Group Farming Now Opens
 Up Idle Lands in Spaiir,

Under the provisional govern ment's scheme, the new societies include only the workers, who in turn are subject to supervision by the ministry of labor. The Catho- lie organizations therefore are be- ing remodeled along the new lines
 The government aids the agra rian groups in leasing the land, provided the syndicates are sound ly organized. It leaves the actual cultivation and administration of the communities affairs largely to the farmers.
 Big Brother Act
 However, the government acts as a kind of big brother, giving expert advice, and even going so far as subsidizing societies that need a little financial help.
 The tremendous hope that the provisional government holds in these farm societies was shown when Nicolau D'Oliver, minister of national economy. said:
 Spain is living in a precarious economic condition. We are sur viving largely through our fruit and farm exports and any dimin-

school taxes with whatever money is needed
 Last Word in MOdernity
 To the school, more than 12 miles from the nearest railroad has come modernity. Children from all parts of Herkimer county find here the latest in equipment-radios, talking pictures and a library with the classics, le a d ing magazines and daily newspapers.
 In keeping with MT. Young's plan. there is wide choice of studies. all calculated to give a practical edu- cation.
 On the Well-equipped playground are two swimming pools, one for the tots and the other for older children. As a boy, MT. Young never realized, one of his most cherished ambitions-le arm ng to swim.
 Boiler Room COnfabs
 This tall man with the alert brown eyes often visits the school and asks Maurice s. Hammond, the boyish- looking, earnest-eyed prin- cipal:
 Got a minute? Let's go down to the boiler room and talk things over"
 And to the boiler room they go, where MT. Young hauls forth an old pipe, lights it and chats about the children and the school.
 He likes to sit at the side of a swimming pool with a group of pupils about him and watch oth- CTS play in the water.
 He asks the youngsters many questions about their homefolks, how far away they live, how old they are, and other such things.
 In his home town this 56-year old man whose brown hair shows little silver, is regarded as a person with lots of faith in humanity. In his face they see character. His lack 0f grand airs" draws comment.

MADRID, Sept. 10.-Hundreds of agricultural syndicates are being formed in Spain's rural regions as the result of the republics decis- ion to lease uncultivated estates to farm workers.
 The government hopes to im- prove Spain's agricultural status and better the unemployment prob lem.
 The syndicates will work the land on profit t-sharing basis, leas- ing tracts of government and mu- nicipal lands and those unculti- vated estates whose owners wish to rent them to the syndicates.
 Later, if such an agrarian policy is approved in the national assem- bly,, other tracts will be available for the plan including perhaps, some of the royal estates aban- doned by Alfonso XIII.
 Syndicates Not New
 Agricultural syndicates in Spain are not new. Thousands existed before the republic came, but these were mostly sponsored by the church and included representa- tives of the landowners.

MExIC0PUSHES WORK ON ROAD
 TO TEXAS LINE
Beautiful International Highway will Be Com
 pleted in Year

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 1O.-An- other year or little more will see the opening of a beautiful inter national highway connecting the United States with Mexico City.
 Although the highway was pro- visionally opened" last spring with the blasting of the last rock from the trail in the state of San Luis Potosi, tourist officials and others are warning motorists that the road is not yet in condition to be attempted unless hazardous adven- ture is sought
 The opening in reality merely permitted the passage of workers and burro trains, and for a 200 mile stretch the road is still little more than a trail leading up and down mountain precipices, where slip of a foot or two might mean drop of from LOGO to 5000 feet.
 The new highway now is hard surfaced from Laredo to Ciudad Valles, 435 miles south of the Rio Grande It also is finished full width and hardsurfaced for more than 100 miles north of Mexico City.
 Mexican highway commission en- gineers, however, say that the re- maining mountain stretch of 225 miles is the longest, most difficult mountain road in the world.
 Probably no highway yet pro jected or built offers such variety of scenery as this road which brings the traveller in three hours from the jungle growth of the Atlantic coast to mountain SHOWS on the central plateau.
 The highway is being built en- tirely with dynamite and wheel barrows Road-building machinery was not brought in, even for the most difficult stretches, as the gov ernment desired to create the greatest possible number of jobs. Nevertheless, the work is being pushed rapidly
 The new road opens up nearly 300 miles of virgin territory, whose touch with the outside world is almost negative, and where dwell Indians with primitive customs

VAN TOWNSVILLE, N. Y, Sept l0.-Over this little farming village of about 180 persons hovers the personality of a figure famed in finance-Owen D. Young.
 But it is as a generous friend and kindly neighbor than as an inter national parsonage that residents of his home town view him.
 Many of them have known him all their life. He is Owen" to nearly everyone, and their first names come easily to his tongue.
 It is here that the financier has centered shining hopes in a model school he has built, from which the youths of the community may fare forth into the world without an inferiority complex"
 Here are his chicken and dairy farms, his milk plant, grist mill and fish hatchery-places where most of the villagers find employment.
 Here too, is his modest white home, not unlike others of the community, where his mother lived "a home bright with flowers and green with shrubbery.
 The chief hobby of the one time agent general of world war repar- ations is the school that he built, rising in colonial beauty near the site of the tiny grammar school to which he went as a boy.
 After leaving that little school, he began what he terms his cheese box school days"
 That was when he went to a high school not far away, provis- toned with a weeks food supply that his mother had cooked and stored in a cheese box Each week he returned to his farm home to get a refill"
 At Is he was ready for college, and on borrowed money he went through St. Lawrence university.
 This present-day giant of fi- nance says 1t took "1O or 15 years" for him to get over an inferiority complex, engendered by his early small school days. Sometimes, he says, he still feels that complex
 Largely from this materialized his model school-a place to give the child confidence to cope with the world.
 Built to accommodate 45 or 50 children the school was opened in 1929. The enrolment shot to 168. and work is now under way to give space for 400.
 He supplements the minimum

ishing of them means serious trouble"
 A few days later the Spanish Agriculturalist Association, an i'm portant body of farm owners, said Spains agricultural investments represented 75 per cent of the na- tion'S riches and that agricultural exports formed 65 per cent of all commodities shipped abroad.
 The syndicates are especially numerous in Andalusia and Extre- madura, where the employment problem is most difficult. It is said that the syndicates in Andal- usia alone have a membership of more than 30000.

Prices of mill feeds broke into new

to $7,695 ,000,0 900 on August rs, an In
crease for the year of 81 .366, 100000
This was held by Treasury ofncials
to reflect the caution on the part OF

lack of confidence on the part Of bust
ness men in expanding their operations
through new credit.
The latest weekly statement Of the
