CORN CROP IS MADE Farmer Once Used Most of What He Produced, Now Sells Ninety Per Cent Tom Mix' Wife to Ask Divorce, Paper States Cowboy Star Quoted as Confirming Rumor, but Desiring Reunion; 'House JUways Open' Try... four speeds forward Storrs, Conn. "Agriculture has undergone a revolution in the last 50 years that is comparable in scope and significance to the commercial revolutions of the sixteenth century and with the industrial revolution of 100 years ago," declared Prof. F. P. Weaver, in discussing the role of eco nomics in argiculture at 192S Farm ers Week at Connecticut Agriculture College. "This agricultural revolution has largely resulted from three mair causes, the first of which is the de velopment and use of farm machinery and of steam, gas and electric power for the farm," continued Professor Weaver. "Second, the great increasf and development of transportatior and manufacturing facilities for the Nation as a whole, and third, a revo lution in the social customs of the American people. "Over 90 per cent of the produc tion of farms today is for sale, and this has changed entirely the eco nomic position and the economic in terests of the farmer. When farming was a home industry, overproduction was a blessing. "Today a large crop often brings a smaller gross return than a small crop and the extra labor of handling the large crop is so poorly remuner ated that frequently the large cror year means poverty in many farming sections. "When the farmer consumed 9C per cent of all he produced, there was proctically no marketing, prob lem. The other 1Q per cent was easily and readily disposed of to the town and city folk near by. "Today, when 90 per cent of the products is for sale, production must be co-ordinated with market demand? and many of these products must find a market thousands of miles from where they are produced. "When agriculture was largely a home industry, one more farmer meant one more neighbor; one more individual to help maintain schools, churches and roads: one more to join in barn raisings, quilting parties and thft neighborhood activities. Today one more farmer means one more Los Angeles, Cal.. Aug. 7. Tom Mix, cowboy film star, and his wife i !

' Mr. Mix confirms the news of the projected divorce proceedings, it ir declared. "When she went away I. told her I would agree to anything she wanted to do. Her happiness and that of our baby is mine. But every nigh' I pray that she and Tomasina will come back to me." Mix is quoted ar saying. ' "This house is always open to them. It wouldn't make any dif ference if I was living in a tent. It would be their home if they wanted to come back." ' Compared to the Beverly Hills mansion in which he now lives. Mix was "living in a tent" when he and Victoria Forde were married 10 years ago. That was before the western actor had won his fame. t They lived in a two-room house. , By the terms of a property settle raent, arranged within the last year Mrs. Mix is said to have received approximately 4 50 thousand dollars A year ago she made a European trip.

RESUME OIL DRILLING It was incorrectly stated in a U. S Oil Company advertisement in thif paper last week that W. O. Gilles pie, manager of the U. S. Oil Statlor at Murdock was formerly with the Farmers Paint and Oil Company, j Mr. Gillespie, who is a well known i oil and gas man in this territory , was not with the Farmers company The U S. Oil Company purchased ; the Murdock property from the ; Farmers company and added several j improvements and made . Mr. Gilles pie its Murdock manager. The residents of Nehawka and vi cinity are once more agitated by the possibilities of oil being found in that locality and the drilling ma chinery that has been silent for sev-' eral months is once more to take on activity. The drilling is undertaken bythe Underwriters' Syndicate of Omaha. I C. E. Holt, experienced well drill er, is in charge of operations. The well was spudded in last fall on the; Pollard land about one mile straight: west of Union, Neb. Work was' abandoned when the well was down ! 70 feet because of disagreement' among the men interested. j This summer a group of Omaha j meen took hold of the operations, re organized the company and are pre-, pared to go down as far as 5,000 feet in quest of oil and gas. j Mr. Holt has just returned from Oklahoma where h bought a large, amount of pipe and casting for the j well.. The hole will he started 2Uj inches in diameter so as to permit deep drilling. Five chassis sixes and eights prices ranging from $860 to $2485.

AA TELEPHONE PRO GRESS CONTINUOUS LADIES ASSIST IN WORK The upholstery department in the local Burlington shops is one of the j busiest places in that great institu-; tion and is in operation twenty-four j hours a day in order to complete; special orders for work received and which Superintendent Baird is hav ing turned out with the usual Bur lington speed and efficiency. The work has caused the company to place a number of ladles in the department who are used in the work with the electric sewing ma chines, they working in several shifts and which take in the entire twenty-four hours, one force of ladies in addition to the regular working force handling the special work dur ing the regular working hours while another force of the ladies work until 11:30 p. m and tlien a force of the men are back on the job from mid night on to morning. The special or ders will probably cover two months or possibly longer before they are completed. The average time necessary for handling long distance telephone calln was reduced 25 per cent in 19 27 from two minutes to one and one-half minutes. About 9 per cent of all calls are now handled without the subscriber leaving the telephone as compared with SO per cent during 1926. An improvement in local servicf has been achieved by a reduction of five per cent in the number of callr that failed of completion on the first attempt. The aver age time taken for in stalling telephone service was further reduced' during 1927 by about half day. While the United States has the best telephone service in the world n efficiency of service and facilities the industry has never been content to rest on its laurels, but has a re cord of unwavering progress. fc.acr years markes a new high point of telephone communication.
