Farm Income Gain
Boosts Buying Power
(Continned from First Page

The desire for automatic devices
goes hand-in-hand with the general
movement to moderniZe which.
Haines said, was expected to result
in an estimated annual expenditure
of $3.50. 100000 for farm home re-
modelling in the United States Tor
the next five years. Based on the
valuation of farm land. buildings
and equipment in Delaware as 500
C46.000. the annual outlay for re-
modelling is expected to total $4p'-
500 for the next five years.
Reflecting this demand, manu-
facturers are stepping up output
over prewar levels. it is reported:
A shortage OF some materials and
labor difficulties have retarded
production somewhat, but a sharp
upturn in volume is expected early
in 1916.
