The Tugwells, 12 Per Cent Gain in Farm In come for 1935 Cera Continues to Be the Country's Host Valnabs Crop, Estimated et $1271,489,000 Washington. The agriculture de partment estimated the gross income of United States farmers increased 12 percent to 55.110,000,000 in 1935, altho its "bird's eje" view of crops showed "about average yield on a rather light acreage." Serretary Wal lace said he was greatly pleased with the, higher income figures, the first of the season to estimate values. Tha department estimated income from 79 crops at $3,400,000,000; in come from livestock and livestock products at ?4, 320, 000. 000, and bene fit payments at 4S0 millions. Income from the 79 crops in 1934 was $3, 043,000,000; from livestock and live stock products. $3, 629, 000,000, and from benefit payments 594 millions, a total of 7, 266. 000, 000. Wallace attributed the estimated decrease cf about 114 millions in AAA benefit payments for 1935 to a caving in payments made in the corn hog program. Production end Income Rise. Trices received for this season's crors the department said, were about 13 percent below those of last year when crops were reduced sharp ly.

PITTS' APPEAL SET One cf the first concerted moves on the part of a group cf states to promote their mutual welfare is underway in Jv2w England. At a recent conference in Coston, attended by governors of six states, plans were outlined for "selling" the scenic beauties and historic shrines of the section to American tourists and travelers from. abroad. f Improved highways, co-ordinated air service, development of parks and nature reserves, and publicizing of New England's charms are some of the objectives set up' by the New England council sponsoring the move ment by which New Englanders hope to win new revenue.

Younger Pitts, chief air officer of the Seventh corps area and one of army's foremost aviators, on a municipal court conviction on rockless driving charges, will be heard in district court next month. Pitts was sen tenced to thirty days in jail on the reckless driving charge and fined $25 for operating a car without a driver's license. A drunken driving charge growing out of a collision with a motor car driven by George Huffman, Council Bluffs, was dismissed. Mrs. Huffman was injured. gambling houses already had figured the odds against chumps and put them in use. About that time the spots on dice were changed to make opposite sides add to seven.
