Homes Is F. C. A. Chief's View of Measure WASHINGTON, July 3. (AP) William I. Myers, governor of the farm credit administration, 6aid to-1 day only a "very slight minority" of farmers will "have to go Into bank- j ruptcy to save their homes" under the Frazier-Lemke act giving a par-j tial six year moratorium on farm mortgages. The measure was signed Friday by l President Roosevelt. He expressed the opinion that "losses of capital will not greatly exceed, if they ex- i ceed at all. the losses that would be sustained If this measure were not signed." Its Farm Credit Plan. Myers, In a statement, said the legislation fits in with the farm credit program "since Its attempts to prevent occasional selfish credi tors from foreclosing on distressed farm debtors." The general recovery program of the past year and loans made by the federal land banks and tho land bank commissioner have relieved the "great majority . of distressed farm mortgage cases," Myers added. He said more than 86 per cent of the installments on land bank com missioner loans which matured pri or to June 1 were paid before they were due. Of the delinquent loans two-thirds were for less than 30 days, he added Loan 5 Per Cent. "Loans by the land bank commis sioner have been made, and will con tinue to be made, up to 75 per cent of the normal value of farms, ' he said. "Although less than one-tenth of the farms In the country were In lebted for more than 70 per cent of their value at the time the refinanc ing program began. "At that time more than one-half of all the farms In the country were free from mortgages. The ten per cent of the farms mortgaged for 70 per cent or more of their value has been cut to an even smaller per cent age since last year by the refinanc ing program, thus diminishing to ex ceptional cases the number of possi ble applicants for bankruptcy under the Frazler-Lamke bill." tween the ages of 18 and 25, arrived In Medford on the Oregonlim this morning from Vancouver Barracks, and were sent to Camp Applegate, to fill the quota for that camp. Yesterday there were nine enrolles and 244 local experienced men en rolled "by the CCC headquarters. The district enrollment Is to be completed on Friday, It was announced today. v mv l Meteorological Report July 3. 1034 Forecasts Mcdford and vicinity: Fair tonUht and Wednesday; moderate tempera ture.

HAD A BERTH sleeper. It was a heavy train and a cold night snowing and I thought about the titan with his hand on the throttle. I admire and respect those men." 'S IS FILED IN COURT An order of commitment on the supreme court mandate, dismissing the appeal of Gordon L. Schermer horn, former sheriff of Jackson county and last of the 21 men ac cused of participation In the ballot thefts not imprisoned or on parole, was filed In circuit court yesterday by the attorney general's office. Schermerhorn was granted a stay of 14 days by the court, when his three-year sentence was confirmed last Saturday by Judge George F. Skipworth of Eugene. The court, the attorney general and district at torney concurring, recommended that Schermerhorn be granted a condi tional pardon after serving six months In state prison. The attorney gen eral's office concurred "with the dis tinct understanding that he not ap ply for a parole In the meantime." July 15 is the zero day for Scher merhorn to enter the penitentiary, and the pioneer resident has express ed the wish to friends that he be allowed to go to Salem on his own recognizance and present his own commitment papers to the warden. The 14-day stay of execution was granted to he could place his affairs In order. The order remanding Schermerhorn to Btate prison, with clemency in six months, was generally regarded throughout the county as one of wis dom and Justice. The granting of a parole was viewed by state and coun ty officials as tho probable signal for demands that Earl H. Fehl, for mer county Judge; Walter J. Jones, former mayor of Rogue River, and J. Arthur LaDleu, former business aide of L. A. Banks, be accorded the same right. The vote-stealing pris oners were watching with Interest the outcome of the Schermerhorn plea. All are serving four-year terms. Thomas Brecheen of Ashland, sen tenced to 18 months on the same charge. Is eligible for discharge the first week of August. During the remaining period of grace, Schermerhorn Is at liberty on the $7500 bonds invoked during the appeal period. Judge Skipworth, In affirming the three-year sentence, expressed sym pathy with Schermerhorn, and said: "I would have no hesitancy in grant ing a parole tf you alone were In volved, because I feel you have learn ed your lesson." The court remarked: "There Is no question ot passive guilt. He was there, and knew what was going on." The court reiterated that the defendant was the dupe of Fehl, and "was sheriff In name only, and it was never Intended to be other wise.1 ONLY 4 MORE DAYS in (he ninth SHE SCENE Latest reports on the strike situa tion in Portland were brought to Med ford this week by Ted Hlgglna, dis trict manager In southern Oregon for the General Petroleum corpora tion. The big tanker "Tejon" of the General Petroleum tank fleet, which has figured prominently In recent news, was visited by Mr. Higglns In company with Al Horn, division man ager In Portland. "While in Portland, Mr. Horn em phasized the fact that the General Petroleum corporation has taken no sides In the strike controversy." Hlg gins said today. "Our company has unloaded fuel oil and other petroleum products actually needed for Institu tions, such as hospitals, absolutely dependent upon them. It Is with the idea of this public service, rather than any effort to weaken either side In the strike that General Petroleum lias unloaded products at the Portland docks." PEAR TESTS FOR The pear testing service as render ed by the county agent's office in former seasons Is now available to all pear growers of the county, states County Agent L, P. Wilcox. The pressure test method of deter mining maturity and thus tho time of harvest was first worked out by the Oregon experiment station and Is at this time considered the most reliable method of tailing when peavs should be ptcked In order to obtain maximum quality. Growers are Invited to avail them selves of this service and learn when their harvest should best be started.
