FARM
HORSE OR TRACTOR
EXPENSE is SAME
Facts Brought Out in an
Analysis of Records.

The average expense crop acre
for man labor, horse and machinery
use on farms is practically the same
for horse farms, standard tractor
farms and general-purpose tractor
farms.
This is one of the facts on changes
in the use of farm power brought
out in an analysis of records kept
from 1880 to 1886 in cooperation
with the department of agricultural
economics, College of Agriculture,
University of Illinois. A summary
of the analysis is reported by P. E.
Johnston, associate chief in agricul-
tural economics, in a recent issue
of Illinois Farm Economics, pub
lished by the department of agri-
cultural economics.
Other studies indicate that farm
ers who continue%.o operate their
farms with horses are more eff
Gent in the use of horse power, it
is explained. The records also indi-
cate that the expense for man Ia
Dor has been reduced only slightly
by the addition of tractors. In some
cases tractors have enabled opera
tors to do larger volume of bust
ness and in others to provide for
more leisure on the part of farm
workers..
Another fact brought out in the
study is that farmers are using al
most two fewer horses and mules
farm in 1888 than in 1926. Fur
thermore the percentage of farm
horses more than 20 years of age is
twice as high in 1888 as in 1926,
but the proportion of horses less
than four years of age is also high
er. From 1880 to 1884 about 26 per
cent of the accounting farms in CEN
trail Illinois used horses only, where
as in 1886 the proportion had de-
clined to IA per cent.
The shift in breeding operations on
farms has been related to changes
in prices of farm products and of
horse feeds. During the period 1880
to 1884, when the price of farm prod
ucts dropped much more drastically
than that of tractors, there was
practically no shifting from horses
to tractors on the farms included in
the study. The percentage of farms
operated with horses averaged
about &c per cent each year.
During this period, however, there
was shift from standard tractors
to general-purpose tractors, and this
shift had an effect on numbers of
horses, since general-purpose trac-
tors which are used for cultivating
row crops replace more horses than
do the standard type.

Juvenile Sandals
Favor Open Toes

Mothers acceptance of cutout
sandals is leaving it's imprint on
daughters footwear fashions. Out
standing among the juvenile shoes
for the coming spring are numerous
versions of the toeless style. Open
sides and slashed heels 60 along
with the open toes just as they do
in adult feminine styles. Patent
leather is being stressed in line with
mothers preference and there is
much interest in colored soles and
heels, the width of the soles suggest
ing the platform theme.
When it comes to hosiery fads,
mother will have to do more than
accept ombre standings or embroid-
cred heels to keep up with her
daughter. The latest fad to appear
in children's anklets is the "Stop
and Go" idea. One of the socks
has the word "stop" embroidered in
red on the elastic cuff while the
mate displays "go" in green letters.

Sheep Drenching a Step
To Stronger Lamb CrOp

An important step in getting the
breeding flock of sheep ready for
producing next years crop of lambs
is to drench them for stomach
worms, says w. E. Morris, extern
sion animal husbandman, Universe
ty farm.
Stomach worms annually cause
serious loss to sheep raisers,"
stresses Morris, land now is the
time to take the first step to reduce
this damage. Sheepmen may ma
terially benefit their breeding f1ocks
by drenching for worms before they
60 far with their winter feeding"
"Drenching will reduce the infes-1
tation of worms, and will result in
a more thrifty flock throughout the
winter. The ewes will make better
use of their feed, their feeces will
be heavier, they will be more thrifty
and drop stronger lambs in the
spring and will give more milk"

Another costume suit that is OF
major Importance is the REFER coat
type as seen conferred in the group.
This very attractive and youthful
model combines REFER coat done
in one of the new striped woods
strikingly colorful in blue, beige and
japonica, with a tailored beige
frock. Accents of the japonica are
stressed in the large leather buttons
and chiffon scarf.
Short, contrast-jacket suits are the
rage. The fact that they have

style rating, for fashions this sea-
son swing to the tempo of youth. The
model at the top is among the high

pecially important in that it has
the very new swagger swing-back.
This Winsome jacket of navy, rose,
blue and white check is worn over

multi-colored woods like this is that
different colored accessories will
click beautifully with them, thus af-
fording refreshing changes that will
transform the entire aspect of the
costume.
The vogue for plaid jackets over
monotone sheer wool frocks is ex-
pressed in the distinctive jacket
costume suit in the lower oval. In
bright contrast to the navy frock
with novel matching kid belt is the
vivid red jacket barred in gray and
white, with kid closing motifs that
pick up the navy color.

Wet or Drv Mash

Wet mash will stimulate egg pro-
duction in laying birds but it is not
as safe to feed as dry, notes a
poultryman in the Montreal Herald.
Wet mash must be fed with care
because the birds will eat too much
of it and probably interfere with
normal digestion. 1t is more likely
to bring on digestive disorders than
the feeding of dry mash. Most large
poultry firms are doing away with
wet mashes completely. We would
recommend the regular laying mash
in hoppers rather than an over-sup-
ply of bran. The regular laying
mash is well balanced ration and
will give much better results, so
far as egg production is concerned.

Youth Saves Man From
Auto; Heir to Two Million.

NEW YORK.-Picking his way
through the thick traffic of Broad
way near Forty-third street four
years ago, Sidney Swart, then ID
years old and clerk in an emer-
gency relief bureau saw an auto
mobile make quick turn and bear
down on an elderly man with
cane. In two seconds the agile
Swart reached the unwilling pedes-
trian and showed him from the cars

Extremely grateful, the older
man asked SWart's name and adj
dress. He said he desired to ex-
press his appreciation in some man.
ner. Two days later Swart received
letter asking him to call at the
Waldorf-Astoria. 1t appeared that
the name of the elderly man was
Carl Anderson.
Swart lived in two furnished
rooms with his sister, Jean, in
Brooklyn. He told Anderson about
Jean and the latter said he would
like to meet her. Anderson also
lived with his sister, Miss Gertrude
Anderson, 81 years old. Their home
was in Sweden. He was a cheese
manufacturer, here on business.
Anderson took an immediate fan
cy to Jean and eventually presented
her with $4,000 check to travel in
Europe.
Some time later, after inducing
Swart to change his name to Stew
art, he took him to Sweden where
Swart, now Stewart, remained two
years, receiving a musical educa-
ton, a small fishing yacht, and an
allowance of $1,000 month, he
says.
Anderson died in August, 1896,
leaving his protege a $4,000 lega-
cy, and Stewart returned to this
country. Then on last October
Miss Anderson died and today he
received notice that her estate,
amounting to approximately $2,000,-
600, had been left to him.
Now % years old, he plans to en-
gage in radio work and invest some
of the fortune in motion picture and
night club ventures.

About the Farm

The poultry business is represent
ed on more farms the world over
than any other agricultural enter
prise.
Many rural communities solve the
problem of fire protection by form
ing fire district. They contract
with nearby towns.
Protection from dampness and
from drafts are the two require
ments that most poultry houses fail
to meet.
The most practical and lasting re-
suits of rat repression are gained
through campaign to rat-proof all
buildings.
Since beef cattle require the same
type of pasture as dairy cattle, SINH
lar methods of soil fertilization and
grazing management should be fol-
lowed.

Eskimo Heroine

IN 1921, science attempted to find
1 out whether man could live on
the otherwise uninhabited islands of
the Arctic. The experiment proved
more. 1t revealed to the world
the calm heroism of Ada Blackjack,
who will be remembered as the
most courageous woman of the Es-
kimo race.
Four men were landed with a
years supplies on Wrangel island,
10 miles north of Siberia in the
Arctic. Ada Blackjack went along
as seamstress, cook and servant.
One year later a relief ship was to
pick them up.
The year passed but ice foes
blocked the relief ship. 'Lorne
Knight, one of the four men, became
ill with scurvy. The other three left
on a trek across the ice to Siberia
to send a rescue party. No one ever
heard of them again.
Left alone with Knight, Ada
Blackjack went through eight
months more of mental torture. For
two months she nursed him. Then
he died.
The relief ship finally came. They
found her still keeping the diary
that Knight had turned over to her
when he could no longer hold a
pencil.
One entry in the diary read: God
is the only one who will brought me
home again." God did not fail the
faith and persistent courage that
enabled Ada Blackjack to face a
seemingly hopeless situation with
out breaking.

Friendship Citizens
Back QUINN Plea
To Retain Board
Association Also Urges
Kennedy Not to Resign
House D. c. Post

Henry I. Quinn, recently retired
member of the Board of Education,
declared last night that Washing
tons education system is flourishing
more than ever before and ranks
with the best in the country as he
scored the proposed revisions in the
system as embodied in the Griffen-
hagen report.
Addressing the Friendship Citi-
Zens' Association in Janney School,
Mr.. Quinn urged the group to de-
mand specifically that the School
Board be appointed by the District
Supreme Court and that the whole
education setup be continued.
"Our board must be kept an
autonomous body selected apart
from other municipal departments
and invested with governing power
completely independent of other de-
partments or individuals" Mr..
Quinn emphasized. Mr.. Quinn
pointed out that in the majority
of school boards throughout the
country they are chosen separately
from other municipal elections
"Why should the District be selected
as an experimental ground to test
a different system when present
conditions both here and in other
States testify to the success of the
existing education plan?" he de-
manded.
Oppose Several Sections.
The association voted opposition
to the sections of the Griffenhagen
report affecting the Board of Educa-
ton, the Library Board of Trustees
and the Division of Traffic and We
hicles 1t was decided that the
rest of the Griffenhagen plan be
considered open for future study
and action.
The association voted to request
Representative Ambrose Kennedy
not to relinquish his post on The
House District Committee as he de-
clared in a public statement recently
After voicing praise for the work OF
Judge Bolitha Laws in Crimlnal
Court the group voted to oppose any
proposal to assign Mr.. Laws to the
Civil Court.
Protesting the sale of bootleg coal
in the District the association Ia
vored vesting more authority with
the Department of Weights and
Measures to acquire definite lnfor-
nation on such activities, followed
UP with prompt Government action
Oppose Liquor Dispensaries.
Holding that establishment of Dis
trict liquor dispensaries would Gre
ate unemployment of hundreds Ct
independent liquor dealers, the as
sociation opposed the proposal but
at the same time urged that the
Sheppard Committee conduct Its
proposed investigation on illegal
sales.
Increased appropriation for the
school budget to a S602,0OO figure
was advocated by the group, which
emphasized the widespread need for
school Fairgrounds.
The citizens approved plan sub
nitted by President Sam j. Flick
niger to form a council of civic
groups bounded generally by Massa-
Chusetts avenue on the south and
Rock Greek Park to the east.
Mr.. Flickinger urged residents and
organizations in the community TO
cooperate with their children to
end vandalism in public schools.
The president announced commit
tee chairmen who will serve through
