SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 14, 1435.

CASH INCOME FOR (FARMERS INCREASED Figures Show Income for this Year Increased 4S* MHiion Dollars < Over Last Year. — Hog* and lambs soared to new I November highs under brisk compe- I tition in semi-holiday trade at the I stockyards. Th* latter reached ’ >10.35, the highest November Ixrab j top since 1929, while new crop hog* I were bid up to a peak of <11.86, I proceasing tax included, the highest November mark in nine year. Hog* ar* selling about 20 per cent under the high level of prices maintained on "famine" receipts during the summer, but they are far above normal for this time of year. Current prices have been exceeded in November only twice since 1920. The highest November hog price , prior to th* world war was $8.70, established in 1910. According to "Business Week* the , farm cash income up to the end of : September, this year, was a quarter of a billion - dollar* ahead of last ; year, and the entire calendar year will produce an increase of 3400 million in farmers* income. The magazine goes on to state that the farm implement industry ( can testify to the new farm welfare with an indicated sales record this year of $350 million, 75 per cent more than last year. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics, , last week estimated 1935 cash farm income at 6.8 billions, a jump of S4OO million over last year, and 2.5 billions above the low level of 1932. If, according to the bureau, production i* held to reasonable limits, there is no reason why farm welfare should not continue to improve in the wake of predicted advances in industrial activities and prices. "Business Week" states there to another slant to production limitation which has not been suggested. That to the trend toward intensification, since the adjustment program has become the rule, and since the farmers have been getting some money. This year the major direction of farm buying was in capital "goods, things which the producer can us* to make his plant yield with greater economy. This to just on* more of th* multitudinous problems which AAA face*. The magazine also says that AAA has taken a step that may well prove to be a first foot print in the thus far theoretical land of permanent normality. Long ago Secretary Wallace conceived and advocated a plan for stabilizing crop Income known as the "ever normal granary." U works like this: Take the surplus of good year*, hold tt on th* farm with money lent against tt to the fanner, so that he may have his income; then when lean years come, release the stored up surplus into distribution by giving it back to the farmer aa payment in kind, on adjustment benefit*, and allow him to sell it in market or feed tt to stock.

HOME TEAM LOSES 2ND i B. B. GAME i ■ i Lose to Cromwell for First Time in 17 Years* Friday. After 17 years of trying, a Cromwell basketball team defeated th* Syracuse High school team in a game here, Friday night, 27 to 17. . Oomwell supporters and rooter* had high hopes of winning the game and came to Syracuse in large number* to watch the defeat of Syracuse. They were not disappointed, and were jubilant after the game. Cromwell's team proved to be a scrappier and smarter team than Syracuse, and got the breaks of the game. However, during the first half Syracuse boys played nearly on even terms with the visitors. The score at the end of the half was Cromwell, 11, Syracuse 10. At the end of the first quarter the score had been 6 ail. Hoesinger, the star on the Cromwell team, got away free' several times,, during the first half, but waa only able to connect twice with the basket. In the fourth quarter he made 3 baskets. He was the high scorer of the game with 14 points. Bitner of Syracuse and Leamor of Cromwell were second with 7 points each. Cromwell's man to man defense proved to be more effective than Syracuse’s zone defense. The only time that Syracuse had (Cromwell worried and showed the latent possibilities which exist in the team, was during the last quarter. Cromwell had held the Syracuse team scoreless during the 3rd quarter, in the maentime raising their score till it rtiad 15 to 10. In the last quarter, the local boys seemed to waken and put on a dash, and (Mled up 7 points before this was stopped by Stucky foing out on personals. During the last few seconds of play, Syracuse had only 4 men on the floor, for Beck had gone out of the game on personals, and Holly either had no one to replace him, or did not care to use any of his second team men for a few seconds of play, as only a second's play counts as a whole game. According to the regulations a player to only allowed to play in 20 ganree.

The Boy Scouts of America is one of the three great national organizations that has been chartered by Congress. It* total Mtive membership today is over one million, making it by far the largest boys’ organiza tion in the world.
