.D|N0SAUR TRACKS
 FOUND IN CANADA
New Northern Limit Appears to
 Have Been Established

Ottawa, Dec. 6 LP)-A new north ern limit for the range of dinosaurs has been set by the discovery of foot prints of these prehistoric animals along the Peace river in British Columbia.
 C. NJ. Sternberg, Canadian govern ment palaeontologist, has found more than 400 tracks of at least five distinct species in the rocky canyon which the Peace river has cut through the foothill of the rockies.
 The largest tracks, apparently made by an animal 35 or more feet in length, are 25 inches long. The smallest tracks of six inches long, evidently left by animals about P feet in length. Sternberg made moulds of some of the tracks which are about two feet square and sunk into the rock about seven inches. This region. the most northerly in the world where tracks Of dinosaurs have been found, was in pre-histor- ic times, 8 series of fresh water lakes which geologists say poured into a huge salt sea which reached from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arc tic. Fossilized ferns, palms and other sub-tropical vegetation were found by Sternberg in the locality.
 The absence of traces of dinosaur bones near where the foot prints were found was remarked by Stern Jy, est deposit of dinosaur bones in Canada are found, there were no footprints.

HARTFORD COUNTY
 FARMS DECLINING
Decrease at Same Rate aS in
 Other Parts Of State
By GEORGE H. MANNING

tNaSHlnRtOn buTedu, IN. b. HeTdluJ
 Washington, D. C.. Dec. G. Diminution of farm lands in Hart ford county continues at about the same ratio discovered in other dis tracts of Connecticut. it is disclosed in bulletins of the department of commerce, bureau of the census, re- leased today. The statistics are based on facts gathered in the na- tional census of this year and that of 1920.
 The enumerators found 17,163 farms in the state this year as against o2,655 in the last decennial census. Their report for Hartford county reveals the following facts; 1880, 3,743; 1920, 4,70O. Following the natural upward trend in values. the appraisal for the farms of the state mounted s37,439,390 to a new total of s227,710, PIT. and in Hart ford county, valuation for this year was placed at s54,957,2S2 ,an increase of $2,312,137.
 That farming acreage in the county is more desirable than else where is indicated in the report showing a valuation of s22O.17 as against s15164 for a state average. This, it is believed, is traceable to the tobacco productivity of certain of the Hartford county areas which continue to ship about four-fifths of all tobacco grown in Connecticut.
 With the more extensive use of automobiles and motor equipment for farm purposes. the number of horses has decreased about 50 per cent in the state. and in Hartford county from S,736, 10 years ago, to 4,954 this year.
 Although dairy farming appears to be on the decline in other sections, Hartford county has forged ahead, the statistics indicate. Enumerators found 3o,306 cattle. an increase of 1914, and 246,663 chickens or 47,45S more than in the last census Their report for the entire state showed sharp decline in the number of cattle and a small increase in the number of chickens.
 Production Of selected crops has shown a falling off following about the same ratio in the state and county.

search Department of the Ameri.

The national motoring body
said that weight is used as the

90 states, while horsepower is
the basis in 13 states. Other
methods used are: Flat rate.

Car owners paid a total Of
1924, 794, 953 in registration and
license fees in 1929 on a total of
%, 542, 1O8 passenger cars.
Registration of motor cars.
which is preliminary to the secur
ing of license tags, is now requir'
ed in every state.
The statement of the A. A. A.
says:
While the majority of states
issued license plates through
state officials. some are issued
through county and local Of
ficials. In a number of states
A. A. A. motor clubs have ar
ranged to aid the distribution Of
tags as a service to car owners,
but this cooperation is also OF
great assistance to authorities.
"Generally it is required that
the registration certificate shall
accompany the car at all times.
but in Alabama, Georgia. Kan
sas, Louisiana, Minnesota. Mis-.
souri,, Montana, New Mexico,
Ohio and Tennessee. it need not
be carried.
In several of the states a car
cannot be registered until cert.
ificate of title is furnished, show
ing that it is owned by the regis
trant. This latter law has done
much to curb the movement of
stolen automobiles"
