FARMERS’ ILLS LAID TO WASTE IN MARKETING Co-Operative Associations Urged by Secretary of Agriculture. Tliis is one of a series. of interviews with members of the retiring Coolidgc cabinet. BV CECIL OWEN* United Press Staff Correspondent (Conyright. 1929. by United Pressi WASHINGTON. March I.—What's wrong with agriculture? Ills of the farmers may be laid, In the opinion of Secretary of Ag-

riculture William Jardine, to existing “uneconomic and wasteful” marketing methods. Outlining hi s views in an exclusive interview with the United Press today, Jardine said the farmers have not kept pace with other American business men in this respect. Emphasis has been placed on production, and the marketing

end has been neglected,” Jardine explained. “What is needed primarily is more efficient marketing methods through co-operative associations. “The chief trouble with agriculture, and the reason the farmer always goes down first and comes up last in any depression period, is his failure to study markets and keep the selling machinery in his own hands.” The United States, Jardine believes, is capable of consuming vastly more farm products, especially of the perishable fruit and vegetable type, than it now does. In Jardine's opinion, the American farmer would be affected very little by foreign markets if he fully developed the home market. “People in the thousands of small towns throughout this country are ready and. eager to buy more farm products, more fancy vegetables, fruits and similar eatables, if these products can be delivered to them at reasonable cost.” “We must replace the middlemen with co-operative organizations which represent the farmer and which he controls. I do not wish tn the middlemen—he is only trying to earn his living and the

Press a Button and This New Type of Furnace Gets on the Job at Once

By .V BA Service SCHENECTADY, N. Y.. 4arch I.—The American housewife needn't worry about her soiled draperies and linens, nor her husband about his last wink of sleep, these cold mornings, for anew rival of the coal-burning furnace has appeared with the latest invention in home heating. This is an electric furnace, the culmination of seven years of research work at the General Electric laboratories here by Chester I. Hall. The furnace is now being manufactured here and has been put to actual use in lialf a dozen cities of the middle west. The principle is that of a large thermos bottle, in which water is heated to a certain temperature and the heat dyawn off at will. ,

present situation has developed naturally.” “But. there are far too many shippers handling the farmer’s product, resulting in wasteful dumping of farm goods into the great city terminals. A single strong co-operative, instead of the dozens of middlemen handling each product, could regulate the supply to assure a fair return to the farmer and an ample supply at reasonable prices to the consumer.” When he retires from the cabinet, March 3. Jardine will become associated with the Federated Fruit and Vegetable Growers, a co-opera-tive organization."

BUSINESS PICKS UP Increase Activity Shown by Federal Survey. Bet United Press ' WASHINGTON, March I.—lncreased industrial and business activity during January and early February was noted today in the federal reserve board’s monthly business survey. Industrial production continued to be larger th n a year ago. Wholesale commodity prices advanced somewhat. Reserve bank credit outstanding declined and seourity loans by member banks decreased after the first week in February. Building activities, however, declined in January for the third successive month, reflecting primarily declines in residential buildings. Famous Athlete to Wed Bn United Press LONDON, March I.—The famous Olympic track champion, D. G. Lowe, is engaged to marry Miss Karen Thamsen of Copenhagen, Denmark, daughter of th late surgeon, Einar Thamsen, it was announced today. Lowe, who retired from athletics last year, is 26 and a lawj er.

The advantage of this method lies in the fact that the electricity for heating the storage tank can be obtained at night, when the day’s current supply runs low and the cost of the current is reduced. Hot water also can be supplied the same way. • The cost of this system is still higher than that of a coal furnace, but it is cheaper than gas used for heating during the winter. \ Hall points out the housewife's cleaning bill will be greatly reduced by the electric furnace. All that this new furnace consists of is a well-insulated water tank and electric heating elements controlled by a thermostat. Coal bin, ash pit and chimney outlet are eliminated.

FOREIGN LANDS ASK AMERICANS TO LAY ROADS U, S. Firms Build Highways in Cuba, Argentina and Colombia. BOSTON, March I.—The fame of American highways is bringing foreign orders to American road builders. Cuba and Argentina, both in the midst of an extensive road building campaign, have called on engineers of This country to construct n\any of their highways. One of these is John Dearborn, president of Warren Brothers’ Company of Boston, international road contractors now engaged in constructing the longest highway in Cuba. The Cuban Central highway, as it is known, runs along the backbone of the island, a distance of 705

miles, and will link the capitals of all six of Cuba's provinces. The highway is to be paved its full length and will be about twenty feet wide*w:th five-foot shoulders. The cost of constructing this Cuban highway, it is estimated, will run close to $75,000,000. Dearborn's company will receive $53,000,000 of this amount for completing 500 miles of the road. Labor conditions present the most difficult problem an American engineer runs into in a foreign country, according to Dearborn. Dearborn is employing about 8,000 •laborers on the construction of the Cuban highway. Tucucan, in northern Argentina, also clamors for American broins in the construction of its, roads. An extensive program, calling for the reconstruction of the entire area of the city and all roads lead-
