Economic Factors
Affect sc Farmers

The level of prices received by
farmers for their products, the
index of prices paid by farmers,
the index of the cost of living,
food supplies available, and prob
able effects of an expanding de-
tense program are economic fact
ors affecting the welfare of farm
ers of the state. In the Extension
Farm Situation and Outlook, DR..
M. c. Rochester, leader. Clemson
Agricultural Economics Extension
Work, gives the following brief
statements on these factors.
The level Of prices received by
South Carolina farmers was
slightly lower on July Is when the
all-commodity index stood at 1913
percent of the 1909-14 average as
compared with 1926 a month ago
and 326 a year ago.
The index of prices paid by
Farmers including interest, taxes,
and farm wage rates remained at
286. A slight rise in the average
price of commodities bought for
family living was accompanied by
a decline in the seasonally adjust
ed index of farm wage rates.
Prices of production goods averag-
ed the same as in June.
Food supplies for domestic con-
sumption in the remaining months
of 1852 are expected to be as
year, according to the midyear
reports on crop and livestock pro-
dUction and on stocks on hand.
With the prospects for an ex-
banding defense program, a high
level of business investment, and
a general rise in total demand TO-
goods and services, consumer in
comes probably will continue to
increase moderately and will Sup
port a high level of domestic de-
mand for farm products in the
1928 marketing year. But ex-
ports of U. S. farm products in
the coming marketing year are not
expected to be as large as in
1951-52 largely because of a re-
duction in foreign demand for U.
S. exports. =

IMPROVE 371
MILES OF ROAD
Maintenance Division of High
way Department Repair
Roads For Winter Season
DIRT ROADS TREATED

A large number OF persons re-
siding on farms will have a hard
surface road leading from the front
of their farms to a main highway
travel on during the coming win
ter months, according to r. A.
Haber, Chief Engineer of the State
Highway Department. At the same
time, Mr.. Haber pointed out, a
number of other places that had
black top roads becoming in poor
condition, will find them improved
for the coming winter season. The
Chief Engineer was referring to
the activities of the maintenance
divisions of the Department in
placing hard surface on num-
ber of former dirt roads during the
recent construction season. Ac-
cording to the records this main
tenance work took place on a total
of Bill miles of roads during the
season and of this total 1882
miles were dirt roads that received
their first surfacing while the re-
manning 247.59 miles were existing
surface roads that were given addi-
tional treatment. The surfacing of
dirt roads for the first time was al
most evenly divided among the
three counties since the records
disclose that 41.6 miles of these
roads were treated in New Castle
while 41.61 miles of dirt roads
were surfaced in Kent county and
the mileage of dirt roads receiving
their first hard surface in Sussex
county totaled 40.31 miles. In ad-
dition to the dirt roads given their
first hard surface treatmen, 1917
miles of existing surfaced roads in
New Castle county were resurfaced
while in Kent county a total of
44.54 miles fexisting roads were
resurfaced, either for the second or
third time, and in Sussex county
a total of 51.35 miles of surfaced
roads were given another treat
ment. Mr.. Haber pointed out that
this work was carried by the var
ious county divisions and was in
addition to the vast major con-
struction program conducted by
the Highway Department which
also included contracts for num-
ber of projects for stabilized earth
and surface treated roads in the
program of Farm to Market
Highways" The Chief Engineer
explained that the program of sur
face treating existing dirt roads is
governed entirely by the amount oi
funds available for that work ir
the maintenance appropriations
and added that while there has
been much progress made in i'm
proving these roads in the past few
years, there remains many mor'
miles of dirt roads that could re
ceive this improvement. He furth
er explained that the roads select
ed in the various counties for i'm
provement, are selected on tn
basis of use, not only by the per
sons residing along the roads, bu
also as connecting link wit
other roads. AS for future pro
grams along this line, Mr.. Habe
cited that the continued construo
tion of major highways will serv
to increase maintainence costs an
that while the Department intend
to continue an extensive prograr
of surfacing dirt roads, such q
was conducted this year, but it wi
have to be guided entirely by tn
amount of funds made availab
for maintainence work.

Bethesda
Swept byFne;
Damage Heavy

A faulty pin-ball machine was
blamed today for a fire that dam
aged the interior of The Galley
Restaurant at 8211 Wisconsin
avenue. Bethesda, Md, early to-
day.
The blaze was discovered by a
paSserby who hurried four blocks
to the Bethesda Fire Department
and notified Fireman Chares E..
Ziehl at 2:07 am.
But the fire apparently started
at 1:50 am, when the electric
wall clock was stopped, possibly
by a short circuit in the pin-ball
machine wiring.
When f1remen arrived, the in
terror was aflame. They chopped
holes in the sky light of the one
story stucco building and dense
smoke poured out.
Firemen confined the blaze to
the interior, but damage was
estimated by police and firemen
at between $4,000 and $4,000.
Emory Bogley, 303 Montgomery
street, Friendly Heights. the owner
Of the restaurant. did not know
of the loss until he was notified
by a reporter this morning. He
said the damage was covered by

TOKYO, Nov. 17.-An Allied
intelligence survey says civilian
morale in North Korea has
dropped to catastrophe depths"
and "the majority of the popula-
ton would welcome U. N.
offensive TO terminate the war;"
The survey, compiled by Gen.
Mark Clark's Far East Command,
says an all-out Red offensive is
extremely remote. and nearly i'm
possible from a supply standpoint.
The report makes these main
points:
North Korea probably would
collapse Immediately without
Russian and Chinese Communist
backing.
Troop Morale Good.
Troop morale at the Red front

; Flee Prison Camp
Al airfax After Cuttinq
ShackIes With Saw
Third Escape for One Man;
BIoodhounds Unable
To Pick Up Convicts' Troll

Three prisoners sawed off their
ShackleS and climbed over a 5-foot
fence to escape from State Road
Camp No. 80 at Fairfax, Va, last
night.
One of them, 30-year-old An
thony P. Keller of Newport News,
had boasted no Jail would ever
hold him. Fairfax authorities said.
1t was his third escape in about
a year. He was serving a 10-year
term for grand larceny.
The other two missing prisoners
are William Willard, 81, who was
serving 18 months for storebreak-
ing in Prince George County, Va,
and Robert Stephens, 10, who was
serving six years for obstructing
operation of a railroad in Smith
County. Va.
An unarmed guard inside the
camp building saw the last of the
three prisoners leave. All were
over the fence before armed
guards could get into the chase.
Bloodhounds from Camp 80 and
the Lorton Reformatory were
brought in to lead the search, but
couldn't pick up the trail. Sergt.
Michael Russell. who is in charge
of the camp, said the prisoners
must have discovered some way
of deadening their scent. He said
they may have put pepper in
their shoes. Guards and Fairfax
County police continued to search
the area today.
A piece of hacksaw used by the
prisoners to cut their shackles
was found in the building. Sergt
Russell said he did not know
where the saw came from, but be-
lieved one of the prisoners may
have found it while working on
the road.
It was the first escape from a
Camp 80 building in six years, al
though the camp has had frequent
escapes by prisoners working on
road projects.
Keller had escaped from the
Newport News Jail last October
by sliding down a drain pipe. He
was caught minutes later. On
April /. he again escaped the same
jail in the same way. He was
caught within several hours. He
previously had escaped from
Federal reformatory.

Clark Told Red Korea Civilian
Would Welcome u. N. Drive
Report Says Morale of Non-C Combutonts
Is IsWretched, but Thot of Troops Is Good

Korea's food production is con-
fiscated for the Red armies. Com
munist leaders maintain control
only through iron-fisted police
state methods.
Civilians have all but aban-
doned the cities. The Red capital,
Pyongyang, has only a 10th of
it's prewar population Of 100000.
North Korean workers receive
the equivalent of so cents a day.
An ordinary aspirin tablet costs
days wages.
Labor Conscripted.
Farmers and other civilians are
forcibly conscripted to repair
roads, rails and Notifications.
The North Korean economy is
virtually non-exiStent. Rear area
industry is on a shoe-string basis.
North Korea can produce only
small arms and light equipment
and t2;at in limited amounts.
Heavy e'.alpment such as tanks,
aircraft, artillery pieces and big
shells must come from Russia or
Red China.
The report was compiled to de-
termine some of "the broad effects
of air power as employed in Ko-
rea." It was distributed by the
Far East Air Forces.
It emphasized that the static
situation IN the forward areas"
has prevented Allied war planes
from stopping "the enemy's ca
pability to logistically support his

Supplies Reach Front.
~ Red soloiers at the front, the
report said, get steady filtering
of supplies by shuttle runs on
bombed rail sections, night truck
movements, pack animals and hu-
man carriers.
The current harvest is expected
to maintain the present subsist-
ence level for civilians. The report
declared that should low food sup
