giving normal weather and normal
Yields and normal abandonment, was
about 96O,OO0,O 600 bushels, Dr. Black
noted in emphasizing the danger of
recurring crop Surpluses.
How to dispose of SURPRISES that
we havereaSon to expect in future
years with the return of normal
weather, despite greatly reduced for
eign demand for our farm products,
is a problem that the Nation must be
prepared to meet"
DR.. Black added that I'm view of
the very sharp swings of the pendu-
lums of production and prices in
American agriculture, and of our
great capacity to produce, we must
move toward the storage of excess
products in years of plenty, that they
may be carried over and made avail
able in yeats of scarcity"
Declaring that agricultural adjust
ment is the keynote of the Bureaus
work in farm management, DR.. Black
reported to the Secretary that new
undertakings and work on older pro-
jects have been geared to the gene
raj objective of determining what ad-
justments are needed to prevent soil
erosion and to build up and preserve
the productivity of the soil in farms.
Ways have been sought to bring these
ObpectivaS into line with efficiency in
production and with the effective or
ganization and management of farms
The bureau is cooperating with the
Department of State and other gov
ernmental agencies in the develop
ment of reciprocal trade agreements.
In this connection, DR.. Black express
ed the belief that "a more liberal inn
port policy will improve greatly the
prospects for a substantial recovery
of our exports of certain agricultural
products, notably cotton, tobacco,
fruit and lard. With normal weather
conditions, we shall have a substan-
tial volume of these products avail
able for export. These products will
be brought in substantial quantities
provided we are willing to sell them
at competitive prices"
Investigating in the field of mar
keting and distribution, the Bureau
has learned that about So cents out
of every dollar spent by consumers
for food goes to professors, distribu-
tors, and transportation agencies.
While this does not condemn the
marketing system as inefficient" DR..

F ARM PRODUCTS AT
$53,682,0 SUM
Tends to Paint Agricultural
Picture Brighter Than
1t Really Is

College Station, Raleigh, Dec. 10
The tremendous value of North Caro-
lima farm products tends to paint the
agricultural picture much brighter
than it really is.
This statement was made by DR.
| r. Y. Winters director of the N. c.
Agricultural Experiment Station, who
has been keeping in close touch with
the agricultural situation.
For example, he said, the value OF
North Carolina farm products sold
and consumed on the farm in 1894
was placed at $353 6S2 900, or approx
fmately twice as much as the State
average for the nation.
Yet, he pointed out, when one con-
siders the large number of people who
must share the gross farm income
the allotment per person become:
ridiculously small.
Moreover, he said, the gross value
does not take into account the cost
of producing these commodities
Many farmers actually lose money
when all costs are deducted from
their gross income
Back in 1926, when times were COM
paratively good he added, the ex-
pertinent station made a study of
white cotton and tobacco farmers in
Wake County.
Of the 1874 land owners covered by
the survey, 423 per cent had a larger
cash outlay for production than the
gross income from their sales. Of the
3OO tenants, 28.7 per cent spent more
than their farm produce brought on
the market.
account depreciation of equipment or
And these figures do not take into
depreciation of land as a result of bad
farm practices, DR.. Winters stated.
The experiment station, he contin-
ued, is constantly working on the de-
velopment of better systems of farm
ing and farm management that will
yield farmers larger net profit.

WASHINGTON, Dec 10-A favorable
outlook for agriculture in 1887 was
foreseen by DR.. A. G. Black, chief of
Bureau of Agricultural Economics, In
his annual report to Secretary of Ag-
ricultures Wallace The report was
made public today
DR.. Black asked, however, that the
outlook for agriculture be not Judged
in terms of a single year since there
are fundamental weaknesses In the
position of agriculture that still re-
quire vigilance-and action"
Drought and rising farm income
marked the agricultural situation dur
ing the past year the bureau chief
reported An increase in total cash
income from marketingS and overn-
ment Gpayments in 1886 of at least
10 per cent over last year and 81 per
cent over 1882 is estimated by the
bureau.
The drought however which "has
reduced drastically and even wiped
out in many cases the very limited re-
sources of many farmers, has en-
phasized' Dr. Black said, "the need
for measures that will contribute to
the security and stability of farm in
come"
A major factor in the situation de-
tailed by DR.. Black is IAN agricul-
tural plant that, in years of average
weather, can produce considerably in
excess of existing market demands,
even allowing for considerable ad-
vance in domestic demand. There is
some Improvement in foreign mar
kets for our farm products, but this
improvement is taking place slowly.
Domestic demand" he added, cannot
be expected to advance to point that
will assure an ample market with sat-
isfactory prices for all that American
farmers can produce"

1919 was planted for harvest this

GETS GOOD PROFIT
IN SWEET POTATOES

Salisbury, Dec. 10-L. M. Safrit, of
Salisbury, route 2, in Rowan county,
has made a net profit of $612 this year
from four acres of sweet potatoes, re-
ports County Agent D. H. Sutton. The
total acreage produced 1,025 bushels
of sweets which were valued at $772
The cost record shows that $500
were allowed for labor, $500 paid
for fertilizer, $4,000 for plants, and
$4,000 allowed for the rental of land,
making a total of $4,000. The aver
age net profits was $4,000 an acre

Black said, lit points to the need for
careful studies of marketing methods
and of marketing structure"
Results of studies of price spreads
between producers and consumers,
and announcement of an intensive
study of terminal markets for fruits
and vegetables were reported. A sur
vey also is being made of the effects
upon producers, consumers, and the
trade of Federal, State, and munich
pal laws and regulations concerning
the marketing Of farm products.
Studies on the concentration and
movement of raw cotton, the storage
of grain in farm granaries, the di-
rect marketing of livestock, and sig
nificant developments in foreign ag-
ricultural production and marketing
have received much attention.
In brief detail of the Bureaus
many services and related research
activities. DR.. Black remarked that
THE Bureau operates the worlds
largest agricultural market news ser
vice. covering practically all farm
commodities in all the leading mar
kets of the United States and the
production and marketing situation
in many foreign countries" Three
major Services-market news, stand
ardiZatiOn, and inspection-are design
ed to promote orderly marketing.
Nearly $50 economic-research pro-
jects dealing with almost every as
pect of agriculture from the manage
ment of the farm through the mar
keting of farm products, are under
way in the Bureau. There are re-
search projects relating to the esti-
mating of crops and livestock, farm
management, costs of production, the
marketing of various farm commodi-
ties, farm population, rural life, land
economics, and many other subjects
Many of these are in cooperation
with State agricultural extension SER
vices.
Last year, more than 225 separate
reports were released from the Wash
ington office relating to crop condi-
tons, farm stocks, crop yields, acre
ages, numbers of livestock, the pro-
duction of livestock products, prices
received by farmers, prices paid by
farmers, farm labor and wages. Many
additional reports were released from
the field offices.
The estimating of crops and live
stock in production, and continuing
research in estimating and forecast
ing technics, was described as "the
Oldest activity in the Department of
Agriculture"
In a section on Standardization and
inspection" the bureau chief briefly
discussed research on grain stand
ards, rust damage, rice inspection,
cotton standards, cotton quality re-
ports, cotton grade and staple re-
ports, livestock and meat Standard
zation, wool standardization, fruits
and vegetable standards and inspec-
ton, grades for canned foods, dairy
and poultry standards, butter and
cheese standards, hay standards and
spection, and seed verification.
archaeological research during the
past year covered grain moisture
tests, flaxseed oil tests, the develop
ment of a grain-sieving device, deve-
lopment of cotton "bollmeter" with
which to measure the cubic displace-
ment of sample bolls, cotton-ginning
studies, artificial drying of cotton,
spinning tests of cotton, and new uses
for cotton.

FISH BONE DIET IS
LATEST HEALTH TIP

The health value of eating small
Ash, such as sardlnes, which usual.
~ are eaten bones and all, Is en-
phasiZed In a recent report of the
medical research council In Eng.
land. The Investigation included
chemical analyses of many different
kinds of food to see which provide
the largest amounts not only Of or.
binary nutrient materials but also
of the vitamins, mineral elements
and other minor constituents now
known to be necessary to health.
Two of the necessary mineral ele-
ments are phosphorus and calcium.
both of which are needed in the hu-
man body for building and repair
of bones. In addition an ample
supply of calcium is believed to be
needed for health of the nerves.
Phosphorus also is needed for the
storage and production of muscular
energy. Both elements r plentiful
In fish bones.
Accordingly, a reasonable number
of fish bones may be an excellent
addition to the diet. Bones of large
fish usually are taken out. Even
moderately small fish bones usually
are removed because of the well
founded fear that a bone may stick

THE United States and Great Brit
L ain, In the conference at Wash
ington, agreed upon a plan that is
expected to result in regular air
mail and passenger transportation
acros the Atlantic by the summer
of 1887. Negotiations were under
way for the northern route by way
of Canada, Newfoundland, and Irish
Free State to England, and the
southern route from Porto Rico and
American ports to England.
The northern route is more prac-
ticable than the southern route be-
cause of the shorter distance, but
is less practicable In winter be
cause flights would be undertaken
under less favorable conditions.
Under the agreement experiment.
al flights will begin next summer.
When regular service is inaugu-
rated, according to the agreement,
four round trips will be made each
week.
