We found we had some- thing like 3!, chances of getting hit by an automobile for every one chance that the motor would stop when it wasn't supposed to. # we're not afrald. we wouldn't go.” Post, who used to do what he called “roughnecking” in Oklahoma ofl flelds, and Gatty, an Australian marine navi- gator, hope to start for Harbor Grace «d_Berlin on Friday, or just as soon as Dr. James H.

MOSCOW, May 27—Although the Spring sowing of some crops is still somewhat behind schedule, official fig- ures made public here today claimed that the cotton-planting schedule for| than 4 per cent, and planting is still in progress in some districts. The Soviet government’s commissariat of agriculture stated that 2,351,000 hec- tares (about 5,807,000 acres) had been planted up to May 20, which is 50 per cent more than the 1930 acreage. The increase in the number of tractor stations throughout agricultural Russia is pointed out as insuring larger crops for 1931 than for the previous year. There are 1,227 stations, with 46,700 tractors cultivating over 18,000,000 he tares (about 44,460,000 acres) on 46,514 collective farms. Most of these tractors were imported from Americi Becf exports from Australia in & re- or nearly double that of the same pe- od of last year. Does the tooth- paste you use bear this acceptance!
