AGENT COSTS Less THAN
HALF AGENT PER ACRE

The cost of the county agent serv:
ice to counties Of the state OF Min
'nesota amounts to less than one-hali
of a cent an acre on the basis OF Il
total acreage in farms, atcori',ng to
Frank E. Baimer, sat" leader OF
county agents. This, he explained, il
on the basis of data iobtalrc i'1in the
federal cansus of 1870 and the Min
nesota tax commissions report Of
1920 and ,take5>into consideration the
proportion of taxes paid by sowns or
rural property only. Asserting that
the gain from the service greatly cx-
ceeds the cost, he declares that the
cost per acre of LEA! land il: farms
for the total general taxes payable
in 1924 amounted to $1.32 an acls!
.One-half of. a. cent out of 1882 an
acre. doesn't add very materially 10
the cost Of government, he says.
County agents as we'll as others
connected with the work are glad to
have the value of the service ques-
toned, for it must be worth more
than its cost, else it is not worth
maintaining," Mr.. Balmer says. NAT
urally the record Of achievement in
each county must answer that qucs-
ton. -, For the state at large it can
be quickly proved that the gain, from
the service greatly exceeds. the cost"

SMALLER CARS BEING
+. USED FOR SPEEDWAYS
: tRy United FtAssJ

Indianapolis, March 4.-The cru
chile of racing has refined the engine
of. the modern motor car in the last
two decades and one example of thus
is the 5OO-mile races conducted by
s.iaAspo.i saatotb j. ~ ~.
The tenth annual international
sweepstakes race will be run on May
so. 1t will also be the last Of the 1855
cubic inch class contests. Next year
the race will be for cars with two
|litre engines, or 122 cubic inches,
smaller than anything now produced
in the factories in America.
When the first 500-milc race was
run the maximum engine size wal
oOO-cub inches. The next year tho
class was reduced to a maximum Of
46O cubic inches and three races have
been run for the $50, 500 and 1913
class, with this years event. The lii
dianapolis Speedway has been the
leader in the reduction Of the engine
sizes, both from a factor Of safety,
and also the resulting fuel economy,
from the long stroke, small bore CHI
CINE. It is noticeable that although
the engine size has been cut down
the speed averages have not material
ly suffered.
= Reduction of the engine sizes has
caused reduction in car weights. The
weight regulations forecast the entry
of several foreign cars with the small
engines in this years event.
: First to make entry for the May 80
event was Eddie ("Grandpa") Hearne
who has penchant for carrying the
No. in Indianapolis events. Hearne
onel of the four drivers now racing
who completed in the initial five-cen-
fury in 1911, will drive q Disteel-
Deusenberg, one Of the team managed
by Ray Harroun. Hearne and his
competitors in the coming event will
race for cash purse Of $50, 900 and
probably so to Is thousand in add
ed money. 49,.
