William Bcauiaont, U. S. A., who nside a window Into the stomach of the Indian, Alexis St. Martin In 1682 and gave the world Its flfrst accurate knowledge of diges tion. The brain window Is In the tieaa of a man, a dairy farmer. The fine wires cause no pain, and In the gray matter not even any feeling. They are placed during experiments which last about two hours, then removed. The Jaw center which they have disclosed lies on a lino drawn from the left temple, straight up. and about two-thirds of the way from the tem ple to the top of tho head. It lies near- j ly two Inches under the surface of tho left half of the brain. Sends Out Current From this center when the Jaws are at rest, flow a steady, pulsating elec trical current, the same brain waves which scientists havo previously iden tified from all parts of the brain with plclc-up Instruments placed outside the skull. But when the farmer cIobos his Jaws the current Jumps In volume. The Jaw center of brain matter sud denly develops a high electrical po tential. No other movement causes the slightest rise In potential or current, neither bending, moving lege, arms, stretching, hunching shoulders, arching the back, nor anything else that the farmer can do readily while his head is "wired." No kind of thought, Imagination, or memory feat produces a current from this Jaw center. "Whenever he closed his Jaws tight ly," Dr. Jacobson reported, "this par ticular spot in his brnin became very active, but only so long as he contin ued to keep them tightly clnsrd. When ha relaxed his Jaws this brain spot quieted down In Its electrical ac tivitythat Is It relaxed also. Relaxation Cuts Flow "One thing shown by these studies Is that a man presumably can by re- i laxlng any particular muscle orfect , a relaxation at least In one section : of his brain, namely the 'center' for that muscle. ! "There has been much evidence ; leading many physicians and psysinl ogiats to accept tho view that such centers exist and help explain the control exercised by tho human brain, but some persons have challenged the evidence because It was indirect. "Tho present studies afford the first direct evidence that such centers exist In the hurnn brain and partici pate during normal activities." PLANS MONASTIC LIFE (Copyright, 1033, by Aswlatwl Press.) VIENNA, Dec. 31. Members of the Austrian feclrral diet told the Asso ciated Fre. s lwt nl.;ht that Chan cellor Kurt SrhuschiiVt contemplates retiring lo a monastery.

The slight Increase over last year In value of Oregon crops was said to be due to larger production of field crops and minor crops in 1034. and to Improved prices for most crops, PORTLAND, Dec. 31. (P) A 7 percent increase over last year in winter wheat acreage In Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana was reported today by C J. Borum. sta tistician for the federal department of agriculture. Ranchers seeded 3,677,000 acres in the four states, compared to 3,434,000 acres planted lost fall. The five-year average Is 9,722,000 acres. "This increase over last fall In planting of winter wheat in this area probably will be compensated by a decrease In spring wheat planted next year," Borum said. Washington, the only department winter wheat state In the United States, was the only one of the four Pacific northwest states to show a docrease In acreage. Planting drop ped 153,000 acres to 1,121,000. Mon tana Increased 355,000 acres to 1, 104,00; Oregon was up 113,000 acres to 800.000, and Idaho Increased 28,000 to 583,000 acres. Borum said the condition of win ter wheat on December 1 was far be low average in all four states. Dry soil and freezing weather have re tarded growth and some reeeedlng may be necessary next spring. The department of agriculture said that for the entire nation the win ter wheat acreage la estimated at 47, 620,000, 6.7 percent above the 1934 fall sown acreage. Heavily Increased scedlngs wore reported In Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado. 4 , Reese Creek REESE CREEK, Dec. 31. (Spl.)

Wash. ma INENT IN 1935 MRI Diversified Groups Aided in Fulfillment of Extensive Plans During Year Work Receives Praise Today marks the close of one of the most active and successful years in the history of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce. During the past 13 months the chamber of commerce has quietly launched and carried out numerous plans to benefit the people of the county, its long list of activities en. compass every commercial enterprise m tne county ana every group oi citi zen from merchants and farmers to consumers. It has assisted also In. civic and artistic endeavors and has proceeded always with an eye to the future, it Is shown by a review of Its year's record. The chamber has earned an en viable reputation and has been prais ed by visiting dignitaries as the most alert and constructively helpful or ganization In the state under the ad ministration of Ben E. Harder as president. Among visitors who voiced such, sentiments were United btates Senators Charles L. McNary and Fred erick ateiwer, Conreessrnan J. J. Mc Swaln, MaJ. Clare a. Armstrong and Dr. Raymond R. Straub of the Oregon state aeronautics board. Long Range View Early In January the chamber of commerce organized the five-year development committee for the pur pose of outlining a comprehensive county program of development. Ag ricultural, mining, Industrial, tourist and civic development were Included in the work of the committee, 'ihe ambitious program was launched during the year, many at Us puases have been carried out or are under development and plans have been mid lor tne completlou or the entire plan over the nest four years. Aso in January the chamber held a series of conferences with com munity and county oificlals to out line a series of WPA projects, most of which were subsequently carried out. In the same month the cham ber actively promoted the "Buy Ore gon Products Campaign," the Mall Tribune winning the George L. Baker trophy for giving the most construct ive newspaper service In the state during the campaign. Procuring of a large WPA grant to modernise the municipal airport was also supported by the chamber and It has since backed an application for an additional grant of $360,000 to make the airport one of the best In the country. Helps Housing Act In February the chamber of com merce got actively behind tho federal housing act and canvassed the entire city In an effort to explain- provisions of the law to home owners. Aa a result much modernization, of homes and buildings was accomplished, It being estimated that Medtord banks lent approximately $126,000 under the housing act. In February the agriculture com mittee reported that an Intensive study hod shown that sweet Spanish onions of a high quality could be grown In the Rogue River valley and that as the harvest was made late In the season there would be a good market not only here nut In San Francisco and Los Angeles. All the growers and grocers of the valley were called in for a conference to determine at what price the on ions could be grown and sold so that a fair deal would be obtained by the farmers, the merchants and the con sumers. With the business thus sys tematized, the farmers increased their "ST J onion crops. The result was that 150, 000 sacks of sweet Spanish onions were grown and marketed In 1035 as against 30,000 for 1034. Unifies Development The same procedure was followed regarding the production of potatoes and as a result 46,000 sacks of pota toes were grown and sold, said to be the largest crop ever produced in the valley. Similar results were obtained with the-peach, apricot, grape, melon and wamut crops. Early In the year the chamber of commerce sponsored a meeting of the Jackson, Josephine and Curry county planning commissions to outline a comprehensive and systematic devel opment program for all of southwest Oregon, The chamber took a leading part In the closing of the Rogue river to commerclrl fishing; entertained Gov. Charles H. Martin and many other visiting dlgnlatrles; assisted In the first annual beautifying contest In Central Point; attended all meetings of the Pacific Hlgnway association; aided in organization of the Southern Oregon Art association; used Its In fluence In obtaining a CCO camp In Prescott Memorial park; launched a series of lnter-clty visitations with Granges of the county; and actively promoted tourist travel. First for Airbuses The chamber of commerce Initiated the Idea of an army alrbase here long before congress recognized the need of additional defensess by providing for a number of such bases In the northwest. The chamber is still act ively working to bring one of the army alrbasess to Medford, The chamber's mining committee recommended to Governor Martin that the legislature appropriate a fund for a thorough survey of min erals In this section and only re cently the governor took steps to have a complete mineral survey of the en tire state. During the year the retail mer chants' committee of the chamber of commerce carried out numerous cam paigns to emphasize the splendid service Medford shops can offer and to allow shoppers a wide selection of high-quality merchandise at bargain prices. At all times the chamber of com merce worked harmoniously with the city and county administrations, the CCC, the Granges, the United States forest service, national park and oth er services and all other organiza tions to protect and promote the many diversified interests and activi ties of the people of Jackson county.
