HOW MANY FARMERS.

How many farmers are needed in
the United States?
An article in the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics publication,
"Land Policy Review" posed this
question and then attempted to an
swer 1t. In substance, the answer
was; that depends.
II said the articles author, Oris ".
Wells, farming generally should be
conducted on the same scale as in
the Corn Belt, and farmers should
have the same income as in the Corn
Belt--the nations most prosperous
farming section-only 6,1S2,000
farms and 24,202,200 farm people
would be required. But If it is con-
sidered desirable to maintain the
largest possible farm population by
conducting farm operations on the
scale and comparable income of our
most densely populated commercial
farming section, the Cotton Belt, U.
8. farm land could support about
0,643,000 farms and 45,032,000
farm people. According to the latest
available estimates, there are now
$4,000 farms and 31,774,000
farm people In the United States.

mas tree is the fir. It resembles the
spruce except that its needles are
not sharp. The needles stay on the
tree for a long time, and become a
golden brown before they finally
drop. Needles of a Douglas fir are
fiat and soft to the touch. This popu-
lar tree can be recognized by ex-
amining the cones which have small
appendages on each side.
Hemlocks tend to shed their To-
liage early when kept indoors at a
warm temperature. The distinguish
ing feature Of this tree is the two
white lines on the lower side Of each
of its needle-like narrow leaves.
Pines have never been very popu-
lar as Christmas trees, in spite Of
the fact they do not shed their nee
dies early. This is probably due to
their unsymmetrical appearance,
which does not closely resemble the
conventional Christmas tree. Their

It grows berries instead Of cones.
No matter what kind Of Christ

needles longer If it is standing In

base Of your Christmas tree staSd,
and you will be bothered less with
falling needles than you were last
year.
