FARM POPULATION DECREASES
Smallest in Twenty Years According
to U. S. Department of Agriculture

Smallest in Twenty Years According
to U. S. Department of Agriculture
The farm population of the United
States is now the smallest in twenty
years, reports the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics, Z. S. Department
of Agriculture, which estimates the
farm population of 1000 persons
on January /, 1929, as compared with
a peak of 32,O00,000 persons in 1909.
The bureaus estimate also shows a
decrease in farm population during
the past year despite improved agri-
cultural conditions and a slight slack
ening in industrial employment, the
January /, 1929, figure comparing
with a farm population of 27,699.0OO
persons on January /, 1928. The de
crease in farm population the past
year would have been much greater
were it not offset by an excess Of
births over deaths, the figures reveal
ing that in the movement of popula-
ton from and to farms 1850 persons
left farms during the year, and l.
100000 persons moved from cities to
farms. The movement away from
farms slowed up somewhat during the
year as compared with Immediately
preceding years, but the movement
from cities to farms was also smaller.
Thus it is show that ] 100000 persons
left farms during the past year, COM
pared with 1,978,OOO in 1927. and with
2,155,0O0 in 1926. The movement
from cities to farms was 100000
persons last year, 1,374,OO0 in 1927,
and 1,135,OOO in 1926.

ENROLMENT IN C. M. T. CAMP
Young Men Between Ages of IL and
"a, With Sound Physique, Can Enter

Young Men Between Ages of IL and
"a, With Sound Physique, Can Enter
The record breaking rust to enroll
in the Citizens Military Training
Camps which already has closed two
encampments and filled half of the
vacancies for all others will not de-
prive young men of Kent County of
their opportunity to attend if they act
at once, it was announced by Prof. Z.
w. w. Schantz, chairman of the coun-
ty committee in charge of camp en-
rollment. Under a system of quotas
placed in effect by Major General Han
son E. Ely, commanding the Second
Corps Area, this county has been al
lotted Is vacancies, the local chair
man said. He added that these would
be held open a reasonable length of
time regardless of the tremendous de-
mand in all parts of the country by
young men seeking to take advantage
of the Governments offer of thirty
days Of camp life without expense.
Any young man of good moral char
acter and sound physique who is an
American citizen between the ages of
IL and "a can enter the c. M. /.
Camps so long as there are openings.
No obligation for future military ser
vice of any kind is incurred. The
Government pays all necessary ex-
penses. including railroad fare to camp
and return, food. uniforms, athletic
equipment, and laundry service. Sew
en- thousand young men residing with
in the Second Corps Area, comprising
New York State, New Jersey, Della
ware, and Porto Rico, will be trained
during July and August under Gen
eral Ely's supervision. Only the first
5000 to qualify, however, will be sent
to camp under present plans, the re
maing 1,70O being classed as alter
mates to be called in if principals are
unable to 60. Both Cavalry encamp-
ments-one at Fort Ethan Allen, Yer
mont, and the other at Port Myer,
Virginia-were closed to further en-
rollment after less than ten days of
the opening Of the lists, Mr.. Scrantz
has been informed by General Ely.
For the August camps, vacancies are
available at Camp Dix, N. j., and
Plattsburg for Basic and Advanced
Infantry students; at Fort Hancock,
N. j., for Basic and Advanced Coast
Artillery students, and at Madison
Barrocks, N. ", for Advanced Field
Artillery students. Mr.. Schantz,
pointing out that last year there were
almost twice as many qualified appli-
cants as could be admitted to camps,
warned young men of the county
against delay in filing their applica-
tions if they wish to attend camp
this Summer. The quota assigned to
this county, he explained, can be guar
anteed only as long as there is an ac-
tive demand for enrolment and is de-
signed primarily to equalize the OPP
portunity interested youth in all parts
of the Corps Area enjoy of qualifying
at their earliest convenience.

STATE APPLE LAW CHANGES

Amendments Named in Bill Would
Eliminate Grades and Aid Marketing
The new statute amending the ap-
pie branding law has been reported
out of committee in the Legislature.
The law which is sponsored by the
Peninsula Horticultural Society, Del
aware apple growers and several of
the oranges makes four changes in
the present law. It would give State
apple inspectors the authority to in
spect the contents of any closed apple
carrier. At this time they have no
authority to open package and as
certain whether the marking is in ac-
cordance with the contents. Another
section would eliminate Delaware
grades. Instead of Y. S. No. 2 the
package would be marked "Choice." ."
There are many who do not want No.
2 apples. but who would buy "Choice."
In this way both the buyer and the
seller would be satisfied. Another
amendment would change the penalty
for violations from $25 to 800 as it
is now and with all violations reported
to the encouragement to fine of
SIS which could be paid to any magis-
trate. Heretofore 1t called for jury
trials, which also added to the cost to
the violator. Another amendment re-
ouires that apples be marked before
they are placed in storage. This would
save the State much money as under
the old provision it is necessary to
have an inspector on the job through
out the entire winter.

"In
My
Opinion"

A column in which readers
may express their views on
motoring and traffic problems.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-11-17

Of wisdom to have the information on
record. Especially where both heads
Of the family drive the car there is
greater chance of losing the key and
It speeds up the process of obtaining
q duplicate to be able to have the
dealer wire the factory the exact num-
Der.
Why these sudden starts that make
the tires screech and give passengers
strained necks?
rye been thinking quite a bit about II
and have concluded that the weight
Of the average womAn's foot and shoe
may have something to do with it. A
man has q heavier load to lift from
to start off with bang.
These modern clutches are sensitive
to relatively small differences in weight
and pressure. Think 1t over.
Ambitious women who call a service
man or q representative Of their motor
club to do the actual labor of chang
ing tire need not stand around idly
while the work Is in process. There
are certain things which they could do
by way of collaboration that would serve
to speed up the work.
There Is, for instance, the test OF
air pressure in the spare. Muady can
attend to this while the assistant Is
lacking UP the wheel. Even before he
arrives she can speed the work by I'M
locking the spare. Still another help
is to place the car on level piece Of
ground SO that lacking up can be ac-
complished without blocking the wheels.
Grind the valves and clean out the
carbon-familiar words, these. Yet
what do they mean? What are these
processes, anyway?
The valves are the mushroom-like
metal parts which, in riding uncover
the valve ports to let in or let out the
gases. Naturally they must seat tightly
or the unburned gas will leak out and
compression will be low when each
cylinder is about to fire. Since carbon
passes out the exhause port with each
combustion there Is tendency for par
ticles Of this substance to lodge around
the exhaust valve seats. It gets pounded
down by the valves in closing so that
It tends to stick to the valve seats as
well as the valve heads.
That isn't the worst OF It. The valve
In being held open gets pitted and
burned. Also In time the stems, which
work In fairly tight guides, become
gummy so that the valves stick open.
Thus every now and again the valves
should be taken out trued UP, cleaned
and then ground into their respective
seats very carefully.
The seating is so delicate process
that even If q hair is under the valve
when it closes leakage will be excess
sive. That Is why valve grinding re-
quires an experienced workman who
will have the patience to do the work
properly.
Since the head of most motors is
removed to uncover the valves it is
logical to scrape all carbon from the
tops Of the pistons and around the
valves. The inside of the head itself
will require considerable cleaning. The
smoother it is the less carbon it will
collect.
It's all well and good to sound the
horn at each intersection, but don't
deafen yourself with your own warn
ings. There should be O period for
listening to the warning Of the other
driver.

DECLINE IN AUTO
OUTPUT CONTINUES
No Cessation of CurtaiIment
Is Noted During Cur
rent Week.

The current week witnessed no cessa-
ton of output ctlrtailment IN the auto
motive industry and the downward
trend contained at practically an I'M
broken pace, according to B. H. Cram.
president of Grams Auto1nottve Re
ports, Inc.
Reductions in the operating sched-
ules of passenger car manufacturers
occurred in many instances and In all
price fields. One or two companies
commanded attention by not yielding
to the general recession but this was the
result of recently introduced new lines
adding to the production totals, and not
because the concerns established models
had not felt the effects Of the sales
decline.
More breaks in market values of
stocks. following and even exceeding
on some occasions the recent deluge
of selling, precipitated further discus
sion as to the status of the automotive
industry in this situation. However, a
canvass of all reliable advices available
points to the unquestioned soundness
Of virtually all automobile companies
condition. whether or not losses si1f-
fered by small stock buyers can reduce
their purchasing power to such an ex-
tent and over so wide an area as to
limit future new car buying remains to
be seen. Nevertheless, this is pos
sible development which is the source
of much speculation. It has been
pointed out that the market disaster
was timely from the standpoint of the
automotive industry In that had such
break occurred in February or March
its results might have been decidedly
harmful.
New car buying acquired more
strength during the current week, but
this produced little effect on stocks.
Used car sales continued to decline and
stocks remained high throughout the
country.
Aided by an increasing export de-
mand, particularly from countries
south Of the Equator, the truck division
is maintaining Its production and sales
trend almost on an even keel. The
current week gave no evidence Of truck
production yielding to recession, despite
the fact that output for the domestic
market Is showing slight decline. Viz
tually all factories continued operations
on unchanged schedules.
Tire manufacturers inventories No
vember / totaled between 100000
and 100000 castings, as compared
with peak inventory figure reported
last Summer of more than 16,06U000
The recent price action of rf1anufac-
turers, designed to stabilize the retail
market, virtually restores the old con-
sumner list price as standard base for
use by all retail dealers. Some tire
dealers now are giving their dealers O
flat % or 80 per cent discount from the
new list, in addition to which are cash
discounts and volume bonuses.

Of trafic, gave the signal for left turn
and then was almost struck by q car
which had passed to the left OF the
safety zone. To my surprise, I observed
that It was precinct car, driven by a
policeman.
The Traffic Bureau gave a very
diplomatic answer to my query, which
almost made the action OF both officers
entirely correct, as follows: ut Is per-
lnissible to do this drive to the left
cf the safety sone). provided signs have
not been erected to the contrary and q
police ef1cer Is not in charge OF the
intersection. When q police off1cer is
in charge Of an intersection he will
direct traf1c in accordance with con-
ditions."
Personally this leaves me "up in the
air" as far as driving to the left Of
safety zones when policeman is In
charge Of the intersection IL concerned
It would appear that the only way in
which to discover II particular police
man is "touchy" on the subject is to
try It out. If you get away with It, all
right. If you do not. take your ticket
and deposit collateral. In time one
may learn the feelings OF the policeman

"Up In the Air.
A recent incident may be Of interest.
It deals with the practice Of driving to
the left Of safety zones. Sometime ago
I read in The Star what purported to
be an officiAl ruling regarding the le-
sality Of this practice, and, according
to my understanding. the ruling was
to the effect that it Is entirely legal to
drive to the left Of the safety zone, pro-
viding the zone itself extending to the
nearest car track Is not entered.
Accordingly, have not hesitated TO
avail myself Of the added trafnc lane
when circumstances make It desirable
to do 80. However, after being called to
account for doing 60 recently under cir
cunastances which puzzled me, ! have
obtained added Information on the SUD-

man, noticing my intention, waved vlo-
lently at me, notioning me 70 the rlgnI
Of the zone, which direction touoweo.
The policeman then 'lectured" me for
a few minutes, saying he was going 70
start handing out tickets. Finally ne
allowed me to proceed.
At the very next corner, where de-
sired to make left-hand turn, q saIety

MILADY'S MOTORING
BIZ FREDERICK c. RUSSELL.

A woman doesn't have to be q magi-
clan to turn q car into driveway.
Dame Fashion has been standing on
the curb watching the cars roll by and
apparently concludes that q woman's
sleeve Is one part of her raiment most
conspicuous while she Is at the wheel.
All Of which explains Why the latest
in the outer part Of the three-piece
ensemble Is a plain yellow imported

is very modish when the arm Is reclin-

it should be for safety's sake,
Another observer Of women states
that when driving they have a bad
habit Of turning around to look squarely
at the front seat passenger. Maybe
this party sitting to the right is worth
glance now and again, but in turning
the head the sides of the hat cut off
from view those occasional moving OBJ
jects which bob out from side streets

The stallins is due TO the air valve

This is true Of certain cars which are
