washington. March 26.-You can't
beat the Department Of Agriculture
when it comes to finding out things.
It's only rival is the Department Of
Commerce and almost anyone would
agree that what the Department OF
Agriculture finds out Is more inter-
csting than what the Department Of
Commerce finds out.
Every day the Department OF Agri-
culture announces something or other
and sometimes several things at once.
It has just recently estimated that
The farm population OF the country
dropped from $4,000 900 men. women
and children In 1909 to 27,5l1 900 In
1929. despite an excess OF farm births
over farm deaths.
A month ago 1t announced that we
produced nearly l7.000,O0O.OO pounds
of meat during 1923 and that only an
abundance Of pork production Of
which increased 854,OOO,OOO pounds
over 1928, prevented a possible meat
shortage last year, although per cap
ita meat consumption dropped IL
pounds.
The department has also recently
discovered and announced that: Cat
tle-breeding operations in Taylor
county, Kentucky, are now OH a
strictly purebred bull basis, following
an organized drive against scrub and
grade bulls.
The Interstate Early Potato Com
rnittee has appointed A. E. Meeker as

are selling hold less than other berry
