Farm Prices Expected
To Stay High For ’37
UNNECESSARY
RISKS
TO HEALTH AND BEAUTY
While smallpox is no longer the menace
it was before the discovery of vaccine,
it is still sufficiently in evidence to
compel the sensible person to insure im-
munization. No parent should refuse to
protect his child against the possibility
of contracting this dangerous, loath-
some and beauty-marring disease.
Before the English physician, Edwin Jenner, discov-
ered the vaccine that protects against smallpox, the
disease was so prevalent that it hung over every indi-
vidual as inevitable as taxes. Gradually, since vacci-
nation has become so universal, smallpox is being
stamped out. However, it is still with us, and bobs
up in unexpected places. In this day of crowds and
places of contact, every man, woman and child should
be protected.
Vaccination today is simple, practically painless and is protection against
contracting smallpox for a number of years, varying with the individual.
(The danger of ill-effects from vaccination has become extremely rare.
The person vaccinated by a reputable physician/ ordinarily has only to
take the same care of the wound agajnat infection that he would any
other, abrasion of the skin.

College Station.—The outlook is
for further improvement in the
economic position of agi’iculture in
1937.
This is the opinion of the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics which an-
nually aids farmers with forecasts
as to the trend of various agricul-
tural commodities.
In general, farmers may expect
1937 to be similar in many respects
to 1935.
Farm prices are expected to stay
at high levels in 1937, although
some decline is probable in the last
half of the year. Taxes may move
up slightly, and costs of labor,
building materials, machinery, and
fertilizer will probably be a little
higher.
Some increase in cotton acreage
is expected. Wheat production will
be up, both in the United States
and the rest of the world, and de-
clining prices are in prospect.
Increase demand from consumers
is expected to aid fruit growers.
I The stronger demand for vege-
tables will be largely nullified by
increased plantings.
Unusually large stocks of rice are
on hand and the price outlook is
unfavorable.
Hog prices will be high through
1937, and production will be short
for several years. Cattle prices will
be higher in 1937 than in 1936 and
the outlook for several years is
good.
Butter prices will rise to the
highest levels in seven or eight
years.

fL Ford Gets Patent
On New Auto Design
With A Rear Engine
Washington.—Patent office offi-
cials reported today a patent for a
new automobile design, embodying
an engine mounted in the rear, has
been granted to Henry Ford.
The engine would be mounted
crosswise to the chassis, eliminating
the lengthy drive shaft of the con-
ventional type of car.
The clutch, transmission and dif-
ferential are built as a unit, and
mounted on rubber.
Ford’s application for the patent
was filed in 1935. Issuance of rights
on the new design was delayed,
however, while the. patent office
made a comprehensive search to de-
termine whether any earlier devel-
opments had been duplicated.
Ford did not say in his applica-
tion what use might be made of
the new design. He assigned the
patent rights to the Ford Motor
Company of Dearborn, Mich.
No body design was submitted by
the manufacturer, only plans for
the chassis being filed.
