STATISTICIANS MEASURE CROPS
FROM TRAIN WITH
yROP.METEF

A device for measuring the acre
age of various agricultural crops for
comparative reports and charts has
been successfully adapted to rail-
road train by statisticians of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The instrument is in the
nature of an automobile speed
ometer and when attached to the
gear of the railway car measures
and records the number of feet of
each kind of crop along the right of
way. 1t was designed in 1928 for
use ON an automobile and was first
used successfully in that capacity.
The instrument, besides having a
regular mileage meter, such as than
on an ordinary speedometer, has IL
special dials--one for each kind of
,crop-with set of push buttons
which throws them into gear when
needed. For instance, when, dur
ing the train journey, field of cot
ton is being passed the button in
dicating cotton is pressed and the
number OF feet of cotton along the
road In that particular field is
measured and recorded. If the next
field is corn, the operator presses
the corn button, and the number
of feet in that field are measured
and recorded. If the next field
should happen to be idle land, the
idle-land button is pushed.
The first railway crop-meter meas
urements were made recently by
department statistician who made
279-mile trip on a Georgia railway
line. The data thus collected can be
used to compare the percentage of
one crop one year with the same
crop in other years by repeating the
trip over the same route.

NOT YET BACK NUMBERS

On a general showing of facts as
they are leaking out in many cities,
it doesn't look as If the street car
are a back number.
Questionnaires have been sent out
in a number of cities like Philadel-
phia, Buffalo, Baltimore, Boston and
Washington, showing that quite the
contrary is the case.
Reliable statistics show that 80 to
SIS per cent of all the people who
live in the larger cities use street
cars regularly.
Inquiries in 81 principal cities,
over $4,000 busy people taking the
trouble to report, show that 80 per
cent of motor car users ride on tho
street cars regularly.
In the large cities named. 10 per
cent of the owners of high class
automobiles used street cars on ar
average of 2S times month.

NEARLY $4,000 FOREST FIRES
SWEPT COUNTRY DUR
ING 1924

Nearly $4,000 forest fires swept
29,OOO,OOO acres of public and pri-
vate lands during the calendar year
1924 according to report just
compiled by the Forest Service,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The actual money damage
was $3S,OOO,0OO exclusive of dam
age to young growth, watershed
protection, wild life, and recreational
facilities.
The figures, say forestry officials,
clearly reflect the bad forest fire
conditions which prevailed last year,
especially in many Southern States
and in California. Compared with
the calendar year 1928, the 1924
figures represent an increase of a.
600 fires, and compared with the
9-year average an increase of 49,
600 fires, or nearly 100 per cent.
In acreage swept by the flames the
1924 figures are only slightly larger
than those of 1928, but are almost
|
senting the 9-year average.
Money damage in 1924, estimated
at $4,000, 900, is $10,00O,0O0 above
the 1928 estimate, and $18,00O,OOO
higher than the 9-year average OF
$40, 100000. Damage to young
growth. watershed protection, wild
life. and recreational facilities, and
losses to the lumber industry, in
Guiding wages and other economic
values, are not included.
William B. Greeley, Chief OF the
Forest Service, states that the
material. increase in the number OF
forest fires reported during 1924
partly the result of more complete
reports. although 1924 was a very
bad year in many sections of the
country.
An analysis of the 1924 statistics
shows that incendiary fires top the
list with $1,000, or abont % pei
cent of the total. Brush burning
comes next with 10000 fires, or Is
per cent, and fires caused by
smokers is third with $4,000, OF
about IA per cent. other CHIEF
causes of forest fires in 1924 were
railroads, camp fires, numbering, ant
lightning. Lightning is considered
the only natural cause of fores
fires. Only 6 per cent of the 1922
fires were started by lightning.
"The greatest single agency will
which to combat forest fires,' sait
Colonel Greeley, 'is public opinion

COOLIDGE STARTS FIGHT FOR
WORLD COURT

at became known in official
circles today that President Cool
idge feels more confident than at
any previous time of the adoption
by the Senate of the World Court
protocol, says the New York Times
of August IA in front page des-
protocol" says the Nesw York
patched from Swmpscott.
president Coolidge is going to
call for affirmative action on the
World Court in no uncertain terms,
according to those who have dis
cussed the subject with him in the
last ten days.
Though the President was
thought to be lukewarm in his sup
port of the World Court some
months ago, that is not his attitude
now. He has become an aggressive
advocate of the Court with reserva-
tions protecting American interests
and freeing the United States from
any obligations to the League OF
Nations. Another reservations which
he wants is statute defining what
the Court can do with respect to
advisory opinions.
President Coolidge is letting the
Republican Senators know of the
platform declaration of 1924 on the
World Court and they know that
Mr.. Coolidge is stickler for carry
ing out his pledges to the people"
1t is matter of common knowl-
edge the President Coolidge wrote
just one plank of the Republican
platform of 1924,-the World Court
plank. 1t was adopted without OBJ
lection by the Platform Committee
and by the Convention, The plank
is as follows:
The Republican Party reafirms
its stand for agreement among the
nations to prevent war and preserve
peace. AS an immediate step in
this direction we endorse the Per-
manent Court of International JUS
tice of favor the adherence of the
United States to this tribunal as
recommended by President Coolidge.
That the President should now
fight for fulfilment of this pledge by
the adoption on the part of the
Senate of the one measure, advocacy
of which runs like a golden thread
through his speeches for two years.
is not surprising If President
Coolidge is committed to any meas
ure and if he has committed Nthe
Republican Party to any policy, it
is that America adhere to the
World Court and on practical
basis.

INCREASED EFFICIENCY Off
SETS INCREASED EXPENSE


BY the use of gas and electricity,
railroads are reducing cost of re-
paris and increasing efficiency in
freight yards.
A number of railroads over the
country are using gas, turned into

blow torches. 1t has been found
possible, by using gas, to salvage
much rolling stock and other
material which had formerly been
scrapped.

ROAD OVER SALT DESERT
SHOWN IN NEW MOVIE

The story of the building of a
modern highway across the Great
Salt Desert in western Utah, an epic
in American road construction his
tory, is pictured in vivid detail in
the new United States Department
of Agriculture educational film,
Crossing the Great Salt Desert.
The Great Salt Desert is 3
remnant from the geological period
which ended with the drainage of
prehistoric Lake Bonneville, and its
brine-saturated mud fiats-too soft
to support vehicles-once the de-
spair of early overland travellers
many of whom persisted on its
wastes. Ten years ago an attempt
was made to span this desolate area
hut the road built was so narrow
that many vehicles In passing were
forced off into the soft mud. A
night on the desert with attending
hardships sometimes followed. The
salt brine which covered this road
during rainv seasons was injurious
to automobiles and caused much
damage.
In locating the new Federal-aid
highway between Salt Lake City
and Sacramento, an important link
in the transcontinental highway
system. the route of the forty
miner" across the Salt Desert was
chosen and work was begun to
build an up-to-date road from
Knobs to Wendover. Utah 40
mile stretch. Numerous types of
trenching machinery were employed.
The brine-soaked mud was thrown
up in winrows. dried, and worked
over to make a base for the road.
The character of the mud made the
use of horses impracticable on many
sections. and special machinery was
devised to do the work.
One of the unusual features OF
the road is the crossing of an
island" of solid salt 6 miles wide.
Here the salt crystal averages a
depth of Sh feet. In order to OBJ

ELEVEN STATES ESTABLISH
TUBERCULOSIS-FREE
COUNTIES

During the period January to
June 80, 1925, eleven States either
established their first countrywide

increased the number of such areas
previously established. This note
worthy progress in six months

by the Bureau of Animal Industry,

The States which established one
or more areas, recognized by the de-
partment as free from the disease
were as follows: States establishing
their first tuberculosis-free. areas
were California, Minnesota, Ne
braska, Oregon and Utah. States
increasing the number already recog-
nized as free were Indiana, Iowa.

A Good News Story.

The following story comes from
Constantinople, and The Herald
cannot vouch for its truthfulness.
However as it may be true:
Faro Agha, 149 years of age,
probably the worlds oldest man, is
quite piqued at his boy, SO, because
the youngster complains of being
too old to earn his own living.
Faro himself has a new job as
member of the staff of guards at
one of the imperial palaces, and he
thinks that if he can work there's
no good reason why the rest of the
family shouldn't too.
This son of mine gives me a
pain" said FARO in the Turkish
equivalent of the American slang
when interviewed on his own new
job. Il don't see why l should
have to support him; he ought to
be able to work when he's only SO"
FARO has been married II times
and took his last wife only couple
of years ago. He does not believe
in picking his brides too old, so for
his last venture selected one of 25
years.
He claims to have official records
to show that he was born in 1776-
the time wher the American col
onies declared their independence.
He is still healthy though he re-
marked after a recent trip to Italy
that his stomach was bit disor-
dered by too much spaghetti" >
