PAGE EIGHT THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND WE HlCHmNPS MACONIAN THUrSdav, NOV FARM OUTLOOK IS IMPROVING Increasing Demanid Seen For Farm Products Next Year American farmers will find an increased demand for their products in 1937, according to a forecast sent J>ean I. O. Schaub, of State college, by the federal 'bureau of agricultural economics. Most of the ioQrease will be in domestic co.nsum])tion, but some im provement in foreign demand is al so 'expected, the dean pointed out. The forecast stated that changes in domestic demand for farm prod ucts are determined largely by changes in the income of consum ers and in industrial activity. Industrial activity in 1937 is ex pected to be around 10 per cent higher than in 1936, and the nation al income will probably rise in the same proportion. A slight rise in the commodity price level is also anticipated. Although the demand for farm products is expected to be heavier in 1937, it was pointed out that if farmers increase their production materially, and if the weather is highly favorable, this increase may check any rise in prices due to this greater demand. In this even,t prices during the latter part of 1937 would probably not go above the present levels. However, if prices remain about the same, and the quantity of sales increases, the total farm cash in come would go up.

H. Bennett, chief of the soil conservation service. Water rushes off the hillside just as it does off the table top. B.ut when the table is covered with blotting paper and then a Turkish towel, water spreads out through the nap of the towel and is absorbed by the blotter. In the same way, hill side vegetation retards the quick run-off of rain water, giving it a chance to soak into the topsoil, made porous 'by burrowing wo^rms, insects, and plant trees. Trees, shrubs, and grass, says Mr. Ben nett, are like the thick sap of the towel, each leaf and blade of grass a tiny dam to hold water in one of the greatest reservoirs of all, the soil. Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the old est settlements west of the Alle- ghanies, has 76 business and in dustrial 'enter])rises that were founded before 1850. REVOLUTIONARY “safety styling,” and massive bodies pillowed on rubber-poise mountings for a new kind of “hushed” ride make their bow with the new Plymouth for 1937. Hypoid rear axles, complete soundproofing and big airplane-type shock absorbers are other Plymouth Innovations this year. Interiors are roomier, with the added luxury that only extra space can give. Eight “deluxe” and three “business” body types are included in the 1937 Plymouth Iin4. The models shown above are the new Four-Door Touring Sedan (lower left), the Two-Door Sedan (upper right) and Rumble Seat Coupe. THE FAMILY ^DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINESiMJl MORE EVIDENCE A very old adage has it, “Fools make feasts; wise men eat them.” But we are living in a different age; 1 don’t call anybody a fool be- caiuse he spreads ,a feast—if he can afford it; the very much bigger fool is the fellow that gorges him self at the feast! Last evening, much against my better judgment, I accepted an in vitation to dine at 6 o’clock with a professional brother—our wives were in attendance. The cares of the day were past and gone; it was time for recreation that is so es sential to the brain worker. Every one in the happy group, except myself, adored the six o’clock din ner, and indulged in it at every opportunity. To say that this was . a fine, sumptuous meal, does not half de scribe the setting. It was a tri umph of culinary skill—the quan- THINK! Is this Your Will?

Incidentally, one of the physicians present said he was a little ticklish about coffee—he had a blood-pres- nure of something over 200, and was a bit apprehensive about it; he was only sixty, and looked forty-five. Yet, he was 'being ser iously threatened. My wife and I went to the party in a neighbor physician’s car. As we came home at 10:30 P. M., the doctor said to me, “I’ve had to be a little guarded here lately; Mrs. C— and I are both developing high blood-pressures.” J,nst one thing, dear reader: THE SIX O’CLOCK DINNER.

Even pas tures ^ absorb only a third to a twentieth as much rainfall as for ests. The spongy forest soils ab sorb more water not only in single but in successive storms—an im portant item in flood control. On 23 small watersheds at the headwaters of the Mississippi the run-off from forested land for 1 year was only 38 cubic feet of water per square mile per second, but from grassed and abandoned lands It was more than 10 times as much and from denuded lands was 1,304 cubic feet a second per square mile, or nearly 35 times as great as on the forested land There were no flood conditions from forest run-off, but maximum often reached flood proportions Near Holly Springs, Miss, run- o f in a cotton field averaged 58 per cent of the precipitation, and r some rams was as high as 96 per cent, but was less than 1 per cent in an oak forest Removal of the littw from pine- hardwood plots is the Southern Ap- » "o Igloo, constant Admiral Byrd, that ever traveled earth’s poles. companion of was the only dog to both of the Red Squill Said To Be Best Rat Poison Red Squill is considered by far the best rat poison known, 'but its success depends upon how and where it is distributed.
