OF Interest to Farmers
by County AgeutE. c. Durde)

entire analysis would be big write
up if covered at all in detail. The
highlights however, are being given
here.
The average of the % farms show
that there are 1876 acres in crops, with
1875 in potatoes; "a acre in aspata-
gus; l.3 acres in grain; is acre in
strawberries; 8 acres in hay; A. acres
in tree fruits; ST. COWS; 2.3 hogs; and
81 chickens on the average farm.
These averages are for the % farms
but in some instances, as in straw
berries for instance; but five of the
farmers had strawberries, which meant
that there was an average Of one acre
of strawberries on the farms with
berries.
The receipts from the farm studies
showed that the following percentage
came from the, various enterprises:
tree fruits 52.3; strawberries 1.3; as
paragus g.; potatoes 4.8; dairy lis;
other livestock Sc; eggs and poultry
III; other sources S; percentage re-
ceipts other crops 81; percentage live
stock increase IL.
The average farm income for the
% farms was $127O.7O. The average
interest allowed at six percent.
amounted to $576.56 which leaves a
labor income of $6o4.14 as the average
for the % farms, Keep in mind that
labor; income is what the farmer
earns by his labor is separate from
investment.
In addition to his labor income he
also has what the farm contributes to
the family living which for the aver
age family on number of studies
has been shown to be between six
and eight, hundred dollars. On the
average farm then for the study,
as compared to the man living in
town having to pay house-rent, and
water, and purchases all Of his meat,
milk, groceries, ETC., the farmer would
have say $4,000 living from the farm,
plus his $694.14 as against the average
salary of the working man in town.
If the farmer did not owe on his
farm, which is rare we believe in this
county, then he would have the adj
ditional S576.56. IF, however, he does
| have debts this should take care of
any interest charge which he has.
There, Of course is considering vari-
alton on income from farm to
farm. The lowest labor income that
we have in record which shows a
loss of around $1975.00; another one
shows loss Of $13oo.oo; with two
others showing losses of little over
100000 These are figured on the
labor income basis. Going to the
other extreme however, we have re-
cords which show a labor income Of
over $5600.00; one over $2700.00; one
over $2300.OO; another over 100000
another around $4,000 from that. or
down as low as $4,000.
The purpose of this survey was t
try to get at the actual incomes OF
i farms in the county so that these in
comes and the sources could be an
alysed with the farmer with the ide;
of taking records from the men who
are securing good incomes and pos

OFFICE To TRY
4-HOUR DAY

Typists who work eight hours
a day soon grow tired and break
down, and executives, too, labor
ing through long days lose many
years of their lives, E. E. budding,
president of the Prisoners Relief
Society, 201 E st. N. w., believes,
and in consequence he has put
his office staff on a four-hour-a-
day schedule.
The Department of Justice was
notified of the change in office
hours of the society today. MI.
budding said the office will be
kept open on Sunday mornings
for prisoners to have their re-
ports signed without loss of time
from work The hours selected
for the office staff to work are

STILL
OLDF0RTH',
At MARKET
Three-Weeks' Stay Permits
Use of Curb Privilege; Hope
Remains for New Market

The ghost of Center Market
today threw it's protecting arm
over the one remaining branch
of it's activities.
Along it's B Street curb, nearly
go farmers appeared shortly
after dawn, ready to do business
at the same old stand, refusing
to believe their customers would
desert them, even though the big
interior market is gone.
Stay Is Granted
The farmers have obtained a
three-weeks' stay before they also
have to go away from the place
which the Federal Government
wants for one of it's monumental
new triangle structureS-the De-
partment of Justice Building.
They have made arrangements
with the contractor, who will
wreck the market soon, to keep
on to the last minute. They
will individually pay him As
cents a day for the privilege of
selling their wares along the
curb, just as they have been
doing to the Department Of Agri-
culture for long time.
To Pay Daily
They are going to be on "pay-
as-you-enter" system, each farmer
paying his money daily as he
takes his place along the curb row.
They do not object to this pay
ment, being glad to have a place
for doing business until they can
make some other arrangement.
The farmers have implicit trust
that Congress, or somebody, will
look out for them. Their dream
of a new farmers market in the
Southwest, authorized by Con-
gress, remains unrealized. There
is no place for them near Conven-
ton Hall Market or Western Mar
ket. They would face election the
moment they parked their wagons
along the curb near these points.
Farmers Are Hopeful
They are also faced with the ne
cessity of taking out a District
huckster's license if they try to do
business outside of the old Center
Market area. This license is too
high for many of them to pay.
The farmers don't know where
they are going when they are
finally elected from the market
curb. They have many promises,
however, that the District Com
missioners will make some proVis-
ion for them.

Bedroom Furnished
In Half-Ga[LOn
Bottle

Mark Payne, '4501 Clay st.
N. E., exhibited a half-gallon
vinegar bottle with a complete
bedroom set inside it at the
office of The Washington Times
today.
Payne said all the furniture,
tapestry, pictures on the wall of
the bottle and crockery were
put into the receptacle through
its small neck. He said the
bed. bureau, chairs, and othel
things were knocked down"
and put into the neck in pieces.
With rods and wires, he said he
put them together again inside
the bottle and pasted them to
the floor Of the receptic1e.
The mouth Of the bottle is
now closed with an electric
bulb, similar to those used II
decorating Christmas trees.

AS to see me as all
that; Lhey shall not be kept
waiting in the cold. Bring
them in"
Both men, Charles T. Ruby, a
trainman at Washington Termi-
nal, and Arthur DeMars, an in.
Surance man, were rather more
than surprised when informed
that the President would receive
them Immediately. When they
entered, Mr.. Hoover thanked them
for their evidence Of good will,
and invited them to a breakfast
Of scrambled eggs, bacon, rolls
and coffee at the White House.
About the time the two early
birds were leaving the White
House, John w. Hunefeld, g.
year-old painter, who has been
the first in line at the public re-
ceptions for five years, began his
long wait at the northwest gate.
"Um," ummed Mr.. Hunefeld in
satisfaction" first one here
again"
Women Among Earliest
White House guards did not
dampen his spirit by telling him
that two arrivals had already been
ushered into the executive man
sion and been served breakfast.
Andy Mack, student at Gallaudet,
and Sergt. Francis E. Cole, First
Division veteran, soon joined Mr..
Hunefeld.
The Misses Dorothy Long, OF
Sturgeon, Mo-. and Ethel Bradish,
Of Malone, N. Y, were next in
line, and the first members of
their sex at the White House,
Both work in the Veterans Bu-
reau.
Mr.. Mack was quite willing that
the two young ladies should go
to the head of the line, but Mr..
Hunefeld refused to yield his posi-,
ton. Back in 1925 he had allowed
q woman to precede him. and his
very first New Year resolution
thereafter was never to yield his
place again.
Reception Is firing
At l o'clock in the afternoon
the long line started through the
White House doors, which had
been thrown wide open to the pub
lie. 1t was an ordeal for both the
President and the First Lady, but
they bore up well, and the hand
shakes and greetings all callers re-
ceived were the heartiest in years.
Every 10 minutes the line was
halted while Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover
took a three-minute rest. Never
theleSS, when it was over they
seemed quite exhausted.
Mr.. Hunnefeld, who was first to
enter the Executive Mansion when
the public reception began, walked
through the foyer, where the Ma.
rine Band played constantly,
through the corridor, the dining
room, the red room and finally
into the blue room, where the
President and First Lady greeted
him with broad smiles.
The line that followed Mr..
Hunefeld through the blue room
was composed of men and women
of every race and nationality.
The movement of the line often
w-OrhaIted while the President
or Mrs. Hoover talked with some
child. One of them, little Mary
Hoover, 8 years old, of Silver
Spring, Md, gave the Chief
Executive a volume entitled,
Heal Thyself." She hoped it
would be sent to Herbert Hoover,
~ who is in North Carolina
oerating from tuberculosis.

D. {. BILLS
Many Vital Measures Face
Almost Hopeless Chance OF
Passing Present Congress

With the holidays past, Con"
gress is preparing to reconvene
Monday with host of local mat
ters waiting expectantly but al
most hopelessly for action at the
busy short session.
Half a dozen important District
bills are on the Senate calendar,
while a dozen more are in COM
mittee process. The Senate Dis
trict Committee will endeavor to
expedite pending measures in or
der to place them before the full
Senate for early action.
Vital Questions Impend
Senator Arthur Capper, of
Kansas. chairman of the District
Committee, intends to hold pub
lie hearings in the very near
future on the new traffic bill and
the bill amending the Borland
law. These measures, in the
minds of the District Commis-
sioners, are of vital necessity to
the city.
Both are new measures and
both are highly controversial. It
is therefore problematical whether
they can be pushed through the
crowded legislative mill during
this Congress. Public hearings
will be held by the committee
either next week or the week fol
lowing.
The committee has already ad-
vanced to the calendar stage sew
eral important local bills, but
chances for many of these is like
wise slim.
d. c. Dry Bill Advanced
The Senate steering committee
has given the new prohibition law
for the city tentative place on
the list of measures to be con-
sldered by the Senate. However,
= there is disposition to debate
this measure at length it will be
displaced.
BY unanimous consent the Sen
ate can any day consider the bill
authorizing a merger of the gas
companies, the bill authorizing a
merger of the street railway com
panieS, or the measure curbing
the power of the courts in acting
upon appeals from decisions of
the public utilities commission.
Unless there is change of heart
on the part of some Senators,
none of these measures will be
acted upon in the near future.

THREE BILLS
WILL SEEK
POWER
Texan Asks Use of Army,
Navy, and Marines to Aid
In Prohibition Enforcement

Congress should give President
Hoover power to use the Army,
Navy and State militias to en-
force the prohibition, anti-nar-
cotic and alien laws if it sin
cerely believes in law enforce
ment, Representative Blanton
Cd, of Texas, declared today.
AS one of the militant prohibi-
tionists of the House, Representa-
tive Blanton issued his demands
for more and better enforcement
as an acceptance Of the challenge
of the wet bloc" which is driving
for repeal or modification.
Will Not Compromise
There can be no compromise,
the militant Texan asserted. He
derided reports that dry forces
may seek a compromise if the
WickerSham Law Enforcement
Commission should recommend
modification of the present pro-
hibition laws.
Three bills will furnish the
cornerstone of a drive opened by
Representative Blanton for better
enforcement. One places the
Army, Navy and militia at the
disposal of the President; an
other provides that diplomats
who refuse to obey the prohibl-
ton laws shall be sent home,
and the third provides for i'm
peachment of every Federal ottl-
Ger who purchases intoxicating
liquors. Explaining his proposal
Representative Blanton said:
"Must Uphold Law"
Because they have taken q
solemn oath to support and de-
fend the Constitution, my resO-
luton constitutes it cause for
impeachment and removal from
office for any executive officer
member of the judiciary, Sena'
tor, Representative in Con-
gress, officer or enlisted man in
the Army, Navy or Marine
Corps, or any other emplOye Of
the Government, to purchase
intoxicating liquors from boot
logger, or to violate or to CON-
Spire with any person to violate,
the Eighteenth Amendment.
Congress furnishes annually
to the President, the Coast
Guard, secret agents, and
money to enforce the narcotic
and prohibition laws and to
suppress smuggling. These facili-
ties are wholly inadequate. MY
resolution authorizes and di-
rects the President to use and
employ the Army, the Navy,
the militia of the several States,
and the resources of the Gov
ernment in suppressing all snug
