the probable, future for five major
, farm crops. -
In any ono section whore prnc
ttrolly all farmers may turn from
one product to any ono of a dozen
other when the price of a pro
duct they havo been producing i
not gatiBfactory, the Reneral pioh
jterity of that area Ih not werlouH
Jy threatened. But. explain KpUl
man, principal oconomlHt of the
department of uRrlculturo, thai
privilege doen not always obtain)
for the. producerH of cotton, corn,
oniH, hay and wheat.
There. Ih a Hurplu acrenRO of
each commodity. The cotton acre,
n KO has expanded from 83,000,000
ucreH at the heUwlna of the war
1o 48,0011,000. Wheat went from
M.OOO.OOO acroH to 73,000,000 ha
fore it dropped hock to 08,000,
000. ' .
"Wo. cannot remedy the Hltua
tion for any one of theo five ma
jor crops hy HUhHtltutlntc wimo
other crop for It," Hpillman wiyH.
"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.

The sense of safety Is not based
on statistics. 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.

If your cor bos been spotted
wit h oil or tar, you can remove
the Hpots by first soaking them
wltli lubricating oil or warm lard
and then going over them with a
wen It solution of mild soap dis

In yarm water first, let It cool and
then add cold water. , ,
There Is no accessory made that
pays for itself as quickly and as !
many times over as a pressure j
gauge. It costs something over a
dollar and saves hundreds of dot-

Constantly putting the clutch,
