CY Adams SAYS:

When county extension workers
measure and weigh 81 rural boys and
girls and find only two normal boys
in one school, and three normal boys
out Of GO boys and girls in another
something's wrong, somewhere. That's
what happened when Miss Opal Estes
and Dewey Thomason recently visited
the Red Springs and Vandiver schools
in Clark county. It's time the Ameri-
can farmer gave more attention to
rearing normal children.
Growth is not always matter Of
increased physical size.
Most everyone gets over his fail
ures, but few withstand success.
Farmers are getting more space in
political reports these days than Red
Grange was given in the sporting
columns during the football season.
Perhaps they are beginning to make
themselves felt.
Arkansas produces about one-ffth of
the beef required for home use, about
one-tenth of the mutton, and about
three-fourths of the pork.
Farm programs are broadcast from
KUOA, University of Arkansas every
Monday night. They are as free as
the air you breath and listen in on.
Have YOU ever heard the slogan
To Make the Best Better. 1t is the
ideal set by every All club worker in
America.

business. Taking these things into
consideration, it is a good guess that
there were $4,000 wishing cars in
the state during the week.
By taking the ibotal of the coun.s
made at % stations on trunk high
ways which end lat the state line, We
find that an average of 1888 fer
eign cars per day entered or left the
state each day. Assuming that halt
of these were coming in Iamd half go
ing out, we find that 27,643 fer
eeign cars entered the state during
the week. This takes no count OF
cars from other states entering Oh
county roads, but many of these We're
probably on local business, while the
majority of tourists came in on the
trunk highways.
The highest count of foreign GERS
was on No. 2 east of Moorhead, l.
277 per day. The next highest count
was 1866, between Lacrosse and
LaCrescent on No. 8. The third high
est at q point of entry was S19, on
No. IL, west of Hudson, although No
80, south of Detroit, had higher num-
Der, 848 per diary.
The number of foreign cars at the
average station has increased from So
in 1921, when the first traffic census
was taken, to lat this yer, an increase
of 149 per cent in five Years.

One should not conclude from
this that There were a quarter of a

Highway department points out. Al
most every visitor drove past several

Butter Production Much
Heavier Than Year Ago
Heavy Movement of Live Poultry
Fines Decline in Market; Eggs
Withdrawn from Storage

Butter production in the producing
sections continues on a favorable
basis and the increase may be said
to be approximately IL per cent over
year ago. This condition is reflect
ed in the actual arrivals of butter at
Chicago, New York, Boston, and
Philadelphia, as the receipts last
week, Monday to Friday inclusive,
were more than half a million pounds
greater than the corresponding num-
Der of days last year.
Butter prices have moved within a
very narrow range, there being prac-
tically no change at either Chicago or
New York on so score Extras, but 80
score Standards ait Chicago are n
cent lower than on September 20.
AS there is a larger total stock of
butter in storage than last year, it is
necessary that this, stock be used pro-
portionately and fairly satisfactory
Withdrawals are being made.
Fresh eggs are just a little more
plentiful, not because the production
is really any heavier, but rather due
to heavy withdrawals from storage,
nevertheless the outlook appears IA
vorable for continued good demand
that will absorb arrivals promptly.
Live poultry movements has been
rather heavy during the past week
and market conditions are not entire
" satisfactory The Producers Price
Current, published in New York, in
issue of September 25, states:
"We have had fairly satisfactory
market for fowls and miserable
market for chickens, due to the rela-
tive proportions in the cars which
have averaged about rs per cent
chickens.
The selling conditions have brought
about somewhat lower range of val
ues on live poultry throughout pro-
ducing sectins. - Prduce Review,

Scientists Inquisitive,
So Bore Volcano Crater

Honolulu Scientists who desire to
know more about volcanoes and espe-
cially about the Kilauea volcano on
the island of Hawaii, are boring net
work Of holes around the vast crater.
The holes are being bored with COM
pressed-air drills, and are ten feet
deep. There will be one every LOCO
feet.
DR.. Thomas A. Jaeger, in charge OF
the Kilauea volcano observatory, who
is directing the work, expects to learn
something about subterranean heat In
Its relation to volcanic activity.
The holes will be encased around
the top and capped so that tempera-
turs tests may be made at any time.
It Is thought that rise In tempera-
ture in the holes may presage an erup-
ton and thus serve as log OF the life
Of the volcano.
Experimental holes previously
drilled disclosed wide variation In
temperature, seemingly without refer
ence to the proximity Of Halemaumau
volcano. This convinced scientists
that systematic temperature OBSERVE
lions would be valuable.

''B" Cars Go 3,047 Miles On
State Trunk Roads in Year

erage; Both Glasses Save Through
Gas. License Tax

line average D pdSSeIISeT Cal ID
travelling 3,O47 miles on Minnesota s
trunk highways and the average class
ga" car is using them for a total of
1859 miles. Automobile owners in
| Stearns county who have kept a
record of their trips can figure out
whether they travelled more or less
than the average driver.
The average is figured from the
traffic census taken recently by the
State Highway department. The CEN
sus showed 453 'tB" license cars and
246 "a" cars passing the average sta
ton per day. There were 281, 1892
class "B" and 25O,742 class "a" cars
registered on Sept. 1. In estimating
the distance travelled by each car it
is assumed that the average year
around use of the roads is rs per cent
of the August travel. This is believ-
ed to be conservative, because all
year use of machines is becoming
general and alt the count taken in
January many roads showed a traffic
equal to half of the August traffic.
Multiplying the number of cars on
the average highway, by the number
of miles in the trunk highway system,
and multiplying this by the number
of days THE average car travels, the
above figures are obtained.
Combining the totals for the two
CLASSES and using the same method
of calculation, we find THAT the aver
age Minnesota passenger car travels
2,425 miles per year on the trunk
highways.
With the present large registration
in Minnesota, it is believed THAT many
families have two cars, using the
larger for long distance trips and
the smaller for local driving. Owners
of large cars are also likely ito make
their trips longer, it is believed. There
is no way of estimating the miles trav-
eled on local roads and city streets.
! The average passenger car license
this year is $14.54. The gasoline tax
paid by the average motorist rs about
SO, but this includes trucks and bus
SEES, so the average per passenger can
will be al little less. Assuming it is
] 81 so, this makes total contribu-
tion of $22 per car to the trunk
highway fund. Organizations thai
keep records of the upkeep of cars
for travelling statesmen, county agents
and others, have shown savings from
8 to cents per mile since THE com.
ing of good rods. Using the smaller
figure, the saving ON 2,425 miles oil
travel is $72.75, or $5O.75 after de.
| Quoting the highway tax.
i The average small car owner, whit
travelled only 1859 miles on trunl
highways, at 8 cents "a mile savee
only $55.77, but his license tax was
only SO and his gas tax about SIS, 81
| his net saving was about $40. The
large car owners gross saving was
over 500 and his license and gas TIA,
about $50, leaving a net saving o.
at least $50.

With the knowledge that the sur

which is still of impressive proper

financial experts of the government
that the 1915, 900, 900 surplus, which
accumulated during the last fiscal
year, has already been applied to the
retirement of the public debt and
thaS this sum cannot be considered in

State Tax Levy Will be
Materially Reduced Next Year
General Expenses of Commonwealth
Will Be Less-Total Rate $40
Mills-How Funds are Divided

There will be a 80 per cent re-
duction in the state tax next year.
The cut was announced Tuesday by
the State Auditor who is required by
law to fix the rate. This year, prop
erty owners throughout the state are
paying taxes on their holdings on the
basis of TT mills to the state. For
next year the levy just announced
will be 5.4 mills. OF this sum, 1.23
mills is for school purposes and .05
of mill for the teachers insurance
and retirement fund. Since st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth have teach
'ers' insurance funds of their own, mo
state levy for the purpose is made
in those three cities and consequent
ly the rate there for state taxes, pay
able next year, will be 5.35 mills.
Aside from the items above men
toned, the levy for other state pur-
poses is 4.12 mills, as contrasted with
6. AZ mills last year. The big cut is
in the levy for general revenue pun
poses. Last years levy for the state
revenue fund was 3.5 mills and the
Legislature authorized al levy this fall
for next years taxes of mills. This
has been cut two-thirds, balances II
