WHAT DOES FARMER
 IN AMERICA REALLY NEED THE WORST?
Extension of Credits, Bonded Warehouses, Better Mar keting System Among
 Leading Questions
By RALPH BURTON

 Washington, August 27--What 10 the matter with farming in Americaf Why can't the farmer--or at least, why cant great many farmers make a living under present condi- tions? Why Is farm tenancy increas. Ing? And what can be done about it?
 These are the big questions with which the experts in the department of agriculture are wrestling today. Out of the six and one half million farmers in the United States, two and one half millions do not own the land from which they are produce ing crops, and eight southern states have more rented farms than all 40 others, Mortgages are becoming a heavier load; and though production is increasing, the charges upon pro- duction by reason of farm debt are growing too rapidly.
 Farm Credits
 Extension of farm credits, and tho establishment of federal bonded warehouses for farm produce, irn- provement in marketing systems and economies in production are all ap- parently necessary to put farming on its feet. The most encouraging de- velopment of general significance. pcIHdDS, IS Int DTeakIhk away OI lnS south from the one-crop system. Ths effect Is illustrated in reports to the department from Mississippi, which show that so to 90 per cent of tho cotton producers there owe money to banks, whereas comparatively few notes are held against dairy farmers. who are rapidly increas- ing in number.
 The department of agriculture, in any event is going to attack tho problem of agriculture depression From every possible angle, and even tually a consolidation of the offices of farm management and economies with the recently combined bureau of markets and bureau of crop es- timates is expected to result, in or der that the most effective utiliza- ton of resources may be made.
 What Do They Wants
 First of all. the department wants to help farmers decide what kind of enterprise or enterprises they want to undertake. That implies study of the size of the farm, it's produc- tive ability, its layout. its location and the cost of producing various crops in the neighborhood. Other factors, of course are the labor sup ply, tendencies of prices and market grades. By setting farmers right on the kinds of work they engage in. a great deal can be done, it is thought, to make agriculture more profitable.
 The cost of raising crops and marketing them, is another very irn- portant item, and elementary cost accounting will be made practicable for every farmer who wants to get a better idea of his income and out go The question of ownership and tenancy Is highly important, as are land values generally. Land settle ment and colonization will be made subjects of study by experts and it Is hoped that a wholesome system of land tenure can be worked out It is also desired to insure harmon ious relations among such groups as the farm workers. land owners and tenants.

 Wants to Publish Books
 Nineteen publishers have approach ed the new Adonis with proposals to publish any books he may write. Some of the already suggested titles are My Beauty Secrets How to Raise Eyebrows" and How to be Handsome Though Hefty."
 Eugene waon the beauty contest fairly despite the tricky tactics of some of his closest rivals For ex- ample, when the candidates passed before the jury of Paris queens, 1t seemed certain that first prize would go to a tall slim youth with blonde curls. 1t was discovered, however, by lifting up his flowing yellow whiskers that he had a very prom inent Adams apple, and that of course disqualified him. This dis covery served to cast suspicion on all the other bearded candidates and a prompt investigation showed that none of them wore a necktie.
 The jury of ladies were revolting at this, and as a result, a great con- troversy is raging in the press as to whether bearded men should wear cravats. There long has been the ory that the fashion of wearing a beard was nothing more or less than a cloak to cover up an effective mass of beating the high cost of haber- dashery
 Woman Don't Go
 Another comedy contestant was ruled out when he admitted he was woman. 4fN
 The competition has proved such a success that the authorities have de- termined to make 1t an annual event. NJ. Hoffman has announced that in DO circumstances will he be a candi- date for reelection which makes 1t anybody's race next year and prob- ably there will be largely increased entry list.
 The rules for the next year have been announced, some of which are:
 1. All males between the ages of Is and so, shall be eligible on pre- sentation or birth ce1t1ncate show ing age and sex.
 2. Married men must present let ter from their wife permitting them to participate.
 3. Jewelry. such as diamond scarf pins. pearl necklaces and ear rings shall be barred, likewise the jingling of. coins in one's pockets. or the os- -tentatious dropping of bank notes of large denominations in the eyes of the jury.
 {. The committee discourages the use of perfumes or the plucking of eyebrows.
 One married man, anxious to get in training at the earliest possible moment. applied yesterday to his wife for a permit under rule 2. The lady was seized with a violent laughing fit from which she has not yet re- covered Doctors are in attendance and the husband professes complete mystification as to what could have brought on the attacks of pernicious merriment.

In families where a cooked lunch

One never can have too many reel

it is wise to collect them wherever
good ones are found. Sometimes by
ordering unfamiliar dishes at a hotel

ideas may be discovered.
Fish Chops.
Skin, bone and fake enough cold
boiled fish to make two cupfuls.
Add to the fish a small cupful Of
crumbs. the juice Of an onion, a
tablespoon of soft butter, pepper,

to bind the mixture. Fish sauce may
be used If there IS any left over.

The Story of Jacke's Collar
By HOWARD r. CARS

One day. as Uncle Wiggily was
hopping along through the woods,
wondering If his pink nose was
twinkling just exactly right, all OF
sudden he heard a noise.
No, 1t wasn't a noise NAVE by the
Fuzzy Fox or the Woozie Wolf.
That's the time I played a little joke
on you! The noise Uncle Wiggily
heard was made by Jackie Bow Wow
the puppy dog boy.
Jackie was pushing his way
through the bushes. saying over and
over again
"Oh. wish had onei wish
could find one somewhere"
What is It you want. Jackie? ?"
asked Uncle wiggily. hopping out
from beneath a sassarras tree. Are
you looking for bone. or a piece
of puppy cake?"
Neither one, Uncle Wiggily."
Jackie answered. What 1 want is

"A dollar!" exclaimed the bunny

Wei, I want a collar" went on

pleasantly as he might. II saw a
rich dog from the city yesterday,
and he had on a dandy collar, all
shiny brass and everything, Uncle
Wiggily. I want collar like thatn'
The bunny rabbit gentleman
twinkled his pink nose sideways for
"a moment or two, and then he said:
Hum! SO you want a collar, do
you. Jackie? Well. perhaps 1 can
make you one!'
ooh. thank you!" barked the dog
sic boy.
But, mind you. it Will not be a

the bunny. THE best I can do will
be to make you a collar OF birch
bark. You may try that. and if you

"Oh. this is Just dandy" barked
Jackie, capering about ike a little

So Uncle Wiggily gnawed a piece
of bark off the birch tree and sewed

still it was pretty good for a rabbit
