ASSOCIATION PROPOSED
FOR SWEET POTATOES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Pro-
posed organization of a cooperative
marketing association to handle the
entire sweet potato crop of the
south was discussed today by w. B.
Farrar, manager of the Texas Farm
Bureau Sweet Potato Growers Ex-
change, before a sectional meeting
of the National Council of Farmers
Cooperative Marketing associations.
The need of a commodity associa-
ton to handle the southern sweet
potato crop, Mr. Farrar said, was
shown in the fact that while so per
cent of the crop of the United States
is grown in the south, only 20 per
cent of the entire national produo-
ton is shipped from that section.

Cooperative Marketing
Promises More Help to
Farmer Than Anything

WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.-Presi-
dent Harding, in a letter read
at the opening session of the national
council of farmers cooperative mar
keting associations, declared that he
knew of mo single movement that
promises more help towards the pres
ent, relief and the permanent better
ment of agricultural conditions"
than the cooperative organization Of
farmers to market their products.
The presidents letter was read by
Senator Ernst, Republican, Ken
lucky, to whom it had been addressed
as a greeting to the council. De-
claring he wanted the government
to do everything within reason and
sound procedure" for the aid of the
farmers. Mr.. Harding said, he was
Z "still more anxious that the farm
ers shall themselves cooperate to
make the government efforts dou-
bly, efficacious."
Could Not Attend
After explaining that press of pub
lie business prevented him from at
tending the council meeting, ,Presi-
dent Harding in his letter, contin-
ued: y
II know no single movement that
promises more help toward the pres
ent relief and the permanent bet
torment of agricultural conditions
than this one. Whoever has cared
to read my recent message to the
congress will understand the depth
of my conviction about the necessity
to do everything possible to help the
farmer through his present era of
depression. !
II am anxious that the govern
ment do everything within reason
and sound procedures; and 1 am still
more anxious that the farmers
themselves cooperate.
Delegates representing the asso-
Citations interested in every major
product, from cotton of the south, to
California fruit, came to Washing
ton to take part in the three-day
conference.
Exhaustive Program
The program included complete

associations and how to handle
them; problems of each commodity
group, and cooperative education

voted largely to addresses by Secre-
tary Wallace, Secretary Hoover, DR..
Julius Klien, director of the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce,
and representative of farm organi-
cations.

believed should be devoted to an ex-

Governor Morrison further de-
clared he disagreed with Governors
Parker and Olcott on their proposed
methods for fighting the khan, which,
he said, could not be legislated out

While he did not mean to defend

second as Florida's memorial to her

AUTOMOBILE FILM
WAS REAL TREAT
Every Step in Making of studebaker
Car Was Shown at the
Bonita Theatre.

All those who failed to attend the
free picture at the Bonita Theatre yes
terday afternoon and last night missed
a real treat-an educational film we'll
worth while. Primarily the purpose OF
the picture was TO give the public an
idea OF the immensely of the studebaks
err automobile plant, and to picture
each set in the nake-up of the car but
it was more than an advertisement.
The picture showed the route over
which the Studebaker Light Six broke
all previous records for speed and en-
durance and how the car behaved on
the test run. These routes were some

trails Glong the Pacific coast. This
part of the picture was very interest
ing and furnished thrills galore.
The most educational part OF the
film was the scenes snapped at the
large Studebaker plants at South
Bend. Ind, where the Light Six is
turned out. Every step in the making
of the car was reproduced before the
eyes Of the spectator; millions of dol
lars worth of machinery, hundreds of
immense buildings. tons OF raw ma
terials being converted into the fin

The picture depicted the raw ma
terials from the time it was in the
crude stage until il had been worked
into some part In the make UP of the
car. 1t showed how the engine blocks
were moulded. machined and made
ready for assembling, how the axles,
the running gear the steering appara-
tus, the body, in fact. how every part
OF the car was manufactured and put
together. This was very interesting
indeed, and those who attended and
were entertained are indebted TO Jack

putting on such feature, and with
