FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1943 Farmers Make Great Progress There are individuals in Perquim ans County who do not realize that agriculture has made tremendous progress but they will be better in formed if they ponder figures recent ly released by the National Bureau of Economic Research, which has concluded a three year study of farm production. ' One hundred years ago two out of every three Americans were employ ed in farming. In 1880 the percent age dropped to one out of two and in 1940 it was only one out of six of the working population. The production of farms, however, shows no corresponding decline, rarm output increased steadily from 1899 to 1930, and after falling sharply during the drought years 1933-34, rose rapidly again and now stands higher than ever before. In recent years, says Dr. Harold Barger and Hans Lansberg, authors of the study, farm output per work er has risen steadily, particularly in the raising of staple crops, due to the use of gasoline on the farm more than to any other single factor. They point out that there are nearly two million tractors on our farms. The farm labor force in 1939 was 16 per cent smaller than in 1940 and 20 per cent smaller than in 1920. Yet, in recent years, before war-intensified production, farm output was 60 per cent more than in 1940 and 30 per cent more than in 1920. in the Caucasus relieved the Turks of a feeling of being jostled from be hind by the Nazis. The Russian contribution to fresh air for Turkey is of special interest at this time because it enables Tur key to contemplate eventual mili tary cooperation with the United Na tions without exposing the country to a stab in the back through the Caucasus. Turkey may one day be come a springboard into Nazi Eu rope; the best insurance the Nazis could have obtained against this pos sibility would have been a strong hold on the Caucasus. A great deal has been written about the traditional enmity between Turkey and Russia. A more realistic approach to Russo-Turkish relations in these times, however, is provided by a study of the revolutions that transformed them. Though their revolutions were not similar, yet c feeling of sympathy developed be-J tween the Russian and Turkish peo-. 1 1 1- 11 A t A ' pies wno were iDoin trying io iree themselves of a darker past. The Soviet Union was the first country to recognize the Turkish Re public. And the present situation can hardly be different for the Turks than for other peoples that the ex istence of Nazis in the world makes good friends better friends. Chris' tian Science Monitor.

Prime Minister Churchill says that plans matured at Casablanca will be carried out "during the next nine months" and President Roosevelt promises actual invasion of the Con tinent of Europe. Let no American imagine that these great blows will be made with out loss of American lives. The over throw of the Axis nations can be ac complished only by the destruction of their military power and this means the killing of their soldiers. It is not going to be ;m easy parade. The President admits that "the amazing Russian armies in the East have been delivering overpowering blows" and adds, " ve must do like wise in the West." In the Far East the United ations have no idea of "inching our way forward from island to island across the vast expanse of the Pacific, " as serts the President, who adds, "There are many roads which lead right to Tokyo. We shall neglect none of them." This may be interpreted in the light of his statement that "great and decisive actions against the Jap anese will be taken to drive the in vader from the soil of China." More over, "Important action will be taken in the skies over China and over Japan itself." Like Mr. Churchill, the President exuded confidence as to the final re sults. He looked ahead to complete victory "to the day when United Nations' forces march in triumph through the streets of Berlin, Rome and Tokyo." Admitting that the enemy has strong forces in strong positions in Tunisia and that the impending bat tle will cost us heavily in casualties, Mr. Roosevelt pointed out that Hitler is willing to pay the cost of an en gagement in Tunisia because he knows that it will be followed by actual invasions, designed to make the pressure on Germany and Italy "constant and unrelenting."
