Taking broad a u r vey of the entire country,'indications ate fuvoraWe for a great increase in construction work of all kinds, and pre-eminently so in ' the South. Power companies must -of ; necessity greatly enlarge their opera: tions, as many of them are doing. So I numerous are the uses for electricity, >o widespread is its demand for farm j and factory and power put poses gen[ orally, as well us for illumination, that it looks as though the utmost j stretch of activity by all public util! its power companies will hardly keen J pace with requirements. Hundred* of . milium* must annually be ex (tended to extend operations of elect: ic light ami power companies on the farm and in the cities :ind for manufacturing purposes.

Knotmous projects are under way for distribution of gas for fuel purposes. The use of electric power, in| stead of lessening the demand for i gas, will p'obably bring about in! creased gas consumption, because for j mai y industries gas is one of the , be -1 fuels that can l>e had; and. in[ deed, gas is available for production | of electricity itself. We are moving rapidly to the point I where the railroads of the country must be electrified. Why should they [continue to use a large part of their motive power to haul the coal which ; drives the engines when power can be ! created by .- team as well as by hydroplants and transmitted in the form of [electricity for the operation of rail r<?ads? There is probably no greater 'wastefulness in any modern business t h.i n that of binning coal'in locomot ve- where but a small per cent, of tile fuel value of the coal is obtained, a larger percentage going into the atmosphere through lack of propo*' combustion. River and harbor work will be j pressed by the Government as noYer before, and we are now entering on an era of construction activities in | intercoastal canals and in the deep1 ening of harbors and the .betterment : of protect inn against Moods, greater than tins country has heretofore ; known. 1 Applications for development of j electric power throughout the South ! give some indication of the vast amount of work that is ahead of us. With th(? growth in industry the-e will come an increased demand f<?- diverj si tied farm products to feed indusi trial workers, and with this g-owth i of industry will come an enlarged volume of freight which mu-t bo handled by increased railroad facilities as well as by improved water ' routes and motor trucks. We are onlv j upon the threshold of highway building. All that has been done is but suggestive of what must be done. : Hundreds of thousands of dirt roads must* be improved. Kxisting improved highways must to a very large extent !h> widened in order to provide more adequate facilities for motor j truck* ind automobiles. Many curves must be cut out; many obstruct: >n< t'? travel must be removed; and so we may look forward to a devolopmc t <>t highway construction far great* r 'nan has ever been *evn before. This not simply a conjecture, it is an otu?mic necessity that forces itself ' rward. 1 ravel and t rat lie by air are oomg with a ru>h wh.ch would haw nied pa'. a a > impossible a few or* ago Now ntp o.-ts, costing .??;.?

Wherever one turns in a thoughtil study of the whole situation he v. ill !>c impressed with the fact that car country as a whole has merely gun its material development as compared with what the future will -how. Here and there we have i scratched the surface in mineral development. Here and there wo have built what today we regard as vast industrial enterprises. Here and there we have erected enormous hotels and office building*. But all of these thing* are only thf furtruntlMH of still greater progreti* during the coming years. There is inspiration in this situation for every energetic man in the country, inspiration for every business concern to study ways and means with which to meet these changing conditions, which open up a larger volume of trade than we have ever known. Wall Street's crash will prove an unmixed blessing. It will drive money away from that concentration of evil in New York, and wi|| teach the business men and the backers of the country, the folly of lending money on call in New York instead of keeping it at home for domestic development. Moreover, out of that situation will grow a demand for national legislation, or for action by the banking interests ot the country themst'lves which will make such i condition impossible in the future. Mid;) lessons were learned by finani lal people and by investors and stocg speculators in tiid wild "Holland tulip bulb" speculative activity, rivalling that of Holland's wild craze of many yi i-s ago, or that of the "Mississippi Hubble" of later years. We have had v -e Jin- tuatir.g periods when the ;,'-ver of .speculation ran wild, sum times in stocks and sometimes in lands, hut every lesson learned will kelp to put business on a sounder basis and to teach the country how to conduct its business without the lever of speculation. Prosperity to He More General. Although there is depression in a good many lines of business due to changing conditions, to the mergers and the chain stores and kindred activities, nevertheless we are marching forward to a better and more general prosperity for the country at large. Development of activities of the Farm Hoard may here and there cut the middleman, but whatever tends to improve prosperity of the farmers will in the broader light improve prosperity of the whole country. The men who are complaining because the activities of the Farm Hoard may perchance lessen their opportunities to control the grain trade have not heretofore realized that the establishment of chain stores was wiping out the individual man, and so they took but little account of what mergers meant in this particular. Hut now the business men o? the country as a whole will give closer study to every broad movement under way. Some :1."> or 4U years ago Senator A. I', Gorman of Maryland, in a speech in the United States Senate, said that the real question before this country was not one of production but of distribution. That is a ! a> t which we are now learning, and the Farm Board promises to be an instrument of great value in teaching us how to distribute farm products to the benefit of the farmer, and eventually to the benifit of the consumer. This is the great movement ever made by the Federal Government for betterment of the farmers. Added to this is the tariff situation which will 'safeguard farming interests and stimulate them as industrial protection has safeguarded and developed manufacturing interests. The Forward Ixxik Though we have been passing through a period of congressional investigation of one kind and another of fightings within and fightings without Congress, on tariff and other propositions, we will move forward to a safe, sane and sounder business; ami with enlarged experience in business operations we believe that President Hoover will he instrumental in helping to guide this country to a higher plane of prosperity, to the U---citing of poverty, and the creati"' f more widespread employment.

The cotton' acreage of 1929 was 4b.000.000 acres. Carl Williams. Federal farm board member, told the acreage reduction committee of the American Cotton Cooperative association at Jackson. Miss., Wednesday at the end of a three days' meeting, that this year's acreage should be reduced to at least 40,000,000 acres. She's Our Biggest Woman Farmer The slump after the World War which put many farmer# out of business and crippled thousands of others, made Charlotte F Worley, of Boxhutte county in northwestern Nebraska the largest wontan farmer in the United States. That was not her goal in the first place, in fact she had no other objective than to save the farm on which her mother hied eked out a bare existence for herself and three children. The mother had homo steaded 1,500 acres of grazing land in 1000 and added 500 acres more during the war when prices went up. But with the end of the war price!} dropped and when the mortgage came due it could not'' be met. Foreclosure seemed certain, It was then that the daughter gave up her teaching career in which she had been engaged 15 years, and went back to the old home farm. She was ! a graduate of the state university and held three degrees, one of them from the law school. General Pershing had been one of her instructors and i Governor Weaver was a classmate. The first thing she did after get- j ting home was to talk things over v. ith the bankers who held the dreadel mortgage. She got an extension of time. Not only that but she raisf: ed some additional capital, bought I ! .000 acres more land and announce J | a. ehauge from cattle and hay t ) | -mall grains and potatoes on more than a third of her acreage. Such a change was revolutionary in thai "cow country" at that time. The i neighbors sniffed and her bankers ' "re skeptical. How well her idea "panned out" is i demonstrated by her last year's ree-| ord. She owns and farms 3,100 acres now, only .*>00 acres of which is in pasture. Her income for 1929 was close to $125,000. Her main money crop is seed. potatoes for which thai part of Nebraska has become famous. Thousands of bushels of potatoes grown on the Worley farm are shipped to Southern states for seed at prices far above the market for food potatoes. Other crops are wheat, flax, oats, barley, corn, and alfalfa. When all accounts for 1929 were balanced Miss Worley found her year's profits would wipe out the final mortgage on her 3,100 acres. To celebrate this event properly she is planning to buy another 1,200 acres, giving her a 4,300-acre farm. lluring the busy season 45 men are employed on the farm and they are under direct orders of Miss Worley who is on the job from early morning until late at night. Often she "makes a hand" herself, milking, feeding hog-, sorting potatoes or whatever job calls for more help. Charlotte Worley lays her success to two main factors?her own direct supervision over everything and a close watch of the markets every day, a good recipe for success on any farm. Plenty of Evidence Now that the supreme court has tuled that a petit jury has the right to taste of the evidence in loquor trials, maybe good men won't mind serving on the jury. Usually a/bour half of the best jurors at every term of court try to get exempted. Well.H jury duty is sort of tiresome, bull when the sheriff sets a jug of liquorH on the table that he confiscated fromH some bootlegger, the jurors mayH look forward with some degree oil comfort to the thourfi they will spendH in deliberation in the jury room.H j ?Bamberg Herald, !
