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
! Mrs. Victoria Forde Mix, have come
to a parting of the martial tna
and Mrs. Mix, who left here a month
ago for Europe, is planning to obtain
a Paris divorce, the Examiner vsayr
today. '
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. She returned declaring rumorr
of a divorce were only "idle gossip."

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.

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.
