AUTOS COUNTED FOR 4 OUT OF 5 FARM FAMILIES
Highest Average 97 Pct. In California, Kansas,
 North Dakota
BY FRED BAILEY United Press Staff Correspondent

(Uu1Ve0 FTGSS Sbdu OVT1COpOtAuenbJ
 Washington, Feb. 9 = (UPl - Four out of every five farm fam- flies own an automobile, a survey by the Department of Agriculture disclosed.
 Farmers buy on the average al- most twice as many used as new cars, it was found. They paid an average of $263 for used and $739 for new cars
 Car ownership of all non-relief, native white farm families inter- viewed in the 1935-36 survey ranged as high as 97 per cent in California, North Dakota and Kansas.
 Vermont Shows Thrift
 Car ownership among all farm CTS was 82 per cent. In thrifty Vermont the percentage was 73. In the Southeast 60 per cent of white farm operators owned automobiles. Among Negro Sharecroppers the percentage was as low as 15 per cent.
 Only in California did the white farm families studied purchase more new than used cars. In most of the other areas studied, twice as many used as new cars were bought.
 The purchase price of used cars ranged from $50 in Georgia and Mississippi to $330 in New Jersey and of new cars from an average of $637 in North Carolina to $932 in California.
 "Farm thrift may be responsible in part of this buying pattern" Dr. Louise Stanley, in charge of the survey, said.
 However" she added, 'it is probable that the American farm family is more ready to take a car that does not quite meet its dreams than to be without a car"
 94 Per Cent in 4 States
 The percentage of car ownership among families interviewed in other sections was: Michigan and Wiscon- sin, 94 per cent; Illinois and Iowa, 94 per cent; Oregon and Washing ton, 91 per cent; Montana, Color ado, South Dakota, Pennsylvania and Ohio, 86 per cent.
 Car ownership was lowest in Georgia and Mississippi - white farm operators, 62 per cent; white sharecroppers, 20 per cent; Negro farm operators, 9 per cent and Negro sharecroppers, Is per cent.
 Among all farmers interviewed. seven per cent purchased new cars and F per cent bought used cars during the year studied.

Caution is particularly made
against claims by schools that

that they r given advance in

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
ISSUES NOTICE ON SCHOOLS

Extravagant claims of this type
are bringing some such schools
under Government investigation.
Recently the Post Office Depart

after evidence had been submit

to defraud. In m of these cases
prosecuted by the Government, the

The aim of the Government is

for the Government to secure or

money paid into the schools. The
