A STATIC POPULATIONS.

What must have struck the care- full reader as an unusually frank statement regarding population pos abilities was that part of the farm production report by the U. s. De- partment of Agriculture. From the early days to the present the belief has been widespread that the popu- lation Of the United States would continue to increase, until in the fu- ture it would have . population of. say. half a billion. Indeed, so the fanciful estimates had it, our popula- ton would far outrun our available food supply. and we would become . food importing nation.
 If Dr. o. E. Baker. the Washing ton economist, is correct, this will not happen. His thesis is plausible. Since 1920. he shows, the birth rate in the nation has been declining rapidly; and it needs only to con- ttnue decreasing four per thousand which he declares is likely-when the population becomes static. The stationary population will be reach- ed. he declares. in from 50 to 75 years. when the nations total will stay at between 17S.0O0,000 and 200. .O00, 900 people. D'" '."-.
 This figure is far removed from the teeming millions that have been prophesied. The outlook comes, too. at . time when farm production has increased per capita and per acre. It leads to the assumption that the United States will never need to be- come an importer of the more basic foods.
 The economists conclusion as to the reason for the declining birth
 
 rate confirms to the explanations given by other scientists and is based upon observation and statistics. The declining birthrate appears to be associated with tho country's in- creasins prosperity and per capita wealth. In those states where the per capita wealth is larger than the average the birth rate is lower; in states where the per capita wealth is smaller than the average, the birth rate is higher"
 This observation is incont esta ble. It is seK-evident to anyone's obser- vation. The big families Invariably arc found among the poor: and when the youth from such progenitors ad vance in life and join the so-called middle class. their families in turn usually are smaller. In the early days of the republic, when almost every one was poor, big families were com mon everywhere. The descendants of these early settlers enjoying com forts and luxuries that were unknown in . past day. invariably have small ! families.
 It seems to be law of nature and if 50, 1t will operate to pre- vent the world from ever becomins overpopulated.

DEFINING THE POCKET VETO

DEFINING THE POCKET VETO
 When Congress passsd the Muscle 1hoalssbill President Coolidge failed ts sign it within ten days; indeed, he failed ts sien 1t at all. Thus he did ast return 1t to Congress with q veto, asr as law duly signed. The proce~ was termed . pocket veto"
 But 1t 70 happened that Congress had passed the bill during the first session: that is to cay. after it's first 1eedon. 1t ''recessed'' for . pariod, and then had anoth- -1r session. Congress. in the vernacular of Washington, did Mot finally adjourn until the last ses- Men was over.
 The Constitution specifics that whea the President fails to sign or return . bill with his veto ten days after adjournment. the bill is auto nsAticaliy killed. Does this adjourn Aent mean the adjournment of a session, or the final Adjournment of Csngress?
 Unlt1o one understands this nemsaclature and practice 1t is dif- ficult to sAuge the decision of the Supreme Court. which finally has de- etded iA favor Of the commonly &C., cepttd view that . pocket veto is just n much a veto ten days after . session of Congress as ten days following adjournment.
 Much was made of this techni- cality by Senator Norris. It was not deciaed upon the bass of the Muscle Shoals legislation, however. but Ia regard to an Indian case. The decision applies to Muscle Shoals. however. with equal force.
 Final determination of the techni. cality. of course, made no difference h the Muscle Shoals case. as Mir. C1oli&ee did not return the bill after the Adjournment any more than he fsilAa te return it after the first ses. sior. It is quite an important step forward. however, to have had this technicAlity finally and definitely 1ettled by the Supreme Court. The decision is numbered among the half dozen or more of unusually i'm portant rulings which the high couf, haA had occasion to hand down during the past half year.

AGRICULTURE IN CONNECTICUT

In the popular conception of things agricultural Connecticut is supposed to be far inferior to the production of western states The only point about this k that it com pares faverably with at least three of them.
 The value of Connecticut's products from tho soil in 1923 is announced as having been t76,ooO. 900: this in- -cluding the value of crops and live stock products combined. It is slightly more than the value during 1927.
 Four western states of far larger size than Connecticut produced very little more than this figure in the value of farm products. These were Wyoming. Utah and New Mexico. which produced considerably less than $l00. .00o, 900 for the year, and Nevada. which produced less than half the crop value of Connecticut.
 Considering the value of farm products in relation to size, that Of Connecticut is far in advance to these western states. Massachusetts, which is also much smaller than the western states mentioned, produced considerably more than any of them. it's product value being s101. 900, 900 for the year.
 The story still is being told of a passing stranger in New England stopping to sympathize with q farm CT seen picking stones in a field. and to which the latter replied: Listen. brother. I aih't as poor as look. don't own this place"
 That tickles the disabilities of the ~estern folk. But what kind of boulders do they pick in Wyoming. Utah. New Mexico or Nevada?
 All of which is not supposed to indicate that Connecticut ia an out standing farm state. Nor is this the case in any of the other New Eng land states, although Maine with s1ob,ooo,oo0 is not to be regarded lishtly-althoush the value Of crop. in Maine in 1928 was only s5 per cent Of the value of its output ir 1927: only South Dakota with | drop to S3 per cent of the 1921 value. had a worse record.
 To give the West its due, ol course, one must mention the in. comparable record Of Iowa. standing at the head Of the list of American agricultural commonwealths. witt I.e17,00O,00o in products for tn. uHu IlUSSly lUIIONI With slightly less than A billior stood Illinois. she in turn being fol lowed by Kansas. Missouri, Wiscon sin and California.
 But two eastern states. New Yorl and Pennsylvania. are not so badl, of as agricultural producers. Nev York produced $s50.Oo0. 900. an, Pennsylvania 3562,00O 900. Either 0 these states produced more in asri cultural products than All Of Nev England combined.
 And by the way. the total pro duction of the New England state in 1928 was as follots:

A and B are congenial letters,

 Debit and Credit. Clever and
 Dumb; J is hick, and R is bum,
 E and o are creatures of sound, NJ is the lad who makes things hum. And X marss the spot where the
 body was found. z is the clown of alphabetters,
 Always lively and never Elum, B and c are a pair of fretters,
 w hammers the big bass drum; Twenty-Five of the pack have clumb
 To useful station and honored
 ground, But day after day. till Kingdom
 come.
 X marks the spot where the body
 was found. x in algebra forges letters
 To which poor lasses and lads suc-
 cumb, X makes sensible people debtors To mystic symbols and similar scum: Triple < is q brand of rum, DIX tortures the radio hound And. down in the depths of the dirtest stun, X marks the spot where the body vas found.
