his eagerness to begin the day-and-
night grind over the 10-mile circular
track after yesterdays run in which
he set up new world mark of 162.529

Records which he hoped to break
today range from 167099 miles an

Tobacco Market Outlook
For 1887 Much Improved

ports Not Expected o Pick Up Next Year

Washington, Nov. 12-Further i'm
prOvement in the general market out
look for tobacco in 1887 was forecast
today by the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics.
The bureau, summarizing it's an
nual outlook report on tobacco, said:
domestic consumption of manu-
facturered tobacco products is ex-
pected to continue to increase, but
with the possibility of some decrease
in exports of leaf tobacco, indications
are that the disappearance of Ameri-
can tobacco in the 1936-37 season will
not vary greatly from that Of 1856.
"The 1886 crop, which was curtail-
ed partially by the drought, will re-
suit in a further reduction in the
stocks of many types by the begin
ming of the 1887 marketing season.
The types which will benefit most
from reduced stocks are hurley, cigar
and dark air-cured types which are
consumed largely in the domestic
market.
LESS Improvement is expected for
flue-cured and Maryland, which de-
pend to considerable extent on for
eign markets. For the fire-cured
types, little improvement can be
counted on because the export situa-
ton is unfavorable.

Farm Families Will Haze
More Money For Spending
Cash Income from Crops w i'll Help Lift Standard of
Living Next Year; Wide Regional Differences In
Earnings in Various Sections of Nation

Washington, Nov. PA higher lev
ell of farm family living in 1887 re-
sulting from a marked improvement
in farm income was forecast today by
the Bureau of Agricultural Economics
and Home Economics and Home Eco
nomics in an Annual Outlook Report.
The bureaus, summarizing the pros
poets, said:
"The 1886 gross cash income from
agriculture is continuing the upward
trend begun in 1888, and, according
to preliminary estimates, represents
an increase of approximately II per-
cent over 1885 income. This general
income in 1886 is expected in spite of
the severe summer drought that de-
stroyed crops and pastures over a
considerable area. Probably much of
the effect of this drought on income
and resources will not be felt until
1887, and it's influence on farm in
come will be chiefly regional. The
outlook for 1897 income from agricul-
ture the country over is a continual
ton of the upward trend of 1885.
1.-THE improvement in income in the
first half of 1886 reflected a larger
volume of farm products marketed.
together with the higher prices re-
celved for meat animals, dairy pro-
ducts, and fruits. The improvement
in income during the second half of
1886 is rejecting chiefly the higher
prices OF nearly all groups of farm
products, together with the consider
ably heavier marketings of meat ami
mails. Payments by the Agricultural
adjustment Administration to farm
ers will be substantially smaller in
1886 than in 1896.
AS usual, reports for 1886 are show
ing wide regional differences in per-
centage gains in agricultural income
over the preceding year. The part of
the country that benefited most in
the first months of this year, TAX
ing income from farm marketings and
government payments together, is the
West North Central States, with a 81
percent gain over the same period
last year. This increase was due in
part to the higher price levels for
grain and livestock, together with the
greater volume of marketings of meat
animals. There probably was some
liquidation of livestock in consequence
of the drought.
The region in which income from
marketings and Government paw
ments was no higher in this period is
the South Central states, with a two
percent decrease in the first eight
months of 1886 as compared with the
same period last year. An increase
in receipts from farm marketings in
this region was offset by smaller Gov
eminent payments
In 1897, as in other years, members
OF many farm families will be sup
plementing farm income by earning
away from home. Such earnings off
the farm, the United States over, will
run into millions of dollars Consid-

| time financing plans for debts will
tend together to increase the cash
available for farm-family living in
1896, considering the country as a
whole. In some sections, however,
especially where the drought great
ly reduced the some food supply as
we'll as cash crops, money for cur
rent living probably will be provided
many families through benefit pay
ments and subsistence grants in the
last half of 1886 and into 1897 For
such families there will be little or no
choice in spending because the limit
ed relief payments will barely cover
such necessities as food.
However, it would seem that farm
families in general will have some
what more money to distribute in
1897 among items of family living, in
spite of the fact that farm equipment,
farm buildings, and livestock for re-
plenishing herds will doubtless claim
goodly share of the increase in in
come. Increased cash available for
family living may be offset in part by
higher prices of food and of some
other commodities.
"Retrenchments made in family 1iv-
ing because of the limited funds avail
able during the depression continue to
affect the distribution of increased
funds for family use. In view of ad-
justments already made, it seems
probable that increased resources in
1869 will go to food, furnishings,
household operation, medical care
and clothing, somewhat in the order
of naming these items. Major home
improvements probably will be made
by many families in 1887. In areas
where electric lines are being extend
ed and the cost of electricity is being
reduced to farm families, some of the
increase in income may go for wiring,
electric service, and electrical appli-
ances.
The extent and character of home
food-Aroduction programs will con-
tinue to receive attention in 1897.
Home production of fuel and certain
other goods may decline.
Greater use of cooperative purch-
asing associations is indicated by the
fact that both retail and wholesale or
carnations have increased in num-
Der and in size of business in 1896.
This trend probably will continue into
1887. Various governmental agencies
will continue to work for consumer
protection and to publish material fer
consumer education in 1887 The de-
mand for information of this kind is

EWERPRODUCTS
OF FARM IMPORTED
Value Only About Half
Pre-Depression Years,
Bureau Reports

Washington, Nov. 12.-Although the
value of agricultural products i'm
ported by the United States during
the year ended June 80, 1896, amount
ed to S1,140,O0O,OOO it was still only
annual value of such imports during
the five pre-depression years 1924-25
to 1928-29, the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics reported today.
In considering the significance OF
agricultural imports to the American
farmer, it is important, the bureau
said, to differentiate between such
products as coffee, cocoa, rubber, silk
and tea, in which he is interested as
consumer, and such as sugar, wool,
tropical oils, hides and skins, feed
and fodder, and tobacco, in which his
interest is wholly or partially that of
a competing producer.
The 1885 import value of the
first group, referred to as non-com-
petitive because they are neither pro-
duced in this country nor capable of
being replaced by articles grown here,
amounted to $500,O0O,000 compared
with $436, 100000 the year before. This
group constituted Al percent of the
value of our agricultural imports in
1856.
The import value of the second
group, referred to as competitive,
either because similar products or
substitutes for them are grown in this
country amounted to $640,O00,00O as
compared with $498,000,000 in 1934-35
A long list of articles is included in
the so-called competitive group, which
made up Sc percent of the agricultural
imports in 1856. Some of these are
sugar, wheat, tobacco, wool, goat and
kid skins, cattle hides and calf skins
flaXSeed corn, cOcOanut oil, live cat
tie, molasseS, and cheese.
The Bureau points to several chan
ges in imports int he competitive
group during 1886. Imports of such
products as hay, oats, and other feed
stuffs decreased with those of the
marketing season following the 1884
drought. On the other hand imports
of live cattle and meats rose to sup
plement low domestic supplies follow
ing the feedstuffs shortage of the
preceding year. Imports of such raw
materials as wool, hides and skins
vegetable oils and oilSeeds, and cotton
rose with he recovery in domestic in
dustrial activity. Wheat imports also
increased due to unfavorable crop
conditions in 1885.
Sugar and molasses made up 81 per-
cent of the value of the competitive
farm imports in 1886, vegetable oils
and oilseeds 20 percent, hides and
skins nine percent, grains and flour
eight percent, meats and animal oils
five percent, fruits and nuts four per-
cent, and duitable wool four percent
The total quantity and value of both
the competitive and non-competitive
agricultural imports in 1885, how
ever. were still far below the average
in pre-depression years.

BANKRUPTCIES OF
FARMERS DECLINE
Government Bureau Study.
Reveals Decrease for
Three Years

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE number
of bankruptcies among farmers has
been declining for three years, the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
showed today in making public
study of farm bankruptcies covering
the period since 1898.
The number Of farmer bankruptcies
jumped upward in 1922 after the first
onslaught Of the agricultural depres-
sion; rose to a peak of 1872 in 1870;
declined gradually to 4,O23 in 1881;
then increased to 5,917 in 1888. Since
then they have again been declining.
The number last year was 4,3ll.
The trend of farmer bankruptcies
reflects roughly the course OF the de-
preston. In less troubled times De-
fore the war, few farmers resorted 10
the bankruptcy courts. ordinarily
there were only few hundred such
cases in a year. In 1910 farmer bank
ruptcies euualed only one one-hun-
dreth of one percent of all farms At
the peak in 1925 they were only
twelve one-hundredths of one percent
of all farms.
In the last SO years, farmer cases
have totaled 1O0,848, or only 81 per-
cent of all cases arising under the Ma
tional Bankruptcy Act. Since the war,
BANKRUPTCIES among laborers have
been largest in number, merchants
second. and farmer cases have been
third numerically.
The Bureaus study is issued as a
printed circular entitled Farmer
BANKRUPTCIES, 1898-935."
