~ George Washington's training
camp on South River.
Watts, nicknamed The Killer" is
handling Jim Pixlee's other charges
as though they were children.
An ambitious l65-pound end, at
tempting to block him, bounded back
like a rubber ball hitting wall, but
managed to slow him. Previously the
Mineola, Tex, giant had succeeded
on every try in smashing through
ends and halfbacks.
Coach Pixlee believes Watts will be
even more effective If reduced to 215
pounds. He is cunning for one of the
positions held down last year by Ed
Clark, captain this season, and Harry
Deming. He ranks with Dale Prather
Frank Lee and Bert Cannefax as one
of the best tackle prospects to enroll
at George Washington in the last
three years.

FARMERS ENJOYING
HIGHEST INCOME IN
YEARS, Study Shows
Northwest States Getting More
Money Than in Any
Year Since 1880

New York, Sept. 2l.-(P)-Cash is
pouring into farm states, and despite
the widespread predictions Of disaster
before the drouth lighted In the mid
die west, 1t now appears that even
some Of the states most seriously AZ
fected are enjoying the highest farm
income In years.
In the northwest, where drouth
conditions received the personal at
tention Of President Roosevelt. ag-
gregate 1894 cash income Of the farm
ers in North and South Dakota, Mon.
tana and Minnesota, including wheat,
corn and hog benefit payments and
proceeds Of the sale Of cattle to the
drouth relief administration, will
probably Be the highest since 1880.
Frederick e. Murphy, American
delegate to recent international wheat
conferences, and publisher Of the Min
neapolS Tribune, said Friday In ex-
PLANTATION Of the remarkable showing
Of the farm states:
"Of course, some cattle have act
ually starved, and hogs have died,
from the lack Of water and feed, but
you must remember that throughout
the drouth area conditions are spotty,
. big percentage Of the farmers have
some crops, many have fair crops, and
prices Of most leading crops have risen
anywhere from so to 400 per cent from
the extremely low levels Of a year and
q half or two years ago. This, to-
Re.her with benefit payments, and
credits from federal agencies, has
placed more cash in the hands Of the
farmers than they have seen in years."
Murphy explained that estimates
based on department Of agriculture
figures indicate aggregate farm cash
income for 1884 for the four northwest
states Of $456,267,l78. OF this total
462,045, 900 represents wheat. corn and
hog benefit payments received on
crop reduction contracts, and $22,7l3,-
178 represents proceeds Of the sale
Of cattle to the drouth relief ad-
ministration.
Farm cash income for this area for
recent years Is estimated as follows:
1929-$8o3 900 900; l930-$674, ~, 900;
ls3l-t445, 900; 1932-$32s, 1874 900:
