Harding Asks Governors and
Mayors to Organize Ma.
chinery for Correction of
Unemployment Evil.
Central Agency Formed
by The Associated Press.

Washington, Oct. ). - Governors
and mayors throughout the country
were asked by President Harding. in
a public statement today. TO organize
in each community machinery for
the correction OF economic condi-
tions along lines worked out by the
unemployment conference here.
The conference. the president de-
clared. had demonstrated that condi-
tions could not be met properly
without such local cooperation. He
announced that a central agency
would be maintained here under aus
pices of the conference to give ma
tional coordination to the rchabili-
tation effort.
The presidents statement follows:
"The conference which ! recently
summoned to Washington to advise
as to the unemployment situation has
demonstrated that an unusual volume
of unemployment exists and that
pending the recuperation OF trade the
situation cannot be met. in due re-
gard to Our obligations and necessi-
ties. without a much more than usual
organization throughout those states
and municipalities where unemploy-
ment has reached considerable pro-
portions.
Plan Recommended.
THE conference has recommended
a plan of organization which has had
the support of commercial, manu-
featuring, professional. and labor
representatives OF the country. 1t is
highly necessary that more accurate
knowledge should be had, through
such organization. of the volume and
necessities OF the unemployed. 1t is
essential that the cooperation of all
sections of each community should
be brought into action behind such
organization to provide work and as.
sistance, that we may pass through
the coming winter without great suf
fering and distress. II is of national
importance that every community
should at once undertake such or
ganization in order that the nation
may be protected as whole. More
over. the thorough commitment to
such a task is sure to start a thou-
sand activities which will add to our
common welfare.
~, therefore, appeal to the gov
ernors and mayors of the nation that
they should take the steps recom-
by the conference.
Agency Established.
"In order that there may be unity
Of action by all the forces which may
be brought to bear. whether govern
mental or private, the unemployment
conference is establishing an agency
in Washington through which appro-
pirate cooperation can be promoted,
and through which reports on all
progress and suggestions may be
given general circulation and CO.
operation. ! trust this agency will
be supported in this endeavor."
Final plans for the central employ
nent agency are practically COM
pleted, conference officials said, and
Secretary Hoover is to make an an

character of the organization. Col.
Arthur Woods. former police COM

DECADE CHANGES
WESTERN FARMS
States Forge To Front
With New Growing
Methods

CHICAGO, June 11.-(By Asso-
ciated Press 1.-The face of agrjcul-
ture in the middle and south west,
the chief farming section of the coun-
try, has undergone some remarkable
changes in the past ten years it is
shown by reports from state agricul-
tural authorities gathered here.
The decade is indica4e. rs one of
the most mOmentous thst have passed
over American agricultlfe. Improved
methods of farming are given credit
for much of the transformation.
In some states production of their
old time crops has fallen off as at
tention focused elsewhere. Mean
time production per acre has increas-
ed, while other states, by advancing
their own acreage have helped to
wipe out a slack that otherwise might
have resulted. New crops have sprung
to the fore here and there. In several
states the character of farming has
almost been made over.
Texas has forged TO the front un-
til its agricultural chiefs claim more
wheat grown there than in some 9th
er states where wheat is we'll nigh the
principle crop. They declare their
grapefruit and oranges, grown in the
Rio Grande valley, equal the best.
In wheat, Kansas, which holds the
lead. has increased its acreage near
" 100 percent in the last ten years.
The increase is 4,196,000 acres. Okla
