AVAPHTXGTOX, June 6. 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.

Many peopl think that whtn they
scure drawings from an architect
they are nut obligated unless the plana
are used in actual construction. 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. Litigation is not a
thing to be desired or sought, but
the moral effect of every cane w.n
in court is of inestimable value to the

It is applicable to a wide range of
conditions, from the most expensive
to the cheapest type of construction,
nnd is not greatly above the cheaper
materials in first cost. A permanent
roof of simple outline need not cost
over $15 to ?2."i per square (100
square feet ) depending upon the
method of construction required; n
corrugated sheet roof for industrial
purposes or for farm use need n-t
cost over $15 per square for ordinary
conditions. ev
Corrugated sine sheets have f.i?
distinct advantage of being nvHibiblc
