FALL In VALUE OF
FARM PRODUCTS
RECORDS OF THE BUREAU OF
MARKETS INDICATE A DE-
CLINE OF 50 PER CENT.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-There is
no parallel in the records OF the bu-
reau of markets and crop estimates of
the fall of $2122, or SO per cent in the
average value per acre of the ten crops
constituting nine-tenths of all crop
production, which occurred in the two
years from 1919 to 1921, it was an
nounced today by the department OF
agriculture The decline was found by
the department to have been from
$35.74 in 1919 to $1452 in 1921.
The general trend of the average
was downward, the departments fig
ures show, from about $l4 per acre
in the-years Immediately following the
civil war to hardly IS in 1896 the low
est point in the industrial depression
of that time, it was said. The average
per acre advanced to 5000 in 1918
and reached the peak, $3574, in 1919
The fall in average, the department
said, after 1919 was more rapid than
the ascent at the beginning OF the
war, even more rapid than the ascent
when this country became belliger-
ent--if the average value per acre went
up like a rocket it came down like

LOS ANGELES, Cal.-David But
Ter has risen to the defense OF the
motion picture actors. His remarks
were prompted by a recent Associated
Press dispatch, dated New York and
quoting William Brandt, president OF
the Theatre Owners Chamber OF
Commerce, as saying that motion pict-
ure stars must reconcile themselves
to salary cuts to bring theatre business
back to normal.
There are hall a dozen stars who
are rich, a comparatively few com
pared to financial success which comes
to men in other walks OF life.
And don't overlook the fact that
actors salaries have been cut. | know
actors who formerly received $500 a

sounds large, 5000 | mean, but it must
BE remembered that all actor is not
continuously employed. The best OF

COMPOSING is ECONOMICAL
By Martin Calvin Georgia Department OF Agriculture

INQUIRIES have come to the depart
Iment OF agriculture for information in
the matter of making what are ire
quently termed compost heaps" Back
OF all those inquiries is desire to
practice throughout 1922 true econo-
inv in saving all the waste OF stable
and COW lot. This will be accomplish
ed by the process of composing all
such waste, supplemented with certain
icrtilizing elements and material.
The process of composing is very
simple, but the work must be method
Iically and carefully. done. If vacant
shed be at hand by all means utilize
THE space and especially the covering
ibv making the compost heap at that
point If the heap must be made IN
the open. then one should provide
tplanks or other suitable material to
construct a covering that will protect
against rainfall. If the covering be
neglected or be only a hallway de
vice better abandon the compost idea
altogether.
The first step is to put down a lay
er OF peat earth mold, or fine earth,
say six to twelve inches in depth
covering the space which you have
marked Ga given number OF feet long
and wide) for the heap. Follow with
laver of fresh stable manure OF
depth OF foundation. Over the manure
distribute freely 10 per cent acid phos-
iphate-say an inch to two inches IN
depth Follow with peat or wheat or
oat straw or other vegetation. Do not
use weeds. Why not? Because the
seed of weeds may live through the
composing period and be spread over
your fields. The proper thing to do
with weeds of every kind is to de-
stroy them. Cut them down-young
and old; eXtirpate them, that IS to say,
dig them up by the roots; then burn
them.
1t is very important that the manure
be moist-if dry or moderately dry,
sprinkle it with water judiciously-
not too much, not too little. Six or
eight weeks having elapsed have the
heap carefully forked over from top
to bottom. Have an eye to the condi-
ton OF the heap as to moisture. II
lacking, supply it. As soon as the work
OF forking over has been accomplish
ed rebuild the heap, and, if in the
open, cover carefully.
The moderate application OF water
and also protection against too much
water are two important factors in the
successful making OF a compost heap.

us are in the habit OF neglecting es

Peace came unexpectedly at the
close OF a four day hearing on peace
bonds, more than one hundred of the
clansmen having been summoned into
court, while fifty national guardsmen
were on duty in and around the court
house.
Judge Hiram Johnson, after placing
forty-six OF the men under bonds rang

ECONOMY PLANS
FOR GOvERNM ENT
A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM
IS OUTLINED AND PRESENT
ED PRESIDENT HARDING.

WASHINGTON, D. ca COM
prehensive program for reorganizing
the federal government to effect great
er economies and to eliminate dupli-
cations was presented to President
Harding tonight, by Walter +.
Brown, chairman OF the COMPRESSION
al Joint commission on reorganization
At present the plan, which is the
personal work OF Brown, is meeting
objections in the cabinet, which Pres
ident Harding has admitted might pre-
vent its prompt adoption.
Ten Departments.
1t was learned that under the pro-
gram the government will consist OF
ten departments as at present, but the
present army and navy departments
will be consolidated into a department
of defense and the new tenth depart
ment will be one OF education and wei
fare. The new department, ii finally
incorporated into the government, will
fill one of President Harding's cam
paign promises.
As has been stated by the United
Press. the new department OF defense
will be divided into three divisions
army, navy and national resources.
The latter will be similar to the Coun-
Gil OF national defense, established dur
ing the war. 1t will make compre-
hensive study OF the resources OF the
country and take steps to have them
ready for immediate mobilization III
case OF war.
The plan also includes proposal TOR
purchase and concentration OF all the
liquor stocks OF the country and Tor
disposition through the public health
service to legitimate channels. This IS
expected to make prohibition enforce
ment easier At present the liquor sup
p1y is in $40 warehouses, making its
guarding most difficult
Consolidation OF several bureaus OF
the government also is provided, as
is transfer of several agencies to va
rious departments.
Four Objections.
Four main objections have arisen in
the cabinet to the Brown plan. These
are:
/. Some cabinet members oppose
transfer OF the prohibition enforcement
bureau to the department OF justice
from the treasury department. Under
the plan the public health service
would control the liquor supply and
sell it for legitimate purposes, but the
actual enforcement would be in the
attorney generals department.
?. Another conflict is over whether
the foreign trade agencies OF the gov
eminent should be under the depart
ment of state or the department OF
commerce. At present this work is di-
vided between the two departments.
3. The department OF commerce
and the department OF agriculture are
in conflict as to which department
should have the bureau OF markets. At
present it is under the agricultural
department.
4. The department OF agriculture
and interior are at odds as to which
should have the bureau OF forestry. 1t
is now in agriculture
Alter President Harding and his
cabinet approve and modify the Brown
plans the proposals will be sent to the
congressional reorganization commit
tee, which after considering them will
frame a bill for congressional action.

lent buy just Mt present? Why is 1t sell !,
ing SO low? How secure is debenture
bond? am looking for good securities
with a good yield, but not speculative, cx-
cept probably in mild degree.--E. F.
Answer-New Haven debenture 6s
may be attractive for any one who Is
willing to sacrifice security in favor
of an abnormal yield, but from strict
ly investment standpoint they are not
desirable. A debenture bond is ordi-
narily not secured by pledge of prop
erty and must, therefore, depend for
its soundness on the earning power Of
the company. In this case, however,
the debenture 6s, although not orig
inally secured by mortgage of any
kind, have been given equal security
with the first and refunding mortgage.
The bonds are selling on such high
yield basis because of the element Of
doubt inherent in the New Haven's
position.
