New Start for Agriculture

The farmer Is q good deal better
off economically than he was a year
ago. Agriculture department figures
show that farm income last year rose
by fully $1,000, 900 900, with farm pur-
chasing power rising to 80 per cent Of
the pre-war level. as compared with
So per cent In 1888.
Benefit payments by the AAA ran
to little more than $4,000, 900 for
the year.
This indicates that the cumbersome
and occasionally irritating AAA
scheme worked out rather better than
some Of US expected. In fact, it leads
one to suspect that this program has
done about all that it can do, and
that further advances for the farmer
must come from . revival Of Indus
trial activity.

We Are Getting Old

The outstanding feature Of present.
day America seems to be the earnest
effort that people are making to un-
derstand the society in which they are
uving.
Because the last few years taught
us SO forcibly that the present Is the
child Of the past, we are also begin
ming to discover that the future viii
be the child of today. We make GER
tain decisions and adopt certain
social habits now-and q decade
hence. or two decades, these decisions
and habits will have consequences at
which we hardly SO much q guess.
DR.. o. E. Baker, senior economist
Of the department Of agriculture,
pointed out recently that we are about
to undergo very profound changes In
the matter Of population growth.
For about Is years to come, he says,
we will live in q kind Of national
middle age; then our population will
begin to decline, the decline will be
progressive-and we shall suddenly
find ourselves an old nation, facing
III the problems which old age brings
to any living organism.
Now all this seems to be mixed up,
IN . very peculiar fashion, with our
habits Of life. For some reason, the
birth rate in the cities u lower than
the birth rate In rural areas. On the
farms and In the small towns, there
are more than enough births to main
tain tho population level; In the cities.
however, the reverse IS true, and In
our larger cities the births even now
lack 80 per cent Of being sufficient to
maintain the population permanently.
The implication. as DR.. Baker points
out, is that . civilization based pri-
marily on an industrial and CONNER
cial system in which the individual
is the economic unit is very likely to
develop declining population.
TO be permanent, 1t must be based
on agriculture, or on some other sys-
TEN in which the family Is the eco
uomic unit.
This is very puzzling, and We prob
ably shall need to know . great deal
more than We know now about the
laws of heredity, and Of human fer
tility generally. before We can fully
understand It.
But It Is z hint that our primary
concern, In the long run, must be not
simply to devise . smoothly working
economic system, but to fashion way
Of life that will bring . broader and
fuller life to the masses Of people.
When we crowd ourselves into cities
and compel millions Of people to live
cramped and narrow lives, We invite
nature to take her revenge-and m.
ture accepts the invitation. We don't
live by bread alone. after Ill.
Those little tables Of population
growth are Z silent warning that, un-
less we make our society less arti-
ficial and bring it back to closer con-
tact with the old realities of the living
earth, we shall pay very bitter pen
atty generation or two later.

BERLIN, Feb. 18-Baroness Ben
ita Won Berg, society beauty, and
Frau Renate Won Natzmer, another
blue-blooded beauty, were behead-
ed today for spying on behalf of a
foreign state.
The executions of the two women
were CARED out at dawn with such
secrecy that it was hours before
the official veil could be penetrated
sufficiently to learn their exact
fate.
AT first, officials said they had
been shot by firing squad. Then
the statement was retracted and it
was admitted the women had gone
to the block, where their heads
were chopped off by silk-hatted
executioner with a medieval battle
axe.
Their necks shaven for death,
they were led into the court yard
of Ploetzensee prison and executed
before a small, carefully chosen
group of witnesses.

latter were Baron George Won Sos

officer whose name was used to
describe the plot which cost the
lives of his one-time love, the bea-
utiful Baroness: Fraulein Won Jena
and another woman secretary of
the Reischswehr whose name was

A woman dancer, Fraulein Kruse.
it was learned, was sentenced to
nine months imprisonment for imp
lication in the case but was releas-
ed, inasmuch as she already had
been in prison for more than that
time during the investigation and
trial.
Another woman whose name was
not ascertained was suspected but
fled before she could be arrested,
and subsequently shot herself.
The official secrecy which sur
rounded the executions was so
great that when officials finally
consented to issue an official
announcement, it did not even say
whether the women were shot or
beheaded, but it was learned def
initely that they were beheaded,

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. 18. UP)-
The first legal step in Bruno Rich

death sentence will be made today
or tomorrow.
A pauper s petition requesting
the state to pay for printing the
trial record will be presented to
Supreme Court Justice Thomas w.
Trenchard. A transcript of 1000
600 words of testimony at the trial
is necessary for the court of errors
and appeals.
While the appeal machinery was
getting under way, Hauptmann rest
ed peacefully in his cell in the death
house OF the state prison. Only a
few feet distance was the door lead
ing TO the electric chair, but the
prisoner seemed unmindful of it.
Col. George l.. Selby, acting prin-
cipal keeper, said Hauptmann had
been quiet at all times. He spends
much time sitting on his cot smok-
ing one cigarette after another.
Resentment OF other prisoners

A decision by the prison board of

Hands Were raised above heads and
the crowd turned and filed back
into the cell houses.
In the van of the mob with Kuy-
kendall were Jim Halsey, Pat Casey
and Henry Stewart, his old cronies
who worked with him in robberies
in Texas and Oklahoma. They,
with a few others jumped into a
visitors car outside the walls and
headed south. Other groups also
found cars and sped away.
Within half-hour, three of them,
Paul White, Leo Bailey and Pete
King, were caught at Sayre, 25 miles
north of Granite. Leslie Long, hold
ing his hands over his head, walked
back TO the prison and surrendered.
Reports Of the break spread ter
ror through the small towns and
hill country in this section. Farm
ers feared the men would terrorize
the countryside. Watch was kept in
many a house all night by farmers
and their sons, shotguns across their

He stated further: Certain pow
