Great Stimulus in Agriculture, First in 5 Years Increasing Number Feel It Financially Safe to Stay * on Farm This Spring, Report Declares. Washington, April 2.—This Is the "first spring in five years with any evidence of general stimulus In ag riculture" the bureau of agricultural economics derlared today in a re port on the situation. There are no hlg agricultural sur pluses except in cattle, the report said and "judging from the lessened i population movement, an increased iHOnber of farmers apparently feel it ' ttanetully safe to 'tav on the farms iljls spring." "Upturning strength in livestock A......T777.....7... prices Is the most lmpressne of *11 the general signs,” It declared. "Ex cept. for the cattle Industry, where In the numbers on feed have for two years tended to obscure the liquida tion In actual breeding stock, agricul ture has obviously emptied its sur pluses of the major crops and ani mals. Over the country as a whole, reports indicate that farmers hav« not gone into action as hopefully In five years.” Reviewing its recent intentlnnsto plant, report, which indicated that farmers contemplated increased acre ages of important crops, the bureau repeated its warning that ‘it seems doubtful If the general expansion of production contemplated by farmers would be to their best Intereets.'' ‘The indicated purchasing power of the important crops tended higher in February” the report stated. “The key livestork products practically stood still except In case of eggs and butter, which lost ground. The rapid advance of grain prices through the winter left certain livestock products In relatively weak position as to pur chasing power.

Lead, S. D , April ’.—nick Burg freddle, need recluse and near musical Scnliis, who hanged himself last week in the attic of his little two-room home in South Load, was the namer of Ice Box canyon, according to in formation furnished by his friends. This will lie interesting news to the hundreds of vacationists who annu ally spend parts of the summer with in the canyon's cool confines. Burgfreddle was horn near Bre men, Germany, and came to America ,1fi years ago. After a period in New Yolk City, he drifted west, locating at I.ead, It was while cutting wood in Ihe region near Ice Box canyon that he conceived the unusual name for this scenic Black Hills beauty spot. In late years he has lived with in (he city limits, working at odd jobs and regaling himself and a few close friends with his musical accomplish ments. It was Ills interest In the boys of his neighborhood, ami his frequent, kindly instruction In the art of ma nipulating the banjo that led to the discovery of his lifeless body. Hay Cadwallader and Norman Alben, who were accustomed to drop In for the privilege of playing with him, noticed that lie had not been about for some lime. They investigated and in the attic found Ids form, suspended by a rope from the rafters. In the man's clothes were found $87. This and the fact that he leaves a considerable estate lead to the belief that self-destruction was due to a weakened mind. Burgfreddle was unmarried, but Is said to have a niece living at Brook lyn, N. Y. f-x Burgess Bedtime Stories Ry THORNTON W. Ill R6BS8.

Yes, sir, there was great news from the Old Pasture. Sammy Jay had discovered Farmer Brown's Boy and Farmer Brown driving ur> there with what, at first Sammy thought was a wagon load of pine branches. But when Farmer Brown and Fanner Brown's Boy began to take them out of the wagon Sammy discovered that what h* had taken to he pine branches were little pine trees. Yes, sir, they were very small pine trees. Of '-nurse, Sam was fairly aching all over to spread the news at once, but lls curiosity was even greater than this desire. He was curious to find out what was going to he done with those little pine trees So he kept out of sight, but wfiere he could watch. He saw Farmer Brown's Boy cnrefully put one of thORe little pine trees in one of the holes that had so puzzled «I1 Ihe little people of the Oreen Forest and theOreen Meadows. H» saw him carefully spread out the roots, and then pa-k In the eRrth all around them. When he was through there stood a tiny pine tree. Thpn Sammy Jay understood why the brush and the brambles had been cut ami burned anil why all those little holes had been dug. He was too excited to wait to see more. Away he flew as fust as his wings could taUe him. Peter Rabbit was the first one be sow. Peter was sitting on he edge of tile dear Old Briar Patch. “Farmer Brown's Roy hasn't spoiled the Old Pasture!" cried Sam my excitedly. “It's going to he a Sammy .lay Asked Rlackie the Crow better place than It ever was before. There's going to he another Green Forest there." "How do you know?" demanded Peter. "Because Farmer Brown'* Boy and Farmer Brown are up there this very minute, putting little pine rees in ail those holes. Those trees will grow and grow, and some day they’ll be ldg trees, ami there 11 be a wonderful Green Forest there. Isn’t that great news.'" cried Sammy’. Peter wabbled his wabbly little nose thoughtfully. He scratched a long ear with r long hind foot. He scratched the other long ear wilji the other long hind foot. But he said nothing. "Well," demand Sammy Jay, "don't you think that Is great news?" "I like the hushes and the bram bles best, myself," grunted Peter. Sammy Jay tossed his head. "Every body to his own taste,” said he. "Give me the Green Forest every time. Any way, there are plenty of bramble tan gles still left In parts of the Old Pas ture. I know a lot of other people who will be glad, even if you are not." Sammy flew straight, over to the Green Forest, and there he found Mrs. Grouse. As soon as she heard the news Mrs. Grouse did a funny little dance. "Splendid!" she cried. "I just knew that Farmer Brown's Boy wouldn't do anything so dreadful as to spoil the Old Pasture. When those trees get a little bigger It will he a wonderful place.” Buster Bear and tLghtfoot the Deer were .equally delighted. Chatterer the Bed Squirrel had to go Up there right away to find out If It were true. My, how fast the news spread! It was the Vest, news for a long time, for all the J/ le people knew that more Green Forest meant greater protection for them. And so life would he better and easier for them. Yes, sir, It ccr tainly was great news. (Convrirhv i> Th#» naxt atory: "Farmer Frown * Hoy Explain* to Rnwaor th* Hound." Builrlrrs Busy at Brfltrice. Foatrlr*.
