The World and All
IN NEW YORK
By Charles p. Driscon

Sixth Avenue is my favorite street. Not that II Is
altogether agreeable or pleasant or beautiful. But it
is intensely New Yorkish. That is TO saw. Won can't
find anything like it elsewhere.
The elevated runs overhead. Roaringly. devastat-
ingy. You can't make yourself heard by a companion,
walking along a Sixth avenue sidewalk, while the
trains are passing, and there are only fractions Of min
utes between trains.
The elevated structure strides along the wide ave
nue. upon grim. latticed legs Of steel. Under the ele-
waited (Which all New Workers call the Il the light Is
dim and uncertain, even on ~sunshiny days.
Trolley cars rattle and clang and bump along on

Sixth avenue.
! love to watch the statesmen dragging customers
into the Sixth avenue fur stores. They stand outside
on the walks. wearing long white cotton coats over
their business suits. Sharp-featured men, with sudden
accents.
"A woman comes along. in no great hurry. She is
gazing into windows. The fur salesman watches her
narrowly. He observes that she doesn't seem quite at
home. Maybe she is a stranger in New York. looking
for bargains.
The prospect pauses a moment in front Of the
fur store, to glance into the window. chock-fuIl Of
coats bearing enormous price tags and lurid announce
ments that these are the lowest prices in town. and
that customers must beware Of slickers in other stores,
In a trice the salesman is beside the woman, ges-
tieulating, smiling, perhaps putting his hand upon her
shoulder and gently guiding her into the store. The
prospect is confused. She doesn't want furs. She has
no furs. She has no money. No matter, money is not

sights and sounds. It's a long street, and wide, and

Want Cooperation of Farmers

Crop reports are essential TO sterilization Of mar
tft conditions, and the L. S. Department Of Agricul-
tnre is endeavoring 20 secure national cooperation
frem the farmers in furnishing information desired by
fAe Department relative TO crop conditions and possible
yields. The department is mailing questionnaires to
10000 farmers over the United States for this pur-
1oae. The reports to be issued include those relating
90 he acreage Of crops for next years harvest, prices
raid e fAuners for farm products. wages Of farm la

and farm value o. cotton. corn, wheat and other crops.

uork render Indispensable service in making reports
vAieh The Law requires him to issue. and provide them
selves with information necessary to the proper con-
dHst Of their buEiness. Farmers now. more than ever
before, he said. appreciate and understand the forces
that determine value. This has brought an increased
