FARMERSC0UNT
ON GOOD YEAR

Washington, June IAN army of
100000 farm hands now is mobilizing
in the middlewest grain belt to har-
vest the nations crop of wheat and
other grains. With prices rising, for
eign competition throttled down by
the high tariff barriers, wages near
pre-war level and crop forecasts by
the agricultural department larger than
last year, formers of the United
States count on good year. Tractors
by the thousands are moving west
ward on fiat cars to haul the gigantic
reapers which will garner the grain.
Bankers, fortified by the now gigantic
surplus reserves of the federal reserve
system, are preparing to loan cash to
the farmers for a quick turn over.
Farm labor is more plentiful than in
years, according to the agricultural
department. -
This summers harvest, it is hoped,
will let the farmers out of the muck
of extreme defation of their business,
which, according to Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace, has reduced the
farmers buying power by 80 per cent
The wheat for which the farmers now
receive an average Of $1.10 bushel
will go to higher levels during the
summer and fall, officials forecast. The
emergency tariff law is expected to
accomplish this. Other factors are:
Lowering of freight rates. The win
ter wheat crop will be 100000
bushels greater than that of 1920, ac-
cording to a forecast by the agricul-
tural department. g The crop at the
last report was forecast at 620,000,0OO
bushels.

waste pipe Is curved section so ar
ranged that water remains in it and
prevents the passage Of sewer gas into
the house. If the water left in the
trap Is not clean. decomposition may
take place and odors and gases may
come from the impurities In the water
itself. Precautions should be taken to
prevent oil and grease from going
down the waste pipe from the kitchen
sink. because being lighter than water
they tend to remain floating on the
surface Of the water in the trap.
Use Of Cleansing Mixtures.

hot, water Is necessary to clear out
the accumulated grease, lint, miscel-
laneous dirt, and bits of refuse. Wash
