Small Minority Will Have to
Go Into Bankruptcy to
Keep. 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

district enrollment Is to be completed

Medford Garden club will sponsor
a Jackson County Commercial Grow
ers Gladlola show Saturday In the
room formerly occupied by the Jack
son County Bank.
Few people realize that there are
many acres in this county planted to
"glads" and at this season of the year
the fields are gay with gorgeous
blooms, practically unknown to the
home gardener who plants for his
own pleasure.
Many local growers are already
supplying eastern markets and the
bulb Industry promises to become an
important source of income for Med
ford and vicinity.
Every one Interested In flowers at
all, Bhould plan to visit this show
both to enjoy the wonderful flowers
which will be shown and also to
make selections for their own garden
planting.

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

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
