OUR FARM poPU1AT1oN

The department of commerce ami
nounces that, according to the four
teenth decennial census, the farm
population of the United States on
January 1, 1920, was 31,614,269, OF
2e.9 per cent of the TOTAL population
of the country on that date. OF this
number. 31.S56.s4O were enumerated
in rural territory and 255.629 on
farms located within the limits of
cities and other incorporated places
having 2.5oO inhabitants or more. No
separate figures for political farmers
are given.
The total farm population of Kansas
as shown by the report is 1887 or
All per cent of the entire population
of the state. The number actually
residing in rural territory Is 7s5, 1854.
The census definition of a farm ex-
tends somewhat beyond the ordinary
meaning of the term in that it in
cludes any fruit or market garden.
poultry yard, dairy or apiary which
either yielded $3.50 worth of products
in 1919 or required for its operation
the continuous services of at least one
person during that year. The farm
population comprises both farm oper-
ators and farm Iaborers and their
families, including farm laborers and
their families not actually living on
farms but, not living in Incorporated
places.
The proportion which the farm
population formed of the total in the
individual states ranged from IL per
cent in Mississippi to rs per cent in
Rhode Island. In eleven states liv-
ing on farms constituted more than
half the total. On the other hand
in fifteen states the farm population
formed less than |one-fourth of the
total In general, the smallest proper
lions OF farm population are found in
the northeastern states-that il. the
states lying north Of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers and east of the Missis-
sippt-and in the Pacific coast states.
The percentages which the farm
population formed OF the entire rural
population OF the several states in
1870 also shows a wide range, from
zo.1 In New Jersey to SIS in Missis-
sippi. In sixteen states the farm pop-
uiation constituted less than half the
total rural population.
In actual numbers. the largest farm
population for any state. 2,27777s.
was reported for Texas. The smallest
1875. is shown for Rhode Island. in
which state the proportion which the
farm population formed OF the total.
20 per cent. is also the smallest shown
for any state. In fourteen states the
farm population in 1920 numbered
more than a million; but neither New
York nor Pennsylvania. which outrank

The only way that amy one of our
former employees may enter our SER
vice is as a new employs and the OPP
portunity to even thus enter the ser
vice is growing less day by day owing
to the fact that our forces are rapidly
increasing.
THE public will keep in mind the
fact that this strike Is not against
this railroad system. but that 1t is
against the decision of an agency OF
our government. Therefore the strike
simply resolves itself into-the question
whether the orderly process of law
and order shall prevail. or the arbi-
trary action of q very small majority,
TO that question there can be but
one answer: We are a law abiding
people and the orderly processes OF the
law shall prevail

has religiously at all times kept faith

and written word, and it always will"

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a
young married woman, nineteen years
of age and have a nine months old
baby girl. My husband and I could
not get along and at last he deserted
US. This happened eight months ago.
Now he is wanting us back and has
promised to do right. He says he is
not happy and~never will be without
us. 1 don't miss him much as have
boy friends call and go out with them.
Still I would like a home of my own.
My parents and many others won't
even listen when I speak of going
back. Just what would you advise?
He was mean to us and wouldn't
get us anything to eat or wear and
made US stay at home Do you think
he. is worthy Of US?
WONDERING.
Since your husband was so selfish
and you could not get along together
before. don't know What you would
have to look forward to if you went
back to him. He thinks he would do
the right thing, but as soon as he got
what he wanted he would probably
treat you in the same way.
OF course this is a matter which no
one should decide for you. Consider
the character of the young man and
draw your own conclusinso. Do you
think he could change SO much that
now he would be good proyider and
a comrade who would spend his spare
time with you and the baby, taking
you places when you wanted to go?
Unless love is your motive, do not
go back It is not enough to warrant
a reunion.

THE RECESS OF THE HOUSE

The New York Times calls attention
to the fact that two weeks have
elapsed since the house of represen-
tatives took a recess ito carry the
subsidy bill to the people" Three
hundred or more earnest statesmen
were, according to this theory, let
loose upon the public to convince each
voter OF the merits of the proposals
for building up great merchant ma
rine
We may be hard of hearing" says
the Times, but we have noticed no
popular agitation about the subsidy
bill; we have not even heard the
clarion voice of any congressman ex-
planning it to the public. 1t looks as
if the people had made up their minds
about the subsidy before their repre-
sentatiyes got back from Washing
ton"
But the senate, which remains in
Washington. seems to be hearing from
the country. A canvass of Republican
senators is said to reveal a majority
aeainst taking up the subsidy bill at
all this session.
Where, however. are those repre-
sentatives who were sent out two
weeks ago on an evangelistic cam
paign? So far as the eye and the
ear can determine. they are doing
nothing. Neither the tariff. the bonus.
nor the subsidy engages their eIo-
quence. If they are interested in any
thing. it is in fixing up their fences"
The best the senate could do would
be to follow the example of the lower
house and retire to await judgment
at the November election.
What will happen to advocates o.
a high tariff and a ship subsidy in
the primaries probably viii be mild
in comparison to what VIII happen
70 them in November. The tarlsfI
forces have been losing ground
steadily. Many of those who at first
were inclined to support the pending
are reported to have turned
against It. The senators would do
well to set up red lanterns about the
tariff, the bonus and the subsidy, then
go home.
