the Farmers.
prepared by the United States Department
or Agriculture

prepared by the United States Department
Of AgricuitureI
Economic reviews by state agricul
tural colleges and the United States
Department of Agriculture In which
the farm situation and general supply
and demand factors that affect agri-
culture are analysed are becoming an
important new service for farmers.
The reviews are prepared by trained
farm business analysts. They present
facts and interpretations intended to
guide producers In adjusting produc-
ton to market demands.
A survey just completed by com
mittee Of the outlook conference of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture shows that Is state agricultural
colleges in addition to the federal De
partment of Agriculture now are is
suing. monthly, or more frequently,
publications which make economic in
formation available to farmers in
more or less popular form. Several
additional states are contemplating
the Issuance of similar publications.
Start OF Service.
The application of this type of serv-
ice which Is freely used in the in
dustrial world, by furnishing farmers
with economic analyses of agricultural
conditions, was started shortly after
the termination of the war with the
issuance by the Unietd States Depart
ment of Agriculture of publication
called 'sThe Agricultural Situation"
The publication, brief monthly sum
mary of economic conditions and pros
poets affecting farmers, was in quick
demand as presenting basic facts
which could be used by farmers to
make readjustments to changed eco
nomic conditions in domestic and
world markets.
Demonstration Of the need by farm
ers for this type of information led to
the establishment of similar service
by the state agricultural colleges, until
now more than one-third Of the col
Ieges are issuing economic reviews
dealing with farm conditions. The
characteristic common to most of
these publications is an effort to pre-
sent the basic factors which make up
the current picture of production. move
ment. consumption, and price of farm
products. Some states hold chiefly to
the presentation of their own re-
search results; others interpret the
current data of worldwide origin.
Part Of Broad Plan.
The economic reviews are part Of
broad program in which the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the state colleges are linked together,
and which seeks to help the farmer to
adjust his business as probably as
possible to the requirements of the
market. The educational aspects of
these publications, says the committee.

hered to.

Thinning Is Important
Operation With Apples

An apple crop Of 100000 barrels is
in prospect for this year, compared
with 100000 bushels in 1927. and
growers should thin apples so that
none but the highest quality will reach
The market, according to R. S. Marsh,
University of Illinois. Apple growers
of the Northwest who produce the
fancy ten-cent apples consider thin
ming an important operation in the
growing of fruit.
"Thinning varieties of apple SO
that only one fruit is left on each spur
is a standard Middle Western recon-
mendation," he says. "Apples OF vari'
cites like Northwestern Greening and
Wolf River. get big enough without
thinning. Yellow Transparent, Dutch
ess, Jonathan, Delicious, Grimes, Ben
Davis, Gano, Winesap and others are
varieties that respond profitabiy,
through size increase, to thinning"

Find Harmful Worms on
Several of Bush Fruits

Currant worms damage currants and
gooseberries, according to information
which has been collected by r. S. Her
rick Of the Iowa Horticultural society.
These worms injure the crop by eat
ing the leaves on the bushes, thereby
causing the berries to be small due
to lack of proper nourishment. Where
these worms are present, spray the
bushes with a solution of one-half
ounce of lead arsenate per gallon of
water. If there is mildew on the
leaves, one ounce of dry lime-sulphur
should also be added.

TEACHERS PAY
Goes SKYWARD
in 70 YEARS
Salaries Ranged From $500
to $500 Annually for
Educators Work.
BY LOWELL NUssBAUM


Old-tilne citizens Of Indianapoli
would gasp with surprise if the!
could see the teachers salary
schedule today.
Records in the Office of Frank L
Reissner, school secretary, revea.
that back in 1857 teachers salaries
ranged from 5000 to $500 year
Superintendent George B. Stonf
then received the munifcent salary
of $1,000 annually.
The present superintendent
Charles F. Miller, receives a salary
of $4,000, while the average salary
paid grade teachers is $1,865 and
high school teachers, $2,445. The
present minimum for teachers is
$1,000 and the maximum $1,000.
Paid for Pupils
Record books for 1858 show a
resolution of school trustees that
ward schools be opened as free
schools beginning April IS, 1853
Prior to that parents paid $2,25 a
quarter year for each pupil.
In 1862 trustees set salaries on a
per diem basis. Saturdays, Sundays
and holidays were not paid for
Salaries included grammar depart
ment principals, $3.50 a day; assist
ant principals, 81; ward principals,
SIPS to $3.50 day; primary and
secondary teachers, $110, and other
assistants, IS cents. Janitors were
paid from 81 to 1925 week.
In 1878 high school teachers were
paid from SITS year to $3.50, and
grade teachers from 1920 to $3.50 for
principals.
Records show that night schools
were conducted during the year, 328
pupils attending.
Whipping Was Popular
Corporal punishment helped 316
pupils during the year to mend their
Grant ways.
Comparison of figures shows that
it cost several times as much money
now to educate pupils as it did then.
The average cost per pupil in 1877,
according to the records, was $28.13
for high school and $10.63 for grade
schools. The average cost for 1927
was $72.17 for grade schools and
S13248 for high schools.
In 1853 ten teachers were en-
plcyed, twenty-seven in 1865, and
2OS in 1887. At present there are ap-
proximately 1850 teachers.
Salaries in 1881 were lower than
in 1878, ranging from $500 to $500
for grade teachers. The Orphans
Home School was started in this
year. Average attendance then was
9,316. Now $500 pupils are en-
rolled.
Liquor Money for Schools
School trustees in 1890 had a
total of $252,972 to run schools for
1.-THE year. Of this sum, $30,799 was
raised from liquor licenses. The
school levy was 20 cents.
In 1926 the schools expended
$8,791,021, of which $3,801 OCT was
for teachers salaries. The levy this
year is $1.03.
Gymnasium work in schools is not
new, the records for 1855 showing
employment of Miss Anna NTcVey as
teacher of gymnastics at $500 a
year
Instruction in the German
language was started in that year
also.
