FARM POPULATION SHOWS DECREASE

The farm population of the United States de-
creased GAG, 900 persons last year, the largest de-
crease in any year since 1920, according to esti-
mates by the bureau of agricultural economics,
United States department of agriculture. The
number of people living on farms January 1, 1927,
was estimated at 1882 900, against 1854, 900
on January 1, 1926. The 1925 agricultural census
figure, 28,932,00O, was used as a base for the
bureaus calculations.
1t is estimated that 2,155,OO0 persons moved
from farms to cities, towns and villages last year,
and that 1,135,000 moved to farms, making a
net movement of 100000 away from farms.
Births on farms during 1926 are estimated at
5000, and deaths at $4,000, leaving a natural
increase of 81, 1000 persons, which reduced the
loss due to the cityward movement to $4,000.
The bureaus figures for 1925, revised on the
basis of the 1925 agricultural census, show a net
loss of AL 900 in farm population that year. The
gross movement from farms to cities was 1900
600 and the gross movement to # farms 1,066, 900,
making a net movement to cities, not counting
births and deaths, of $4,000.
All geographic sections of the country show
net decreases in farm population last year. In
the New England states it was $4,000 on January
l, 1927, against $4,000 on January 1, 1926; in
the Middle Atlantic 1,768, 900, against 1903, 900
in the East North Central, 1928, 900, against
4,425,O00; in the West North Central, 4,729, 900,
against 4,826,OOO; South Atlantic, 1898, 900,
against 5,531,000; East South Central, 4,5O9, 900,
against 4,586, 900; West South Central, 1885, OOO
against 4,727,0 900; Mountain states, GAG, 600
against $4,000, and Pacific states, 1000, 600
against 1,014,OOO.
The figures show that in the New England
states $4,000 persons left the farms last year and
$4,000 went to farms; Middle Atlantic, 1885, 600
from farms and 100000 to farms; East North
Central, 1890 from farms and $4,000 to farms
West North Central, $4,000 from farms and
$4,000 to farms; South Atlantic, $4,000 from
farms and 1880 0 to farms; East South Central
266,OOO from farms and 101,O 600 to farms; West
South Central, 40 1900 from farms and $4,000
to farms; Mountain, 100000 from farms anC
$4,000 to farms; Pacific, 10000 from farms anC
100000 to farms.

and not a golden age, and those who believe that
immortality, brutality and predatory wealth and
power were less prevalent then than now should
read history more carefully.
Statistics show that prison population in the
United States is not increasing, but declining, in
proportion to our numbers, and that the human
ity of present day prison management would have
astOunded our grandparents.
'"The dress of woman is not yet as scanty as
that of the aborigines, and whether it is a sign
of moral degeneracy is open to question. History
shows that corruption has been most prevalent
in courts of the longest trains and most elaborate
ruffles. Outside of a few theaters in a few great
cities, the American stage is not demoralized;
and outside of a few newspapers in these same
cities, the American press is not thriving on i'm
morality more than heretofore. Most of the
supply and demand of degenerate entertainment
and reading is imported and not homegrown.
eff hospitals are overcrowded it is due to the
fact that far more scientific attention is now
being given to human ailments than was deemed
necessary or possible a generation ago. The sign
ificant fact is that this country probably has 10
times more disqualification per capita now than
it had a third of a century ago. Statistics show
that the average length of life is being constantly
increased. Yellow fever, which once periodically
ravaged a great portion of our country, has been
conquered, largely through governmental activity.
The physician of 100 years ago thought it was
enough to heal the sick; today the medical world
is almost universally active in preventing the
spread of disease physicians are paid to cure.
"Our fathers were wise according to their
lights. They had to deal with no such compli-
Gated problems of a civilization of increasing
wealth and most complex economic organization,
as those this generation is called upon to handle.
Civilization is going steadily forward, not back
ward. The only menace it faces is indifference
to the duty of guarding and preserving our c~iviliza-
ton of ordered liberty in the face of the attacks
of those who from one motive and another are
out to destroy it-and as a means of doing Sc
cover it with the blackness of their own pessim.

WHAT A 1O-CENT PROFIT MEANS

Not long ago the LIE Seur, Mimi, HERALD
said:
81. F. Reed, president of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau federation, spoke a volume in a few words
yesterday at Aberdeen, S. D., when he said that
it now costs the farmer 34.4 cents a bushel to
ship his wheat through Duluth to Liverpool, but
that with the st. Lawrence outlet open it would
cost him PA cents.
LAS that saving of 10 cents a bushel may
easily represent the difference between loss. and
profit, between failure and success, between dis
content and happinss, eloquence could not more
wildly tell the farmer why he should be working
vigorously for the opening of the st. Lawrence
waterway"
The HERALD is right, especially when we re-
call that the producer receives the market price
less the cost of reaching the market, and that
when the transportation cost is reduced the return
to the producer is increased.

Repercussions from the presidents
New York address are of the happi-

the president would have something
important to say-and he did. Only
would-be fomenters of discord could
possibly be ~displeased, and the better
displeased they are the happier the
rest of us are. 1t is interesting to
note that not the least acceptable por-
tion of Nh. Coolidge's speech was that
in which, he talked to the assembled
newspaper men about their W craft
and its great mission in American
life. Noting that this country was
rather remiss than over forward in
pressing her own rights on foreign
countries, the president said, "But

he paid the United Press the very

CIVILIZATION NOT DECAYING

Civilization is not degenerating as some people
would have us believe, the National Republic de-
clares editorialy in it's current number. In sus-
tanning its position the editor makes a number
of comparisons, among which are the following:
"Banditry is not more prevalent today than it
was 400 years ago; things that were tolerated
then are, in many cases, now regarded as banditry.
The laws were so arranged that the weak
could be plundered by the strong without resort
to violence. 1t may have been the age of poetry,
but the greatest of all poets was clapped in Jail

EDUCATION AND THE FARM

Disproving the old theory that education is of
no material value for farm work, figures COM
piled by the extension service, department of
agriculture, show that every day spent in school
by a Texas farm child is estimated as being
worth SO to him.
A general. survey, of which the Texas figures
are cited as an instance, shows that greater pros
perity follows greater training. Statistics have
proved the value of education in every phase of
life.

WHEAT SCARS TODAY

Danger State of Inspection Report
ed in Spring Grain Fields of
South Dakota.

CHICAGO, June 30.-Wheat scored
a sharp early advance today, largely
on account of definite reports of black
rust in districts where the Spring crop
has headed out. Advices were also
at hand that the Kessinger bill APP
peared more likely to fail. Opening
unchanged to % off, wheat soon took
a decided swing upward. Corn was
relatively weak, starting at ~ to rs
decline and not holding well on rallies.
oats were firmer; provisions showed
gains.
Black rust infection of many fields
of Spring wheat between Yankton and
Mitchell, S. OAK, was reported today.
1t was stated specifically that this
wheat had headed out and that the
rust ranges from general infection on
the lower sheath in fields near Yank-
ton to a slight trace in the crop near
Mitchell. Friends of higher prices
for wheat laid stress likewise on word
that Southern hemisphere acreage
does not suggest a liberal yield, and
that European requirements promise
to parallel closely those of the year
now closing.
Hot, clear weather had a bearish
effect on corn today acting at times
as more than a counterbalance for

BANK CLEAR|NGS
HERE SHOW GAIN
Six Months Total $714,439,-
$50, Against $685., 686,448
First Half of 1926.
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

If you take checks passing through
the Washington Clearing House as
trade criterion, business transacted in
the National Capital in June has been
well ahead of that for the previous
month of May.
For the first six months Of the
present year business has also been
growing steadily and has surpassed
the same period year ago, or any
other year, as cleraings for the six
months have established a new record.
Bank clearings for the month end
ing today amounted to $127.516, 1886 SO.
according to the figures of the Wash
ington Clearing House Association
kept by Manager c. F.. Bright. These
figures are under those for June, 1926,
when they totaled $12S ,361,0 71.7S, indi
eating that trade during the present
month has not been quite up to last
June.
The clearings for MAY, 1927, how.
ever, were $120,8 ,495 40. which re-
veals a healthy increase in local trade
when these two months are compared.
The real proof of expansion in
Washington's commercial life comes
when the first six months business is
compared with former years. This
years six-month total is STA, 439
56O.84. against a total for the same
period in 1926 of $685., $3.50, 448.7S, the
exact gain in Cancelled bank checks
reaching the sum of $1S.753,112.06.
Comparison of June bank clearings
for several years past is very inter.
esting, as it shows great strides in
trade, especially since 1915. Perhaps
the biggest jump took place i'm 1925
when clearings were $124,366.75S
against the much lower figure in 1924
of $103.703.090.
Total bank clearings by months for
the first six months of the present
year and for the corresponding period
last year are as follows:
