"WhO's Who" Statistics.
(New York Times.)

(New York Times)
 The new edition of Who's Who" presents a fresh analysis of the educational equipment of it's growing family study made of the life sketches of 288O5 men and that appeared in the 19281 1929 edition Of that total 1914 failed to furnish sufficient data for their classification The tabuation therefore includes information con- corning 26991 persons. Of that number 19,342, or 7l66 per cent, reported graduation from schools sonferrng the baccalaureate degree in philosophy, etters the arts divinity law science or, in ;luding graduates of West Point and the Naval Academy 874 In addition, 3092 attended college put were not graduated thus raising the "colegan 3ercentage to 85 per cent of the total. Of the emaining 4025 2230 had had a secondary school aducation, while I.79S had had only what the Elementary school affords. This means that 455 per ent of the total population provided 8305 per cent If the personages listed in Who's Who in Am .ricap and that e545 per cent of the population cntributed 1895 per cent.

The Presidents decision that the eco will carry on is certain to meet with the approval of every understanding and thinking American.
 Through the CCC 850OOO young men were given healthful ganful and to large extent productive employment great many of these young men virtually lifted from the sums of large cities hungry desperate hopeless, disillusioned victims the depression. Many had come into young man. hood during the worst stages of the depression and never had experienced actual employment Many less, weary rounds of job-seekng had ground out their spirit, leaving them sick of mind and body.
 The eco enlisted them. In many cases trans planted them far from the sordid surrounding in which they had existed, into a fresh stimulating outdoor environment. For example, groups from New Jersey and New York were taken as far as eastern and western Washington The travel, the inspiration of the scenic wonders were beneficial In camps they were placed under experienced handlers of men, drafted from tn U S. military srvices in many instances. Medical attention was available, good food, manual labor to strengthen fabby bodies drained by inactivity and manutri. tion. Pride in strength. morale corps spirit was built up, healthy competitive athletics and tions encouraged Now it is reported that approximately 10000 young men are leaving these camps each month to reenter business industry and the farm. Ten thousand reclaimed re-generated young men going into, the regular. lines of work again, facing life with reganed health strength sound minds and bodies, and clear, wholesome pefspectives
 President Roosevelts decision to continue the CCC is most commendable and the continuance should maintain long the need for it endures,

Less Embattled Farmers.
(New York Times)


 Precisely year ago the Corn Belt and the Wheat Belt seethed with discontent. Farm strikes" were being organized in seven Western States The Governor of North Dakota preparing to prohibit the shipment of wheat and to call on other GOV ernors to impose similar embargoes. A delegation of Aoffcias of the National Farmers Union and sey- eral holiday associations" had presented at the White House program calling for immediate cur rency inflation a moratorium on farm mortgage foreclosures end the begging" of farm prices "at la level equal to the cost of production
 Today there is little evidence of the dissatsfac- ton which seemed so formidable in the Autumn ot ls33 There is more contentment in the Farm Belt. Average prices of farm commodities, even when measured by the comparatively slow-moving lndex laf the Bureau of Labor Statistics, have advanced Iby g per cent since October of last year Corn Is currently quoted at about 75 cents in the Chicago market, compared with 43 a year ago. and wheat close to s1o0 compared with 84 cents. Cash boun- ties to be paid by the AAA will amount in 1884 to Ian estimated $623 000000 Total farm income IS estimated at nearly billion dollars more this year than last despite the drought More than million loans amounting the aggregate to $1,8O0,OoO,oOo, have been made by the Farm Credit Admin istraton.
 Unlike expenditures for direct relief of unem- ployment and for public works the bulk of the cost of the Roosevelt farm program is not paid by the Treasury. Higher prices for farm com modities come out of the pocket of the individual purchaser. Counties raised by means of process ing taxes imposed specifically for this purpose The loans made by the Farm Credit Administration are ostensiby secured in full by mortgages on farm property The cost of farm relief therefore, is not met primarily by the Government but by the urban districts which pay processing taxes and purchase farm products in the form of foods Whether these districts have been greatly helped, in turn by the expansion of farm market for industrial goods, and whether the whole principle of crop curtailment is not intrnsically unsound, much disputed ques- ltions But there is no doubt of the substantial improvement in the farmers position.
