 Since the governor opened his drive on mob violence last Tuesday by placing Okmulgee county under martial law letters telling of mob activities have been pouring in on the executive, Blake said. Disclaim- ing any intention to leave the inn pression that eases of mob violence In the state have been the work of "any one organization" the govern or's secretary added that while the outrages could not be traced "di- rectly" to one organization he be- lieved most of them could be traced Indirectly"

Harding Finds Western Wheat Men Are Not Satisfied With Agricultural CreditS-NeW Plans To Be Offered
 FEDERAL LIMITATION OF PRODUCTION SUGGESTED National Bank Of Commerce Declares Too Much Grain Is Being Planted And Reduced Prices Are Thus Caused
By RAYMOND CHAPTER Leased Wire to The Age-H erald)

WASHINGTON, JuHe 30.-Presi- dent Harding and Congress have tink cred with the farmers problem for two years on the theory that all he needed was a good shove and he would soon be rolling along in high gear But, as the President dis covered when he went out to a wheat farm near Hutchinson, Kan, a few days ago, and as the belligerent cries from Minnesota and the northwest indicate, the boost didn't help much. In 1921 the war finance corporation was revived, and loaned several hun dred millions of dollars to the farm CTS. Congress followed this up by establishing an elaborate rural credits system, But still the farmers limp along weakly.
 How many are beginning to won der whether the trouble isn't more deep-seated; whether there is not more wheat produced than the de- mand requires.

 This question, which is certain to he thoroughly investigated when Congress returns. is being raised, strangely. not by the farmers but by hard headed economists and bank CTS. They are on the verge of rec ommending that something be done to restrict prOduction-or at least prevent it from becoming any greater a remedy which though seemingly contrary to all laws of lasting pro Eress, appears to to offer the only solution.

 Eaborating the possibilities of such a chart, Lieutenant Swenson said it would enable anthropologists 10 trace links between continents in order to reach d determination of tho manner in which animals mlgrat- sd to countries which are noow sepa- rated by ceans.
 With the chart as a basis, marin DTS approaching the California coast could direct their craft, if equipped with the Sonic finder to any harbor 5y means of deductions from the finder interpreted by the chart, navy officers said.
 Tho expedition furnished revela- tfons regarding the floor of the ocean off tho Pacific coast, which show an egg-shapcd. submerged prominence on the bod of the Pacific Ocean at a point 30 milos southwest of the Far alone Islands, off the Golden Gate ontrlIce of San Francisco Bay.
 Tho chart also shows that if San Francisco Bay and tho Pacific Ocean were pumped down 100 fathoms (60O feot) the coast line would be removed 30 miles from tho Golden Gate straits and connect with the Farallones. Off the coast of Southern Cali l fornia the ecean is spotted with de | pressions and contours resembling a land condition of mountains and lakes. This condition obtains in a limo with tho oil fields off the coast of Santa Barbara county.
