Before his four-year term is com plcted,. hundreds of millions of dollars will luive been spent for public im provements. This will mean reduc tion, if not. total elimination, of un employment, as well as stimulation of C. ROBERT SEALS them; but that's what it did for me! "Believe me, no one can tell me about stomach trouble or the suffer ing. I have had such sharp shooting pains in my stomach, back and shoul ders, that I thought I would go mad. The pains would keep me awake at night and I would get up in the morn ing hardly able to put one foot in front of the other. I had no appe tite and wlint T did fnt disairropd with me and -my stomach was bloated With gas.. I lost weight and was in a terribly weakened and run down condition.

S. Department of Agriculture, which estimates' the farm population of 27,511,000 persons on January 1, 1929 as compared with a" peak of; 32,000,000 ' persons in 1909. The bureau's estimate also shows a decrease in farm population during the past vcar despite improved agri cultural conditions and a slight slack industries and putting vast quantities hening in industrial ' employment, the quicker and cheaper transportation the past year Avduld hav for their products. This will gI-catCr were' it not'offsi many millions, and require thousands . ,".... fwpr ... of skilled and unskilled laborers, as well as technical experts. Congress shortly before adjourning appropriated $150,000 to complete a survey of the proposed Nicaragua!! Canal connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans so as to take the strain off the Panama Canal. Shortly, af ter this survey is completed, work is expected to begin on the canal through Nicaragua so as to have the waterway completed when the Panama Canals capacity to take care of traffic has been reached. The Nicaraguan Canal development, in addition to providing work for skilled and unskilled men of. all kinds. for several years, will cost at least $200,000,000. Work on the mammoth Boulder Dam project, authorized by the Seven tieth Congress also will begin during Hoover's administration. In addition to these . projects, it is , understood that many millions will be spent on flood prevention in the Mississippi River section. Altogether,' the public improvements during Hoover's term will approximate close to a billion dollars." He is not onlv interested in them as engineering and development - projects but because of their vital relationsnip to in unemployment problem and national prosnerity. Although it sounded like idealism during his campaign, Hoover's statement that poverty pugth to b entirely eradicated, mav be fulfilled during his administration.

IJie decrease in larm population e becii much ct by an ex cess of births over deaths, 'the figures revealing that in the movement of population from and to farms, 1,900,000 persons left farms during the year, and '1,362,00 persons moved from cities to farms. The movement away from farms slowed up somewhat during the year as compared with immediately preced ing years, but the' movement from cities to farms was also smaller. Thus it is shown that 1,960,000 persons left farms during the past year, compared with 1,978,000 in 1927, and with 2,- 155,000 in 1926. The movement from cities to farms was 1,362,000 persons last year, 1.374.000 in 1927, and 1, 135,000 in 1926. The large farm birthrate of . 23 births per 1,000 persons, and small death rate of 8 deaths per 1,000 pri sons has been a large factor offsetting the farm to city movement, so that the net loss of farm population last year was 188,000 persons, compared with 193,000 in 1927, and with 649,000. in 1926. .

Figures available from a test made by the Uftktfkyweft Illinois indicated that the average profit, on 264 flocks cvaraging J61 .hens 'each was 86 cents per hen, but the average on the best two-thirds of the flocks was $2.28 per hen. In other words, the "loafers" in the flocks were eating up $1.42 cents worth of the profits the good hens produced, Presence.. of hens' laying less than 90 eggs a vear on farms throughout the countrv' is standing between farm ers and a substantial profit from their poultry, according to U.

Over Million and A Quarter Chevrolets ' The manufacturing facilities of Chevrolet Motor company, numbering 16 great manufacturing plants in this country, are rapidly approaching the volume of output necessary to meet this year's revised annual quota which calls for the manufacture of 1,350,000 passenger car and truck units. This was signified last week when W. S. Knudsen, president of the company, announced that March pro duction would reach 140,000 units, an amazing output when it is considered that active production on the new six cylinder cars has been underway less than three months. Although no defi nite figures were issued it can readilv be assumed that April's schedule will call for an even larger production, and that mid-summer will witness a quantity output in all of Chevrolets assembly plants never before equalled bv-a -manufacturer- of six cylinder automobiles. . Mr. Knudsen related that .February nroduction amounted to 121,249 units. With onlv 22 working days in the month, daily production for the period averaged better than 5,500 a day. These figures lend -further emphasis to the astounding achievement of the .company last fall in changing over from production ot tours to sixes- wun only a six weeks interim to effect necessary alterations. 1 Upon "his return to Detroit a few davs ago from a six weeks trip wlnc took him across the northern part of the country, and into the far west, R.
