AIRPLANE SOLVES

I
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 5. (AP)
The airplane has solved the mystery
of the missing Pilchard schools,
Charles Oanlere, recently employed by
the Oregon Pilchard company as aer
ial observer, reported here today.
He made his first "strike" Sunday
on his fifth scouting expedition, and
his discovery sent the company boats
north of their usual fishing grounds,
toward Tillamook Head, the youthful
aviator said.
"It's not surprising the fishermen
found It difficult to find schools.
They're best seen from an altitude of
1000 feet on up to 5.000," he related.
"At that height you can look right
down through the water and the "lsh
are well defined.
- "Bo how could a fisherman have
chance watching from the deck of a
little boat? Not much." i
Finding the schools from the air,
he explained, changes the actual fish
ing from a night to a daytime occu
pation. Fish were spotted previously when
Individuals splashed from the water
Into the beams of huge searchlights,
or by their phosphorescent glow.
'We haven't located any really btg
schools yet, but the mystery of where
the school were before our experi
ment started la solved," Oanlere said
He sold a "patch" of pilchards
measuring 50 by 150 feet represented
about 300 tons, and the schools have
been known to cover an acre.

FARM SOLIDARITY
IS WALLACE PLEA
TO AIDJROGRAM
Mutual Understanding Nec
essary Says Secretary
Seven Fundamental Prin
ciples Are Outlined.
CALDWELL, Idaho, Aug. fl. (AP)
-Secretary of Agriculture Henry A,
Wallace made a plea for farm sol
idarity among agriculturist of the
entire nation In an address today be
fore the Dairymen's Cooperative
creamery here.
"A sound agricultural policy can
be sustained In this country only on
the basis of mutual understanding
of farm groups and solidarity among
them," Wallace said. "If farmers
spilt Into regional warring camps,
the hope of a sound 'and enduring
agricultural program la dim.
Will Aid Program
"If the different agricultural re
gions recognize this essential unity
of their Interests, If the great groups
of farmers stand together In support
of sound farm policies and If we
all seek to harmonize agricultural
welfare with national welfare, the
hope of a sound farm program Is
bright."
Wallace outlined seven fundamen
tal principles of agriculture:
Farmers mould have a share in
the national income which will give
the average farmer as much pur
chasing power as the average non
farmer. Welfare of all farmers demands
that wide fluctuations in supply and
price of the major crops be evened
out so far as possible by the use
of ever-normal granary and crop In
surance. .
People who live on the land must
have security of tenure.
Boll must be conserved for the
sake of future farmers and future
city people.
Farmers must come Into control
of those marketing, processing, pur
chasing, and service functions for
which they are capable of displaying
superior business efficiency cooper
atives. Family Farm Best
Fmlly-lxed farms should be fav
ored by the federal rules having to
do with benefit payments and other
such aids to rural income.
Federal and state money should
continue to be spent to promote
agricultural research and better farm
efficiency.
"These unifying' principles for
which we should all continuously
battle should serve not only the wel
fare of farmers but the welfare of
the entire nation." Wallace contin
ued. He told the Idaboans that Senator
James P. Pope, (D, Idaho) "has
been a steady, constructive force Is
behalf of farm unity."
Wallace accused the "old guard"
of attempting to destroy farm sol
idarity and "farm security determines
national security, farm sentiment de
termines the national direction."
Group Interdependence has be
come the cornerstone of the new
economy. It Is the Job of the peo
ple who live on the new frontier
such ss Idaho to find new ways
and means of making the economic
wheels go round without friction or
regional and national depression.
The way to get at local problems is
to get at national problems, and tie
the two together."
