Had Dangerous
 Trip Deering to
 Shishmaref Foot

Continued From rage One)
 He continued walking in what he supposed to be the direction of Taylor Creek, but later found that he had come out near Cape Espenberg. For six days he had no food. on his trek across coun- try. and dared not stop because of the fear of becoming too weak to walk out of the desolate coun- try in which he was isolated.
 From Cape Espenberg, located on the Arctic coast of the Pen insula, he continued along the shoreline south toward Shismaref. When he attempted to cross the Lane River on an improvised raft. the current and wind car ried him out to sea, and he was forced to abandon the raft and start swimming for the beach, line, which was barely visible. He entered the water at 10 o'clock in the morning and did not climb out on the beach until 8 o'clock that night.
 Conner said that following his ten hour battle to get ashore, he lay on the beach for nearly an hour trying to regain his strength. Shortly afterWard he walked into an Eskimo camp, minus footgear, which he was unable to wear due to the swelling of his feet. He re- mained there long enough to eat and rest up, and then rode the few miles to Shismaref in a Whaleboat, in which some Eski- mos were going down the coast, arriving at that point July 18th lldays after leaving Deering.
 He expected the mail boat Meteor to stop at Shismaref, and he would then be able to proceed into Nome, but the boat did not stop, said Conner. He then wired for plane to pick him up. Pilot Ray Crawford of the Mirow Air Service flew over to Shismaref yesterday on a flight from Tin City and brought him into Nome last evening.
 Contrary to reports, Gene Com CT says that although the mos quitos looked large enough to eat, he at no time attempted to shoot them with a rifle, and that whoever started such a rumor. was mistaken.
 The trip across country from the northern slope of Seward Peninsula has proven more than difficult to travellers before, and several persons have died attempt ing to walk across-becoming lost and then not being able to eat or get out of the isolated ter ritory. Corners experiences, while fortunate in one respect, should teach many that such a trip by foot Is an extremely hard un- dertaking, and particularly to Cheechacos, should not be at tempted, when they do not know the country.

OUTLOOK BETTER

Downward Trend Checked,
With Some Increase in
General Buying.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 20.-A better"
situation in iron and steel markets
was reported today by the magazine

Its weekly review said q downward

Nevertheless the national operating
rate remained stationary at 27 per
cent, and it was expected to 90 lower

FARM MACHINERY
GAINS REVIEWED
Broad Changes, in Rural
Methods Outlined by
Federal Report.

A reminder OF the broad changes
that engineering developments in
farming have made In the way Of
life Of the American people prefaces
the annual report of S. H. McCrory,
chief Of the Bureau Of Agricultural
Engineering, to Secretary aWallace.
"A century has passed since the
invention Of the steel plow and the
grain harvester" he says To-day
there are more than 1,250,000 farm
tractors In use, electric power is
available on 10000 farms, S5,000,-
900 acres Of the best agricultural
land are in organized drainage dis
tricts, 100000 acres are under irri-
CATION in the West and supplemental
irrigation is now practiced on nearly
100000 acres in the humid part of
the country east of the Tooth me-
ridian."
There is now strong tendency
for engineering Improvements to favor
the family-size farm, says Mr.. Nc
Crory He cites the fact that there
has been no very noticeable tendency,
except in the exclusive wheat regions,
for farms to become larger Among
recent developments are the handy
general-purpose tractors. many now
on pneumatic tires, and the baby
combine grain harvesters adapted to
small fields. In spite of the increase
in the number Of machines, the
report says, the quantity of metal
used in farm implements is about
the same as in 1917, showing that
farmers are getting more out of it
than they did 20 years ago
Although recently farmers have
been heavier buyers of new imple-
ments and have been renewing their
interest in land drainage, the report
says large numbers of farms are
poorly organized and badly equipped,
and deplores the neglect of farm
houses and other farm buildings ito
such degree that new construction
and repairs do not at present make
up for normal depreciation. Part
Of this neglect of basic equipment,
it says, may be traceable to the
tendency to give first attention to
income producing equipment or too
much interest in the possibility of
buying more land when income is on
the upgrade.

mour group, however sustained loss
Of $2,704,227.
Robert H. Cabell, president, said
declining prices IN the closing week of
the fiscal period resulted in inventory
losses which reduced earning prospects.
"The outlook for the current year is
uncertain" Cabell said General
business conditions are unsatisfactory
and there has been consumer resist
ance to high meat prices that has cur
tailed consumption in most parts of
the country, due principally to unem-
ployment.
