RADIO AMATEURS
PICK UP ADDRESS
GIVEN IN BAY STATE
Hear Roger b BIS on on
Prosperity by Wire
less Telephone.

Having turned their receiving APP
paratus to q a6o-meter wave length
and connected with station x Z,
local amateur wireless enthusiasts
Of the Washington Radio Club lis
tened in last night to talk by
Roger w. Babson- on the subject OF
The Return to Prosperity"
Mr.. Babson spoke from the wire
less telephone station at Medford
Hillside, Mass. and between $4,000
and $4,000 people heard his address.
Concerts and sermons have previ-
ously been given by wireless tele-
phone, but ibis was the first bust
ness address. Mr.. Babson's talk was
picked up by stations in all parts
OF the United States east OF the Mis-
sissippi River, Southern Canada and
at sea. The powerful sending sta
ton of the American Radio and
Research Corporation made this
possible.
Sees Turn for Better
Contradicting many business au-
thorities, Mr.. Babson declared that
the upward turn in business would
arrive in 1922, rather than in 1928
or 1924.
I'VE are following the cycle of
prosperity, decline, depression and
Improvement" he said. Following
the signing of the armistice, we
went on buying spree without the
accompanying production. Prices
scared and unsound manufacturing
increases developed. Early in 1920
came the inevitable Grassland every
body went on a buying strike. We
had our most drastic commodity
panic in history and business stag
mated. We have been almost two
years in the resulting depression"
Greater Market Needed.
Mr.. Babson then pointed out that
the causes were being removed and
the foundation for prosperity laid
He said imitation is being. wrung
from wholesale prices; that retail
prices are gradually coming down
and that wages are being cut to
meet the need for lower costs oil
production.
Business is larger today than in
1913" he said. The difficulty lies
in the greater market that must be
found to keep the enlarged plant:
busy"
He predicted keen competition for
markets during 1929. This compe.
tition, he said, would increase eff.
hciency, make more economical
production through Standardization
and lead to lower costs and lower
prices.

POOR RURAL SCHOOLS
HELP DEPLETE FARM


Poor rural schools are responsible
for a large part of the national drift
Of farm people to the cities and the
first step in making effective back
to the land" movement is to give
country teachers extra pay according
to the inconvenience and hardships
they undergo in their work. This is
the gist of a report made to the
American Federation of Teachers by
Field Secretary Josephine Colby in
Chicago recently.
"One Of the main reasons for the
desertion of farms by young and
forward looking married couples is
that country schools can not COM
pare, under existing conditions. with
city schools in giving children oppor-
tunity for development" she said
"a survey Of the situation shows that
even now when unemployment and
wage cuts are more prevalent in the
cities there has been no correspond
ing slump in the shift Of the rural
population to the urban centers.
Country and small towu schools con-
tinue to grow worse because their
trained teachers go to the larger
cities, where higher pay prevails and
because the teachers they secure are
far more poorly prepared than ever
before.
"Since the teacher shortage became
so acute the large cities have sur
passed the rural districts in raising
salaries with the result that they
have drawn practically all the COM
petent teachers away from the lit
tie red school house The average
salary of teachers in one-room rural
schools is less than $500 per year.
Tennessee, for instance, has an aver
age Of 1888 per teacher and IS states
rank below that. Pennsylvania re-
ports lack of 78 per cent in rural
and elementary teachers. This means
that country children suffer in COM
parison with city children.
"This wrong will not be righted
until the country districts offer ex-
fra compensation for the inconven-
fences their teachers must undergo.
What teacher will remain in the
rural districts boarding around,
walking tn school in country mud, en-
during rigorous weather, when the
can get better pay, higher cultural
environment and greater comforts in

INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW


Births, deaths and marriages dur
ing the year 1920 affect materially
income tax returns for that year.
Millions Of babies were added to
family circles, each Of whom brings
an exemption OF 5000 in the par
ents income tax return.
Widows and widowers who lost their
husbands or wives during the year
are especially affected. They are
single for the purposes of the income
tax law and are granted only an ex-
emption of $1,000 unless the head of
a family.
Persons who were divorced or
separated by mutual agreement dur
ing the year also must consider them
selves as single persons.
The status Of the taxpayer on De-
cember 81, 1920, determines the
amount of the exemptions. If on
that day the taxpayer was married
and living with wife or husband,
claim may be made for the $4,000
exemption. If single, or married and
not living with wife or husband on
December 81, the exemption is only
81 1000.
Persons who reached majority dur
ing the year and whose earnings for
that period amounted to $1,000 or
more, or $4,000 or more, according
to their marital status, must file a
return and pay tax on their net
income in excess Of those amounts,
TO avoid penalty, the return must
be in the hands Of the collector Of
internal revenue for the district in
which the taxpayer lives, or his
principal place Of business. on or be-

Strawberry Good Cash Crop in Ten

nessee.
Farmers who are looking for a
cash crop to add to their cropping
system should consider the straw
berry, says Charles A. Keffer, di-
rector Division Of Extension, Uni
versity of Tennessee.
Tennessee is one Of the largest
pkoducing states Of early straw
berries, and where it has become
well established in the farm opera
tions, as in the Humboldt and Day
ton districts, two Of the largest pro-
ducing sections of the state, the ex-
perience of the growers may be con-
sidered as a guide for future plant
ings. However, Director Keffer
states that there are districts in the
state where the strawberry has not
been so extensively grown but where
the adaptability of the region to the
crop has been fully established, and
in these regions there can be no
question as to the advisability of
Greater increased paintings,
The strawberry is ready for mar
ket in May, when few other sources
of money are available. 1t requires
about the same cultivation as corn or
cotton, and SO presents no new till
age problems. 1t can be harvested
by women and children and thus
presents special advantages to the
man of a large family. The original
cost is small, which is something in
its favor, esnecially to the poor man.
And it has become a standard crop,
for which selling facilities have been
worked out and the cash is soon in
the hands Of the grower.
One should remember that straw
berry requirements are Just about
the same as corn-the better the soil,
the bigger the crop. 1t is a mistake
to assume that Strawberries can be
GROWN profitablv on poor land II
takes land that will produce 10 bar
rels of corn per acre to make 9 GOOD
crop Of Strawberries say 100 crates
per acre. And in addition to fer
tile soil, the strawberry, like corn,
must have good cultivation to pro-
duce profitable croD. There is no
money in five barrels of corn per
acre; neither is there profit in 50
crates of strawberries per acre at
AVERAGE prices. So the farmer who
is PLANTING Strawberries for the first
tire should start right, Give it good
soil and good tillage.

Extension indicate that the straw
