Farm Acreage.

The comparatively small gain during
| the past decade in the acreage Of inn
proved farm land in the United States,
as shown by the census bureaus report
just made public, is to be accounted
for partly by the World war. A SINH
lar decline in the rate of growth oc-
cured betw,\a 1850 to 1870, the dsc-
AIDE Of the Civil war. Since 1880, how
ever, when the record for the decade
showed an increase Of 50.7 per cent. in
acreage, there has been steady decline
in rate--to $50 in 1890, 20 1919 in 1900,
to 1874 in 1910 and TO 81 in 1920.
The sharp decline in growth for the
whole country in the past decade is in
marked contrast with gains In the far
west. The census tables at hand give
only total and per capita acreage
North Dakota advanced in the latter
column from 1874 acres TO IS; South
Dakota (which in 1910 showed de-
clinel from 27.l to 2S.6, Montana from
OF to'201. Decline, both in iftal and
per capita acreage took plac6 in all the
New England states except Vermont, in
the three middle Atlantic states, in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, in FIVE
the nine South Atlantic states. The
three Pacific coast states all show a
falling off In per capita acreage. though
the total acreage Of all three increased
somewhat.
While the effect Of the war was TO
draw men from the farms to the in
dustrial centers of the Northeast and
relatively to encourage production on
the farms of the west, il is apparent
that the normal tendency continues
toward reduced acreage in the older
settled regions Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island. which were lowest in per
capita acreage in 1910. each with three
tenths OF an acre to an inhabitant were
again lowest in 1920. each with only
two tenths of an acre.
Value of product in eastern farms
doubtless would tell a somewhat diff
ferent story. Connecticut. which shows
a decline IN total acreage from

Postmaster Generals Letter to
Representative Brings Debate
in the House.

Ascribing the recent increase in
mail robberies to general unrest and
intensified criminal tendencies, Post
rmaster General Burleson in a letter
Tread in the House last night declared
enactment of laws unsupported by
ipublic opinion provoked breaches of
the peace and contempt for the courts
The letter was addressed to and
read by Representative Black, demo-
icrat, Texas. and denounced as an i'm
portant factor in the development of
crime "the disposition on the part of
certain judicial officers, notably in New
York. Washington and Chicago. to i'm
pose nominal punshments when crimi-
nails are apprehended.'
Reading of the letter raised a storm
of objections. several members in
terupting Representative Black with
objections to it's entrance into the
House record. Representative Goody-
koontZ, republican, West Virginia, a
member of the judiciary committee,
objected most strenuously.
Il want to expunge that letter from
the record" he declared. I'VE have
no time to listen to such rot as that"
The letter went into the record,
however.
The Postmaster General declared
criminals were encouraged by the
"mendacious and fallacious policy pur-
sued by commercialiZed press.
The power of suggestion. as out
lined BY newspaper accounts of
crimes, encouraged others to break
the law he said.
Such newspapers" he added. "Have
