new PIPELINE
In OPERATION
Sicily Extends Distribution
From Texas TO Great
Lakes

CHICAGO, July 29.-tP)-Amer-
ica's 10000 miles of underground
railroad" an invisible network Of
cast iron oil and gas veins flowing
day and night will be increased by
a new line from Texas to the Great
Lakes.
The Central States Natural Gas
company, a new organization spon-
sored jointly BY the Texas, Phil
lips and Sicily oil companies and
the Columbia Carbon company, is
said in recent dispatches to have
started construction OF a gas line
from the Panhandle field Of Texas
to Chicago.
An announcement by attorneys
for the company states that it has
acquired the natural gas rights and
q number Of gas wells on 1872, 600
acres Of land in the Texas PAN
handle.
Various cities in Illinois, Iowa,
Nebraska and neighboring states
are mentioned Is possible points to
be served by the new line. The UNI
dertaking represents an important
step in the direction of conserving
some Of the natural gas that is
now allowed to drift into space.
Almost half the country'S 10000
miles of Oil veins are truck lines
and the remainder consists Of short
lines and feeders. These pipes, car
rying oil and gas from one part of
the country to another, run just be-
low the surface of the ground for q
total distance that is one-third Of
the railroad mileage in the United
States.
The system bears q striking re-
semblance to a railroad network.
It has trunk lines, terminals. StOr-
age yards, stations, switching sys-
tens, telegraph and telephone lines
and diSpatchers.
Engineers assigned the task Of
surveying a route for the new line
across the Mississippi valley, will
60 about their work in much the
same way as builders of a railway
might seek an advantageous route.
A ditch is dug and the pipe buried,
usually about Is inches below the
surface.
Pumping stations are needed at
points 40 miles apart for ordinary
oil but can be placed considerably
farther apart for the transmission
of gas.
If all the oil transported in a year
through the pipe lines now in TX
istence were put in railroad tank
cars 1t would form a train long
enough to encircle the earth one
and one-third times.

Cucu4nbers Grown
By Power Plant

BERLIN, July 29.-(P)-Cucum-
bers as by-products Of an electric
power plant are causing a senSa-
ton here. The municipal power
station of Klingberg, which supplies
a large part Of Greater Berlin's
electric current. has successfully
conducted an experiment in utiliz-
ing the waste steam generated in
the power plant by the turbine n
gines and with it is heating II GU
cumber lighthouses.
The results have surpassed ex-
pectationS. A yield of 100000 cu-
cumbers was gained from $500
plants at a time when vegetation
was still so far behind that all other
cucumbers consumed in Germany
had to be imported from warmer
climates. The home product COM
manded fully as good prices as the
foreign Importation.
Other cities are watching the eX-
pertinent with interest, and it IS
not unlikely that vegetable raising
hereafter will go hand in hand with
electric generating. The Klingen-
berg station already has gone in
for tomatoes, in addition to cucum-
berS.

BOARD OPENS
STUDY TODAY
Farm Group Is Attending
American Institute of
Cooperation
BY FRANK l.. WELLER
ASSOCIATED Press Farm Editor

BATON ROUGE, La, july o.
R-Parenthetically the federal
board is to go to school. For 10
days it will attend general sessions
and sectional conferences Of the
American Institution Of Coopera-
ton at its annual meeting, open
ing today.
The ultimate aim of Il farm
relief ac5 is to rehabilitate Ameri-
can agriculture through the COOP
erative movement. Every angle of
agricultural cooperation viii be
studied at the meeting. BY attend
ing the institute the farm board is
taking advantage Of its first OPP
portunity to study the cooperative
movement at close range as a unit.
G. @. league o. Santa Paula, Cal,
president Of the California Fruit
Growers eX 'ange and the Cali
fornia Walnut Growers association,
has withdrawn his paper on gov
eminent clearing houses since ap-
pointment to the farm board. The
subject, however, will be discussed.
The farm relief provides that CO.
operatives and independent COM
mission men may join in operating
through government clearing
houses. Each would be credited
with relative percentage Of bust
ness.
Since there is an average turn
over Of 10 per cent in cooperative
membership each year, some inter-
ests fear that in soliciting new
members the cooperatives might
encounter trade difficulties with
the independents.
Changes in the federal warehouse
act will be suggested by r. A. Ward,
| general manager of the Pacific Co.
| operative Wool Growers. There is
high interest in the extent to which
the farm relief act will permit eX-
pansion Of ownership OF physical
properties by c~ooperatives.
Nils A. Olsen, chief of the federal
bureau of agricultural economics,
will discuss foreign markets for
American produce. The board is
particularly interested in outlets
for crop SURPRISES. G. o. Moser,
Dallas, chairman of the institute,
will outline present problems Of the
cooperative ACCOMPLISHMENTS
management and membership rela-
tions.
One Of the chief questions Is
whether cooperative shall use sta
bilization corporations for speculat-
ing purposes or merely as market
ing agencies. Speculation embraces
authority BY the farm board to 90
into the open market and buy and
sell with government loans.

TIME SALE OF
PLANES SOUGHT
System Being Worked Out
To Take Care of Sur
plus Production

NEW YORK, July 29.-(RJ-The
problem Of marketing the project
ed production Of between 5000 and
10000 airplanes this year has
brought up the question Of proper
financing Of purchases which a COM
mittee of the aeronautical cham
Der OF commerce is seeking to solve.
The committee is drawing up uni
form time-payment legislation.
Just as the automotive industry
found the time payment plan a
great stimulant to sales, the air
plane industry hopes to provide a
sound means Of financing for in
creasing sales on the deferred pay
ment basis. Several airplane COM
panies have been making sales on
the time plan, financing them in
various ways.
The action Of the committee fol-
lows conferences in Washington
between representatives of finance
companies and William p. Mac
Cracker, assistant secretary of
commerce for aeronautics, regard
ing the new airplane licensing SyS-
tenn soon to be put into effect by
the department. f.
Under the new licensing regula-
tions, finance companies would be
recorded as owners of planes bought
on the time-payment plan, but
would not be subject to any fines
imposed by the department of
commerce for violations Of air traf-
flee rules.
A cooperative agreement is being
worked out with the department
whereby the government would no.
tify finance companies Of applica-
tons for the ~relicensing Of air
planes on which liens exist. Planes
must be re-licenseC when they are
sold by owners. This would en-
able finance companies to ground"
planes through possession for vio-
lation Of contract.
