"Cans't thee provide naught but
this eternal turkey for our board,
Goodman" quoth dame Prudence
Pennyfeather in a bit of a Pet. 'Me-
thinks this gloomy forest is full big
enough to have in it all birds and
beasts created since the Deluge!"
Goodman Pennyfeather snatched
up his blunderbus and retorted bit
acidly, "Beasts and birds there are
aplenty in yon forest and hostile
Indians, too-while turkeys in plen-
ty are at our very door. Nae-the-
less, shall try again to appease
thy impatience."
That might have happened in Pill
grim days. Even right after the
Civil War wild turkeys were so
numerous in some parts of the coun-
try as to constitute an actual pest.
They raided grain fields with such
devastating effect that it was a prob
lem to cope with them. Now quite
the reverse is true.
OF course, no one is surprised to
learn that the wild turkey is prac-
tically extinct One would think,
however, that the periodical demand
created by our great national feast
days would cause poultry raisers
everywhere to devote a considerable
part of their time to turkey raising.
I believe the reason that such is rot
the case is to be found in the oft
repeated story that turkeys can only
be raised successfully on great
ranches and that, at best, they are
so delicate and temperamental as to
make them very hard to handle.
For those who have hesitated to
take up turkey raising, or who have
tried and failed, want to make a
number of recommendations. shall
give a short digest of these recon-
mendations and will be glad to ans
wer further questions from any one
writing me in care of this paper.
For breeding purposes use only
thoroughbreds. Select the strongest
and healthiest birds. Do not mate
more than 10 or Is hens with one
male. Use incubators for best re-
suits. You never have to wait for
an incubator to get broody and it
will give most uniform results If
properly regulated. Use no eggs
over ten days old. Practically all
the big commercial turkey raisers
use artificial brooders. The most
up-to-date ones can be closely regu-
lated so that, barring accidents, re-

FARMERS STANDARDS OF
LIVING
ALICE H. ROSS

(Rural Sociology and Economics
Department.
Farmers standards Of living are
referred to very often by leaders
who are looking for solutions to the
problems of agriculture.
Ordinarily this term, standards of
living, conveys different ideas to
different people. To many it means
the sum total of economic goods,
meeting only the material or the
physical needs of the family-food,
housing and clothing. To others 1t
may mean emphasis on goods of a
psychic or subjective nature, such
as education, social or personal i'm
provement at the expense of sufti-
cient food, clothing or shelter.
BY farmers standards we really
mean the economic goods contribut-
ing to the maintenance of health,
transportation, education, recreation
and social relationships of the fam
lily, as well as those satisfying the
more material needs-food, housing,
fuel and clothing.
To understand this socio-econom-
ic study of nearly three thousand
white farm families of selected To-
calities in IL states, many topics are
to be considered, as: Explanation
of study, values of goods used, COM
parsons for different groups Of
families, relation of selected factors
to standard of living and use of av-
erage values of goods in planning
for more rational family living in
the farm home.
In the explanation of this study
it must be borne in mind that food
is by far the most important item
of family living, it having an aver
age value of $65S.S0, amounting to
41.2 per cent of the value of all
goods used and that the greater
part of the food can be produced
on the farm; were it not for that
farmers would hardly have an ex-
istence as since the World War all
kinds of goods except the farmers
have gone up 72 per cent or more
while theirs have only advanced
% per cent.
Farmers standards of living or
economics should be thoroughly
studied as economics is the business
of getting living or the way men
satisfy their needs.
AS farming has been on the wane
for about two decades, both rural
and urban leaders must consider it.,
both depending upon it in a great
measure. BY careful study it has
been discovered that the value Of
food is approximately two-fifths the
value of clothing, rent and opera
tion, goods approximately two-ffths,
and the value of all other goods
slightly less than one-ffth of the
value of family living.
The main difficulties to the farm
ers' success have been poor market
ing facilities, high cost of farm Ia
bor, high cost of farm implements,
high cost of transportation, lack OF
cooperation, low-purchasing power
of the farmers products, lack OF
protective legislation, rapid shifts,
necessary, high taxes, 0verproduc-
tion of certain crops, high cost and
complexity of distribution, poor
business management on certain
farms, and in relation to marketing
and migration as surplus population
and social and educational handt-
caps.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Continua-
ton of the bank of England's AZ
per cent rediscount rate removed
fears of an immediate advance here
and the better feeling in speculative
quarters was reflected in further
sharp advances in early stock mar
Mket dealings today.
United States Steel started a half
point lower at 154h, but changes in
other sections of the list showed
gains from fraction of a point to
9 points. The latter was made by
Radio, which opened at 374. Hud-
son, Hupp, Packard and Studebaker
were selling around their best levels
of the movement.
Montgomery Ward was the feature
of the pivotal shares, running up
more than 2 points, while Anaconda
gained fraction on sale of 5000
shares. Sears-Roebuck was also in
demand, advancing more than a
point, while rails we're again in
favor.
New Haven, New York Central
and Atchison all made gains OF
around a point each. Public Service
was a feature OF the utilities, 5000
shares changing hands at 88. an adj
vance of 23i points from the prev
ious close.
With high grade issues showing
buoyancy, the whole market dis
played a good tone with prices at
new highs on the recovery.

Oats Were Weak.

? CHIICAGO, Jan. 1O.-wheat
moved unevenly higher on the
Board of Trade again today. Corn
suffered slight setback. Oats were
weak.
At the opening wheat was I'M
changed to p cents higher, corn
was Is to 3s cents lower and oats
were rs cents lower to Is cents
higher. Provisions were slightly
higher.
Liverpool failed to respond fully
to the good advance in wheat at
Chicago Wednesday but there is
some feeling among traders that the
grain is at last out of its rut. Mis-
souri, points reported damage from
alternate freezes and rains today:
The country sold considerable
corn on the bulges Wednesday but
without affecting the strength of
the market. Although rank and
file of traders look for higher prices
they will probably await a depres-
sion before extending their lines.
A good demand for oats was re-
ported at the Pacific coast today,
an unusual condition for that
region.

Not Retiring From industry
but Lessons Labor.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-W. G. Du-
rant advised a meeting of Durant
motor dealers here today that, while
he is not retiring from the business,
he is turning active management
Of the concern over to a group of
executives whose names soon will be
announced.
He said that "for the purpose of
more efficient manufacturing, we are
moving a large portion of our Eliza
beth operations to our plant in
Lansing
He announced Durant motors had
had in 1923 the greatest year in its
history, selling more than $4,000
cars.
Coincident with announcement
of appointment of R. T. Hodgkins as
general sales manager, Durant
stated:
Il have arranged for new group
of executives to become heavily in
terested financially with us, and at
the same time take over complete
management of Durant Motors,
Inc"
He said he had reached the point
where more leisure and recreation
were necessary, while competition
demands the undivided attention
and closest application of those who
direct the destinies of our business. ;"

SIGNAL HILL, WORLDS
RICHEST CITY-FOR SIZE
1873 Acres of Producing Oil Land
Worth S29,7O7,OOO.

BB JHltcG Press
LONG BEACH, Cal, Jan. To-
The richest city in the world is Sig
nal Hill. That is, for its size it is
the richest.
The title was claimed in a report
filed by the captain of its fire de-
partment.
According to his statement, each
of the 1873 acres of producing oil
land included within the city's
boundaries bears an average as
sessed valuation of $19,500, or a to-
tai of 29,7O7,O 900 for the entire city.
The same report placed the per
capita wealth at 5000.
Signal Hill has existed as a cor
porate city for a little more than
five years. 1t withdrew from the
jurisdiction of Long Beach as a re-
suit of the enormous oil activities
then going on.
It is this wealth of petroleum
product that is held responsible for
its financial position.

THOUSANDS OF
JOB HUNTERS
HECKLE HOOVER
Rush of Deserving Ones
to Capital Again Well
Under Way.
lBg Thomsop q McKinnonI
BY JOHN M. GLEIssNER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.--The
quadrennial guest of the job hunters
has begun, with Herbert Hoover
back in the capital. He will be called
upon to fill thousands of positions
ranging from cabinet officer down
to small town postmaster.
Some of the positions will be open
as terms automatically expire. Other
vacancies occur through automatic
resignation with change of admin
istration.
Nearly eighteen thousand federal
officers in all owe their jobs to pres
idential appointment, i'll which the
senate must concur. These include
cabinet officers, diplomatic and con-
sular officers, judges, distrcit-at-
torneys, collectors of customs, col
lectors of internal revenue, United
States marshals, most of the mem
berS of numerous government COM
missions and boards, heads of some
bureaus, various solicitors and I'M
der secretaries, superintendent of
minis and assay offices, various Gus
toms and land office eiciaIs, and
others who make up the govern
ment's far-flung executive staff.
Problem Is Vexing One
Most of the patronage ordinarily
is distributed through members Of
congress, but pickering over the
spoils and the opportunities of job
hunters has made appointments one
of the most difficult problems con-
fronting a new executive.
Appointments to the principal
places, of course, involve important
questions of policy and politics, and
necesSitate discussion with influen-
tial groups and individuals.
The most important group of
presidential appointments is first,
second, and third class postmaster
ships. These number 1859, with
salaries ranging from a few hundred
up to $4,000.
The civil service commission holds
examinations for these postmaster
ships, certifying the highest candi-
dates, but this is little more than
formality, and the appointments are
governed by politics.
Many in Fourth Glass
The largest group of postmaster
ships are those of the fourth class,
numbering 34,305, who are not
named by the President, and who
are subject to the civil service law.
Theoretically they are removed
from politics. Actually, the civil
service commission certifies the
three highest candidates to the post
office department after an examina-
ton. Any one of the three may be
chosen and it is here that members
Of congress can exert their influence,
and do.
Political influence also has been
charged in selection of rural mail
carriers, who similarly are certified.
All told, there are $4,000 persons
in what is designated as the federal
executive civil service, and which
does not include the legislative and
judicial establishments, which name
their own employees. Of this number
about $4,000 are not in the CLASH
fed service and get their jobs other
wise than through competitive ex-
animation.

Planes Used With Care

Most mail and passenger planes
are flown less than 500 miles on
daily runs, shows a check of the
American Air Transport Associa-
ton.
At each division a new pilot and
plane take the cargo and speed to
the next airport, while the plane
just used undergoes a complete
check, refueling, etc.
The careful selection of pilots,
equipment and care of the ma
chimes explains why the slogan of
the pilots, "the plane must go
through" is a boast which comes
true.
