Science has now become a part Of
public speaking. No longer does the
timid-voiced speaker have to stand
In the background because of his in
ability to make himself heard by his
audience Orators and near orators
now easily talk to large gatherings
through the use of the Bell Public
Address System which is being used
extensively for important meetings
almost everywhere.
The Bell Public Address System
was first used before the public at
the Inauguration of the late Presi-
dent Harding, at Washington, March
4, 1921. At that time it was dem
Dnstrated that hundreds of thousands
Of people could easily hear clearly
and distinctly the words of the speak

the public address system has been
used at many of the important events
that have occurred in the District of

The pecan is the largest growing
nut tree under orchard cultivation
The average spread of the ordinarily
big pecan trees, SO or more years
old, favorably located, is probably
from 100 to 1875 feet, although trees
of materially greater range are not
unusual. This is three or four times
the usual size of normally large apple
trees and from four to six times that
of the peach.

FARMERS INTENTIONS TO
PLANT WINTER WHEAT
FALL OF 1927

MARK YOU THIS:-Readers of this
report are not to understand that
this is forecast of the acreage that
will actually be planted in the fall of
1927. Rather, it is a statement of
what farmers say they have in mind
to plant. And the purpose in pub
fishing this report is that growers
may modify their plans il change
appears desirable to them.
MARYLAND
Farmers of Maryland have in
mind to SOW $1,000 more acres of
winter wheat this fall than in the
fall of 1926; that is to say, $1,000
acres this fall against $4,000 acres
in the fall of 1926, according to
John S. Dennee, Federal agricultural
statistician for Maryland. The in
tended acreage this fall, says the sta
tistician, is per cent less than the
average of sowings for the five-year
period 1909-1913; Is per cent less
than the average for the five-years
1914-1918; per cent less than the
average for the five-year period 1919
1923; IA per cent more than the es-
timated actual sowings in the fall of
1928; IA per cent more than the es-
timated actual sowings in the fall OF
1925; and per cent more than the
estimated actual sowings in the fall
of 1925. Two hundred and fifteen
| (215) farmers, reporting for their
own farms, furnished the data on
which the 1927 estimate of intended
sowings is grounded.
The average annual abandonment
of winter wheat in Maryland during
the past ten years is 81 per cent.
So, if farmers carry out their plant
ings-intentions as expressed on the
average date of August 1. 1927 to
the United States Department of
agriculture, and an average annual
abandonment should take place, the
area remaining for harvest in the
summer of 1928 would be about
$4,000 acres. which is 4.3 per cent
larger than the harvested acreage in
1927.
UNITED STATES
Farmers of the United States, 21,-
900 of them reporting on the aver
age date of August /, 1927 for their
own farms, indicate an intention to
sow an acreage of winter wheat this
'all 1877 greater than sown in the
fall of 1926. If these Intentions
should be realized a total acreage of
48,637,O00 acres would be sown.
And that would be greater than the
acreage of Winter Wheat sown in
any season except 1918.
