Ameri can farmers are gradually adopting modern methods. They are electrify ing their farms. Out of the G.fiOO.OOO farms In this country, government census figures show,, only 400,000, or leBs than 8 per cent, are equipped for the use of electricity. But the farmers are taking to mod ern methods of lighting and power, the Department of Agriculture adds. The demand for electric service is becoming more and more insistent. Whole communities are calling for the use of electricity in their homes and on their farms. In Ohio, a statewide movement has begun to electrify its farms. A sur vey is being made of the extent of electrification on Ohio farms, - and from this it is expected to devise some means of putting the majority of farms in the satte on an electrical bai!ni nf Ohio's 2r(1.000 farms. 83.000, nr too nir cent, use electricity.. The percentages vnry from 1.8 per cent in two counties to so nnu per ui in two other counties. Onlv nbout 7 per cent of the farms in the entire country have electric light or even gas, government fig ures show. And less than d per cent get electricity from a central service station. 1 This low percentage is the average of a widely divergent use of elec tricity on farms. In California, for inntnnre. more than 27 per cent of the farms get electricity from central stations, while Georgia shows a simi lar rate of only l-2mh of 1 per cent. Yet the demand for rnral electrical service is growing steadily. Tower utilized on farms is increasing an nually at i the rate of one-quarter horsepower for each farm in the coun- Farmers cooperatives are helping in the distribution of electric light and power by the purchsse of elec tricity as groups and distributing it among their members. With these organizations working for better application of power on the farms, nnd with other means of ,Wninninr Mi use of rural electri- ;.. .nrrnininh officials believe that the' next 10 years may see half of to farms of the country electrified. WASHINGTON. June 6. If th far-famed busy bee is really busy, she doesn t show it by actual results ThiB is the conclusion formed by scientists of the TT. S. Department ot Agriculture, who sought to i swer the question, "How busy is the busy bee?" They found, after close and pa' tlent observation, that it took 507 bees all of their lives to produce one pound of their precious nectar. Reduced to one bee, this means an average of only eight-tenths of a gram of nectar collected during its entire life. And a bee mnkes an average of 31.05 trips to and from the hive be fore death overtakes her. These facts were nsoertaind by ac tual count of bees leaving and enter ing a test hive. Gate arrangements were made, so that only one bee could leave or enter at a time, enabling a counting device to keep tub on them. Knowing the total amount of nec tar gathered in any one day, and the number of bees returning to the bive, the observers could tell how much each bee carried on au average. This was decided upon as about milligrams, or nbout as much as will go on a pinhead. In the course of the study it was learned that of the 2,434,000 bees that left one htvo 3.10 per cent failed to return. From this the observers deduced that the average bee makes about 31.6. trips before it dies. A bee may make a trip lasting any where from eight minutes to one hour nnd f4 minutes, depending on the honey flow. The figures seem to show, however, that even In heavy honey flow the bees spend more: time In the hive than they do on the trip itself. The quantitativt index' of real es tate market actively computed month ly by the National Association of Heal Kstate boards reached a new high point in April The index, calculated from official records of actual num ber of transfers and conveyances re corded in 41 typical cities, measured eight points higher for the month just past than for the preceding month and 17 points higher thau for April of Inst year. The April index figure, just ascer tained, reached 170. the highest point ; recorded for the year. This means that the actual number of real estate transfers and conveyances in the .i ies reporting was 70 per cent higher, during the month just past than the average number of such transfers and conveyances recorded in the same cit ies during April in the period H10- ! V.yjii, which period is taken as the i base of the association's reckoning. J The figures for the current March wsa 1(VS. For January it was 171, and for February 173. The total number of real estate in struments recorded in April exceed ed the number recorded in March by 11.R33 in the 41 cities reporting. The upward tendency shown iu the real estate market is quite in line with reports of an upward trend in building. Reports of building plans filed and of pormits issued in 305 cit ies and towns compiled by S. W. Straus & Co., for example, show a gain of 32 per cent as compared with April of a year ago. The April volume of building con tracts ea reported to the F. W. Dodge corporation is announced aa the 1arg est monthly total on record. Con tracts awarded In the 30 Eastern states showed nn increase of 14 per cent over March and of 13 per cent over April of last year. The index of real estate market ac tivity shows an action similar also to that of the index of automobile production, which has been high for April. The mouth just recorded is the first April since 1021 to show a gain in real estate market activity over March, although April of last year showed an index figure only one point lower than the March peak.

The Southwest Rudder and Contractor re marks that those same persons would expect, however, to pay a fee if they wrre to commit a lawyer, even though they decided not to retaiu him; and if iiicy were to call upon a doctor for advice, would expect to pay for it even if they did not follow it, and con tinues: "Preparation of sketches or draw ings tor a building are just as much proffusioufll service as legal or medi cal advice. Architects, themselves, perhaps, are as much to blame ns the public fur lack of appreciation on the part of the public of their nMigiiTii.ua for professional service. They allw themselves lo he imposed upon be cause of their fear of offending nme one whom they may consider a possi ble client, hence the popular notion that If n architect's drawings lire uot used no obligation to pay fur them is entailed.
