B—6 » REA BIRTH RATE LIFTS FARM POPULATION Death Rate Also Factor. Residents Still Move to Cities. The farm population, now the largest in the Nation's history, is esti- mated by the Bureau of Agricultural | Economics as of January 1, 1935, at | 32,779.000 persons. This is 270,000 more than on the same date in 1934 | The increase is attributed to a surplus | of births over deaths rather than to | any marked farmward movement from cities. In fact., the movement away from farms last year was larger than the movement to farms. It is estimated |. that 783.000 persons moved out of cities, towns and villages to farms last vear, but that 994,000 persons | moved from farms to cities, towns and villages. 211,000 Net Migration. The net migration from farms was 211,000 persons, but this loss was | more than made up by a surplus of | 481,000 farm births over deaths. The net gain of 270,000 persons in the farm population is reported to have | been only 3.000 persons more than the | gain in 1933. | Although t'.e net change in farm population ‘s a whole was about the same in 1934 as in 1933, more pro- | nounced differences are indicated by | the estimates for the various major | geographic divisions. Drought is Factor. | ‘Whereas in 1933 each of these areas | showed small net gains ranging from | 1.4 per cent in the East South Cen- | tral States to two-tenths of 1 per | cent in the Mountain and Pacific | States, in 1934 the Pacific States gained 1.7 per cent, the Mountain States lost 1.2 per cent and the West North Central States lost 1.1 per cent. The drought, it is stated, was re- sponsible for some of these contrasts. The bureau says the reduction in maigration from cities, towns and vil- lages in Northern and Northeastern industrial States “was probably the | combined result of a farm housing shortage, somewhat better employ- ment opportunities tural industries and the larger cash | relief payments generally available to | urban residents as contrasted to rural dwellers.” Estimates do not includé so-called subsistence farms to any extent, since Tocal correspondents furnishing in- formation tend to overlook most of these non-commercial enterprises. | HOME APPLIANCES FINANCING LAUDED Soundness of Investment Dis-: cussed by President Blood | of Norge Corp.

The elimination of dust and im- obviously a very important function of an air-conditioning system. An elab- orate plant is not always necessary to obtain air cleanliness, although the | majority of the filtering equipment in- stalled at the present time is function- ne as a part of a complete system. There are filters available, however, costing anywhere from $15 or $20 to hundreds of dollars which can be in- stalled, with or without a fan for air circulation, that will very effectively a single room to & large house. Hay fever sufferers will we'~ome the | filtering equipment which has been | placed on the market, as it will give them almost sure relief from the dis- comfort causer by that afiiction.

To make these devices even more valuable they are alsa equipped with a silencer that will cut off all outside | noises as well as the sound from the |fan in the unit. The office or bed | room equipped with a machine of this | sort will then be perfectly quiet and comfortable. Furnaces May Be Converted. Hot-air furnaces which have been installed for some time can be con- | verted into practically modern air- | conditioned systems complete with blowers and filters. The jacket on the old furnace is cut so that the fil- ter-blower unit will direct its air stream over the heating surface. A return line for the air exhausted from i the room is connected to the intake of the filter, and the cleansed air is pulled through bv the blower. It is | then ferced up into the house through | the sunnly du-ts The filters used in these conversion units, as well as the more modern air cond per wool, spun glass, lot cotton | | under a window and plugging into the | by squirting a hose through it. The | ouner ! others are easily and cheaply replace- able and are usually thrown away after they become too dirty. All of these devices will more than pay for themselves in decreased paint- ing and wall papering costs. Furniture, rugs and draperies will stay clean longer, and the average housewife will | wonder how she ever got along with- | out one in the past. Modernize Before Decorating. Modernizing before decorating is advisable because the antiquity of out- moded fixtures is accentuated by mod- ern decorative treatment of house- hold interiors.
