SCIENTIFIC FARMING IN INDIA INCREASING COUNTRY'S WELFARE "Fanning in India is being done on a more scientific basis than ever before in th history of the country, and it has enabled the farmer of India to increase his Income by several hundred dollars, -which is a considerably large amount for that country." said Victor M. IlahibakBh, of Calcutta, India, at the meeting of the Rotary club in the St. Mary's Community hall, Tuesday noon. Mr. Ilabibaksh was born and raised in India but educated in American schools, and Is now associated with the Y. M. C. A., In its work in India. "Farmers in previous years in India were averaging for a season's crop about $3.35 a year, now with the new methods they have increased their profits to as high as $500 a year. Believed Impossible "When the new methods were told the natives they would not believe It, thinking It impossible because they iad not seen it done. The peopl were shown the method and were soon convinced what they could do by farm ing the scientific way. They are also being shown the better ways of living by the method of demonstration, al though it is not as up-to-date as it is here; they are getting the same re sults as we do, with cheaper mate rial. "India is one of the most povertystricken countries in the world, which is due to the fact that 82 per cen of the population of the country is rural people. Of this number 71 y per cent live entirely by farming. This is the cause of the poverty of the country and always will be unless they learn the more modern methods of farming. Centuries Without Change "Several years ago farming in India was done practically as it was thousands of years ago, merely because the people had walled themselves in and would not let any of the outside world in. Now they are opening the gates to these walls and learning the outside methods of civilization." Many of the Richmond Rotarians are planning to attend the annual Eleventh District convention to be held in Indianapolis Feb. 21 and 22. The local club will be located in the Lincoln hotel, where reservations have been made for the entire delegation. A bowling tournament will be held in connection with the convention and the local club will enter a team in the meet. The team has not been picked to date but will be selected in a few days. GENERATOR TEST ENDS fill TlirPniV CWrillllP lira llir.lllfti rW TNI mi Final test of the new 3,000 kilowatt turbo generator at the light plant, will be ended late Tuesday evening, according to the statement of light plant officials. The test run will determine the various savings effected through the operation of the new generator, as well as its performance under various loads. I.. C. Weldon, temporary superintendent of the light plant, made a statement to the public Tuesday, relative : the shutdown which lasted about five minutes during the morning. The shutdown, he said, was necessitated by the apnroach of Ihe testing period. Explains Operation. According to him, a circulating pump which supplies cold water to j the condenser, failed to operate pron-j -ily. The condenser filled up with . !iot s'Mtii, losing the vacuum which! ordinarily U kept there when the r.iachine is operating. About 20 minutes ; are required to get the generator turn-, ing over properly after a mishap of I this kind. The five-minute shut off in j current was occupied in getting the; smaller units of the plant into opera-j tion. line of 120-volt bulbs for lighting; ( ircuit-: was advised by Superinten-' lent Weldon. Tuesday. Too many! l atnilies he said, use the 110-volt lamp which is too low a rating for the Rich- i niond circuit. As a result, the bulbs fail to give the service to which the consumer is erttitled. TO TRY GOV, SMALL , SEPARATELY, RULING Ry Associated Press) ".WAUKKGAN. IU., Jan. 31. Governor Smnll today was granted a separate trial by Judge Edwards on the charges of conspiracy to embezzle state funds for which he was indicted with Vernon Curtis, of Grant Park, 111.

Ontario is considering abolition of the office of sheriff, one of the oldest known to English law, but now described by the provincial public service commission as "nothing but a glorified bailiff." Originally the office of sheriff in England carried with it wide powers, such as the trial of criminal and civil cases and the assessment and collection of taxes and is still an honorary position much sought. In Ontario the office was created for police duties, but its powers have dwindled until now the sheriff's sole official functions are appearing at the .opening of the Assizes court in official i dress including cocked hat and drawn i sword, the hanging of murderers, and the serving of a few legal papers No sheriff in Ontario, however, has actually hung a man in a century, that! unpleasant duty being performed by a j paid hangsman, who travels from pro vince to province shipping his gallows and setting it ud where it is needed.

OUTLOOK IN INDIA IS REGARDED DUBIOUSLY BY LONDON PAPERS (By Associated Press) I.ONDON, Jan. 31. Today having) been fixed as the beginning of the "civil disobedience campaign" in In dia, several Iondon newspapers discuss the outlook which they regard with considerable anxiety. The plan laid down by M. K. Ghandl, non-cooperationist leader, to try jthe disobedience experiment first in t the two areas of Bardoli and Anand, seems from various reports likely to be observed, indications being that the scheme will be put into operation throughout a much wider area. Tho recent movement in the Guntur district is cited in support of this supposition. Reports appear almost daily in the London press showing that the noni co-operation propaganda is becoming 1"cuw"ett'u uia '"3 v",xl 'he peasantry is elated at the prospect held out by Ghandi's agents that they shall be exempt from taxation. There are also- indications of serious unrest in some provinces, chiefly at Barabanki and Bardoi, in northern Oudh, where it is reported agitators are exciting the people with assertions similar to those which materially aided 'the cause of the Indian mutiny. Among these are statements that the British are mixing wines with th medicines issued at the public dispensaries and are using pork fat in certain manufactures. (Both pork and wine are anathema to Mohammedans). May Postpone Arbuckle Arguments Until Tomorrow (By Associated Press) SAX FRANCISCO, Jan. 31.

BALANCE OF TRADE BETWEEN SPAIN-U.S.' NOT IN OUR FAVOR

MADRID, Jan. 31 The trade balance between Spain and the United statps n-.-ho .ol.,.. c . ' ""U'cvi uiu the first time in many years. The chief cause of this change was the increased demand in the United States for Spanish olives, olive oil. nuts, fruits, essences and herbs, while Spaniards were unable to import much from the United States up to the end of last year in consequence of thu high value of the dollar. This, however, has since depreciated, with the result that Spanish demand for American agricultural, textile and other machinery is improving rapidly. The cotton mills of both Spain and Portugal are working at high pressure, those in Portugal using large quantities of both American and Brazilian cotton and selling their product to Spain, while Spanish mills are using about 1,000 bales of cotton daily, 9r per cent of which is American grown. The Spanish government which ha.completed revision of the tariff intends to avail itself in the future to a much greater extent of the system of advalorem duties and to this end purposes establishing an office in Madrid for fixing values instead of replying to consular Invoices. Meanwhile negotiations for a new commercial treaty between France and Spain are proceeding and an agreement will probably be announced shortly.
