TRUCK CROPS TO THE
FRONT

I That the American diet is be,
coming more, and more diversified il.
indicated by the enormous increase
n the production of vegetables dur
ing the past three or four years
These crops, according to the United
States Department Of Agriculture had
| gross value of 313 million dollars
in 1924--an increase of 81 per cen;
over 1927 Over 100000 aires
Ire now devoted to the growing OF
such crops as tomatoes, early
potatoes, strawberries, cantaloupes,
green peas, onions, lettuce, celery,
cabbage asparagus, cucumbers, SNAP
beans, watermielons, sweet corn,
spinach, peppers, cauIifiower, car
rots, eggplant and a number Of
others.
Truck crops, grown for sale, are a
product Of an intensive agriculture.
They require much skilled labor,
careful attention during the grow
ing season and on most soils the use
of rather heavy applications OF COM
mercial fertilizer. In fact it does
not usually pay to put so much labor
into these crops without using plenty
of fertilizer to insure profta BILE
yields.

WALKS TWENTY-FIVE MILES
FOR A BUSHEL OF 4
CORN

Advertising men would have you
believe that there are many who
would walk mile for certain
brand of cigarettes, bit how many
would walk Is miles for bushel o..
conr I? Yet on many farms, &C
cording to Ray C. Miller, Farm Adj
visor of Adams County, Illinois, It
takes Is miles of travel to produce
a bushel Of corn.
ASK the average farmer If he
would walk Is miles for a dollar, "
says Mr.. Millers, sand he would
turn the proposition down in scorn:
but, as matter Of fact, when far
mer's corn yield is 80 bushels per
acre, he has to travel about Is
miles for each busnel OF corn
grown. 1t is estimated that in the
PROCESS Of preparation, planting,
cultivation and harvesting OF the
corn crop man walks or rides 75G
miles for each acre. One has TO
walk just as far whether or not the
yield is 80 bushels or so bushels
per acre. In the case of the g.
bushel yield, however, the mileage
per bushel of corn is reduced te
about IL Y miles instead of %.
The difference between a 80 and
. SO bushel corn crop is likely to be
in the, soil. Increasing soil fertility
and crop yields cut down production
costs. Thousands of farmers arc
demonstrating each year the prac
ticability of increasing yields by a
logical program of soil improve
ment- manure, legumes, lime an.'
fertilizers. The increased yield:
bring a reduction in labor costs ant
rreater net profits.

Land Once Held Barren
Helps to Feed World

The total land area of the world is
more than 52,000,O0O square miles, of
which less than 100000 are consid-
cred fertile, and half of the fertile
lands to be found in tropical and SUBJ
tropical regions. Every new fertilizer
or every new source Of known fer
tilizer adds to the Availability of the
temperate zone and it Is fact that
our mastery Of fertilizing agencies Is
capable of great commercial develop
ment through lines of management
laid down by applied chemistry, writes
isaiah Bowman in the New World.
A second source of arabic land is
found in the swamp lands capable Of
being drained. OF these there are in
the United States 100000 acres, but
two-thirds of this amount Is forested
and requires clearing, and much of
the rest is peat bog, which requires
a specialized farm practice. Qualify
ing conditions of similar sort affect
the swamp lands of the rest of the
world
A third source of food supply I'M
doubtedly will come from q limited
extension of both agriculture and
grazing, but particularly grazing, into
the vast tundras of the sub-Arctic. La
the case of the tundras, both of ST.
IBERIA and more especially Of North
America. we still are suffering from
the inhibitions of the past, when we
looked upon the sub-Arctic as useless.
The frozen north" has retreated
northward faster than our school
books have been revised. The grassy
tundras of northern Alaska, like those
of the so-called barren" grounds of
Canada, are capable of supporting mill
lions of reindeer and caribou.
In the southern hemisphere we
have no habitable lands from which
man has been excluded by sheer In
erth of opinion. South Africa, Aus
tralia and Patagonia have been crisis
crossed by the pioneer, and though
their lands are capable of higher de-
velopment, at least we know the lines
along which development will occur
and Is even now proceeding; and we
know also that their population in
crease will have relatively low limit
because of the unfayorable climatic
conditions.

FARMING BECOMING MORE
DIFFICULT

According to Director Sidney s..
Haskell, of the Massachusetts Ex-
pertinent Station, farming is becom-
ing more difficult, due to higher
market standards, soil fertility
problems, insect pests, plant and
animal diseases, and competition
with the factory which has brought
"a shorter working day. This in
creasing difficulty works to the al
vantage of the educated farmer.
The future of farming looks
bright. because of the increasing
population, because there are no
longer great area of untitled soil in
the west, and because the middle
west and south are now passing
through the same era of Industrial
ization which the east has already
had.
Each section of the country must
adapt itself more and more to that
type of agriculture that best fits its
market and transportation facilities,
its soil and its climatic conditions,
and in order to compete on the mar
ket at the price set by the large
producing areas, farmers must
reach certain standards of efficiency
per acre, per dollar and per man.
More and more attention must DE
given good seed, productive live
stock, economical use Of labor anG
to the application of proper fet;i-
lizers in sufficient quantity to give
the greatest profit.

SAVES MONEY FOR THE
FARMER

Costs for repair and replacement
of farm machinery made necessary
by rot and rust are only half of the
story. OF course, failure to paint
farm implements may bring depre
| citation up to as much as rs per cent
year, whereas, with proper pro
| lection and care, the machinery
would last indefinitely. This truth
is proven by the fact that ON many
farms there are binders, mowers,
threshing machines, grain drills,
wagons and other equipment that
have been, in use for thirty to fifty
years.
But even so, this is only half the
story-other losses may result that
are as great, or even greater, than
the cost of depreciation.
In the tiliage of the soil and the
harvesting of crops, many elements
must be taken into account; time is
probably the most important one.
Time depends in a measure on
weather conditions, but in greater
degree on the condition of the agrl-
cultural implements when the work
| is to be done Loss and delay may
be caused by failure of equipment
during plowmg, planting and Guilt
waiting. If tractor, mower or bin
der, due to rot or rust, breaks down
when a crop is ready for harvest, it
may tie up operations at the most
critical moment. While repairs ale
being made the grain may reach the
shattering stage or storms may
f1atten it. Machinery which Is kept
IN repair and properly painted will
not break down when most needed.
Good equipment IS one OF the
main factors in farming prosperity.
Farm implements and machinery be-
fore being stored away for any
length of time, should be cleaned
and painted. Paint will protect the
wooden parts from rot and the
iron parts from rust.
Further losses TO farmers are apt
to occur, due to dampness in barns,
corn cribs and other places used for
crop storage, unless these structures
are property painted. Hay, for in
stance, is bulky crop, but it must
be stored inside, because it is toe
valuable at $500 to $1,000 a ton TO
put up in racks. Water leaking
through the roof or sidewall OF the
barn where the hay 10 stored can
cause a great deal of damage. A
good coat Of paint ON all buildings
used for storing products OF the sol;
will protect and conserve them.

INTERMEDIATES YIN FROM THE EMERALDS
Jack Sadie Shoots Winning Basket In closing Seconds. Game Close
 From Start to Finish

Jack sade's basket in the last ten seconds of play decided the game between the Boys club Intermedi- ates and the Emeralds at the club last night, the club team thereby pulling out a 2S-22 victory. Whitey Anderson started things going with a field goal and Sadie followed with another. F. Morin got under way and dropped in a pair of double deckers for tie score, and Bloom- berg sent the Emeralds into the van with another. From the on the score see-sawed, but at the end of the first half the Intermediates were leading by 1S-14.
 The Emeralds started fast in the second half and soon evened the count. Then the two teams fought each other to standstill, neither being able to gain a lead of more than 8 point or two. With two min- utes left to play, and the Emeralds leading at 22-20 Referee Aronson detected Bloomberg in foul and Compagnone made good one of his free tries. Then with 10 seconds left and the game apparently lost, Szar- kus hooked pretty pass to the keen-eyed Sadie and the ball shot through the hoop, carrying victory with it.
 Sadie, Anderson, and Compagnone starred on the offense forthe Inter- mediates while Frost and Szarkus held their opponents to a single basket apeice. Boomberg and F. Morin were the high lights for the E,meralds. The score:

"Shep" Bingham has been dropped from Yale because he failed in four of his five studies. His passing from the university made it neces- sary that he resign as captain of the Yale football team of 1925.
 On the gridiron last fall Bingham won much fame and glory for Yale. His election to the captaincy was a tribute to his popularity. He was chairman of the Junior Prom, the big social event of the year in col lege circles. The time that Bing- ham gave to football and his Junior Prom duties undoubtedly played havoc with his studies. Classroom work must come first Bingham's efforts in other directions for Yale cannot be offered as an alibi for his failure in four studies. Inability to attain the required grades in his studies made it necessary that he be dropped from the college.

FIGHT ON SMUTTY PLAYS DEADLOCKED
Belasco Won't Withdraw His
 Unless Others Do Same

New York, Feb. 2l.-Compllca- tions have developed in Broaway's spicy play epidemic which District Attorney Joab Banton and numerous civilians are trying to stamp out.
 Producers of "Desire Under The Elms," the latest offering of Eugene O'Neill, have refused to consider Mir. Banton's instructions to remove the play by next Wednesday, and say they will invite prosecution.
 Win Not Withdraw
 After David Belasco, veteran pro- ducer, had promised to rewrite his two productions under fire, "The Harem" and Ladies of The Eve ning," and to present the expurgated versions next Tuesday, William A. Brady, whose "A Good Bad Wom- an" brought the first rain In the present storm of public disapproval and whose voluntary offer to with draw the play after tonights per- formances had apparently calmed the waters, stirred up fresh com motion by declaring that he would not withdraw the play while other producers were allowed to continue theirs.
 ', Won't Be The "Goat"
 CT do not propose to be a goat" Mir. Brady said. T started out to do something for the American theater; but if others are allowed by the au- thorities to present filthy plays. as a taxpayer, claim the same privilege. If the New York stage is to be made clean, I will go the limit to bring it about; but I will not submit to un- fairness"
 MT. Brady said he would rewrite "A Good Bad Woman" and continue its run next Monday.
 Mir. Banton would make no deals with the producers of "Desire Under The Elms," who offered to delete or to submit to the verdict of a play jury. He said that the show was too thoroughly indecent to pc puri- fled by blue pencil, and must be withdrawn.
 -Sot ASEtC
 we do not intend to accede to any peremptory demand to remove the play by "Wednesday" Kenneth MacGowan, for the producers of "Desire Under TheElms," said. "We do not think the play immoral and are gathering many opinions from eminent persons who consider it a fine, strong work"
 In pursuance with their plan of appealing to public approval the producers of Desire Under The Elms," arranged for a special per- formance at Il o'clock today to which 1000 executives and teachers in schools and colleges have been in- vited.
 Meanwhile, the proponents of the play jury idea are moving to get it in operation in time to prevent serious casualties by court action. Owen Davis, originator of the plan, spoke to a meeting of representa- tives of all branches of the thea trical profession and of numerous societies yesterday.
 Must Give Dirty Plays
 'The situation today" said Mr. Davis, "is that dirty plays are fore ing authors either to compete with them or work for their suppression"
 MT. Banton conferred with Police Commissioner Enright yesterday to devise method of getting the play jury into action. The dictrict attor- ney told representatives of Desire Under The Elms," when they re- quested an appeal to the play jury, that the system was not yet operat- ing.
