MARKET OUTLOOK
Is ENCOURAGING

|THAT the domestic market will
continue to absorb farm prod
ucts this year about as usual
Is the assumption of department of
agriculture economists after a survey
Of the general business situation, &C
cording to a summary of the monthly
report on the agricultural situation
which has just been issued by the
bureau of agricultural economics.
Spring work is reported as progressing
fayorably. The outlook for dairy and live
stock is considered optimistically by grow
ton In the eastern part of the belt, but
not quite so good in the west.
Truck Shipments Heavy
shipments OF early truck crops have been
heavy, the daily movement lately running
around 100 cars of celery, Is cars Of to-
matoes and IL cars of Strawberries from
Florida; 200 cars of lettuce from the I'm
perial valley, and rs cars of spinach from
Texas.
The dairy outlook in the eastern states
is considered good for the year. Field
work has been begun in the more southern
areas OF the corn belt, although the Land
generally throughout the belt is unfit to
work as yet.
Winter wheat growth and condition are
reported as fairly good. Livestock has
wintered well. Hog raisers are optimistic
There Is talk Of increased hog breeding thif
year, depending, however, on corn pros
poets.
Oats Being sown
Oats are being sown in the southern por'
tons of the wheat belt, with earlier SOW
ings already up. Wheat looks good in the
eastern part OF the belt; but not so good In
the west. Late SHOWS helped grain In
western Kansas. The spring wheat terri
tory is none too optimistic following Q
lean year.
Spring work is well under way on the
Pacific coast. Fruit IL in bloom In the
north, and winter grain is growing rapid
ly. Earlier field crops generally are doing
we'll. There is an excellent stand OF sugar
beets In the Sacramento valley. Heavy
shipments of oranges. lettuce and vege
tables are being made from southern Call.
l~fornia.
The report says that "the South prob.
ably will grow considerably more corn ant
other feed crops this year, so that II
acreages are sustained elsewhere a goot
growing season might bring another yeal
of cheap feedstuffs. Nevertheless, the farm
community Is In much better position tt

this year than from low priced cash crops
Purchasing Power Higher

power Of farm products In terms OF non,
Agricultural commodities is placed, at n
for January, against 30 In December, ths

This compares with IS the previous Janu
airy and "a two years previous.

In the business situation which offers an

farmers are concerned. The general pre-
sumption Ia that the domestic market vii

HEALTH COLUMN
Talks on tuberculosis, By c. O..
Probst, M. D., President, Ohio
Public Health Association

Twenty-Five years ago, one person
in every seven who died in the United
States died from tuberculosis. Today
il is less than half that number. 1t
still kills about 100000 of our people
every year. Since 1900, more than two
millions have died in the United
States from this disease. The money
loss, counting loss Of wages, sick, care
and burial is estimated at ten billions
of dollars. But think of the sorrow!
How many homes it has broken up;
how many orphans it has made. And
yet it is preventable disease.
You doubtless all know that tuber-
culosis is caused by tiny germ or
seed that gets into the body where it
may grow enormously in numbers and
thereby causes sickness, and often
death. Without this particular germ
there can be no tuberculosis. This
germ doesn't live long outside the
body of man or some animal The
COW is the only animal of much i'm
portance to US because a tuberculous
COW is apt to have the germs in her
milk.
Most of US have acquired great re-
sistance against tuberculosis. The
germs get into the bodies of most of
US but they don't grow there. 1t is
like sowing flower seeds in pure sand
But there is this difference: We may
abuse our bodies in many ways SO that
they lose this resistance or immunity.
The germs that were there, alive but
harmless, may then begin to grow and
cause disease.
Many conditions tend to break down
this resistance, such as long hours Of
hard work, combined with over crowd
ing, bad ventilation in shop and home,
and especially insufficient or bad food.
tuberculosis increased greatly after
the great war in those countries where
food was scarce. 1t may be some
other disease, like "fu," or especially
measles in children, that breaks down
our resistance and brings on tubercu-
losis.
We no longer believe that tubercu-
losis is inherited, but we do believe
that to be we'll born, from a health
standpoint, usually gives Us much
greater resistance against tuberculosis
and many other diseases. To come
from long lived healthy stock is a
great asset, and we should do our best
to hand this on to those who are to
follow US.

TONGUE BITTEN OFF

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 4-Miss Lily
Williams, Of 900 Houston street, this
city, % years old and good looking,
had about third of her tongue bitten
off last Sunday morning by David
Williams, a friend of hers. They
first met last July and subsequently
became good friends but it seems that
they did not get along very well Of
late. On Sunday morning Williams
returned to her home to see her and
when she rebuked him saying she did
not want to see him any more, he be-
came enraged and struck her knock
ing her down in the bed. He then
commenced choking her and while in
this furious temper he noticed a
heavy gold chain with locket around
her neck. This he commenced twist
ing around her neck and while in this
agony of choking her tongue was
forced out of her mouth. Williams,
upon seeing this, got hold Of it with
his teeth and completely severed it.
The police are looking for Williams
and it is hoped that he viii be appre-
hended and punished in a manner be-
fitting such a crime.
