OF FARM
POPULATION LESS
DURING YEAR 1929

The farm population in the United
States was more stable during 1929
than it had been in years previous
according to estimates furnished by
the Bureau of Agricultural Econom-
les, United States Department of Agri-
culture. The estimates are based on
the movement from the cities to the
farms and from the farms 10 the
cities and figures show that ] SIG. 900
persons moved from farms to cities
last year as compared with 1873 900
in 1928; 1.97S.000 in 1927, and a peak
of 2,155,600 in 1926. The city to farm
movement was also smaller, being
placed at 1857 900 persons last year
compared with 1,347 900 in 1925 and
1,374 900 in 1927.
Births on farms last year are esfi-
mated al 631 900 and deaths al 2s1.-
600. Taking these figures into ac-
count along with the movement 10 and
from farms. the bureau places the
total farm population on January 1.
1880. at 27-222 900 compared to 81
4s1 900 on January /, 1929, or de-
crease of 269, 900.
The bureaus figures for the past
year show that in the New England
States 81 900 persons left the farms
and $4,000 returned TO farms; Middle
Atlantic states, 139. 900 from farms,

Little Fox Terrier Is Judged
Best among Nearly 5000 Dogs
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
N EW YORK, February 13.-Pend-
nj ley Calling of Blarney, swanky
little lady whose tribe is as
much a part of the Manhattan
scene as Grover Whalen's top hat, last
night trotted out of Madison Square
Garden as grand champion of the big
gest dog show in America.
Before gallery of nearly 10000
chuckling spectators. she was judged
the best dog in the fifty-fourth annual
show of the Westminster Kennel Club
And that means just about the best dog
this side of London. There we're nearly
5000 dogs in the show, from all parts
of the country.

Lola'S performance in the ring was n
sensation at the show. Without collar
or leash she went through her PAGES,
obeying without the slightest hesitation
every low-voiced command of her
trainer, George Simpson.
Lola is a fine example of the new
kind of training that is being given
shepherds. A few years ago everyone
wanted his shepherd to be a police dog,
which is how the breed acquired that
name. 1t developed, however, that a
dog trained for police work and conse-
quently imbued with an intense one
man loyalty and a distrust of all
strangers, was not an ideal house dog.
Many of them were badly trained, too.

orehand D7iue Become World Tennis Championship Possibility

Ground strokes are the basis of tennis.
A good baseliner generally should win
over a good net player, who has nothing
but his volley. And Doeg IN the past
has had little save his volley and Serv-
ice. and sometimes his volley has failed
him badly.
When His Game Collapsed.
When Doeg first arrived in the East
some five years ago every one hailed
him as the next national champion.
But after two seasons of fair success
his game began to peter out, ana 1t
looked as though he were on the tobog-
gan for good. He simply couldn't hit n
forehand drive, and this so discouraged
him that he lost confidence in himself
and his whole game went to pieces.
Last year, however, in spite of all the
discouraging things said about his
career, Doeg appeared in the East
again, determined to redeem himself.
He started badly by losing to Eddie
Jacobs twice, Al Wilmington, Del, and
in the Intercollegiate at Merton. His
star was completely eclipsed, 1t seemed.
But Johnny didn't give up. He did
some thinking and decided to make a
big change in his game. For years ne
had been trying to hit drive and
couldn't, except on the asphalt surfaces
in California. So he made up his mind
to use the chop, the stroke he had en-
ployed the first two seasons he played
in the East.
The difference was amazing. IN
stead of being a chopping block for
every player, Doeg began to go up the
ladder swiftly. He won the Nassau in
vitation tournament, the New England
championship at Agawam Hunt, the
Longwood Bowl and the Seabright Bowl,
and he was runner up at Southampton.
To cap remarkably successful season
he won the national doubles with Lott,
and gave Tilden the hardest battle he
had in the national singles, leading him
2 sets to /.
Thus the chop stroke, which has been
looked down on in tennis has changed
the outlook for Doeg. He used the
chop almost entirely during the grass
court season in 1929, and such was his
accuracy in placing it that he beat
