Old Cornith Tongue
Soon to Be Memory
“ Nebbuz Gerrlau Dro Tbb Car-
noack" was the title of an address de­
livered to the members of the London
Cornish association by Trelawney
Roberta, oqe qf the few inen'stfll aldfc
fo speak the ol(> tongue flf Cornwall.
Translated these mysterious syllables
emerge as "A fe w Words About Corn­
ish.“

Cornish, Mr. Roberts pointed out. Is
not quite so dead as la usually be­
lieved. and he produced as evidence a
postcard written by a little girl of
eleven, who had learned the language
from her father, saya the Living Age.
Prince Lucian Bonaparte )• responsible
tor the legend that Dorothy Pehtreatb,
who died In 1787, was the last peraon
who spoke Cornish, a legend that ta
perpetuated on her tombstone.
l i i e old lady used to swear at tour­
ists In Cornish, usnully ending with
the word»—In discreet Cornish— “ Ugly
black toad 1" In exchange for the cop­
pers lavished upon her by the visitors.'
John Pnvey of Zeenor. who did not die
until 1RP1. could speak It fluently.
Ninety per cent of the place names
in modern Cornwall show trace« of the
old Isncnsge. In spite of the profane
achievements of Mlstrea* Peptreath,
Cornish boasts few oaths. “God's
curse in the kitchen" Is regarded aa aa
alarming expletive.

Forty-two per cent o f the farm ers in the United States blame their finan­
cial difficulties on the low prices o f farm products, according to the Senrs-
Itoebuck Agricultural Foundation, which has completed a study o f the pri­
mary factors affecting the financial difficulties o f the farm er based on a sur­
vey made by the United States Department o f Agriculture. Seventeen per
cent o f the farmers feel that high taxes are the direct cause o f the farm de­
pression, eleven per cent blame the high costs for farm labor, ten per cent feel
that high freigh t rates are responsible, ten per cent blame the high Interest,
six per cent credit the depression to reckless expenditures during boom period,
and four per cent think it was too much credit.
An Inquiry made by the Department o f Agriculture through both bankers
and farmers shows that on an average 5 per cent o f the farm owners In 15
corn and wheat-producing states lost their farms through foreclosure or bank­
ruptcy during the late depression. Four and a half per cent more had turned
over their farms to creditors without legal process, making n total o f nbout
9.5 per cent who had lost their farms with or without legal proceedings. An
additional 15 per cent were really bankrupt, but w ere holding on through the
leniency o f their creditors. By groups o f states the percentage o f owner-
farmers who lost their farms since 1920 w ere us follow s: F ive East North
Central states, nearly 0 per c e n t; seven North Central states, over 0 per c e n t;
and for the three Mountain states nearly 20 per cent. The percentage o f ten­
ants who lost their property ran m aterially higher.
Records o f the Department o f Justice Indicate that In the pre-war years,
5 per cent o f all the bankruptcy cases w ere farmers. During the deflation
14 per cent o f all bankruptcy cases were farmers. In some o f these states
where in pre-war years the farm er bankruptcy cases represented nbout 7 per
cent of all such cases, this percentage in 1022 had risen to nearly !!0 per cent.
These losses have not been due to Inefficiency on tlie part o f the farmers,
points out the Agricultural Foundation, ns practically all o f them w ere In­
curred by men who had been doing fairly w ell until they entered tho period
o f drastic deflation.

T h e Amerlcnn hen cannot be accused o f loafing on the Job. In addition to
furnishing all the eggs needed for American use, she produces a bilge surplus
for export. Last year tills surplus amounted to 30,4XX),0Q0 dozen—<!,200,000
dozen more than were imported. T h e American exports w ere largely eggs In
the shell, which sell at higher prices than the frozen and dried eggs from
China.
In 1014, Just a decade ago, there were 19,000,000 dozen Chinese eggs Im­
ported. By 1018 the Imports totaled 52,400,000 dozen, and In 1020 the number
tiad climbed to 71,000,000 dozen. In 1022, the year the tariff went into effect,
only 2 5 ,827,(XX) dozen were Imported. Last year the number was still further
reduced, with only 23,710,000 dozen coming In.
Present prlres sre not csperinlly attractive to Imports. Th e demand Is
