The record follows:

The 1924 record shows automo-
bles to have led all other causes
of accidental death. Next in
number were death due to acct
.denetal injuries by falls. Other
high mortality were drownings,
179, and railroad Academies, 133
Individual carefulness by pre-
destrian and driver is the main
essential in decreasing automobile
deaths" the state board of health
comments. 1.-THE speed maniac
is not the only nor perhaps the
worst offender in causing deaths.
The fool who never recognizes the
rights of others but insists upon
stealing the other mans right of
way is just as much an enemy OF
public safety as the speeder or
intoxicated driver. Driving can
never be made safe until the par
ticular type is eliminated. Speed
cops could often profitably en-
ploy their time in experimenting
the violator of right of way rules.
There is another auto nuis-
ance, not so much an accident
hazard, but one who causese much
annoyance to the peace and pleas
ure of driving. That is the fell
low on the narrow road who is
mot going any place and doesn't
care when he gets there, VINO
clods along at snails pace and
refuses to turn out and give those
behind a chance to go on.
safety in auto driving depends
as much upon eliminating the
many nuisances who drive as up
on reducing speed.
Zone remedy is licensing the
driver and holding him to strict
accountability as to methods OF
driving"

Standards For
FarmCrops Adds
Million Income
(RY United Pnessl

Madison, Wis.-That the estab-
lishment of state standards for
farm crops and the selling of the
states various crops in the basis of
these quality standards has added
more than a million dollars year
to the income of tie state is the
statement of B. B. Jones, in charge
of Standardization and inspection
of the Department of Markets.
The establishment of grading
standards has acted as a great
stabilizer in the marketing of ag-
ricultural products and in adopting
this important phase Of modern
business efficiency agriculture has
only taken up something that man
ufacturing and general business
have practiced FOR years. Bef"re
the Department of Markets started
its activities practically all farm
crops were marketed on hit and
miss basis, but after five years of
work by the department, nearly all
of the important crops of the state
are being sold as a graded basis.
The system of operation of state
standards as devised by Jones has
been used as a model for the start
ing of similar work in other states
in their endeaYor to improve the
marketing of farm products.
State grades have been establish
ed on practically all crops and as
a result the consumer of such crops
as potatoes, apples, onions, cab
bage, cherries and honey have been
greatly benefited by being able to
buy state graded products of high
er quality than ever before. In
the case of honey, all containers
are marked showing the grade and
color so the consumer can know
what he is buying.
The latest Standardization pro-
ject of the department has been
that of hay. Jones recently con-
Quoted public hearings relating to
this project at Green Bay, Marsh
field and Rice Lake and plans are
now being made with the growers
and shippers of this crop.

TOELECTRIFY
FORD'S ROADS
Unique New Locomo-
tive to be Used in
Experiments

New York. - Henry Ford will
completely electrify his Detroit,
Toledo and Ironton railroad, it is
with equipment represen-
ting a radical dePs arturo. from the
general practice In railroad e1ectri-
fication. His locomotive will be
unusual in that it Will be actuated
from alternating current supply,
but will use direct current motors
and his trolley voltage of $4,000
will represent twice as much as any
previously used in this country.
Mr. Ford, it was said, is not look
ing at the identification of the road
simply from the standpoint of eco
nomical operation but regards it
as an experiment from which much
might be learned by the country's
major railroads. Removed from
the limitations that in almost all
other instances surround railroad
operation, he is in a sense trying it
out for their benefit, it is explain
ed.
Has Money for Prospect
The motor manufacturer has I'M
limited funds to expend upon the
project and his labor policy frees
him from all of the traditions
bound up in the history of steam
locomotive operation.

cardboard megaphone "a mailing
tube will answer) from the doorway
and hang a curtain or. sheet in it
that will completely obscure the
performer. Each member of the
group in this room is to perform
stunt. The rest of the party will
listen in" and judge the merits of
the performance. They will also
determine what station is broad

Stunts like the following can be
chosen, the performer talking or
singing into the megaphone-

Such at least are predictions of
Professor A. N Low whose book
"The Future" created furore in
scientific circles in England a few
weeks ago.
According to statements of Pro-
lessor Low it is but step from
what has already been accomplish
ed in causing patches Of rain to
fall by dropping electrically treat
ed sand through clouds, to treat
ing great cloud areas to similar
electrical charges through the use
of powerful radio instruments. He
says, that in fact radio stations al
ready in operation are unintention-
ally having an effect upon the
weather.
AT the same time that it will be
possible to make rain fall from
the clouds at will, it will also be
possible to stop its falling over any
given area. In this way rain can
be prevented from falling in one
area where it is not needed but
made to fall in. an area further on,
where it may be needed. When
this day comes, says Prof. Low,

Twenty five years ago, on Aug
ust 81, 1900, James Carroll an
English born assistant surgeon Of
the u S. Army, deliberately per-
mitted himself to be bitten by a
mosquito which had fed ON a
yellow patient. This was the rst
actual experiment on human vol
unteers in that brilliant series of
experiments by the Army Medical
Commission in Cuba, which led
to discovery of the cause OF the
tropic scourge and its elimination.
After a long and heroic fight
with death, Doctor CarrolPs life
was finally saved, and he lived UNI
til 1907 to receive special recog-
milton for his scientific services
from congress.

Together with his associates,
Capt. Walter Reed, DR.. Jesse w.

that yellow fever was transmit
ted by the bite of the Stegomyia
mosquito.

the most complete exhaustive, and
brilliant researches in the epidem-
iology of disease in the history OF

consin and other leading pork
producing state farms promises to.
be one of the most profitable in
ten years, according to the Blue
Valley Creamery Institute, which
states that hog producers of this
state have many reasons to ex-
pect that hog prices will continue
on a high level during the next
twelve to eighteen months.
In proof of these statements the
Institute offers the following ex-
PLANTATION: One the average, hogs
consume about 40 per cent OF the
corn crop, the average hog being
built chiefly out of about fifteen
to twenty bushels Of corn. The
close relation between corn and
nog production is therefore OBJ
yious. Hogs are considered profit
able when the farm price of hogs
per hundred pounds is sufficient
to pay for about eleven bushels of
corn. When corn is cheap and
hogs high priced the production
of hogs is stimulated, but excess
| i've receipts on the market strong
Ily tend to lower hog prices. Fat
! tening the increased number uses
up the supply of corn and raises
| it's price. With hogs going down
and corn going up it finally be-
comes more profitable to sell corn
as corn rather than in the form
of pork. Then, gradually, fewer
hogs are produced and hog prices
rise, while the larger amount of
corn sold depresses the price of
that grain until it becomes profit
able to go in for more hogs again.
A Falling of
For some years now there has
been a falling off of the pig crop
from preceding years. In the sum
mer of 1928 the corn-hog ratio
outlined above became SO unfaV-
orable that growers changed their
plans for the fall pig crop with
the result that the fall pig crop
showed a drop of 3.S per cent from
1922. The 1924 spring crop was
IL per cent less than that of 1928,
and the 1924 fall crop 23.4 per
cent less than the crop of the fall
of 1928. The 1926 spring crop
showed a reduction of 1915 per
cent under 1924. This drop in
hog PROHIBITION over two or three
years is being reflected in pres
ent market quotations which are
the highest they have been in
some years. Especially gratifying
are present conditions to the
growers who maintained or in
creased their herds during the
10 wprice period ~ 1928 and 1924,
for these are now reaping their
reward.
These facts indicate, says the
Institute, that the farmer who in
creases his breeding herd when
he sees his neighbors cutting
theirs unduly, and keeps fewer
sows when others are blindly ex-
panding theirs will have hogs for
sale when hogs are high. Likewise
his cribs will be well filled when
corn is dear. Thus he will not
only increase his farming profits
considerably but will also help to
smooth out the price curves for
other hog producers.
