Washington, (UP)—Almost un-
noticed in the crush of other ev-
ents, the farmers of the world hav
| taken a long step forward in set-
ting up their own machinery to
j settle international farm problems
and prevent future depressions.
The four major American farm
organizations, along with similar
groups fjrom 12 other countries, re-
cently met in London to lay the
groundwork for the first world
organisation of independent farm
groups—the International Council
of Agricultural Producers.
National Grange Master Albert
S. Goss said the 11-day meeting-
convinced him that the world’s
independent farm groups “can and |
will work together” to prevent j
economic conflicts between farm- i
ers of various nations. Goss repre- !
sented the Grange at the London

Texas Pecan
Growers to Meet
In Waxahachie
REDICAMENTS
Waxahachie, Tex, July 1—Lead-
ing pecan growers and authorities
and prominent citizens of two
states will converge on Waxaha-
chie Tuesday and Wednesday, July
9 and 16, for a two-day meeting
of the Texas State Pecan Grow-
ers Association, to be held in the
auditorium at Oetzendaner Park,
organization was needed to stabil-
ize farm prices on an interenational
basis.”
“The surplus producing nations
of the world particularly were
agreed that agriculture would lead
the world to bankruptcy unless J
some way were found to deal with j
future surpluses which might set
one nation to under-selling the
others,’ he said.
Goss said several ways were pro-
posed to meet the threat of sur-
pluses. One country suggested a
giant corporation which would buy
up all farm products funneled into
world trade. Another proposed a
world-wide extension service to.
educate farmers in what to grow.
Even prior to the conference,
Goss said, the British Farmers’
Union sent out a tentative con-
stitution for a proposed world fed-
eration of farm organizations
which would have had an elaborate
staff and permanent world head-
quarters.
Compromise Beached
“The four U. S. farm groups felt
this was too ambitious,” he said.
“They thought a couple of years
of consideration might be wise be-
fore we launched a definite pro-
gram. 8here was a feeling that the
whole thing might fold up if we
acted too hastily.”
In addition, James M. Patton of
the National Farmers’ Union was
the only one of the four Ameiican

Noon, basket lunch on grounds at

age.
RICHEST5 CORPORAL’
EXPANDS BUS LINES
Columbus, O. (U.P.) — A 35-
year-old Columbus man, Kenneth
O’Hara, has found gold in Alaska
bus lines.
Known as the Army’s “richestt
corporal” until his discharge last
September, O’Hara recently incor-
porated his O’Hara Bus Lines for
$1,000,000.
O’Hara started his Alaskan ven-
ture after working his way there
on a boat in 1938.
The bus routes are uemg ex-
panded to include Anchorage, Fair-
banks, Homer, Seward, Tok Junc-
tion, Whitehorse and Haines. New
routes will use part of the Alcan
highway.
The heaviest man who ever liyed
was Daniel Lambert, who weighed
739 pounds when he died at the
age of 39, according to the Ency-
clopedia Britannica. Lambert had '
a 102 inch waist line.
Time for Change
Jeffersonville, O. (U. P.) —
The village council of Jefferson-
ville, O., has decided it’s about time

It states: “An automobile shall

by per hour within the village.

jsuecessful and largely attended

pledge his organization to a defin-
ite program. The other three had
to submit their suggestions for ap
proval of their memberships.
As a result, a compromise was;
reached. Tiie' representatives to the
conference pledged $40,000 to set
up a temporary council which will
function during the coming year
under a constitution worked out
at the meeting.
Next year, if the memberships of
the three U. & tarm organizations
and those of two other nations
w*hich also were unable to act
without authority are willing, a
permanent council will be set up.
Its objectives will be:
Cites Objectives
1. To promote the farmer’s wel-
fare all over the world.
2. To exchange agricultural in-
formation and ideas throughout
the world,
3. To encourage efficient farm-
ing methods.
4. To advise and confer with
international food organizations
such as the United Nations Food
, and Agriculture5 Organization so
they will have the viewpoint of the
farmer in whatever plans they
make.
The temporary council will con-
sist of seven members representing
Britain, France, The Netherlands,
Canada, Australia, India and Den-
mark. The United States was ruled
out at its own request because it
was not certain it will become
member.
“We made it plain that we would
have to sell U- S- farmers on the
value of the organization and the
benefits they will get from it,”
Goss explained, adding that the
question of a permanent financial
structure also was carried over un-
til next year.
He said that while the temporary
council will carry on the work of
the organization, it will not be per
