SNOW DRIFTS BLOCKED
 TRAFFIC THIS MORNING

Piled up by blizzard like wind during the night, drifts of snow from one foot to 3l3 feet blocked vehicle and pedestrian traffic early this morning
 When pedestrians stumbled into a drift, they kept right on going for the wind whipped the snow into eyes and there was no use turning back as the path had already been covered by drifting snow.
 Taxicab service was practically limited and trips above Sixth street, early this forenoon were not being made.
 Many residents found their gar age doors blocked by drifts and consequently walked to office or business.
 The City Street Department, fac ed with weather bureau predictions of above freezing temperatures by tonight or tomorrow, had two bull dczers from 6ommer's Construction Company working to keep streets clear. The City grader was also out this morning. and this after neon the scoop was called out to load trucks in an effort to get the snow off downtown streets at least before rain comes.
 Drivers were urged to keep their cars off the streets as much as pos sible to make the work of clearing the snow easier
 Conditions at the Small Boat Harbor are serious, with scores of craft frozen solidly in the ice CT number four and five floats. Some boat owners have found it helpful to pour rock salt on the ice around waterlines of their craft. This is some help in keeping the ice from freezing too hard and thick Split seams are a very real danger, es- pecially if the weather breaks as predicted. It is most urgent that all boats be checked and watched hy their owners.

RECORD OUTPUT
Farm Productivity Increases

CHICAGO.-Measured on a vol
ume basis, farm output in recent
years has been 30 to 35 per cent
higher than the 1859 average, ac-
cording to an article in the Northern
Trust company's monthly publica-
ton. The gain, it is pointed out,
was recorded despite a decline of
10 per cent in the number of farm
workers.
Although generally favorable
weather and longer hours in the
fields aided in the production rec

important factors were greatly in

methods, wider use of improved
crop varieties of the hybrid type,
