RURAL SURVEY AID TO FARMER Agricultural Department Gathers Valuable Data Through Post Office Since there in a misunderstanding (,n the part of some farmers in this l.Miility as ,0 ,he tisettilnesß of the information to hog pbqductlon anti , iop acreages, obtained from the cards distributed by the rural mall carriers, Postmaster Fritsinger has requested ihe Daily Democrat to publish the following statement furnished him by tho I nlicd Slates Department of Agrlcul Hire. These surveys are made with tho ] lielp of the rural carriers, who either distribute thte Cards to a certain nujn- [ her of farmers along their routes, with tlie request that these he filled out, or the carrier fills out the card himself by interviewing the farmer. Tile chitin- is instructed to get information from farms which will give a good aveicge of sample of farms on his route, preferably by taking ull of the farms along a part Os hl s route, big and lit-1 tie. good and poor, owned and rented. H a fair sample of all farms is returned in each state, figures for these farms should show the same changes ns all farms. It is impossible to take an actual census enumeration of all [arms <BacM J fcar » 80 changes in production and acreage each year mut be cstiinftted from samples. The nearer | these samples are to being exact, the more correct will be the estimates. The need and value of such Information for individual farmers and agriculture in general hardly need be stressed. Without dependable information As to actual production and trends of production both livestock and crops more balanced production and better . market distribution are impossible. ' The Department of Agriculture is tlie best qualified agency to undertake such work, but the accuracy of its estimates debehds tiponhhe accuracy of the returns made by the farmers. Tlie beneficial effects that such information may have upon price is shown by the level of hog prices dur-1 ing Hie winter of 19JM-25 compared to the previous winter. The pig surveys of June and December 1924 showed a decided decrease in hog production in 1924 compared to 1923. Marketings, however, during the winter from the 1924 crop were almost as large as the previous winter, and in December and January were the highest on record, in spite of these heavy marketings, hog prices were from $2.00 to $3.00 per hundred higher than during the winter before. The heavy marketings were rightly interpreted as being an rally marketing of a smaller number of hogs -caused by a short corn crop and not as indicating a correspondingly ah-get number of hogs. But unless these estimates can be kept dependable the trade will disregard them and will be guided either by private estimates or by actual marketings as these take place. Therefore, I every farmer should help to make these reports accurate by making the report for his complete and accurate.

Ctillnpse nf the negotiations preliminary to a plebiscite for settling the long standing Tarna-Arlca hound-ary dispute was foreseen today as almost certain. Well informed persons viewed the situation following Chilean refusal temporarily to participate in the negotiations as well nigh hopeless and anticipated that the break would not be avoided. This impression was strengthened by remarks of President Alcssandri. of Chile, who declared that while Chile had encountered in Washington a "great co-operation for the work of peace," the development subsequently had shown (he emissaries of peace “came sowing war, discord and hatred among nations." O- ~ i Modern Heating, Lighting And Plumbing Improve Farm Living Conditions By Richard C. Wilson <U. I*. staff Correspondent) Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 25.—(United Press)— The Nebraska farmer is rapidly putting bis living conditions on a par with his city neighbor. lit addition to this, he is making the farm home an alluring place for his sons and daughters. During the past five years the 127,000 Nebraska farms have increased the number of farm home modern heating plants 75 per cent, the number of modern lighting plants 87 per cent, and the number of farm homes with running

1 water US per cent. The Increase in these conveniences of life during the past year ha» 'teen I nearly 25 pebceht, acofruing to ihe ' state department of agricultural atatittles which has just completed a compiliatlon of farm Improvement--. | Records of the University of Nebraska show that nearly 35 percent of the 8,000 students enrolled this year come from farms. Nearly 80 perecent of these farm students are studying .crtifrvcs pertaining to agri< ulture. Chancellor Samuel Avery of the uni-i'.-et-slty, when shown the figures giving the number of modernized farm holnes in the state, expressed belief that thhe college training of farmers' sons and daughters was Instrumental ih bringing about modern farm homes. ! "Aftt-r the farm youth has had a taste of living In a modern city home during hls college training It i s only 'natural that he wotlld desire the same thing when he returned to the farm," I Chancellor Avery pointed out. “It is a wise farmer that provides these present day conveniences and keeps his sbhs and daughter,, on the farm.” The rapid Increase In modern con- —- - — - - BMUMN Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets Get at the Cause and Remove It Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel, act gently on the bowels and positively do the work. People afflicted with had breath find quick relief through Dr. Edwards'Ohve Tablets. The pleAsanl, sugar-coated tablets are taken for bad breath by all who know them. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets act gently but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural action, clearing ihe blood and gently purifying the entire system. They do that which dangerous calomel does without any of the bad after effects. All the benefits of nasty, sickening, griping cathartics are derived from Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets without griping, pain or any disagreeable effects. Dr. F. M. Edwards discovered the formula after seventeen years of practice among patients afflicted with bowel and liver complaint, with the attendant bad breath. Olive Tablets are ptirblv a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil; you will know them by their olive color. Take one or two everv night for a week and note the effect. Jsc and 30c.
