HOOVER SPEAKS ATFARM PARLEY Urges Relaxation of Restraint of Trade Acts to Aid Agriculture. Asserting that he favored a relaxa tion of the restraint of trade acts af fecting agriculture. Secretary Hoover, in an address before the National Coun cil of Farmers’ Co-operative Marketing Association, today sketched a theoret ical agricultural policy. This stressed the three points— having the United States self-sup porting as to its food supply; the up-building of organization among farmers themselves, such as the co j operative movement, and the elimina ■ tion of waste, which, he said, affected | the farmer as well as every other : fraction of American life. “All of the alarm that has been expressed as to the combination of farmers to militate against the con sumer,” Mr. Hoover asserted, “is to my mind entirely unnecessary and not worthy of consideration." There needs to be a larger oppor ; tunity for agricultural co-operation | under the restraint of trade acts, he i asserted. He cited the work of the | department in standardizing cement, bolts and nuts, lumber and ware houses, as an aid to cheapening pro duction, distribution and consump tion. Assistance at this point is need ed by Government agencies, he de clared. Sees Terminals Needed. Terminal facilities have not kept pace with demanas, Mr. Hoover said, urging some type of organization at these points to assist producer and consumer. Declaring that he had h T ?. d a secondary part in the Capper- TT illiams bill, Mr. Hoover said that he cared not by what means the re sult was accomplished of aiding agri culture. He advocated an outside audit of co-operative organizations to strengthen them. Recommendation that the National Council of Farmers’ Co-Operative As sociations undertake development of a national system of education on the co-operative movement was made in an address prepared for today's ses sion- of the organization’s convention by Walton Peteet, its secretary. Edu cation and credits were the central topics for discussion today. Mr. Peteet urged an educational movement that would reach “down through national, state and local leaders to farmer members of co operatives and to the general public." He advocated appointment of a com mittee to consider the entire subject and report to the National Council at tomorrow's business session. Asserting that inefficient manage ment was often a result of failure of directors to understand the rudiments of sound business practice and in ability to pick real business execu tives for co-operative units, Mr. Peteet suggested as a remedy a “sys tem of self-education in co-operative marketing by and for American farmers.” Named Aides to President.

Mr. Slack said he'considers this a ‘‘good way to build up his teams.” Although the use of advertising may be new, the practice of giving scholar ships to athletes is general through out secondary schools all over the country. “We don't actually pay them any money,” Mr. Slack says, "and, besides, j they do a little work around the j school, like answering telephone and | , Waiting on the table.
