CHILDREN SPELL
BETTER THAN DID
! PARENTS, HE SAYS

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec 26 (49 -
Despite the frequently expressed opin-
ion of his too frequently forgetful
elders, the modernT child sis a far
better speller than were his fore
fathers,"
That, at least, is the opinion of DR..
Frank N. Freeman, professor of edu-
cational psychology at the University
of Chicago, expressed in paper read
today at meeting Of the section of
education of the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science.
The explanation, he thought, lies in
the scientific investigation Of the con-
ditions of learning to spell which has
enabled the teacher to help the child
over psychological and intellectual
hurdles which his grandfather sur
mounted only by accident.

uashington. D. C., March 22.-
 ,rasIinr statistics concerning the f'-..srs of Connecticut have just kess .@, nade public by the Department " 6.e study made by the department ...,erps the status of farm operators
 ta9b as compared with 1920, and m ims4ieates a definite trend away from .a.s,t- operated farm properties. ln qooe s5 per cent of all the farms ;r tk. state were operated by tenants ,rh;le in 1925 the percentage had 5ronped to 6.4 This was explained as
 "Tbe significant increase in the .,,,her of owner-operated farms nrobably represents mainly the move pse7t of industrial workers to the ea1ntry where cheap houses could be okts,red and where the family car r;es on some farming as a means of snppIementing other sources of in
 Ir 1920. 2f.752 Connecticut farms were operated by owners and manag ers. in 1925 the figure was 20,736. Tenant operated farms, however. drapped from a total of 1919 in 1920 to ASS in 1925.
 Although this study indicated that farming was becoming less popular in the Nutmeg state. another survey made by the department showed that farm lands in the state had risen in vaue more than fifty per cent be- tween 1912 and 1926. The value of improved land in 1926 was s77.00 an acre, as compared with s55 in 1912, while the value of farm land without rose from s2s in 1912 to s45 in 1926.
 An indication of how the cost of operating a farm in Connecticut has risen during the last sixty years is give. by statistics concerning the
Putnam patriot., 1927-03-25

wages of hired labor from the period lsb6-l926, inclusive.
 The Connecticut hired man cost ms employer, in January. 1926. S52.o0 q month, with board. or SsO. without board, according to the de- partment's data. In 1866 the prevail ing wage was Sf5.I6 a month with board. or S24.11, without. Rates bv the day showed a corresponding varia- tlon. Back in 1866. farm help cost ninety-one cents a day, with board or Sl.23. without board. Last year however, the prevailing day wage was S2.45 with board, or S3.6O with out
 Although farm wages for the most part rose, from year to year. between ls56 and 1926. the top rate was re- ported in 1920. when the figure was S56 month with board, or Ss2. with out. The daily wage at this time. with board. was S3.05. and without board, Ss.95.
 Farm prices of the principal crops m Connecticut, from 1898 to 1925. throw further light on the condition of the Nutmeg farmer Corn. in 1893. was quoted at 64 cents a bushel. rose to high mark of S2l5 in 1917, and in 1925 was Sll0 bushel Oats sold at 10 cents a bushel in 1893; rose to % cents in 1918, and in 1925 were 6l cents.
 Rye reached its highest price. $40 bushel. in 1917. In 1893 it sold at 66 cents. and in 1925, Sl30 Buck wheat, in 1893, was quoted at - cents bushel. rose to a high of S210 in 1918, and in 1925 was Si.f5 Pota- toes sold at 75 cents a bushel in 1893. rose to si.95 in 1919. but in 1925 reached the highest price of all, S2.50
 Tame hay sold at S17.50 tor in 1893. reached top price of S3020 in 1919. and sold at S24.40 in 1925. Wild hay was not quoted before i914. when it sold at S1450 a ton. IL reached its highest price. s2200. in 1919. and in 1925 was sl6.50.
 Tobacco Fluetuates Little
 Tobacco. which was quoted at Il cents pound in 1893, was only l9 cents in 1925. It reached it's highest point in 1923. when it was at 46.5 cents although in 1919, 1t was at i6,3 cents pound
 
 farms are given for all the years from 1867 to 1926 Nearly all classes of animals more than doubled in value during this period.
 Horses were quoted at S55.7s in 1867 and at Si2000 in 1926. having in the meantime gen es high aa s!6G in l320. Milk cows in 1867 were SII.23; in 1920 were high at si05.00 and ln 1926 were at S92.o0.
 Cattle other than milk cows showed less variation than any other class of farm animals Tn 1867 they were quoted at S302s. and in 1926, at S33i0. having meantime reached a high point of S44f0 in 1920
 Sheep in 1867 sold at si.0l, as com pared with S9.40 in 1925. and St3.30 in 1919. the highest price. Hogs rose from S1i7I in 1867 to high point of S27.50 in 1920. and in 1926 were at S23.00.
 In presenting all these statistics, the Department of Agriculture did not attempt to draw any conclusions. It does. however, vouch for the reliabil- ity of it's data. "The general conf dence in the farm price statistics of the department, says the report. "has sound foundation in practical use and in theory Every effort within the means of the department has been made ta obtain and report prices which are reliable in every way
