In Florence, Italy, a strange and colorful custom, preserved from the middle ages, annually commemorates the passing of Lent and serves as an augury for the coming year. As thousands of natives and visitors watch in breathless silence, four white oxen draw a towering, ornamented cart filled with explosives which at the proper moment are set off by a flaming metal dove. If the fireworks explode, great rejoicing follows, for this is believed to foretell an excellent harvest. NEXT: How Greeks roast the Easter lamb.

Indiana in Brief Lively Spots in the State’s Happenings Put Together ‘Short and Sweet.’ By Times Kprrinl BLOOMINGTON. March 21—Improvement in Indiana business during February is shown in the monthly report of the Indiana university bureau of business research. Steel production improved substantially during the month. Bulk of the improvement was credited to the demand for steel from automobile manufacturers, although some orders were placed by railroads. More coal was mined in the state than in any other February since 1930. Although furniture’ factories operated on lower schedules than at any time since May, 1933. total output was well above that in February last year. Slight improvement was made in automobile sales, and was revealed that dealers are having difficulty in filling orders owing to delay on the part of manufacturers in attaining full production schedules. Building was a little more active, but shipments from the limestone belt reached anew low level. Department store sales were about equal to those of February last year and drug store sales were higher.

FARM UNREST ! AGAIN FLARES IN MISSOURI Low Values Fixed by U. S. in Mortgage Renewals Draw Attack. By United Press MARYVILLE. Mo., March 21. Farm unrest, which found expression here a year ago in militant demonstrations against mortgage foreclosures, today threatened to flare against the “new deal” relief setup. Farmers are so resentful of appraisal policies of federal farm credit agencies they are organizing ‘‘pitchfork leagues.” The first step in the renewed agrarian revolt is scheduled for nxt Saturday when a mass meeting will be held at State Teachers’ college. The cause of resentment is the alleged policy of the federal farm credit agencies of ‘‘ridiculously low appraisals and ruthless foreclosures.” ‘‘An intolerable situation has developed,” explained W. H. Burr, secretary of the Nodaway County Farmers’ Protective Association. ‘‘Good substantia] farmers are losing their lands through foreclosure because agents for these federal lending corporations are following a policy fully as stringent as private lending concerns. Moreover, these private concerns are not co-operating with the spirit of the farm relief legislation enacted by the present administration.” Mr. Burr said the farmers did not doubt the sincerity of the government in its efforts to assist him. He explained the general feeling among the farmers was that minor appointees, afraid of losing their jobs unless they followed the conservative policies of the private companies, were defeating the purpose of the emergency legislation. Mr. Burr cited one incident to explain the growing bad temper in the corn belt. One farmer lost his land the other day, he said, because of a difference of S2OO in adjusting a loan between the federal agency and the mortgage holder. “The irony of the situation was that more than $1,000,000 will' be paid the 2,750 farmers in Nodaway county who have signed the cornhog contracts,” Mr. Burr said. “With substantial relief in sight, relief which would enable many a good farmer to keep his land, foreclosures are being made rapidly and in defiance of the spirit of the legislation which was to have provided relief.” Nodaway county is conceded to be the richest agricultural region in Missouri, but the maixmum appraisal for federal loans here is S4O an acre and usually much less. This according to the protective association, appears to be a fiat defiance ■ 'T the government’s instructions to he lending agencies to use the 1929 values as a basis for loans.

yesterday afternoon to discuss a program of inaugurating new prison industries to meet the highway department material needs. Among the plans is the possibility of manufacturing so-called ’ black-top” paving material at the Indiana state prison at Michigan City the Governor said. Thousands of dollars worth of this material is purchased each year by the state highway department for surfacing stone and gravel roads. Gravel pits already are in operation at the Indiana state farm and the commissioners agreed to purchase there. The prison at present makes road signs of all kids and the cement posts used on state highways. A state sales agency is to be established to sell penal products to other governmental units within the state and thus make a market that was wiped out through the banning of prison made goods in interstate commerce, Governor McNutt asserted. • ‘‘Loss of morale at the penal institutions. growing out of the increased idleness of prisoners, is the problem we are trying to solve,” the Governor explained. “We are not trying to establish a competitive plant on the profit basis.”
