YEARLY RETURN
 ON VEGETABLES TOTALS BILLION
Income From Truck Crop Exceeds That of Cotton
 By $5O,OOO,OOO
BY FRED BAILEY United Press Staff Correspondent)

|
 Washington, Jan = U.P0 = Vegetable growing commonly re- garded as a minor agricultural en- terprise- has become a billion-d dollar a-year industry, Department of Ag- riculture records show.
 Gross income from vegetables during the past five years has aver aged about 8 per cent of income from all crops, and more than 10 per cent of total farm income from all sources department economists said.
 Average annual income from vegetables exceeded that from cot- ton by $5O,OO0,OO0; grains by $100, 1000, ,000; grains by $100,O00,O00 fruits and nuts by $250,O00000 and tobacco by 0,OO0,0 900, the depart ment reported.
 Rich Per-Acre Return
 Farmers who planted about 10,- 500,000 acres-3 per cent of all crop lands-in vegetables this year will receive an average income of approximately $100 an acre, com pared with an average of $15 an acre for all crop lands.
 The American diet is made up of an increasing proportion of vegetables, according to depart ment experts. The use of fresh vegetables has virtually doubled since 1920, due to improved meth ods of shipping which make year. around marketing practical.
 The canning industry virtually has doubled in the last 20 years and now supplies a market for crops from about 100000 acres. Commercial vegetables for fresh marketing and canning are grown principally along the Atlantic sea- board, in the gulf states and on the Pacific coast.
 More Potatoes Planted
 The acreage of potatoes, the leading vegetable crop, has varied widely, with the general level in- creasing slightly during the past ten years. Harvested acreage this year aggregated 3,058,000, an in- crease of 18,0OO,000 acres over last year.
 The acreage of sweet potatoes has increased sharply, rising from 636,00O acres in 1928 to approxi- mately 100000 acres in recent years. Dry edible beans increased from 861, ,000 acres in 1921 to l. 85,000 acres this year.
 The acreage of truck crops for market has increased from 966,O in 1925 to approximately 1,750,O0O this year. The planting of truck crops for market of fresh vegetables has increased much more rapidly than the planting for canning, the department said.

WALTER O'HARA
 IS STILL AT WAR

Providence, R. l., Jan. 5-(UP)- Walter E. O'FIara and hostile direc- tors were locked in a proxy war for control of the $3,0O0,000 Narra- gansett Park horse race track to- day.
 Faced with O'Hara's refusal to resign as $75,000-a-year president and managing director of the Mar ragansett Racing Association, his opponents are expected to call a stockholders meeting within a fort night i'll an attempt to oust him.
 The directors hostile to OHara believe there will be no more racing at Naragansett as long as O'Hara remains at the helm. Governor Robert E. Quinn, who closed the track by martial law last October, has said no 1888 racing dates will be allotted while O'Hara remains.
 OHara, who with his family owns 25 per cent of the stock, appeared confident he will obtain sufficient proxies to retain control. Should he win, he proposes to seek state su- preme court action to force the racing division to allot 1888 racing dates.

RAMON DE VALERA
 BITTERLY SCORED

Dublin. Jan. 5-CUP)-The atti- tude of President Ramon de Valera is typical of all renegades who hate and detest those who remain true to the republican cause" Maurice Twomey, chief of staff of the Irish Republican army, charged last night at reception and dance in honor of released republican pris- onerS.
 He said that de Valera had be trayed and abandoned" the republi- can cause, mainly due to ignorance and lust for office.'
 Tn recent years," Twomey said, there has been a deliberate cam paign of demoralization and apathy to undermine the efforts of the republicans. There is lying, demo- goguery, bribery and corruption of vast scale. This apathy and demoralization was deliberately pro- noted and has made possible for political party to put across a constitution which now is purported to be for the whole of Ireland but the impoSterS deceive nobody.

line from Dutch Harbor, nearly 5000 miles due north to Honolulu. to Paga Pago, 2,200 miles south of Hawaii. Planes will take a leading part in the exercises.
 Army and navy leaders do not admit that the no-Japanese con- flict has changed or speeded up the defense program centered in Hawaii.
 Stress on Preparedness
 "It is our policy to perfect Ha- waiian island defenses so that we will be prepared for any eventu- ality," said Major-Gen. Andrew Moses, commanding officer of the Hawaiian department, U. s. A.
 Rear Admiral Orin G. Murfin, 14th naval district commandant, has summarized naval policies similarly.
 Necessary magnitude of such preparations in view of the pace set by arming nations, beset is illus trated in the air.
 A total of more than 600 planes could be hurled at any invading enemy if the army and navy de- sired to concentrate the full force of their present air strength in Hawaii.
 Best available figures indicate that there are slightly more than 100 army planes, and 85 or fewer navy planes based in the islands. The aircraft carriers Saratoga, Lex ington, Ranger and Yorktown carry 288 or more planes. Each battle ship carries three planes, heavy cruisers have four, and light cruisers have two each.
 New Carriers Speedier
 The aircraft carriers could reach Hawaii in not much more than three days, possibly even less time. On June 13, 1928, the carrier Lexing- ton reached Pearl Harbor from San Pedro, Cal, in approximately P hours, and the new carriers-the Wasp. Yorktown. and Enterprise have greater speed than the Lex ington
 The threat implied in this huge force easily may be illustrated by an incident during the hunt for Amelia Earhart. Admiral Murfin estimated in that search that planes from the carrier Lexington could cover 36,000 square miles, all area about that of the state of Indiana, in six hours flying time.
 Any summary of the islands aerial defense strength must con- slider the army and navy units as a single operating group, since they woul doperate under service regula- tions providing for unity of com mand" during any emergency. Su- preme command in case of a fleet attack on Hawaii probably would go to naval leaders, since the main de- fense task would fall to their branch.

STATE OFFERING /. TREATED WATER
New Colonization Plants Added-Few Get Un=
 filtered Supply

At the present time, PAT per cent of the 1,443,0 ,00O Connecticut people who are served by public water supply systems receive water that is filtered and 79.3 per cent receive water that is chlorinated to elim- mate all chance of pollution by dis ease carrying bacteria, it is estimat- ed by state health authorities. Some of the population included in the first figure is also included in the second figure, since some supplies are both filtered and chlorinated.
 Less than two percent of the pop ulation of the state supplied by pub lie water systems receive surface water that is neither chlorinated nor filtered, and this proportion of the population is progressively be- ing reduced by the installation of filtration and chlorinating plants. During the past year, the number of chlorination plants has been in- creased from 89 to 94 and these are used on 60 public and semi public systems as compared with 55 a year ago.

OYSTERS VS.. Hot Dogs

Why not oysters instead of hot
dogs? .,. "..'t 49,.
Almost as familiar as the hot
dog stand along the Northwest
highways are the little stores where
oysters are sold. They are numer-
GUS all over the coast of Washing
ton, and the product sold is one OF
the most healthful one can eat. For
the oyster, next to milk, is the most
nearly complete food we have. They
contain valuable vitamins and min
erals. such as iron in combination
with copper and manganese, also 10
dine in generous quantities. II you
do not have the oyster eating habit,
try to cultivate it, for they are
truly delicious. Eaten raw, and ice
cold, with little lemon juice, cat
sup and horseradish, they are un-
surpassed. 49, s
A dainty and attractive way to
serve them raw is to cover the bot
tom of a shallow dish with cracked
ice, then lay the oysters on top and
garnish with parsley and slices OF
lemon, sprinkled with paprika.
These are nice for midnight
snack or Sunday night supper or
an impromptu lunch. .-..

FEDERAL GROUPS PAY DIVIDENDS
Government Reports Re- ceipt of Nearly $5,OOO,-
 900 in Interest

Washington, Aug. 13.-More than $4,500,000 was received by govern ment agencies as dividends on their investments in 1,343 savings and loan associations during the first half of 1888, the Federal Home Loan banG board reported today. A tabulation showed that practically every asso- ciation paid a dividend for the six month period.
 The board announced that 1,078 federal savings and loan associa- tions paid average annual dividends of 3.56 per cent, while 255 state as- sociations paid an average of 3.42 per cent. Since government agencies were first authorized by congress to invest in qualified thrift associations which sought funds to expend their home financing operations, divi- dends paid the government have totaled approximately $l7793,00O.
 Of the total dividends received during the first half of 1888 amounting to $4,538,000, $3,668, ,O0C represents earnings on $211, ,997 SIC invested in shares by the Home Owners Loan corporation from a $300, ,000, 900 fund authorized by con- gross in 1885. The outstanding HOLC investments in federal chartered as- sociations on June 30 totaled $170,- 995 300. In state-chartered institu- tions of the Federal Home Loar bank system, HOLC investments amounted to $41,0o2,310.
 The remaining $870,000 of govern ment dividends for the six months came from an outstanding invest ment of $47,802,00O of U s. treas ury funds in federal savings anc loan associations, which was author ized by congress in 1883.
 The governments purchase o1 shares in the various associations was undertaken to provide needed funds for home financing, but that need has subsided with the resump- tion of investments by the genera public.

STATE TO WITNESS NEW HEALTH MARK
Fewer Deaths Being Cred ited to LObar Pneumonia
 During Current Year

A decline in deaths due to lobal pneumonia and of mothers in chilt birth furnishes the basis of ths opinion that Connecticut will reg ister its lowest mortality rate 1, many years at the close of the cur rent year. All figures indicate tha 1E5 is surpassing the favorable marks of former periods.
 Special attention was called tt the reduction in lobar pneumoni. mortality. One year ago, the cor. responding half year summary oj mortality showed reduction in To- bar pneumonia of 31 over the pre- vious year, but the decrease hh half year is even greater, beinl 178. Tis is attributed in large measure to the increase in type se- rums made available for quick uss throughout he state.
 The six months record of only 2 deaths of mothers in childbirth gives promise of new low recort for the year, even surpassing that of 1897 when the state established its lowest rate of 2.3 per 1000 "hvt L gin births.
 The bulletin also mentioned az net decrease in all forms of tuber- culosis, favorable reductions if, scarlet fever and whooping cough and a lower prevalence of influenza
 Time mortality for diphtheria, deaths, remained the same for the first half year in both 1887 and 1888. This is far from a favorable record since definite control measure in toxoid is available. With the increase in cases of diph- theria in certain areas in the state in 1887. a more active continuous immunizati ton campaign is neces- sary if the morbidity and mortality due to this disease is to be con- trolled.
 With the exception of tuberculo- sis other than pulmonary which showed an increase in 1888, deaths from diseases of the heart and car- cer were the only ones that in- creased With these latter two talk ing the lead among causes of death their increases are not disturbing
 So far in 1888 there has been nc death from poliomyelitis, though the bulletin pointed out that this record may be changed for this is a seasonal disease with its peak in the summer.
