AGRICULTURAL GEMS RE-
TURNS SHOW BIG INCREASE
IN FARMS


The extent to which there has been
a movement back to the soil since
the second year of the depression is
revealed graphically in the second
and third tabulations of returns
from the Census of Agriculture.
which was started January Q, made
public by the Bureau of the Census,
Washington, on March IS. One
showed 727,494 farms in 474 out of
total of 3,071 counties in the
United States, as compared with
666,O56 in the same counties in
1880, a net increase of 84,607 farms
A report for 288 counties showing
414,613 farms this year as compar-
ed with 384,327 in the same coun-
ties in 1880, a net increase of 49,
823, was released six days earlier
The other report issued March IS
covered an additional 1873 counties
enumerated 312,881 farms in 1895,
as compared with 2S1,729 in the
same counties in 1880, net increase
of 31,7S4. Additional farm census
releases will be issued as rapidly as
returns are received from district
supervisors.

NEW TYPE OF TELEPHONE

"A new type of telephone instru-
ment which includes in the base of
the telephone itself the bell and
other equipment previously mounted
in a separate apparatus box has been
developed through the research ac-
tivities of the Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company for 1884 shows.
Increased efficiency and greatly re-
duced parts feature the new ap-
paratus, according to President Wal
ter S. Clifford. The newly designed
instrument will not only simplify in
stallation, but will also improve the
appearance and arrangement at the
subscribers telephone.
A radically new form of transmits
sion cable adaptable for use either
over head or under ground on heavy
traffic, toll or long distance, routes,
has reached the stage where a large
trial installation is to be made, ac-
cording to the report In this new
form the cable is small and simple
structure. It is equipped with many
intermediate amplifiers and provides
large number of independent cir
cults. In addition the new form of
cable will provide extreme flexibility
of usage for all classes of telephone
and telegraph circuits without neces-
sity for modification Of the outside
plant such as is now required where
certain types of service are to be
provided for. Further, the new type
of cable is expected to be suitable for
television transmission.

Business is definitely better now
than at this time last year. Prac-
tically every industry is increasing
sales, earning moderately higher
profits. Complete figures for Janu-
airy show that the index of industrial
production was at the highest Janu-
airy level since 1880.
The fact remains, however, that in
he view of many competent observ-
ers, fundamental conditions are I'M
changed, and all that is keeping us
going is government spending.
1t is true that 10000 900 men are
out of work. are being supported by
relief-about the same number that
was unemployed two years ago, when
the great recovery drive started.
That is the most ominous fac. the
country faces now.

FARM CREDIT LOANS

More than % per cent of the loans
made to farmers through the Al
Production Credit Associations of the
second distric. of the Farm Credit
Administration were paid in full at
the end of February, it was an
nounced by ]. X. Doughton, president
of the Production Credit Corporation
of Baltimore.
AS of February % there were g.
817 borrowers listed from Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia
and West Virginia, which states COM
prise the second district, and at that
time 1880 loans had been paid In
full.
These figures show an increase of
ST. per cent over December 81, when
there were 5,741 borrowers and l.
79O loans paid in full, or percent
age of 23.6.
"To me-" Mr.. Doughton said, this
indicates that the farmers are very
definitely turning the corner of the
depression. Given an opportunity
to borrow money for the production
and harvesting of crops at rate, OF
interest they all can afford to pay
our farmers are showing that they
can work out their own difficulties
They are repaying their loans, which
means that they are selling their
crops, taking care of their living ex.
penses, and saving enough to meet

Best opinion holds that the social
security program, when finally made
into law, will be more liberal than
the President wants, but will be less
liberal than demands by advocates
of the Townsend plan, who believe
that the road to recovery would be
at once turned into a super-highway
IL the government gave 5000 month
to all persons past so.
The chances are that the $4,000
100000 work relief bill will eventu-
ally be passed in just about the form
the President wants. But anything
may happen.

THE RECKLESS PEDESTRIAN

Last year the automobile fatality
record touched an all-time high,
with a total of $4,000 killed. One
of the worst aspects of the record
was the pedestrian toll.
Those who believe that accidents
involving car and pedestrian are
always the fault of the motorist, are
sadly mistaken. In five out of every
eight accidents in which person on
foot was killed by car, the pedes-
trian was entirely to blame.
Thirty-four per cent of the pedes-
TRANS who were killed because of
their own carelessness, were struck
while crossing in the middle of the
block or against traffic signals.
Seventeen per cent were killed while
walking on the wrong side Of the
road. Eleven per cent of the pedes-
trian fatalities involved children
playing in the streets. Nine per cent
of the fatalities resulted from walk
ers stepping suddenly out from be-
hind parked cars into the stream Of
traffic. It is significant fact that,
in 1884, the rate of death per pedes-
.rian accident was As per cent worse
crossing in the middle Of the block
than at the intersection, and "a per
cent worse crossing against signals
than with them.
The careless walker, like the care
less driver, constitutes grave prob
lem that must be definitely solved If
we are to lower the automobile toll.
The cure for pedestrian recklessness
is purely up to the individual-all
the traffic laws in the world cannot
make a person walk properly on
streets and highways If he is con-
CENTRALLY careless. Obey the signals,
never cross in the middle of block
and keep your eyes open and. your
mind busy with the problem of
safely reaching your destination.
That advice amounts to "life insur-
ance" for the PEDESTRIAN.

THE TAIL OF THE SHRIMP

1T is not a long one, this tail of
the shrimp, but the tail is all
there is to it-at least, all there
Is to the edible portion Of the
shrimp. And 1t is a most happy
ending"
First, let us introduce our hero.
The shrimp is a slender, long
tailed crustacean, closely allied to
the crawf1sh, residing, for the
most part, along the shores Of
shallow bays from Labrador to
South Carolina and along the
Pacific coast, notably in San Fran
cisco Bay.
Catch as Catch "can"
In the cooler spring and fall
months shrimps are caught in nets
and kept in ice until they reach
the cannery where the heads are
broken of, and the tails are peeled.
The meat is then blanched by boil
ing few moments in brine, which
turns them red or bright pink.
They are packed into cans, either
dry or with brine.
II, due to the distinctive and deli
cate flavor of the shrimp-pretty,
pink, and nicely curled-you have
kept it on your party list" you
don't know the half Of 1t. Con-
slider the shrimp, also, in everyday
clothes-the congenial companion
for the everyday dinner table.
The tender succulent meat does
wonders for an omelet, for scram-
bled eggs and for many other egg
