declared here today in an address be
fore the Chamber of Commerce of the
State Of New York. Germany today
can put a ton of. steel in England at
the price Of $40 a ton cheaper than
England can mi Ike it,, he said, and
is selling pneumatic tools in Detroit,
where formerly we shipped such ma
chinery to Germany, and sold it cheap
er than she could make it. The differ.
ence is solely . matter of labour costs.
Ii is estimated that 5000, 900 men are

contribute towards the buiidi lg Of a good
road, he said yes. AS regards the tax,
the intention is that hey shall remain
in force until the road is fully repaired,
and when that is done, the tax can be
modified. The member asked what the
cattle man is going ty pay; why, he is
paying his tax. He and | are. paying tax
just the same. 1t seems to me that this
is the easiest and best way and | don't
see any injustice in the matter.
lst Member for Christiansted Country
District (StGkemnnn) Mr.. Chairman. |.
propose that you follow the Rules Of
Business and put Section l of the amend
melt to the vote.
Section l Of Member Blackwood's
amendment was put to the vote.
z Members voted for; 5 against.
The Chairmon remarked: Section / Of
the amendment is lost.
The hartman then brought up 4th
Member for Frederiksted Country Dis
trict (tleming) amendment to Section /
OF the bill. The Member in introducing
his amendment said, -Mr. Chairman.
My reason for proposing this amendment
is, that when the Puoiic Works Officer
n the Road COmmisSiO meet they
would decide what kind Of road we are
to have. If the Public Works Officer
finds some parts of the road in good con
dition he can macadamize it. and if he
finds a soft part it could be concreted.
If we vote tor concrete alone. we would
not be able to use macadam | propose
that the bill go through SO that we may
have the roads put IN order.
End Member for FrederIksted Country
District (M. NJ. Skeoch) remarked: Mr..
Chairman. am in favor Of the amend
ment introduced by 4th Member for
Frederlksted Country District (Fleming),
and | also agree with his proposal that
the Public Works Officer and the Road
Commission meet so as to decide which
is the best road to build. The Council
do no. know what kind Of road to build;
there are many pro and con, therefore
we do not know how to vote on t te
matter. The honorable 9TH Member for
Frederiksted's Country District amend.

for it.

Tenancy on Farms.

A THOUGH farming still is advancing ITS lines
n into American agriculture, its rate Of advance IS
RAPIDLY diminishing Preliminary statistics of the 1920
census arc the basis for this opinion expressed by :he
United States Department Of Agriculture. While the
losses in the size of the farm tenant population in twenty
States amounted to $1,000 the gains in twenty
States totaed nearly 100000 Out OF 65ooOoo farm OPP
orators in 1920 100000 did not the land they tarmed
These tenants operated 3S per of the farms OF the
United States.
The outstanding States for farm tenants were Texas
and Georgia the former with 23238 and the latter with
2o6875 These together with six other Southern States,
contain tenant farms to the number of I232o42 In other
words eight Southern States have tenants than the
other forty States Probably 6ooooo between As and
20 Der cent Southern tenants will be CLASSIFIED as
colored by the 1920 census.
The census of for the first time, affordsa sepa-
rate classification OF known troopers In the
census reports thus far published finds data crop
per only as found the Southern States The
census has defined choppers share tenants whom the
landlord furnishes with work stock The number of crop
pers in Southern States is reported 56Too5 or Us per
cent of all farmers and 32 per cent OF all tenants IN those
States In the eight Southern States which contain over
half of our American tenan troopers averaged 1911 per
cent of all tenants In Mississippi the reaches 463
per cent On the basis of special Investigations made by
the Division of Land Economics of the Department of
Agriculture it appears probable that choppers were less
numerous in 1920 than in many previous years.

Kitchen Tasks Made Easy.

In planning a home or in rcmodeling an old
one it should always be borne in mind that the plac
ing of the stove, sink and work table be done in
such way to the housekeeper many steps
in the tasks of the kitchen say officials of the Depart
ment of Agriculture Time and energy will also be
saved if the shelves, cupboards and drawers To-
Gated the place where the supplies equipment
which they to contain to be used and they
will be convenient if they planned
that their contents may be easily and quickly removed
and replaced In selecting the equipment only that
which is most convenient and durable should be pur-
chased AS in any wellrcgulacd workshop. all equip
necessary for the convenience of the worker
should be supplied but that equipment should be in
stalled first of all which will be used often and
should be of such character and located that it
will result in the greatest saving of labor.

Botanical Society of Washington in stereopticon lee
ture by Prof j. F. Rock plant explorer for the United
States Department of Agriculture Prof Rock has just
returned from eleven months exploring trip through
remote regions Of Siam, Burma Assam and Bengal.
He was of the few white men ever to see Tarak-
togenos kurzi growing a remarkable circumstance
in the face of the fact that the oil from the seeds of
the tree has been priced a leprosy remedy for
hundreds of years. The explanation is that the trees
grow in the Businesses OF the jungle in regions in
tested by various wild animals and hitherto the seeds
have been brought out only by natives, who collect
them at specific times, hence the uncertainty as
to regular supply.
The principal immediate result OF Prof. Rocks
exploration the sending of enough OF the seeds
to the United States Department of Agriculture to
the establishment of considerable plantation
under American jurisdiction. The Hawaiian govern
ment has set apart of ground for the pur-
pose. The trees, while they attain great size and
age, into bearing. it is believed within eight
years after planting Of the seed.

feasibility of the forests producing the OIL however,
European people made any effort to study and
apply the remedy until 1856, and then the British
scientists who undertook the work distributed seeds
of entirely different tree, which have not the
curative properties, and it until 1899 that the
mistake discovered.
