Farm Population Gains in Ne7U Trend

decrease crops, yet the overproductlcn, IN turn,
defeats the very end the farmer seeks to attain
On the other hand, the general farmer, living
within few miles of a city and working
small land holding which requires minimum
Of hired labor, usually passes through times Of
financial stress in much better shape than his
larger fellow agriculturist. The labor question
often is settled by an exchange of help be-
tween two or more farmers who combine to
harvest each others crops or haul them to
town on a turnabout basis
The farmer Of this type seldom has to buy
any food from the store other than sugar,
tea coffee and such things which he cannot
produce. He can buy these essentials, if he
has no cash, by an exchange Of some of his
own surplus products. If the price of eggs is
down, he may find he can sell his fruit at a
good price, or perhaps he can dispose Of some
farm-made butter. He may have an excess
Of hay and the hay crop of the Nation might
as a whole be short and he can sell that at
a profit. II milk prices are way down. per-
hapS rainy season may have rotted the
potato crops in some Of the" larger potato
areas and he can sell his excess at a price
which will go far to compensate him for the
loss of his usual milk revenue.
Such examples can be cited to great extent.
They illustrate the sort of condition which
once made of farming undertaking, which,
if not productive of large amounts of cash,
at least PROVIDED fooo sheiter ana warmth IN
Winter, besides healthy outdoor life.
1t is possible that this new type of life to
which many jobless factory workers have been
driven through force OF circumstances may
come to appeal to them as far more attractive
than their former life in the cities. Rural
life, once devoid of entertainment, no longer
is dun and stogy, for the radio and the moving
picture and the ability to get around which
the automobile has brought give the farmer
ample opportunity to amuse himself and de-
velop his mind as well as his body. No longer
need person living in farming community
"rusticate," as the old saying had It.

Many Banana Types

THE banana is not, as generally believed,
limited to two or three varieties. but is
really large family Of fruit, edible raw
and some requiring cooking. The usual type
sold in this country is the Martinique, although
the red banana has some sale.
The fruit is believed to be native to India, but
its development has been general throughout the
tropics Practically all the fruit is picked green,
the export type because of the superior keeping
qualities of the fruit and that which is used
locally to keep it from the birds.
single bunch of bananas, weighing some
times as much as 80 pounds, is the entire
yield Of a single plant. After bearing, the
plant is cut to the ground and new shoots start
up. When they reach the height of three or
four feet they are transplanted far enough
apart to permit them to grow without touching
other trees. The height of the trees varies from
10 to 40 feet, the maturity being reached from
IL to 18 months after transplanting
On some of the South Sea Islands the banana
Is the principal food, being prepared in a variety
OF ways. One type of banana is used largely
for food, but Is always cooked, as it is not
edible in the raw state. This particular type
has dark skin and thick, heavy salmon
colored flesh which is eaten.

THE continued fow Of population from the
cities to the farms has continued this
year as last year. in excess of the flow from
farm to city, until it is estimated that by the
end of this year the farm population of the
United States viii have reached a total almost
as great as the peak of farm population in
1910, which was 9207700
The first three months of this year 432. 900
persons left farms for urban life while 564 900
passed them going in the direction of the
farms. In addition, an excess of births over
deaths brought the total increase for the first
three months to 263,oo0.
These figures do not take into consideration
the number of persons, believed to be large,
who have moved outside organized communities
for the purpose of taking up what might be
termed subsistence farming In other words,
they are engaged in gardening to supply their
own family needs, perhaps raise few chickens
and have a COW.
These people, direct result Of lack of fac
tory and other employment in the cities, are
of the type who may ultimately turn into
small, general-type farmers. although they do
not now come under the Department of Agri-
cultures rating as farmers.
The solution of the farming problem, ap-
preached from SO many different angles, is
believed by many to lie rather in the return
to general farming than in the present method
CT specializing. 1t Is believed, for instance,
that the first duty of farm is to provide
subsistence to the owner Of the farm, with the
marketing of his surplus products as the
ondary consideration.

Offensive Against
Kidnapings Planned

Chicago, Jan. 20.-(Pl-A new o.
fensive against the alarmingly grow
ing source Of ransom kidnapings has
been launched by Chicago's principal
crime fighting forces-the crime COM
mission. the Secret Six and the
states attorneys office.
The spur was this weeks kidnap-
ing of Howard A. Woolverton,
wealthy South Bend. Ind, manufac-
turer, released late Wednesday after
being held for $4,000 ransom. Chi
cago officials expressed belief a
Chicago gang was responsible.
Frank j. Loesch, 80-year-old cru
sader against crime and director ..
the Chicago crime commission, was
among the first to enlist in the new
drive.
Col. Robert Isham Randolph, di-
rector Of the Secret Six, said inform
alton his underworld agents cleaned
would be pressed into use to act as
q boomerang on a midwest kidnap
ring should 1t try to carry out its
threats on five prominent Chicago
ans, whose names he would not re-
veal.
The states attorneys office, al
ready holding several suSpe c e i
members of an extortionist syndicate
said it would broaden out its search
for accomplices as Louis Alterie
charged with its direction, was being
returned from Colorado to fake trial.

Rural Organization
Opposes Minneapolis

Watertown, Mimi, Jan. 29.-(AP)
Claiming Minneapolis was at
tempting to "place a barrier in the
way of country products" nearly 800
creamery operators and farmers Of
rural Henepin, Carver and Wright
counties organized an association
here Thursday night to combat 9
new milk ordinance passed by the
Minneapolis city council.
The ordinance vetoed by the mayor
provides that all milk sold there
must be pasteurized and bottled
either within the city limits of Min
neapolis or on the farm where it is
produced.
A revamped ordinance was intro
duced before the Minneapolis coun-
Gil Friday.
It provides that milk pasteuriza-
ton plants, except those operated by
farmers for milk produced on their
own farms, must be located inside the
city limits. One modification pro-
vides that it shall not be operative
until Feb. /, 1888.
