Foreign Demand

The foreign outlook on the demand
side, seems slightly less favorable to
our farmers in 1923 than it was in
1922.
1.-THE only possibility for an import
ant increase in purchasing power
like in the ability of Europe to ex-
pand her manufactured exports. It is
Of the most vital interest to American
agriculture that the United States
lend aiG in every way possible to the
settlement of the reparation and 9TH
er European problems. Revival in
Europe has been much more marked
in agriculture than in manufactur-
ing.
1.-THE prospect with reference to the
supply Of farm products for the COM
ing year is that there will at least
be no reduction in outut in the Unit
ed States. With some overflow or
the business activity of the United
States to the rest Of the world par
ticularly the non-European part Of
the world, the prospect will rather be
that there will be some increase in
the production of foods In foreign
countries.
We cannot, therefore, confidently
offer any reason for the expectation
that our farmers will meet any less
severe competition in European mar
kets during the coming year than
they have met during the past year.
No Time for Pessimism
This is no time for pessimism.
That time was two years ago. 1t Is
true that there is greater general
prosperity now in the cities than on
the farms. The present prosperity
would probably be healthier and long
er lived If it included the farmer to a
little greater degree. But the cities
are not merely going through mo-
tions. They are working hard and are
producing. When men work and pro-
duce they acquire purchasing power.
Urban prosperity almost always
means an improved market for farm
products. 1t means that this year.
This is not much of time for ex-
pansion on the farms, generally
speaking. 1t is good time to sail
close to the wind-to be careful abom
expenditures, to try to grow at home
as much Of the family living as pos
sible.
But, everything considered, the ag-
ricultural outlook now is probably
the best it has been in three years.
The thing for man to do is to grow
what he can this summer and get II
to market in the best shape possible.

APPROACH ABSOLUTE ZERO
IN GOVERNMENT TESTS
Frozen Hydrogen and the Same
Element Liquefied Produced
in the Bureau of Standards.

A small quantity Of frozen hydrogen
and about two quarts Of the same ele
ment liQuefied were produced at tn
bureau Of standards. In q successful
test of liquefying apparatus conduct
ed by @. w. Kanolt.
This represented the result aftel
chilling many thousand cubic feet Of
the gas down to q point close to abso
Lutte zero.
Several experiments were made witt
the hydrogen ice and liquid later be
fore the Washington Philosophical SO
ciety, scientific organization. where
Mr.. Kanolt exhibited the product
The frozen hydrogen was described
as similar in appearance to snow
while the liquid was colorless.
Doctor Kanolt told his hearers that
q gallon Of liquefied hydrogen was
made in about two hours Mt the blu,
reau of standards. The experiments
there are on larger scale than has
ever been employed before.
In his talk he said:
1.-The method Ii rather simple In
principle but involves practical diff
culties which have interfered with its
extensive use. The purpose Of the
bureau Of standards has been first to
secure liquid hydrogen when desired
in very large quantities.
"The work at the bureau has been
facilitated by the development Of q
method Of analysis by which very
small quantities Of impurities can be
measured. After liquid has been OBJ
tanned, 1t Is comparatively easy to
freeze it by evaporating under re
duced pressure. The freezing point Of
the liquid is minus 260 degrees Cent?
grade, which is IA degrees above alb
solute Zero"
In order to liqufy the gas, tenn
perature of 253 degrees Centigrade-
about 42O degrees Fahrenheit-below
zero had to be attained. The hydro
gen ice began to form q few degrees
lower, at about 49O Fahrenheit below
zero.
All the low temperatures were pro-
duced by expanding the gas itself
after 1t had been compressed under
pressure of 5000 pounds a square
inch, chilled by application Of liquid
air and then allowed to expand
Production Of the liquid gases will
be continued as a part Of the bureaus
experimental work In studying be-
havior Of materials and metals at very
low temperatures.
Hydrogen has been HQuefied before
in the United States, but temperatures
lower than those induced In the proc
ess have only been reached hitherto
in Europe, where helium has been
successfully liquef1ed.
Absolute zero, represented by 273.1
degrees on the Centigrade scale and
BY 1895 degrees on the Fahrenheit,
has thus been very nearly approached,
according to the above dispatch. Alb
solute zero represents the temperature
where there Is an entire absence of
heat and has never been attained by

COOL MILLION IS SPENT
2 BY MESS BOY IN ONE DAY
Reinhardt Schmidt From Ger
many Has Glorious Time, Due
to Fast SIumping Mark.

Most every boy and girl In America
ut some time has sat down out be-
hind the barn or in the radesmena
entrance to the apartment house OF
somewhere and said: wish l had q
million dollars-Pd 60 to the show
and buy candy and"
Well, everyone knows how 1t goes
And over In Germany boys and
girls aren't much different down deep
in their hearts than they are in Amer
lea, perhaps
With this exception
Reinhardt Schmidt, aged fourteen,
Of Hamburg, Germany, captains mess
boy on the German steamer Hans
Hensoth, has had his wish come true.
When he was back In Germany he
did his wishing-only, of course, he
wished for marks instead Of dollars.
Then he came to San Francisco,
and out stepped fairy or something
and all Of a sudden young Reinhardt
found himself in the midst Of riches.
A newspaper reporter found Rein
hardt interesting. He told his editor.
And as a result, a girl reporter was
assigned to give Reinhardt one mem
orable day.
The lad was running around the
decks Of the big freighter which had
been his home for months, when the
mate stopped him and told him that
for the day he was to have shore
leave and be the guest Of the fair
lady, who awaited at the gang plank.
Bewfdered but anxious for just
one taste Of real fun, he eagerly &C
cepted. And the day started. Rein
hardt was to do as he pleased. And
the lady would foot the bill.
1t started with candy at the ferry
building.
Then a ride through the city in
luxurious sedan-the likes Of which
Reinhardt had never seen.
Then to store for pair Of good,
American shoes to replace the wooden
ones he wore. Then lunch at the

first fruit he had tasted for eight
months was served him in a fruit
cocktail; ox-tail soup, chicken pie,
apple pie with ice cream, and Quanti-
ties of milk.
II drink no alcohol" he announced
in German. But milk, at home 1t Is
SO expensive" He reveled in bottles
Of 1t.
Then a trip to the top Of the tall
est building in the city, and, next,
out to the beach to the roller-coast-
er, the merry-go-rOund and all the
other wonders.
Reinhardt was gaining his pOise and

A piece of papyrus just translated
by the British museum shows that
King Tut-Ankh-Amen suffered from in

certain hippopotami which made so
much noise as they wallowed in the

THE AGRICULTURAL SITUATION
A Brief Summary Of Economic Con.
ditiOns Issued Monthly by the Blu.
reau Of Agricultural Economics, AT
Washington, d. C.

Good Outlook for Domestic Market
AS spring advances, the important
elements in the situation come out
more clearly into the light. One DOM
inant factor is the remarkable wavc
Of business activity which is sweep
ing the urban community. The cities
are genuinely busy. The domestic
market for farm products has meas
urably improved
On the foreign demand side, how
ever, there seems to be general OPP
inion among skillful observers that
the outlook for our farm products Is
not quite as good this year as it was
last.
Labor is being drawn from tho
farms to urban centers. This will tend
to raise wages on farms, but the
movement is inevitable under the cir
cumstances. There is little evidence
of serious labor handicap as yet; the
pinch is more likely to come at har-
vest time.
The reports from farmers to this
department a month ago indicated
intentions to plant 10 per cent more
cotton, 2.6 per cent more corn, 10
per cent more tobacco, but 8 per cent
less potatoes, and 51A per cent less
spring wheat than last year. This IS
a good index to what producers
think Of this years outlook.
Nobody can say much on the pro-
duction side yet. In agriculture man
proposes but the weather disposes.
Spring planting is now from two to
three weeks behind. AS nearly as the
efforts of well-informed farmers can
be summed up, they seem to be in
the direction of more cotton, sheep,
possibly corn; but less wheat, hogs
and potatoes.
Regions at q Glance
THE EAST-Rather backward on
account of cool weather. Northern
dairymen apparently rather more op-
timistic than year ago. Fruit IN
blossom; potatoes up south Of the
middle Atlantic states.

in cotton acreage, but planting is
