FARMING IN SO.
AFRICA INCREASES

CHICAGO, May 3O-Agriculture
is gradually replacing mining as the
premier occupation of natives of

gressive Farming here.
Statistics formerly showed 81 per
cent mining and 13 per cent agri-
culture, but have changed to min
ing 63 per cent and farming 80 per
cent, the Institute said. Some credit
for the growth of agriculture may
de attributed to American labor

active in the shipments up to this
time, with Accomac beginning to
move the crop as the season advances

large the farmers lost, the price be-
ing as low as $3.50 barrel in recent
