WILSON PREDICTS
. .USUAL PROGRESS
OF SOIL TILLERS
(Continued from Page 1.)
''Russia can not produce more
than she can consume, if it is
properly distributed. At present,
however, production under the five
year program is out of balance
with the ability to consume the
produce. Other nations will suffer.
"There is no nation that could
have stood the change Russians
are undergoing." Wilson stated
with gestures. "Russia has been in
turmoil for more than 200 years
and Is used to it." Socialism is
nothing but another chapter in. the
daily life of the Russian, it seems
to the speaker.
To the question of why there is
so much furor about machiniza-
tion of the farms the Montana big
farm expert gives this answer
"Socialists are great worshipers of
macmnes."
Explains Soviet Reason.
Then he told why the soviet gov
ernment is anxious to put industry
on a large scale basis.
"A socialistic program will
never be successful until the peas
ant - farmer is put out of the
game," Wilson said as he quoted
Stalin, the soviet leader.
"Karl Marx has saidA' he quoted
further,' "that all business will be
in trusts and the farmer will fall
out automatically." No one, he
added, has written more enthusi
astically about machines than
Marx.
"There are many things con
ducive to an efficient kind of
farm," the American expert re
lated. "Russia has found bow to
produce efficiently in large
amounts and is ready to complete
her work In 1932."
The promise that the soviet re
gime has given to the peasants,
Wilson explained, is that when the
work is done everyone will live in
luxury. -Until then tbey must slave.
. . . Until then the nations of the
world will have to be satisfied with
Russian competition.
Remarkable Changes.
There have been remarkable
changes made in Russian wheat
farming, according to Mr. Wilson
une American, he said, with
American wheat raising machin
ery can do more than seventv-five
peasant iamuies.
Wilson worked in what he rro-
claimed as the largest experiment
station in the world. The project
mapped out by the reeime is 117.-
000 acres in extent. Next vear it
will be Increased to 287,000 acres.
This vast amount of land is di
vided into land operating units of
10,000 acres each. Three or four
tractors are worked on each unit
if the land is allowed to lay 50
percent under summer fallow.
Each unit is divided into four
fields three times as long as they
are wide and the work is done in
a hurry.
Kitchens, dining rooms, sleeping
quarters, and machine shops are
carried along on trucks. The crew
consists of a manager and an as
sistant manager, two shifts of
tractor operators, four machinists
and two greasers of machinery. It
averages about 623 acres to the
man and runs as high as S00
acres.
"We who live in this western
civilization find ourselves in a dif
ficult situation because of machine
farming," Wilson concluded. "It
has brought about surplusses. We
have the greatest problems to
solve that has ever faced this
country."
Dr. Rose Speaks.
"You have contests in judging
crops and livestock," charged Dr.
Mary Swartz Rose as she began
her message, "but do you Judge
children? Do you know their fine
points and their weaknesses?
"Yet, you know of the tools.
the foods," she continued, "you
have had them all your life, but
what have you done with them?"
Dr. Rose had a table covered
with curious diagrammed figures
by means of which she illustrated
her address. She showed the com
parative values of calories and
vitamines in the various foods con
sumed. "Women of today are four
pounds heavier and several inches
taller than their mothers," she
remarked. "It is no longer a sin
for women to eat.
"Food is not a matter of having
plenty, it is a question of what to
eat rather than how much. It is
that kind of . knowledge which is
going to enable us to conquer the
earth.
Marshall Speaks.
"Young people were never more
progressive than they are at the
present time," Hon. Duncan Mar- i
shall declared as he took the plat-
It was at this Juncture that
Freddie Horton awoke and be
stirred himself. Horton was a pe
culiar player; he was either pas
sive or brilliant. He could not do
good line work; he could not help
other men play. If he did any
thing he must take matters into
his own hands, and' he generally
did; no one in the northwest had
ever made such nervy, dashing
plays as he; he seemed to have the
faculty of making sensational and
romantic situation In footbaal just
as he did in poetry. .He played with
his imagination. The second half
was half over, and as yet he had
done nothing but blunder. His
honor and the honor of the team
head of the table correct and fault
thought of it the big veins stood
out in his forehead and he set his
teeth hard together. At last his
opportunity came, or rather he
made it. In a general scramble for
the ball he caught it in his arms
and ran. He held the ball tight
against his. breast until he could
feel his heart knocking against the
hard skin; be was conscious of
nothing but the wind whistling In
his ears and the ground flying un
der his feet, and the fact that he
had ninety yards to run. Both
teams followed him as fast as they
could, but Horton was running for
his honor ,and his feet scarcely
touched the earth. The spectators,
who had waited all the afternoon
for a chance to shout, now rose to
their feet and all the lungs full of
pent-up enthusiasm burst forth
But the gods are not to be fru.i
trated for a man's honor or his
dishonor, and when Freddie Hor
ton was within ten yards of the
goal he threw his arms over his
head and leaped into the air and
fell. When the crowd reached him
they found no marks of injury ex
ccpt the blood and foam at his
mouth where his teeth had bitten
into his lip. But when they looked
at him the men of both teams
turned away shuddering. His knees
were drawn up to his chin; his
hands were dug into the ground on
either side of him; his face was
the livid, bruised blue of a man
who dies with apoplexy; his eyes
were wide open and full of un
speakable horror and fear, glassy
as ice. and still as though they had
been frozen fast in their sockets,
It was an hour before they
brought him to, and then he lay
perfectly quiet and would answer
no questions. When he was
stretched obliquely across the seats
or a carriage going home he spoke
for the first time
"Give me your hand, Reggie; for
God's sake let me feel something
warm and human; I am awful
sorry, Reggie; I tried for all my
life was worth to make that goal,
but " he drew the captain's head
down to his lips and whispered
something that made Reggie's face
turn white and the sweat break
out on his forehead. He drew big
Horton's head upon his breast and
stroked it as tenderly as a woman.
There was silence in the dining
room of the Exter bouse that night
when the waiters brought in the
last course. The evening had not
been a lively one. The defeated
men were tired with that heavy
weariness which follows defeat,
and the victors seemed strained
and uneasy in their manners. They
all avoided speaking of the game
and forced themselves to'speak of

before the goal when Mr. Horton
made his run. T rronose the first
toast of the evening to the twelfth
man, who won the game. Need I

The silence was as heavy as be
fore. Reggie extended his glass to
the captain beside him, but sud
denly his arm changed its direc
tion; he held the glass out over the
table and tipped it in empty air as
tho touching glasses with some
one. The sweat broke out on Reg
gie's face; he put his glass to his
lips and tried to drink, but only
succeeded in biting out a big piece
of the rim of his wine glass. He
spat the glass out quickly upon his
plate and began to laught, with the
wine coring out between his white
lips. Then everyone laughed; lean
ing upon each other's shoulders,
they gave way to volleys and
shrieks of laughter, waving their
glasses in hands that could
scarcely hold them. The negro
waiter, who had been leaning
against the wall asleep, came for
ward rubbing his eyes to see what
was the matter. As he approached
the end of the table he felt that
chilling wind, with its damp, wet
smell like the air from a vault,
and the unnatural cold that drove
to the heart's center like a knife
blade.
"My Gawd" he shrieked, drop

cuiate gurgling cry he fled out of
the door and down the stairway

steadying himself against the ban-
isier. his dress coat was torn, his
hair was rumpled down over his
forehead, his shirt front was
stained with wine, and the ends of
his tie were hanging to his waist.
He stood looking at the men and
they looked at him, and no one
spoke.
Presently a man rushed into the
hall from the office and shouted:
"McKlnley has carried Ohio bv
eighty-one thousand majority!"
and Rcgiland Ashton, the product
of centuries of democratic faith
and tradition, leaped down the tlx
remaining stairs and shouted:
"Hurrah for Bill McKinley."
In a few minutes the men were
looking for a carriage to take
Regiland Ashton home.

straight beards, clean beard , and
dirty beards, in fact, beards of all
kinds, will be very much in order
on the Oregon state campus the

Men who had deplored the ne

longed to see themselves sporting

coeds who admire real, hirsute he
