TRAIN FOR
 AVIATION
 MECHANICS
Over 1000 Young Men Preparing for Jobs,
 Govt. Policies

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. = Under the policies of the Federal Govern ment to provide financial assist ance to vocational education in the States, more than 1000 young men in different parts of the country are now receiving training which will prepare them to become aviation mechanics, J. w. Studebaker, Com missioner of Education reported to- day to Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes.
 Figures issued by the Office of Education, Department of the Inter for, show that in Federally aided vocational schools and classes throughout the United States, there are 2,182 students in daytime class es, 3,242 in part-time classes and 1853 in evening trade-extension classes.
 The rapid expansion of commer- cial aviation has opened up new field of activities for many boys While the average boy is lured by the romance and adventure of pilot ing a great transport plane, there is better chance of his finding an outlet for his mechanical ability in the specialized work that is needed at the airports, Commissioner Stude- baker said A far larger number ot linen are reuired for ground work than for pilot duty.
 At the commercial air-base in Miami ten classes are being conduct led by the local Board of Education |with Federal aid to train employed laviation mechanics. In New York ECity some 500 young men are being |prepared for this field. In Chicago Iwhere airlines maintain important lrepair stations, large number of linen are in training.
 t Believing that this is an important Inspect of vocational training in llAmerica the Office of Education irecently sent out 1,700 letters tc
 universities and 26,O00 letters to high lschools and preparatory schools, in- Iquiring what classes in aviation are
 in progress, how many boys or girls lare taking them, and what plans |are being made for increasing op- lportunities for such training. The
 survey is under the direction o1
 Robert w. Hambrook, Trade ano
 Industrial Education Agent.
 Among the subjects envisaged as
 part of the regular high school ol
 trade school curriculum are the
 building of model planes to scale towering these models with gaso. line engines, flying of models, study Iof principles of flight, study of avia- { tion events, building of gliders, glid. , ing or soaring, ground school train. ing and flight training. The schools t are likewise being asked how man, planes and airplane motors of diff. : ferent types they own and can us, flor study purposes.

FARMERS '38
 INCOME TAXES DECIDED DROP
Decrease Is Estimated al fl Pereenf-Big Harvest
 Sends Prices Down
By A. A. PATTON
Associated Press Statistician

|
 NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Prices of farm commodities crashed to the lowest levels in four years during 1888, as dwindling demand and large harvests boosted surpluses to record breaking proportions in some ins- tances.
 Unlike industrial staples, which rallied sharply when business re- . covery set in during the summer, agricultural commodities registered only the feeblest of comebacks in the final half of the year.
 Farm prices, measured by the de- partment of agriculture index, av- eraged approximately 94 per cent of the 1909-1914 level during the year, g per cent under the aver age for 1887.
 The break in quotations resulted in an II per cent farm income re- duction, according to latest official estimates, from $8600, 100000 to, ST. 625 100000
 Benift Payments helped
 The dip in cash receipts of the farmer during 1888 was cushioned by a $l3o,ooo,OO0 jump in govern ment benefit payments, which are expected to reach $500,000O00
 The farmer fared somewhat bet ter than his city cousin during the recession, however, government data indicates. Industrial workers, in- cluding largely urban dwellers, re- ceived roughly 13 per cent less this year than last estimates based on Department of Commerce income data show, while farm income drop ped to II per cent.
 Although the 1888 cotton crop was roughly one third smaller than the record breaking 19,000 ,000-bale har- vest of the year before, the south's most important agricultural staple faced the largest surplus in history
 Wheat Stocks Heavy Wheat stocks also climbed to re- cord levels, as result of the third 1 largest crop in history The gov ernment, through the Federal Sur plus Commodities Corp, therefore initiated an export subsidy in an eff fort to regain some part of our former world market S Wheat and the other grains were hardest hit among the major con- tributors to cash farm income A recent survey by the Department of Agriculture indicated receipts from this source would be 23 per cent under 1897 this year.
 Cotton and t.ttonseed account ed for the second sharpest reduc- tion in agricultural income, an es- timated Is per cent.
 Total cash receipts from all crops were placed at $3, 100000 900 against $3, ,870 100000 a year ago, down 20 per cent. Crops supplied two-fifths of all the money made on farms.
 Livestock Changed Little
 Livestock and livestock products accounting for more than half of all receipts, were comparatively stable. Meat animals-hogs, lamb and cattle-and dairy products be- tween them showed a decline of only six per cent compared with last year. These two categories were by far the largest individual farm in- come producers.
 Government benefits alone add ed 6la per cent to the farmers in- come.
