Of FARMS RAPID
IN HALF CENTURY

Farming country around Sa-
lem 50 years ago was almost half
woodland, according to the orig
,ral assessors reports now on file
u the state library. These re-
rorts give statistics regarding
farming conditions in the three
rrecincts surrounding Salem in
Marion county.
IN the east Salem precinct, ac-
oording to the original report Of
lime l. 1870, taking reports from
40 farms, 1928 acres were i'm
nroyed land and 6179 acres in
wood land.
In the south Salem precinct,
there was, from reports on 40
farms, 5474 acres improved land
and 6540 acres in wood land, In
the north Salem precinct there
was not quite SO many acres in
woods as in other directions from
Salem, as the report gives, from
tbe 40 farms in the precinct,
1904 acres improved and 5972I
acres in wood land.
East Of Salem, farmers SO years
ago preferred winter wheat. Dur
ing the year 1870. the 40 farms
IN the east Salem precinct market
ed 1868 bushels Of winter whea.
and 1854 bushels of spring
wheat. Oats was, like today, a |
big crop in those days and the
east Salem farmers marketed 16,-
AL bushels in 1870.
In the south Salem precinct,
from the report of 40 farms, 49,
22O bushels of spring wheat were
sold in 1870, and only 1920 bush
els of winter wheat. Spring wheat
was also given the preference
north of Salem in 1870, as in the
north Salem precinct 23,744 bush
els Of spring wheat were grown
and only 7110 bushels of winter
wheat. In the north Salem pre-
oinct, 2O,34S bushels of oats were
in 1870, while in the
south Salem precinct, 1896
bushels we're grown on 40 farms.
The original 1870 reports from
10 farms east of Salem show 203
lOrses and 1913 mules owned. In I
he south Salem precinct, there
vas 174 horses and 1914 mules on
he 40 farms, and on the same
lumber of farms just north of
alem, there was 203 horses and

MOTOR TRANSPORTATION.

Trucks use the public highways and
their heavy traffic wears them out.
The maintenance cost OF state high
ways In New England rs said to have
advanced from 800 a mile to $1,000 a
mile since motor vehicles came into
general use. The truck Is not bear
ing its share OF the upkeep of the
public highways which II uses. 1t
therefore has an advantage over the
railroad. which must buy and main
tain its own right of way and pay
taxes in addition.
The public must decide whether !;
will continue 10 pay taxes for re-
building the roads which the motor
truck is principal factor in destroy
ing, or whether II viii make this new
method of transportation stand Its
proper share Of the cost CT the high
ways and thus place the competition
with railroads on a fairer basis. Then
both these methods Of transportation
would develop along sound economic
| lines.
The country needs both railroad and
motor truck transportation and 10 per.
| NIT one, by an unfair advantage, tC
check the growth of the other would
l be short sighted policy World's

POLITICAL .RxrERrs.r

Says the Springfield Republican
mournfully:
''Presidcnt Harding by an executive
order has exempted from the provi-
sions OF the civil service law the
deputy commissioners OF internal rev.
enuc. 1t Ia announced that the purpose
Ia to obtain greater efficiency and to
insure appointment OF experts. These
ends are desirable, OF course, but II is
precisely for the purpose OF securing
them that the civil service law was
created. II the investigation and tests
which II provides for are not sufl-
cicnt they ought to be made so.
Surely our good Massachusetts con-
temporary recognizes the exiEencio,
OF politics. OF course the reason for
making the exemption Is TO obtain
