are mflationary," Miss Haines said.
He is inclined to think of imitation
only as the wholesale printing of
money by the Government, as hap
pened in Germany. OF course, this
isn't happening here, and so he
fails to see the trend creeping upon
him."
Miss Haines explained that black
markets create the very means for
imitation in that they provide an
opportunity for spending the high
wages of workers that otherwise
would be loaned to the Government
through bonds, or would be invested,
thereby forming backlog for post
war economic normalcy.
1T Is quite unusual for a farmer
to say that he doesn't want high
farm prices, and yet I say that very
thing. I don't want high farm prices
now because I can look into the
postwar period and see what it will
mean then to me as farmer.
Miss Haines explained that the
economic chaos which will follow
uncontrolled prices could not pos
sibly be offset by the small extra
profits to be made now by farmers
who sell through illegal channels
She said that in raising chickens
for breeding purposes, her f1ocks are
culled carefully each month by State
inspectors. The chickens that are
unsuitable for breeding purposes are
sold for meat.
I'm the past" she said, II have
sold them myself at legal prices. I
may be fool when I know that
other people are getting high prices,
but at least I'm following my con-
ViCtiOnS."

School Bus Problems
Studied in Virginia
Surveys Made in Counties
To CurtoiI Mileage
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va. May 29.-Vir.
ginia school authorities face cru
cial problem in transportation of
pupils next year because of the i'm
possibility of obtaining requirements
for already much worn equipment,
according to DR.. Walter S. Newman,
assistant superintendent of public
instruction.
Surveys are being made in coun-
ties this summer in an effort to ease
the problem through rerouting,
doubling up and other means of
curtailing mileage, DR.. Newman said.
Several of these surveys have al
ready been made and in one county
proposed changes in operation of the
school buses will effect a reduction
in mileage next year by about Is
per cent.
Two men from the Department of
Education are devoting practically
their entire time to these surveys to
be made in counties where the prob
lem appears to be most pressing.
School bus transportation also will
pe cnle1 topic or discussion at one
session of the summer conference of
division superintendent to be held
here June 1924.
A committee Of the Virginia Legis-
lative Advisory Council studying
school transportation will meet with
the superintendents then.
DR.. Newman said much repair
work has been done but new equip
ment cannot be obtained and there
is a limit to repairing old vehicles.

Black Mart Sales Invite Ruin.
Fairfax Poultry Breeder Says

Miss Alice Haines, Fairfax Coun-
ty poultry breeder, has refused three
offers from truckers to purchase her
entire chicken output at black mar
ket prices because she believes that
II the price structure is not con-
trolled now it will mean economic
ruin to the country after the war.
Seated at her home, which over
looks the barns housing her 1900
New Hampshire Reds, and the rolling
hills OF her farm, Miss Haines spoke
OF the farmers relation to imitation
which, she said is threatened bv
black markets.
The farmer" she said, will be
the very first to fight black markets
II he can only be made to understand
what imitation will mean to him after
the war"
Miss Haines speaks of imitation
with first-hand knowledge. While a
student in Germany in the early
l93Os she saw imitation sweep away
the German monetary system, and
she lived through two years when
1t was impossible to carry to a store
sufficient money to make even the
simplest purchase.
After returning to the United
States, she became illustrations
editor for the Encyclopaedia Britain
MICA and was in charge of illus
trating the l4th edition. Later she
was connected with Science Service
magazine, but became a farmer sew
eral years ago after failing eyesight
caused her to relinquish editorial
work.

farmer to realize that black markets
