PAGE EIGHT ON FARMS LISTED AS NEXT CURE-ALL " By Frank I. WHIrr ( AnHfM'Iatod Promt 1-VaUiro Horvlco) WASHINGTON, NOV. 2. IP fipnoru) Inrrease In tiio lw of fiirmH and lnereumU uo of Ini'KO labor-Having machinery Ih a pic lura drawn hy W. J.

Wheat went from M.OOO.OOO acroH to 73,000,000 ha fore it dropped hock to 08,000, 000. ' .

"To do so would only lncrea.se a mirplUH already existing In the suh Hthuto crop. "There are two general alterna tlvim which have Home possibili ties. One Ih to uw Home tneanH of rcducinff total crop acn-iiKCH. The other would bo a general in crease In thn Hie of farniH and Incrcawed use of large labor-snvInK machinery thus reducinv coat of production, Milch luH the name effect as Increasing tin .market prices," Both nf then alternates would require a reduction in the number of farm families and the. transfer nf a considerable part nf the pres ent farm- population to other ln dun tries. Neither Is compatible with theories of rural sociology as expressed by fluch farm organiza tions as the Notional Orange and other groups which lament the dwindling farm population. Reforestation of marginal lands, conversion of arable to pasture on some of the best lands, and a gen eral Increase In the number of cattle and sheep on farma, partic ularly In the corn belt and the northern plains region, appear to offer Homo possibilities In balanc ing the output of corn, outs and hay, and, to some extent, wheat.

If It were, everybody would prefer traveling by air. According to calculations mmle by Herbert Brucker of the lteview of Iti'Views, the chance of a fatal accident to an air piiMsenger Is only one In -loan trip. Of the 3S4 persons killed In air plane accidents last year, only 1 ;l, or ;i;i,3 iter cent, were passengers on autboiixed air lines. Most of the others were stunt flyers, ama teurs, and army and navy, men engaged In expe linicnlutlou. Motor accidents killed 27.0!) 7 anil I in In ami train servlco acci dents kilted liU4, but the killing of nine persons by n train acci dent doe to a cloudburst in Colo rado bad less effect upon the popular imagination than the Iokm nf eight lives when n ' transport plane crashed Into a mountain In New Mexico. Hriicker blames newspapers for giving more prominence to air plane than to 'other classes of necU dents, but that is because his sense of news values Is not so fully developed as bis skill In handling statistics. Other tinwwa of accidents have not the Mime news Interest, but every newspaper will lie prepared to publish the interesting fact that only 13 out of A 8 4 air line pas rengrrs were killed Inst year.
