Uncle Harry Talks
About Safety in Flying

1T seems TO me that II is still not
very safe TO travel IN an airplane or
any other kind of flying craft" said
Jimmy.
What makes you say that2"
asked Uncle Harry.
well, several days ago I read
about two aviators being killed in a
collision somewhere down in Texas,
1 think It was" continued Jimmy.
Then a short time before that five
people lost their lives flying between
Miami and the Bahama Islands. and
some time previous, you remember.
there was that big dlrigible airstip
disaster down at Newport News, in
Virginia. Recently there was the
London Paris collision"
Thousands Carried Safely
80 I suppose that proves that It
isn't safe to fly" replied Uncle Har-
ry. Very well, you have presented
your case-as the lawyers say-and
now I Will present mine"
MANY cases Of long-continued OPP
Grafton of passenger-carrying planes
without fatal accident can be cited.

pleted-wLich was the best show
ing; on the Paris-to-London route
Gao miles,, 10 per cent. were not

"Now these facts that I have just
read you" Uncle Harry continued
show. It seems TO me. quite conclu-
sively that flying today is remark
ably free from accidents. OF course
airplanes meet with accidents, but
so do steamships and trains. and
think how long these two modes OF
transportation have been in use.
I know within my own lifetime
how much railroad and steamship
travel has been improved in the
matter of safety. In the early days
OF the locomotive and steamship
there were many accidents, but eaci
mishap was studied and as a result
various safety devices were perfect
ed and put into operation.
when you consider that before

fecting airplanes las been done in

that flying has been made surprls-
ingly safe.
MAKE no mistake about It. the
airplane will be further perfected
and more generally used with each

Other high lights in the report
by the Department of Agriculture
show that although the crop was
the smallest in 20 years it ranked
as the fourth most valuable ever
grown. Not including Inter cotton
and cottonsecd which will total
many millions, the aggregate value
OF the crop will be 1,134,60S,356.
The crop was placed, in final es-
innate for the year, at 4,767 ,262 900
pounds of lint, equivalent to 1864
600 bales of 500 pounds gross
weight. Twenty-one and six tenths

MOVE FROM FARM
TO CITY BECOMES
MATTER OF ALARM
Unless Situation Checked
Dire Results Face
Nation

In the course of very interesting
address at the meeting of Seelcy
farme center Monday evening, Prof.
j. w. Gilmore, head Of the agrono-
my department of the University of
California, gave some interesting
statistics relative to the decrease
in the percentage of rural popula-
ton in the United States and the
corresponding increase in the per
cehtage of the urban population,
since the first government figures
relative to this subject were taken
| by the government in the census of
1870.
Dividing the population of the
country into five sections, agricul-
tural, professional, trades and trans
| portation, domestic and personal ser
vice and manufacturing and mechan-
| zeal arts, Mr.. Gilmore showed that
in 1870, the percentage of popula-
ton engaged in agriculture was ia
per cent, while those engaged in the
other industries, practically all of
which are conducted in cities,
amounted to 1916 per cent. Accord
ing to the census of 1920, the per
centage of those engaged in agri-
culture had fallen to 1876 per cent,
while those following other indus
tries had risen to 51.4 per cent.
Condition is Alarming
/ In Mr.. Gilmore s opinion, the con
dition is really alarming, if the
country is to continue self-sustain
ing, to say nothing of producing
enough foodstuffs for home con.
sumption and export. He believed
this condition is largely responsible
for the increased cost of living in
the cities in the past 20 pears, and
stated That unless the city popula
tion becomes awakened to the stu

of the country are bound to follow

supposedly better living condi

Farmer Nations Backbone
"The cities owe u great deal tc
the rural communities of the coun
try, y said Professor Gilmore, "an6
the pity of it is that they do not
concede it. Too often the city
people are inclined to scott anc
make fun of the rur;lite, forgetting
that after all he is the backbone OF
the nation and that without him and
his hard work, there would be nc
great cities or industrial ccntcrs'
In explaining the figures he USED
in his talk, Professor Gilmore cx
planned that they are based on gov
eminent figures which class all com
munitics with a population of $500
or over as urban communities, thos,
under that number being considered
as rural districts.
