WHEAT LOAN NEAR
59 CENTS BUSHEL
IS GENERAL VIEW
Federal Farm Officials Begin
Drafting Details of , Pro
gram Consider Export
Subsidies As Help.
WASHINGTON, July 13. Fed
eral farm official began drafting do
tail today of a wheat loan program,
made mandatory by the forecast of a
near-record crop.
Although provisions will not
.innounced for a few days. It was
generally expected the loans would
be about 59 cents a bush lei, the min
imum allowed under the new crop
control act. The maximum Is about
88 cents.
The loans can be obtained by farm
era who wish to store their wheat
until prices Improve. They are re
quired by law whenever the July esti
mate of production exceeds normal
domestic and export needs of about
700,000,000 bushels
Surplus Is Problem.
The federal crop reporters predict
ed yesterday a yield of 867,103.000
bushels, only 41.000,000 bushels short
of the record 19 IS crop.
. H. R. Tolloy, agricultural adjust
ment administrator, said that stor
age of wheat under government loans
waa not the only method the ad
ministration expects to employ to
combat the surplus problem.
"We've got to export a lot of
wheat." he said.
. The administrator said that con
alderatlon was being given, among
others, to proposals to subsidize ex
porta or the grain, but that no de
clslon had been reached.
Exports of 1037 wheat totaled about
85,000.00 bu&hels. Tolley said present
prospect for exports during the next
13 month did not exceed loo.ooo.ooo
bushels.
A third step In the surplus re
moval program, he explained, will
be promulgation thla week ot a pro
gram for a small wheat crop next
year. Growers may be asked, he
said, to plant only Bfl.OOO.ODO acres,
compared with 70,600.000 seeded for
this year's crop.
Would Force Acreage Out.
Farmers would have to abide by
reduced acreage allotments In order
to be eligible for wheat payments,
which may total about $130 000.000.
Whether the agriculture depart
ment will have a corn surplus prob
lem will be determined by weather
conditions during the- next three
weeks. The crop reporting board
forecost a yield of 3.483,103,000 bush
els. Officials said that If this esti
mate waj borne out by the August
report, it might be necessary to pro
pose marketing quotas.
If approved by two-thirds of the
corn-belt producers to store a cer
tain percentage of their crop or pay
stiff penalty taxes.
If harvest figures bear out the
wheat forecast, the bread-grain sup
ply for the next 13 months would be
about 1,107,413.000 bushels." Includ
ing an estimated surplus of 900,000.
000 bushels from last year. Thus a
surplus of at least 417,000.000 bush
els above normal needs Is Indicated,
compared with the record of 878,000,
000 In 1033.

Odd Apple Tree Attracts
Visitors to Reimer Home
Close to the home of Prof. r. O.
Reimer at the southern Oregon ex
periment station near Talent la a
yellow transparent apple ttec that
attract and baffles numerous visi
tors. The odd thing about the tree la
that every year one-half of It is
chock-full of applea while the other
half Is absolutely bare.
Tills oddity baffles the- visitors,
but to Prof. Reimer It Is simply an
example ot applied horticultural
science.
Most apple trees, the professor
explains, are biennial bearers. They
will have a bounteous crop one year
and an exceedingly light crop the
next. Reason Is that the fruit buds
must start developing a year before
production and when most apple
trees are producing fruit they haven't

the time or strength to develop next
year's buds. So there are alternate
years of big production.
That was the case with Prof. Rei
mer's apple tree. One year he'd have
more apples than he could ure; the
next year he wouldn't have enough.
The professor got tired of this
feast-and-f amine arrangement. So
six years ago he stripped half the
tree of all Its apples early In the
season. The other half he left, alone.
The stripped half was thus enabled
to produce fruit buds for production
the following year,
Now everybody Is happy. The tree

LONDON, July 13. (AP) Brit
ain poured 22,001,000 pounds
($114,005,000) more Into her air
rearmament program today and
announced the Immediate dis
patch' of a new mission' to 'Can
ada to arrange for the manufac
ture of heavy bombers,
Blr Klngsley Wood, secretary for
air, told tho house of commons
the special mission under Sir
Hardman Lever would go to Can
ada "for the purpose of entering
Into negotiations with the Cana
dian aircraft industry for the
manufacture of large bomber air
craft In panada."
The additional alrforce funds
were provided for In a supple
mentary budget estimate which
also called for an Increase In per
sonnel from 83,000 to 06,000.
LONDON. July 13. (AP) Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain told
the house of commons today Britain
waa "not prepared to acquiesce In re
petition of attacks of a certain char
acter" on British shipping In Span
ish waters.
Ho also disclosed that the govern
ment's effort tS form an interna
tional commission to Investigate
bombings of civilian cities In Spain
had been unsuccessful. Another an
nouncement was that Sir Robert
Hodgson, British agent In Insurgent
Spain, would stay In London for
"the present."
Reject Immune Port
Chamberlain said Britain had re
jected as "unacceptable" Insurgent
General Franco's suggestion that
Almerla be made an "Immune" port
for British merchantmen In govern
ment Spain.
Disclosing a new note from Franco
Insisting that his filers had not
bombed British ships deliberately, the
prime minister reiterated that "ships
trading In porta in the war zone
must accept the risks which are an
.inevitable result of war."
He went on to say, however, that
"while any military action In such
circumstances is thus precluded, his
majesty's government are not pre
pared to acquiesce In repetition of
attacks of a certain character."
Investigation Falls
Discussing tho International com
mission to Investigate bombings of
civilians, he said the scheme, In
which tho United States, France, Nor
way, Sweden and later The Nether
lands had been invited to Join, had
been found "Impossible."
Instead, he said, Britain would send
a British mission of two men to
Spain,
(The United States declined Brit
ain's Invitation and Sweden followed
ault).
BARCELONA. July 13. AP) The
Spanish government has accepted in
principle the British-sponsored plan
for withdrawal of foreign soldiers
from the Spanish civil war.
In a note to Britain published by
tho foreign office tonight, the gov
ernment said It always had favored
elimination of foreign influences.
The British scheme was adopted by
the 26-natlons nonintervention com
mittee In London July 5 and then
submitted to the Spanish government
and Insurgents.
The United States, which has
only six percent of the world pop
illation has 70 percent of the auto

Famed Maker of Surgical
Devices Is Visitor Here

story tn the Mall Tribune yesterday
aa the designer of an apparatus used
with a new type of surgery for the
lengthening of lege shriveled by In
fantile paralysis. Accompanied by his
wife, Mr. Kern la a guest of his
father-in-law, H. O. Negaard of tho
Rogue River orchard near Jackson
ville. Mr. Kern has been publicized quite
widely for his unusual work at the
University of California hospital In
San Francisco. In a feature article
in the San Francisco Chronicle he
was once described as a gnome who,
Instead of making beautiful tops to
gladden the hearts of children, twists
steel and cuts leather and from them
fashions grotesque things.
These grotesque things, however,
also "gladden the hearts of children
and also of adults and, after all,
they are beauteous things In their
simplicity and efficiency," the Chron
icle wrote of Mr. Kern.
A 35-year-old Oerman-born artisan,
Mr. Kern was kept from being a aur
geon by the World war. Now he Is

CHEESE PLANT SITE
ROGUE RIVER, July 13. (SpU
With a site donated the Cooperative
Dairy- Goat association by the city
of Rogue River, plans are going
ahead to establish a goat cheese
factory there in the near future. It
waa announced by Mrs. Kay Turner,
a member of the association's board
of directors.
Equipment for the factory is to
be secured from a member of the
association, who will also donate his
services in operating the business
for the Cooperative Dairy Goat asso
ciation. Mrs. Turner said.
A covered dish picnic will be held
by the association Sunday. July 24,
at 1 o'clock In the Rogue River city
perk when reports of the group's

Now he la to be given almost un
limited time to do the things he
likes to do devising supports for
twisted little bodies. Inventing and
perfecting queer mechanical contrap
tions to help surgeons do the thlngb
they want to do.
For seven years Mr. Kern has work
ed In his little shop in the basement
of the university hospital. One of
his latest creations is an operating
chair that can also be used as an op
erating table. It la Intended to in
crease the ease with which surgeonr
may treat various parts of the pat
lent. Mr. Kern works closely with phy
sicians and surgeons. When they get
blocked in their work for lack of a
device peculiarly suitable to' their
needs, they go to him. Usually he
produces a contrivance that will do
the work. That is his Job.
A brace maker, Mr. Kern explained,
must be able o take measurements,
envision the type of device required
and then design and manufacture it.
He must have a knowledge of anat
omy. It Is a gnome-like work but on it
depends the success of much of mod
ern surgery.
