the future generations of farmers.
Within the past few years a sur
vey was made Of farm and city
homes having the same incomes.
Three important points were con-
sidered: food, clothing and homes.
1t was found that the farm fami-
lies were consuming about fifty per
Govt more protein fifty per cent
moro colcium. forty per cent more
phosphorus and thirty per cent more
iron than those in the city.
The families Of working men In
the city had barely enough pro-
TENS. and were deficient of about
sixteen per cent in calcium, ten
per cent in phosphorus, and fifteen
per cent in iron.
1t is clear, therefore, that the
farm families were we'll provided
with vitamins, whereas, the city
working mans family had very lit
lie. OF course, people in the cities
with large incomes can eat more
adequately.
In reference to clothing and equip
ment of the home, the farm fami-
lies live more poorly than do city
families. The surveys show that the
farm family of low income spends
about $117.00 for clothing per year,
while the city family of the same
income spends about $4,000 per
year. Again, the farm family of
higher income spends about 1907. 90
per year, while the city family of
the same income spends about
$3S100 per year.
With regard to the house, the
farm houses have more rooms than
do city houses, but fewer modern
commences This is one of the great |
lacks of farm life-home improve
ments and comforts.
In spite of the poor sanitary IA
cilities in the average farm home, |
however, it is probable that there
is less sickness among the farm
ing population than among the city !
population and reliable surveys !
show that the duration of life is
considerably longer.
The distribution of wealth is
much more unequal in the cities
than on the farm. Wealth in the
city is largely the result of chance,
a gamble by millions of people for
big stakes in which a few thousand
win Wealth in the country, on the
other hand, is normally the result
of hard work, the ability to man
age well, and thrift.
But these are purely material
values. To me, as to all true farm
ers. the greatest benefit to be de-
rived from farm life are pleasure
in my work, pride in accomplish
ment, and independence.
like farm work-and l take plea
sure in seeing crops mature, and
still feel that the farmer has a
greater possibility of being indie
pendent than other workmen.

LUlU to Curb

Legislation to curb the sale of Ger
tain sedatives. except on prescription
by a physician, was advocated today
by Police Court Judge Edward M.
Curran in an effort to halt the steady
appearance in court of persons whose
use of the drugs has resulted in their
arrest on intoxication charges.
The judge referred specifically to a
narcotic which, according to the Dis
trict of Columbia Board of Pharmacy
produces sleep without relieving pain,
but when taken in cup of steaming
coffee results in acute intoxication.
A college student was arraigned be-
fore Judge Curran today on intoxica-
ton charges and two walls of the
tablets were produced as evidence
Such cases frequently appear in court,
he said.
