We went Into the pawnshop Of the

demanded $35 in a hurry. "You must

The queerest case of sentiment was
the pawning some years ago Of three

more than $3.50, she was satisfied,
seeming to know that the money
given her had to be borrowed. and It's

During the recent hot season pedes-
TRANS in Jersey suburban town were
mystified each night about bedtime by
an unusual performance in residence
Every window in the house was dark
ened except one. A bright light of
round proportions was seen upon the
screen of this window; now at the
top; now at the bottom; now in the
center. moving rapidly as with a set
purpose.
The solution, as discovered, reveals
a new plan of warfare on mosquitoes.
The man of the house hit upon the
scheme Of putting a fashlight on the
screen to induce the mosquitoes to
alight upon the wire. They were then
finished with a swatter. Some nights
later the flashlight device was seen at
work in a dozen other houses on the
thoroughfare.-New York Sun.

PROSPECTS FOR
AGRICULTURE IN 1928

of Agricultural Conditions and
Prospects from Secretary Of Agri-
culture Wallace.
Twelve months ago most of the
six million farmers of the United
States starting on the long hard climb
out of the valley of economic depres
sion. They have not yet attained
the heights which are bathed in the
grateful sunshine of prosperity. Some
| indeed, have fallen by the way. Others
are still in the valley. Nevertheless,
as we stop bit and look backward
we can see that very considerable
ground has been gained by the great
majority, and we can enter the New
| Year with renewed hope and with
! that courage which comes from the
realization that we are really making
progress.
A year ago, when speaking of the
prospects for farming in 1922, said
that while there was no reason to
expect boom times for the farmer in
the near future, there was promise of
better times, both for the farmer and
for those whose business is largely
dependent upon him.. The year has
brought fulfillment of that promise.
Speaking generally, times are better,
much better, than year ago, both
agriculture and for industry.
Crops have been good, on the
whole. Prices of the major crops
are mostly considerably higher. While
there has been a corresponding adj
vance in the prices of the things the
farmer must buy, the total sum which
farmers will receive for the crops of
this year is greater by billion and
a half dollars or more than that which
they received for the crops of last
year. This will certainly mean bet
ter times on the farm, and farm folks
will be able to ease up little on the
grinding economy they were forced
to practice the preceding year
The labor cost of producing the
crops of 1922 was still further re-
duced. There were some substan-
tial reductions in freight rates. Much
helpful legislation has been enacted
this winter. Interest rates are lower
and the credit strain has been eased.
This has made it possible for many
farmers who were rather heavily IN
volved to refund their obligations and
get themselves in condition to win
There are still some dark spots. In
some sections weather conditions
were unfayorable and crops were
short, and farmers in these sections
are having a very hard time Of it.
Freight rates are still too high, espe-
cially for those who must pay for a
long haul to market.
Taxes are high, but this is largely
due to the increase in local taxes,
over which farmers themselves must
exercise control.
There has been gratifying growth |
in farmers cooperative marketing as
sociations, and more of them are be-
ing organized on sound business
basis.
Aside from the help which has been
given by legislation and by admins
tration activities, strong economic |
forces are at work to restore a more
normal relation between agriculture
and other industries.
The peril in the agricultural de-
is more keenly realized by
other groups than ever before, and
on every hand a sincere desire is be-
ing evidenced to do what can be done
safely to help the farmer better his
condition.
Everything considered, we have
good reason to expect still better
things for agriculture in the year
1928.
