State May Lead
In Farm Numbers

North Carolina may now nav e
the largest farm population, OF
anv state, says C. H. Hamilton
head of the Rural Sociology De'
nartment at State College.
Hamilton bases his statem eno
on data gathered during the lsoo
census. The preliminary flgure =
already released by the u s.
Bureau of the Census, show 1ne
Tar Heel State with farm popu,
|iation of 1,37e, 1854. Although this
is down considerably from tne
1,656,5o1 reported in 1910, Hamll'
ton explains that farm popula,
ton has declined rapidly in all
regions during the past decade
and apparently other Leading
farm states have declined even
more than North Carolina.
The 1910 census showed IeHas
leading with a farm population
of 2,149,S17. But Texas took a
whopping 40 per cent loss IN
farm population during the past
10 years, and shows a total OF
only 100000 for 1850.
Although totals for all otnel
states are not yet in, Hamilton
says none is likely to exceed
North Carolina, which was sec
Ond in 1910.

Oil Princess Breaks
Record Set in 1890
BY the Associated Press

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 27.-It wasn't
until the races were over at
Hialeah Park yesterday that some
one noticed 2-year-old black
filly named Oil Princess had bet
tered a 60-year-old world speed
record by scant fraction of a
second.
Oil Princess, owned by Tom
Gray, original owner of the SEN
sational Oil Capital, streaked the
first quarter of the three-furlong
opening race in 21Hs seconds. The
world record for the quarter
mile straightaway is :21A, set in
1890 by a 4-year-old horse named
Bob Wade at Butte, Mont.
In the early days of racing
horses were clocked in quarters
instead of f1fths of a second as to-
day. Thus Oil Princess bettered
by a fraction of second the
previous record, set over go years
ago.
The f1lly, which had a $4,000
claiming tag for the event, fin
ished out the race in :33 31155-only
four -fifths Of q second off the

Victories Over Wilt

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Don
Gehrmann, Wisconsin flash, will
go after World record, his 36th
straight mile victory and his third
straight win over Fred Wilt, FBI
agent, in the Wanamaker event
of the Millrose Games tonight at
Madison Square Garden.
(The games will be televised
In Washington at $50 pm. by
WTTG, Channel So
Gehrmann will be favored to
win the race, but will have to be
pressed plenty to set a world
mark. The meet record and world
mark is 4:05.3, set by Gil Dodds
three years ago, and neither Gehr-
mann nor Wilt has bettered
4:09.3.
Photo Timer to Be Used.
Precautions have been taken to
prevent a repetition of last years
rhubarb. Gehrmann and Wilt
broke the tape in the Wanamaker
almost simultaneously, but it
wasn't until the National AAU
meeting in Washington that
Gehrmann was judged to be the
winner. thus ending a 1O-month
dispute. At the finish line tonight

Besides Wilt and Gehrmann,
John Twomey of the Illinois A. c.,
1ngvar Bengtsson Of Sweden and
Leonard Truck of Ohio State will
answer the gun. It could be q
fast race if Twomey carries out
his threat of maintaining a speedy
early pace.
Bengtsson gave Gehrmann a
tussle in the Washington Star
Games two weeks ago and could
make trouble if he is in shape.
But the main show will be Gehr-
mann versus Wilt. Fred thinks he
can wear Gehrmann down at the
start and take some of the sprint
out of Don's kick at the end.
