PREDICT 5 BILLION
INCOME FOR YEAR III
Expected Farm Income
For Year Estimated at
$1O,6OO,OO0,0OO

A total national income of at
least sS5,OOO,OOO,OOO for 1941 was
forecast recently by economists Of
the Department of Agriculture.
Looking beyond 1941, the econo-
mists said, it was probable that thu
1912 income would reach $4,000.
100000 and that the rate of indus
trial production would be forty
per cent greater than in the boom
year of 1929.
Given a continuation of favorable
weather for the rest Of the crop
growing season, with a continual
ton of the war, the farmer may
expect 1941 to surpass 1929 in PROS
per:ty, the experts said.
heir prediction was that 1918
cash farm income would be about
$40 500 100000 - or about $1,500,-
600 better than 1910.
The economists said that farm
income of $10,600,O00,0 would fall
short of 1929 $11,221, 100000 in
terms of dollars, but would surpass
the latter in buying power. They
expect the 1941 farm dollar to buy
at Least IS per cent more non-farm
goods and services than the 1929
dollar did
On this basis, they explained, the
expected 1871 farm income Of S10,-
600,o00,O00 would buy as much as
$12, 1870, 100000 would have bought
in 1929.

that for a modern business man or

amount Of reading time news
papers, magazines and books are
all bigger and nor numerous.
For a long time oral reading re-
ceived the chief emphasis in the
primary grades. Now silent read
ing has to a considerable extent
taken it's place. 1t is difficult for
teachers to estimate how efficient
this silent reading is. The Year
Book Committee on Reading rec
ommends specific periods for guild
ance in reading. No one knows how
many students get into the higher
grades handicapped by a funda-
mental inability to do efficient
reading. No figures are available
concerning the increase in the
number of college failures due to
reading disability.
l. New Instruments
Two new instruments have been
developed - n which aids in
measuring accurately reading
ability (the Ophthalm-O-Graph)
and one which corrects and trains
reading habits (the Metron-O-
Scope).
A brief description of what hap
pens when you read will simplify
an explanation of the two instru-
ments. Normal eyes read in a
series of swift jerks, pausing at
intervals scientists call these
pauses fxations) to focus on a
word or group of words. The
amount of print recognized in a
single fixation is termed the span
Of recognition.
If you are an efficient reader,
there will be relatively few ft.a-
tiors-the average being eight to
a ten-word sentence. An inefficient
reader will have many more, and
in addition will generally retrace
in his reading (called regressions)
to understand what has been read.
The Ophthalm-O-Graph is a
portable, double-barreled moving
picture camera which photographs
light reflected from the eyes as n
reads. The resultant film or read
ing graph reveals upon analysis
the subjects reading habits, such
as reading speed, fixations, span
of recognition, and other data. The
readers comprehension is also
