STATE CROPS

IN past Year
Income From Main Farm
Crops Approaches the
200 Million Mark

North Cardinals principal farm
crons brought $l96,5S7,O0o IN
1887, an increase Of ID percent
over 1896, according to JUIi;'A
Mann, extension StatIStlcIan Al
State college. .,,.
This increase Of nearly $50
100000 was probably brought
about by the above-avcrage prices
received for the bumper tobacco
crop produced last year, Mann
said.
Government payments for par
ticipation in the agricultural con-
servation program jumped sharp
w in 1887. In 1886 thepaymcntS
amounted TO S4.3O2. 900, while
last year farmers received 4 TO-
tai of $l2,217,OOO.
Receipts from the sale Of live
stock and livestock products show
ed q slight decline in 1887. In
1896 the figure was 5000, 600;
last wear it dropped off To 81
$4,000.
Adding livestock, crops and
government payments together,
the 1887 total was S33,3OO,OOO
over that Of the previous year.

sions of the country, except the

The favorable prices received

creased income, the StutlStlcian
declared.

RURAL WOMEN NOW

Modern rural America apparent
~ is forSaking the sewing ma
chine as a means OF making cloth
INK, just as another generation
abandoned the spinning wheel,
according to Il survey Of 1851
Iowa farm women.
The survey, reported by Miss
Elizabeth Peterson, clothing spc-
ciaiist, disclosed that 80 per cent
of the clothing worn by the farm
women was rcady-made. Only 40
per cent of all dresses worn were
made on the family sewing ma
chine and most of these were cot
ton house dresses, Miss Peterson
said.
Only 6 per cent of the coats
and II per cent of the underwear
were homemade, according to the
survey. The clothing specialist re-
ported that 50 per cent Of all
dresses worn were cotton. The
same was true for hose, indicat-
ing that farm women do not risk
hazards of runners" and save
silk hose for special occasions.
The women averaged seven
pairs of hose q year, spending on
ly 81 on them. Of an average eX-
penditme of $64 for each of the
1881 women, SIT was spent for
dresses and the same amount fol
coats. They averaged two OF

TOTAL FOR MONTH

Modernization Almost Doubles

BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Private building in the District dur
Ing March showed increased activity
over February, but fell far short of
operations in March of last year, it
was revealed today in the report of
Building Inspector John w. Oehmann
Building permits approved last month
had total valuation of $l973,725.
The March valuation was an in
crease of about 100000 over Febru-
ary, but was more than $1,40O,O00
short of the total for the correspond
ing period of 1878 ,397,635. This
huge drop from last years figures was
largely due to decrease in apartment
and commercial construction. Mod
ernlzation work on old structures,
likewise, was only about half of the
figure for 1887.
Big Gain in Homes.
Activity in the one-family dwelling
field held up surprisingly well, as Col.
Oehmann's Office approved 1874 of
these structures during March. This
is an increase of about 100 over Feb
ruary, and a drop of less than so
from March, 1887, which was the big
gest home building month of the en-
tire year. The valuation of single
family dwellings approved last month
was placed at Sl056,15O.
There were Is apartment build
1ngS, having capacity of l0l fam
lilies, approved last month. The value
of this building is S271. 500 This is
an increase of nearly so per cent as
compared with February of tbs year.
but is far less than the activity in
the field in March last year. In the
latter month, So apartment projects
capable of housing 457 families, we're
approved. Apartment construction in
March last year was valued at
$1,16O,000.
Modernization Picks Up.
The valuation of modernization
work, or rather additions, alterations
and repairs to existing structures, was
s343,475 last month, nearly double
the figure for February This type
OF construction in March last year
was valued at $638,085.
Col. Oehmann approved erection of
2o6 brick and five frame buildings in
March. Sixteen raze permits were
granted. OF the one-family dwellings
approved, 96 are detached, eight semi
detached, and 80 row in type
