Farm Population
Shows Increase

On January /, 1910, there were
32,245,000 persons living on farms
the Bureau of Agricultural Econ
omics estimates. This figure is
close to the all time high record
of 1915 when the farm population
was 32,53000O persons. The esti-
mated increase for the year 1889
was 10000.
The analysis of farm population
issued by the bureau in July says:
In general, in the area best adapted
to commercial farming there was
enough migration away from the
farms in the last decade to have
brought about a reduction in the
farm population, but in areas less
well adapted to commercial farm
ing there were increases.

full Of this tomfoolery about

Those old web-feet there,
they really got up on their

They figure that the Army and

PASSAGE OF WEED
ACT CHANGES SEEN
Early Senate Approval Of
House Adopted Amend
ments Is Expected

WASHINGTON, May % -R-
Early senate approval was seen to-
Gay for house adopted amend
ments to the tobacco marketing
quota act to authorize a three-year
control program.
Attaches of the senate agricul-
tllre committee, where the propos-
ais r now under study, said no
objections had been received and
the amendments probably would
be voted out within a few days.
Without objection, the house
passed the amendments last Mon
day.
There are six amendments to
the quota law, Strengthening en-.
forcement features and tightening
control as we'll as providing for
farmer elections on a three-year
program.
The present law limits a quota
program to a single year.
Tobacco growers, in mass meet
ings here and in the growing
states, already have signifed thei1
approval of the changes.
Speedy approval is being sought
in congress in order that a farmer
referendum on a control program
for 1941, 1912 and 1913 may be held
in July. Farmers voted last year
to impose the sales quotas for this
season.
