Farming Drive Is Urged.
Is Only Solution To Decline In
Production, Says Expert.

A system of intensive farming that
will enable the United States COM
fortably to support population OF
one billion is the answer to the de-
cline in production of foodstuffs fac
ing the country because of the exodus
of the younger generation from the
farm to the city.
This is the solution offered by spe-
cialists of the Department OF Agrl-
culture, after long and careful study
of farm conditions throughout the
country. In regions where intensive
farming has been taken up under the
guidance of experts the farm situa-
ton is better, authorities declare.
The department has gone at the
farm problem from wide range per-
spective. 1t has dealt with it not on
ly from the point of view of produc-
ton but from the standpoint Of life
on the farms.
The latter has improved by devel-
opments made under natural condi-
tons of private enterprise, authorl-
ties are discovering, until it has Kept
pace with Improvements in crops
made possible by the researches and
experiments of the Department OF
State agencies.
The four secrets of prosperous coun-
try life are intensive farming, good
roads, the explosive engine and cleo
tricity, according to experts. All OF
them have come together in the West.
According to the agricultural au.
thoritirs ut Washington, the explos-
i've gas engine is transforming the
farming industry by enabling any
farmer to pump water and perform
other tasks with power and by driv-
ing his automobile to the nearest city.
The automobile is held to be an es-
sential 10 the modern farm because il

How Diphtheria is Contracted.

that the cold had simply left the little

GIRLSDODGING
QUERYOF AGE
Census Men Work Overtime
10 Catch Up on De-
layed Returns.

In order to speed I'D the final
work Of taking the fourteenth de.
cennial census in the District. and
also to catch the elusive war worker
who doesn't want to tell her age AT
home. census enumerators worked
yesterday. although it'was Sunday
and will work nights during the
coming week.
Thfs announcement was made last
night by Robert f. Mattingly, super-
visor for the District, who stated
thar, although several factors had
operated to delay the work of TAX.
ing the census in Washington. the
chief reason appeared to be the dis.
inclination of girl employees of the
government to answer the questions
as to their ages.
other delays have been caused Nv
failure OF the Government Printin9
once to deliver the Individual cen.
sus slips in sufficient quantities when
the work first started, and bad
weather. MattingIy says.
The girls especially are censured
by Supervisor MattIngly for failure
to answer the questions on the indi-
Yidual slips which are left at their
homes when the girls are absent
during the day. Many of the girls
when caught at home by the enum-
orators. ether hide or display tenn
per when asked to tell their ages
and walk out of the room,
The ages of the girls will never

think so: and as a result the census
