As the nation's'chief relief agoncy.
whose service covers over 43 years,
the Red Cross is expected to be on
' duty almost as soon as disaster
strikes any locality. This trust ar.d
confidence is amply justilled by tho
« Increasing equipment of the Red
Cross, which recently organized a mo-'
bile disaster unit of experienced work
ers ready in all parts of the country
to respond on the instant to a call
for aotlve duty. Tlils unit Is capaUla
of operating in several disaster areas
under one, general direction, and re
cently was at work in seven communi

or for millions In r-ellef funds for a

The Red Cross, however, Is far
from being self-satisfied, for the or

consideration to measures for pre
venting disasters. Its relief adminis

» ! There Is less price variation due to quality ip hogs than In any other ani
mal In the livestock kingdom. Yet, quality speaks, even on tlie hog market,
with top prices going to the smooth, plump porkers. According to the Sears
j Roebuck Agricultural Foundation, durlng N the past year choice lat-backs In
the lightweight class on the Chicago market, averaging from 150 to 200 pounds,
brought from 37 cents to $1.50 per hundred over common hogs of the same
class. At the beginning of the year choice lightweights were selling 87 cents
: a hundred over the commons. Through February highest prices for lights vtere
181 cents over the low price. During March, April, May and June the spread
: narrowed only to widen again through July and August. In October top prites
| In the lightweight class were hovering around SIO.OO while low quotations were
two dollars less per hundred.
Butcher and bacon hogs are graded as choice, good and medium In the
heavyweights, and choice,, good, medium and common In other weights. For
merly there existed a grade known as prime, which possessed the maximum
of condition, form and quality. At present it Is extremely difficult to get this
gradfe in the desired market weights. Choice hogs have the conformation and
quality that are desired in prime hogs, but are not quite so well finished. Good
pure bred sires are relatively cheap now and flieir use would Insure higher
quality litters next spring. ,

Forty-two per ctjat of the farmers in the United States blame their finan
cial dllliculties on the low prices of farm products, according to the Sears-
Itoebuck Agricultural Foundation, which has completed u sttfdy of the pri
inary factors affecting the financial difficulties of the farmer based on a sur
vey made by the United States Department of Agriculture. Seventeen i»er
ctjnt'of the farn^ers ( f|fel tjhat high tares are the direct cause of the farm de
pression. eleven per cent blame the high costs for farm labor, ten per cent feel
that high freight ri\tes 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 thlpk It wus too much credit.
An Inquiry made by the Dfepartment of Agriculture through both bankers
and farmers shows thUL on lin rivet-age 5 per cent of the farm owners In 15
corn and wheut-prodtXHK; states - lolit their farms through foreclosure or bank
ruptcy during the Jlltf^opta^^(^ol} , . 'Four and a half per cent more had turned
over their farms td creditors without legal process, making a total of about
i).!i per cent who hnd lost their farms with or without legal proceedings. An
. additional 15vper ceit were really bankrupt, but were holding on through (the
V leniency of their creditors.—'By groups of states the percentage of owner
fanners who lost their farms since 1020 were as follows: Five East North
Central states, nearly 0 per cent; seven North Central states, over 9 per cent',
and for the three Mountuln states nearly 20 per cent The percentage of ten
ants who lost their property ran materially *higher.
■ Records of the Department of Justice indicate that In the pre-war years,
5 per cent of all the bankruptcy cases were farmers. During the deflation
24 per cent of all bankruptcy cases were farmers. In some of these states
where In pre-war years the farmer bankruptcy cases represented about 7 per
cent of all such cases, this percentage In 1922 had risen to neafly 80 per cent
These losses have not been due to Inefficiency on the part of the farmers,
points out the Agricultural Foundation, aa practically all of them wet's In

j Where U. S. Farm Products Go
I'roducts of the American farm go to every, civilized country of the world.
Out of the United States each year la seat approximately one-half of the total
cotton crop, one-fourth of the yield of the wheat fields, one-fifth of the porkers
and huge quantities of corn and tobacco, dried fruits and other products of
field and feed lot
The accompanying chart, prepared by the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural
Foundation, shows where the principal exports go.
In the United Kingdom more of America's farm exports are consumed
than In any other nntloa The United Klnfriom uses more American cotton
than uny other ccuiitry, her annual consumption averaging
bales. Germany Is In the market for almost aa much cotton, using 1,011,814 ,
txiunds last year. The United Kingdom la the first market for American wheat
and flour, tobacco, com sirup and condensed milk. Bhe also largeqquan t

Long and Short Live*
, in Scheme of Nature
One of the most wonderful things in
Nature Is the manner In which thing#
are balanced up. The long-lived things
propagate their species slowly; the
short-lived, rapidly. For instance, ele
phants, whales, tortoises and carp
have been credited with lives of any
thing from four hundred years down
ward. And at the other end of the
scale we find Insects which have a
life of hours only. Many theories
have been put forward to account for
these remarkable distinctions, but the
one now most commonly accepted is
that the slower thT> creature Is in
reaching full maturity and the less
Its powers of reproduction, the great
er will be its average longevity or
length of natural life. Nature's object
In such an arrangement Is fairly plate
even to our limited human intelli
gence. For if. such creatures as
locusts, breeding with Incredible rapid
ity. had themselves a life of centuries,
the world would be within a little
while Impossible for other existence.
And the same result would occur did
an Hepharit With a life of perhaps a
couple of hundred years, breed like a
locust. In some way, which as yet we
may not fully understand, the princi
ple of Nature is to maintain a bal
ance of power in our world.
In Something of a Hurry
Every trade has Its stopc of well
known yams, but occasionally a new
one does occur, only, alas, in time to
become a classic. A certain well
know newspaper man wa* holding
forth to a group of writers, among
whom was a rather famous novelist.
The Journalist was saying that he had
recently been engaged in revising the
obituaries held in readiness by his
paper. Turning to the novelist, he add
ed Jocosely: "I've Just been writing
you up."
But the novelist, apparently, had
not been following very closely, and
waking up with a start, he asked
eagerly: "When Is it going to be pub

Engelmann Spruee Valuable
In its fullest development, Engd*
mann spruce becomes a large tree, a
hundred feet or more in height and
three feet or more in diameter; with
a amooth, straight and only slightly
tapned trunk. Great quantities of
Engelmann spruce are cot for lumber
The wood is soft and straight-grained
and Is used for various construction
purposes, as telegraph and telephone
poles, as mine timbers, for the con
struction of log buildings, and to some
extent as lumber for Interior finish.
In contrast with the only other spruce
In Rocky Mountain National park,
Engelmann spruce is of considerable
importance commercially.
Wants Dele Receivers to Werk.
The British government, finding the
system ef doles for unemployed per
sons becoming more sad more burden
some and demoralizing, Is considering
warp and means for getting some work
done in return' for the help that the
unemployed classes need. Gratuity
merely subsidizes unemployment. In
creases Idleness and lowers the self
respect and the morale of the com
munity. The government Is now urg
ing railways to electrify, farmers to
drain and Improve land, towns to ex
tend their public service enterprises,
mills and factories to repair and re
new equipment, the government will
lend its credit to encourage all such
work and use public money If neces
sary to finance It The Idea Is to deal
with unemployment by making employ
ment rather than by distributing
charity.
French Villages Ware Wiped Out.
It is sometimes forgotten that parts
of France are really destroyed. One
wss reminded of this fact by a notice
la the Journal Officio] the other day,
which sets out that the village of
Allies, Beaulne-Etchlvny, M>ussy-sur-
Alsne. Courts con and Ornndela-et-
Blalval In the canton of Craonne, are
merged in otlter communes. This
means that they no longer exist. They
are'completely wiped out. It is not
another Carthage, which is obliterated,
but nevertheless one should remember
that many French communes have been
as utterly lost as Carthage.
