CROP VALUES UP That something pretty substantial actually has been done to better the condition of the farmer is shown by the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics crop report for 1933, re cently issued in Washington. This report shows that the . value of the nation's farm produce in 1933 jumped fully $1,000,000,000 over the figures for 1932. Total value of all farm crops grown in the United States in 1933 is set at slightly better than 84,000,000,000 as compared with a 1932 valuation of approximately S2.879,' 000,000. It is worth remembering, too, that this increase ! took place in spite of diminished production or, perhaps, if the farm doctors at Washington are correct, because of it. Total volume of crops for the year was unusually low. i In one way or another, farm prices have taken a healthy boost Whether this happened because of or in spite of the federal farm program; it is a good omen for the future. WHEN A LIFE IS AT STAKE Strange, how all the attention of a busy nation can be , focused oh the plight of one tiny baby! When 5-months-old Sue Trammel! of Texas fell ill of a malady that required the most delicate of operations, the whole Country held its breath until she had been got 'to a hospital where that operation could be performed properly. A visiting nobleman gave up the use of his airplane; one of the land's best aviators' drop ped everything to pilot the child on a long and perilous flight; officials of distant cities did all they could to expedite mat ters. , And the story of this spectacular flight, meanwhile,' oc cupied newspaper front pages from coast to coast, and mil lions of people waited anxiously to learn how it came' out. Straight, and revealing, the way in which the sympathyiof a nation can be focused on one small baby!

The Impression seemingly was that he was weU satisfied so far wiin tne course followed. To the die-hards and those .who have believed there would be a re turn to old methods eventually, the following words must have sounded ominous: '. . . We have undertaken new methods.

Why, they tell her every thing, want her about all the time, love to be with her, and even Insist on her presence when they have young people In the house! " And many of the unwilling vic tims of this same mother's smug self-satisfaction, smile wickedly when they see the confiding children up to mischief when their mother's back is turned. ,.s Contact between parents' and child ren can and should be close and har monious, but as the children advance from babyhood Into their teens they must have a spiritual privacy, or they will be crippled for life quite as much as If they lived in a gold-fish bowl. Children resent prying eyes, even of their parents, pood manners and habit may lead them to an appar ent frankness, but behind this there nearly always Is withdrawal. And they know their helplessness in the power of a devoted and in quisitive mother. They have not yet developed the defenses which adults have learned by experience and, in a heart to heart talk at night, may let out, and so spoil, a precious and harmless secret which they had cher ished as their very own. Small wonder that in time they learn to He, to break bounds, to go to any length to prevent their en tire lives from being scanned and discussed with someone, no matter how dear, and their growing Indi vidualities submerged in the smoth ering atmosphere of a too close and confining home life.
