every bill that we permit to be
introduced"

women assemblywamen, of the new
electrical voting machine in the

Mykwa, Texas.-Elmer Afford

10 acres "by the moon" and his
weather almanac, is the envy of
Texas All club boys.
Elmer, barefoot and in the fifth
grade at school, waits for the full
of the moon" to plant and harvest
because full moon yields a full
harvest"
He expects to make 65 bushels of
rs bushels of peas from an acre
and half and expects to pick as
many more.
Elmer farms while his fifty-year-
old father, ]. A. Fowler, works
out"
Corn husks are thick, so you can
look for a hard winter with lots of
rain and cold" he says. He knows
all the signs Of the zodiac and plans
according to indications"
Elmer's father said he foresaw
the depression and traded his $1,000
city home for his farm. Since 1926
value of the property has mounted
to $4,000.
Elmer likes to farm because of
the freedom. "You can work whsn
you want to and quit when you want

BIGGER DEMAND
FOR RAIL POST
WoOdsmen Find 1t Unfailing
Barometer on Returning
of Prosperity
WORTHWHILE INDUSTRY

Escanaba, Mich.-Woodsmen in
the upper peninsula of Michigan do
not have to read the agricultural
journals in order to get an idea how
the farmers in the corn belt and
other sections of the country are
faring. There is an unfailing ba-
rOmeter of the changing weight Of
the farmers pocketbook, and that
is the Notwithstanding fence
post.
When the farmer is hard pressed,
as he has been during the last few
depression years, he allowed his
fences to fall into a state of dis
repair. But when money starts to
jingle in his jeans again he takes
the usual pride in them and be-
comes heavy buyer of posts.
The peninsula division of the Chi
cagO & North Western railway is
reporting unusually heavy shipments
of posts this summer. A large per-
centage will be used for replace
ments, but the trend toward diversi-
ficatien of agriculture is also a fac
tor. Western grazing lands, for in
stance, are being converted into
small farms, neceSsitating the CON
structiOn of enclosures.
There is a noticeable increase in
the summer volume of pulpwoOd
traffic. Railroad officials attribute
this upswing to the manufacture of
many new paper products, such as
table covers, curtains, bakery sup
plies and wrapping paper.
With the increasing demand for
paper products, the lowly jackpine
has taken place beside the spruce
and balsam pulpwood. This here
tofore useless wood is now the i'm
portant element in producing paper
of fine texture such as that used
for waxed papers. The United
States forest service has worked
out plans for considerable refores-
tation of jackpine and other pulp
wood to meet the demands of the
paper industries in Michigan and
Wisconsin in the future years.

TOURISTS
SET NEW MARK
Traffic To Parks and Resorts
Believed to Be the Big
gest in Years
MORE GOING ABROAD

Washington.-Aut tourist
travel, reported to be expanding by
leaps and bounds in virtually all
sections of the country, is expected
to be the greatest in volume this
summer since the vacation season
of 1890.
Motor car traffic, as well as rail
travel, to the western parks and
forests is the heaviest in several
years. New England resort districts
report 80 per cent increase in
number of tourists over 1884 and
midwestern resort areas have regis
tered the largest vacation merchan-
disc sales since 1929. Recent ad-
vance registrations at national
parks exceeded by 40 per cent the
attendance last year.
One travel service official pre-
diets the 1885 domestic travel in
dustry' will eclipse by more than
S3OO,OOO.0OO the S5,OOO,OOO.OOO. ac-
credited in 1884. The big increase
in automobile sales, widespread ad-
vances in retail business and
spread of travel "fever" are indica-
tors of a booming tourist business.
More Going Abroad.
Motor vacationing by Americans
abroad also gives promise of ex-
ceeding the banner year of 1929,
according to officials Of the Ameri-
can Automobile association. They
report that the foreign travel division
of the association already has
cleared 5 per cent more American
cars than in the entire year Of 1890.
Travel service experts say one
of the outstanding features of Eu-
ropean traffic this year is the Amer
lean invasion of the British isles.
Transportation officials report the
largest number of Americans in
London in seven years and the
greatest American travel in history
In the provincial districts of Brit
ain.
The new floating garages" on
transatlantic liners are credited
with playing an important part in
making 1885 the biggest year on
record for European motor travel
by Americans who take their own
automobiles with them,
Mostly Small Cars.
Between 75 and 90 per cent of
the American automobiles taken
abroad for vacation touring are re
ported to be In the small car field.
The Importance of economical op-
Grating costs abroad, where gaso-
line prices in several countries are
as high as so and 60 cents a gal
lon, have made the small cars par
ticularly popular for Europeon mo-
toring.
/ A. A. A. officials say the expert
ence OF thousands of motorists has
demonstrated that party Of three
can actually effect economies by
/ travelling in their own car IN Eu-
rope. This advantage is In addi-
ton to freedom of movement and
