RIVER SLIPS BACK
FROM SPEEDWAY
Wind Whipped Water Over
Sea WaII-Rain Due
Again Tomorrow.

The rising river, swept by a high
wind from the east, Tapped over the
sea wall in East Potomac Park yester-
day and last night, depositing sea
weed along the Speedway.
The wind, which was recorded at
more than 40 miles an hour at the
airport, broke eff several trees on Hams
Point and broke five or six small boats
from their moorings In Washington
Channel. Harbor police captured the
drifting launches during the evening
and park police stood ready to close
East Potomac Park as the water threat
ened to rise over the sea wall and in
undate the point.
The fords in Rock Creek Park were
closed as the creek rose, but little DAM
age was reported in any Of the parks
save for few broken trees and some
debris which must be cleaned away.
Rainfall I'll Inches.
The Weather Bureau said 2.71 inches
of rain fell in the city during the four
days since the rain started early
Sunday.
At high tide last night the Eastern
Branch crept over roadways in Ana
costa Park. necessitating the closing
OF roadWays between Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and Anacostia Bridges.
With the high-pressure area and
cooler temperatures that today brought,
however, the rain ceased, and the river
was almost back to normal The brisk
northwest breeze which followed the
high east winds Of yesterday had al
most died down at noon, and fair"
conditions again prevailed.
May Rain Tomorrow.
The fair weather will continue
through today and early tomorrow. the
Weather Bureau predicted, but another
disturbance is due to bring rain again
late tomorrow and overnight. Late Sat-
urday, however. is due to bring another
clear period. which will probably con-
tinue over the week end with low tenn
peratures
Weather Bureau forecasters said the
lowest temperatures of the season prob
ably will come either late Saturday or
sometime Sunday, possibly below the
freezing mark

The Grand canyon is a national

the bottom of which flows river,

(and a geologlst, like an astronomer,
will say anything) that the action
of this river in cutting its way

lions of years has created canyon.

plaster cast made therein, when it
was taken out and set up it would

wide, and, in places, one mile high

Cost of Farming
Cut by Tractors
Assertion Is Made That
Their Use Means Low
ering of Expenses.

Now that Illinois farmers have
increased the number Of tractors
on their farms more than 81 per
cent since 1925. one of the best
ways for them to cut down operat-
ing costs is to adjust their power
more accurately to the needs of
the individual farms.
This Is shown in a study of 30
central Illinois farms, all of which
used general-purpose tractors In
1881. The Is farms that had re-
placed the most horses by adding
a tractor had labor, power and ma
chinery costs that were 50 a crop
acre less than they were on the -
farms where the tractors displaced
the fewest horses.
The Is farms that had replaced
the most horses with tractors had
labor, power and machinery costs
that averaged S7.6G a crop acre,
while the Is farms with the least
number of horses displaced by
tractors had similar costs totaling
S9G6 an acre. This saving of 81
an acre is an item of considerable
Importance in a time when dollars
are so valuable.
Operators Of farms in the first
group displaced an average OF six
horses when they added a general
purpose tractor, but the operators
of the second group of farms dis
placed an average OF only a little
better than two horses with each
tractor.
Where a large number OF horses
were used In addition to the trac-
tor. there was also an unnecessary
duplication of other machinery.
Such farms had a machinery In
vestment of S12.9S an acre as COM
pared with $3.50 on the farms
where more horses had been dis
placed. On the farms where the
greater number of horses was dis
placed, the remaining horses
worked GO crop acres each and the
tractors on these farms were used
GAG hours a year In contrast, the
horses on the other group Of farms
operated only 81 crop acres each
and the tractors were used only
447 hours during the year.
The farms where the larger num-
Der of horses were replaced aver
aged 327 acres, or 100 acres more
than the farms in the other group.
The large farms also had less live
stock an acre than the smaller
ones. The generalpurpose tractors
were used 10 the best advantage
