Rnbson I’,-irk, Mass., Mar. Ik.— New strength in wheat is reflected in the department of agriculture report of conditions on March 1st. Market move merits and prices meantime, tend to offset the recent break in the wheat market. The first fact of vital inter est brought out in this report is that wheat on thr farms totals l 14 million bushels as spared with 137 million bushels on tile same date a year ago. This not only answers the moots ques tion as to exactly how much wheat the farmer still ha; hut it indicates the effect of unusual foreign demand. Fig ure on stocks in country mliis and el evators for the same date shown 7(1 million bushels in storage as compnr ed with 102 million bushels last year In spite of the fact that, our 1!>24 crop was 872 million bushels, almost a hun dred million bushels more than Inst year's 785 million bushels yield; out pre.-cnt supply of wheat, as reflected in stocks ’ on farms and In country mills and elevators as of March 1st, is more than fifty million bushels Irelow last year! Exports have absorbed these mil lions of bushel^ and the future of wheat prices will depend upon this : ame export demand. Subtracting our own normal requirements during the next four months from these figures showing total supply of wheat we find that we have less than 90 million bush els left for export and carry over. Wu cannot export more than that and It is probable that we will go into the new harvest with graneries completely emptied. Under these circumstances wheat prices should he very sensative to any change in the trend of foreign demand and to any news of the new crop and its probable proportions. In any event wheat is a strong statistical position and the lack of sizable carry over argues well for next year's prices. Other Crops are also in favorable position. This same survey by the crop reporting board of the department of agriculture shows 801 million bushels or .72.9 per cent of the corn crop on hund as compared with 1157 million bushels or 77.8 per cent of the 1923 crop on hand March 1st last year. The ten year average supply on hand as of March 1st figures to 38.1 per rent. Our present supply of corn, therefore, is 5.2 per cent below the average for this season of the year. unis on (arms March 1st, total to/ 550 million bushels or 05.7 par cent of the crop as compared with 447 mil lion bushels or .'14,5 per cent on hund Inst yeur. The ten year average is 30.7 per cent so our present supply of oats is slightly below the overage. Barley on farms March 1st, was 43 million bushels or 23 per cent of the crop as compared with 44 million bush els or 22.7 of the crop last year. Again wo are under the ten year average of 24.9 per cent on hand March 1st. Hay on farms March 1st, is report ed aa 37 million tons or 33.2 per cent of the crop as compared with 33 mil lion tons or 31.4 per cent last year. About 14 per cent of this crop will In shipped out of the counties where grown as compared with 13.1 per cent so "exported” last year. Supplies on hand of practically alt stocks are below the ten year average and prices are holding to relatively high levels. Thut Opportunity* in Hogs. A few weeks ago, in this column, we called attention to the opportunity then ex isting in hogs. A short corn crop at high prices was then driving the farmers to sell both hogs and corn in stead of feeding the high priced corn to the hogs. The move was going too far and threatened an acute shortage of hogs during the coming year. The price at that time was little over $10. Now is it around $14. The advance so far, according to one authority repre septs a little over $7 a hog and will total over fifty million dollars in add ed income for the farmers during ,tht next year in spite of the fact that our hog crop promises to be at least 25 per cent under normal. The shortagi still exists and there is still an op portunity in hogs. now nurn i oicon to uie Acre : Last spring a Texas newspaper offered a cadk prize for the Texas farmer pro ducing the most cotton from five acres of ground. The winner grew al most 11 bales on his five acres or ati average of 2 bales and 80 pounds to the acre. Compare this with the aver age yield for Texas which is report ed as to sevenths of a bale of 142 pounds of cotton to the acre. We do not mean to infer from thm that ove» 1,000 pounds of cotton can be grown op every acre of cotton land, nor on every acre of cotton lands in "Texas, but the facts brought out in this com parison suggest that production per acre may be materially increased if more care and thought is used in plant ing and cultivation. The prospect for materially higher cotton prices is not promise. In fact a price level much higher than the present would en courage expansion of cotton growing abroad and would ultimately prove ;« handicap. If production per acre can be increased, however, the cost of growing cotton will be lower and the profit of the planter can be increas ed without a higher priee level for hia crop. The Outlook Per the Farmer ia the best since 1920, according to a sum mary of the agricultural situation is sued by the agricultural department. The department anticipates good bu siness ahead for the farm industry, pointing out that the good fortune of general business is that tbe country! has finally worked out from under its paralyzing supluses thus giving! Strength to future prospects. The corn situation is obvious, with no stocks of j old grain; wheat surpluses have like wise disappeared; while the large cot- ■ ton crop which htreatened an unusu-l ally heavy (nrry over ha been brought to normal by large exports. The farmer’s prosperity is fundamen-| tal to the national good and the trend j of developments moves toward prop,. | perity. PNEUMONIA Always call a physician.

Ry MISS BEATRICE COBB Secretary of the North Carolina Press Ass'n, Writing in “Public Service,” Published by the North and South Carolina Public Utility Information Bureau. The doleful refrain of walling pessi mists that the world is going to the dernnition bow-wows and that our young women are in the vanguard of the procession seems to me an alto gether discordant note in this advanc ed day. No doubt it is well that we have these vinegar-tasters with us. They probably serve more or less as balance wheels, or they curb over-enthu siasfn or keep the pendulum from swinging too far in any one direction— at least they must he here for some purpose. But theirs is a minor note. The world is moving on and upward all the time and as always the halle lujah chorus is drowning out the squeaky discords. Tho*e are those who would have us believe that jazzma&la has gripped and destroyed womanhood; that mod ernnity has withered all the sweet ness and solidity of otir young women and that flaming youth has blighted lovely girlhood. • Not so! All the huh-hub one hears in these latter days Is not occasioned by deterioration—it is merely change. HIT1 an any of our so-called students of sociology .fall into that terror; any thing that is not as it always was augurs disaster. People are just dif ferent these days; that is all, as 1 see K. Studying Home-Making. One of the most encouraging signs of the times—and it is only on this phase of the question that I shall at tempt to comment---is the vast in crease in the number of our young ■women who are today studying home making and home economics. Co-in eidentally are the increased facilities being offered by the schools and col leges for pursuit of these studies. Possibly it was n6t generally noted, hut there was a significanct registra tion at Trinity College, now Puke University, at the opening of the present term. It was that of a young woman who wished to take,a course in “home-making.” Further significance la found in fig ures issued recently by the United States Bureau of Education which show that the “increase of student enrollment in home economics cour ses is greater than that in any other subject.” At present there are approximately 8.000 high! schools—this doesn't in clude colleges—giving courses in do mestic economy with an estimated at tendance of 400,000 girls and ,‘i.OOO boys. Including the elementary schools, the Bureau estimates that there are now more than 4,000,000 young people learning how to keep house and cook according to the latest improved methods. Add to these the hundreds of thousands of girls and women who are taking the cooking courses offered by the gns companies of the country and the number is still more impressive. More Time For Frolic. Those figures appear to me worthy of consideration; especially would I commend them to the pessimist. They mean that the pretty, saucy little misses of today are not g>,en alto gether to fun and frolic. It is true they have more time to frolic and more time to make themselves pretty. That is the case with the mothers as well. For house-keeping is not the drudgery today that it was when some of us were girls. Improved methods and appliances nave relieved us of many of the old time burdens. The smoky, dirty old wood and coal stdves have been replac* ed by clean, convenient gas ranges; the water spigot Is right at the elbow; the obnoxious kerosene lamp is re placed by a steady electric glow and the whole kitchen is bright, cheery and easy to operate. So it is there you will And explana tion ^f the fact that girls and women these days have more time for play and more thought for beauty. Mod ernlty in the kitchen has greatly re duced the population of Cinderellas. Our girls are studying how to make homes, how to make them bright cheerful and comfortable and at the same time*how to retain for them selves the freshness and beautv of youth. Kitchen the Keystone.
