Hu Unitcd t’rcxx CHICAGO, March 8.-—Thousands of grownups who still retain some- ' thing of the spirit of childhood stood with bowed heads in various parts of the Middlewest while the body of Eugene Field, the children s poet, was lowered into its last resting place here Sunday in the yard of the church of the Holy Comforter. Heads were bared to the sting of snow and wind by those who were present to see the actual burial, but at the same time in other communities young and old alike were paying tribute to the memory of the author of “Little Boy Blue,” “The Sugar Plum Tree” and “Wynken Blynken and Nod.” Bike the little tin soldier wdiich he

PLIGHT OF FARMERS REVEALED BYSUR VEY Big Business Finds Rural Folks Not Even Half as Well Off as Average American Wage Earner.

Bn Timex Special NEW YORK, March B.—Realizing America's economic structure cannot be sound while so vital a factor of it as American agriculture is unhealthy, the big industrial interests of the nation have investigated the situation of the farmer and have confirmed the fact that he is in a very bad way. The farmer, they find, is not even half as well off as the average American. His buying power has been growing steadily weaker for the past twenty-five years. For every dollar of national income received by the worker In other occupations, the farmer receives about 40 cents. These findings are based on a year’s survey conducted by the national industrial conference board, an industrial-economic research organization supported by manufacturing, mining, transportation and public utility Interests. The survey concludes that what the farmer is suffering from Is a "serious economic maladjustment.” It. is no longer paying agriculture to maintain Its production in proportion to the population increase. Overhead Cost Overhead farming costs rose 100 per cent between 1900 and 1910 and 600 per cent between 1910 and 1920, the board discovered. The farmers combined costs per unit of pro-

would be broken about June 1. Plans for the new high school call for added units as the attendance grows, and the ultimate cost will be about $1,000,000. The first unit, pictured altove, will accommodate 600 pupils. As the school

ductlon rose 300 per cent in twenty years, but wholesale prices of farm products rose only 120 per cent in the same period. And for the last five years, it is asserted, the net return on the Individual farm operator investment has* been only 2 per cent. The conference board presents the following table showing the actual average earnings of workers in other industries for 1924 as compared with those of the farmer: Farmers, $730. Factory workers, $1,256. Transportation workers, $1,572. Clerical workers, $2,141. Ministers, $1,678. Teachers, $1,295. Government workers, $1,650. Other groups, $1,415. Drop in Income The drop in the per capita income of farm dwellers Is graphically shown by the following figures: 1919 1920 1921 Farm .... $362 $298 $lB6 Urban .... $723 $Bl6 $7Ol Inasmuch as these are all averages. the survey points out, there are as many worse cases as better ones; there are as many farmers making less than 2 per cent on investment as are making more than 2 per cent. Thus there was an Increase of 1,000 per cent in farm failures be-

grows, an attendance of from 2,000 to 2,500 pupils is expected. The Rev. Peter Killian is chairman of the committee which includes the Rev. R. R. Noll, the Rev. Albert Blsald, the Rev. Morris O’Connor, and Dr. Hamill. tween 1910 and 1924, while commercial failures remained virtually the same. Figures almost as startling are shown when It is added that the amount of invested farm capital dropped from $47,000,000,000 In 1920 to $32,000,000,000 in 1925. Yield Decreased The per capita acreage of improved farm lands has decreased 16 l>er cent since 188 and the crop acreage has decreased 7 per cent since 1900. Even the yield per acre on principal crops has decreased 4 per cent In the last twenty-five years. For the same period, farm production in proportion to urban population is down .20 per cent. What is needed, the conference board concludes, is ”a more scien tific coordination of all business and industrial activities" —including the business of farming. The agricultural problem, it reiterates, is every body’s problem. JUDGE TO BE SPEAKER Brooklyn Jurist Will Address St. Patrick’s Day Meeting.
