There will be no marked Increase in number of milk cows on farms over the next two years, but mjlk production Is expected to Increase lh response to better feed conditions, according to the annual outlook report of the bureau of agricultural economics. Stocks of dairy products are reported larger than 'a year ago, and with prospects for Increased production during the late winter, the total supplies of dairy products will be larger than » year ago. Farm prices of hutterfat are reported higher now in relation M feed grains than a year ago, and further Increase Is In prospect. Farm prices of butterfat are low In relation to meat animals and are likely to contlnne relatively low durlog 1936. says the report. This price relationship will tend to ..check dairy production In areas where shifts are most easily made from dairy to meat production. Receipts of tail lk and cream Indicate the decline In city consumption of fresh milk and cream Is probably past, and with further Improvement In business and in consumer Incomes, city consumption probably will Increase. With further business Improvement, the report adds, butter prices will probably rise in relation to other com- "7~Hlpditie8.

On January i;~1928, there were 22.129.000 milk cows, and a year later there were 26,18.r>,000. On January 1, 19.T5, there were 2f>, 100,000, and In January, 1930, there will be about 24,500,- 000. The bureau's dairy correspondents all ov.fr the country report farmers are planning to Increase their dairy herds, but actual Increases during the next year or two seem likely to be small. The growth of population during the next year or two, it is expected, will be proportionately greater than the Increase in number of milk cows. This will tend to make coryUtlona slightly more favorable for dairying. . A GOOD SHOW Be--1 was up at the too yesterday watching the monkeys, it was awfully amusing.

See Soy Bean Progress in Various Industries Moving about these days. It Is Impossible to avoid the soy. bean, even If one wanted to. In Dearborn we saw car parts being stamped out of soy bean meal; also we were served soy bean muffins. Last summer we attended a picnic where bilked soy beans were served. Good, too, notes h writer In the Country Home. The vegetable soys we grew In' our own garden were a decided success from the standpoint of edibility and resistance to the Mexican bean beetle. They came along later than ordinary string beans, and have to be shelled like limas, but the family liked the flavor. Undoubtedly they can be Improved by breeding to make them earlier and heavier-yielding. Nearly 5,500.000 acres of soy beans Were planted in the United States In 1935 for harvesting, almost a third more than In 1934. The consumption of soy bean oil for paints, soaps, vege table shortening, linoleum and oilcloth, glue and printing Inks, to name hut a few uses, is increasing, in all, shore than 300 widely assorted uses for the soy bean have been found. Supply may temporarily run ahead of demand, but. the future of this lucrative legume, the acreage of which in 30 years has increased a hundredfold, -seems boundless. London.--The moon of late has^Jseen blamed for bad weather and rough spas, for poor radio reception and for bringing bad luck to those who looked at the new moon thrtfbgh glass, forgot to bow three times to It, or omitr ted to turd their .money. If they had any. • Now. an old and more, serious "allegation has been revived against the moon. A man told a Ixjndon coroner that bis sister .behaved quite normally except at full mooii when she got into a violent ieiuper and would pick up a chair and smash all the crockery Sho would «it at the window and the sight, of couples strolling about in the moorilight or standing In doorways made her lose her temper. This belief in the mysterious effects of the moon on certain temperaments goes back for centuries. Modern medical men, however, are often Inclined to discredit the Idea. But those who regard the "moonstruck" theory as a superstition have yet to explain why well-authenticated cas£s of moon-affected people recur. Not long ago a father told a Judge his son became Irritable at the full moon. But a doctor In court replied the theory was "pure romance" for which there was no foundation. A Juryman at an inquest on a Chester woman who was thrown from her horse, asked if the full moon had a tendency t6 make women giddy and a riding instructress said she ha-! heard that it had. The mother of a little boy accused of stealing, blamed the moon because she said when the moon changed the boy "went wrong." No less an authority than Prof. A. O. Ranklne has explained that there is a variation of weight with tides and the new 70,000-ton liner Queen Mary will actually get 20 pounds lighter when the moon is overhead than when the moon is on the horizon. So, if the moon can make lighter a great ship like this, surely it is understandable if one poor little human being occasionally becomes a trifle "light* headed" under its Influence, It Is ais gued. •• Members of the Epworth League planned to elect a delegate to attend the meeting of young people at the Chicago Temple, Chicago, Wednesday night, to hear Dr. T. Kagawa, Japanese leader, speak on a subject of interest. In fourteen, different meetings, crowded into three days, this week in Chicago 10,000 persons are expected to hear Dr. Toyohfyo Kagawa, Japanese Christian leader, evangelist, poetr, Vriter on philosophical and theological subjects and adviser on social welfare matters to the imperial government of Japan. The famed Japanese arrived in Chicago Monday morning for his series of addresses and lectures. A special address by Dr. Kawaga was heard by young people of religious organizations in the Chicago temple on Wednesday evening, sponsored by the department of Christian education. No more notable visitor has come to Chicago^ince the beginning of the depression, and no man -who brought a message of deeper or more vital significance has been heard.; No more thrilling story has been told of any man since the days of Saul of Tarsus. Converted to the Christian faith in youth, the courage of that faith has Carried him through perils and prisons And poverty; sustained him in tjve physical weakness of disease; driven him to -extraordinary . sacrifices and unwearying service in behalf of his fellowmen. * In Japan he has lived voluntarily among the submerged in order that by sharing tlieir tragedies he might, with the stronger persuasion, win them to | Christ; he has-led strikes, organized urban workers and farmers for their economic and social welfare; served the government with its high approval in times of earthquake calamity and suffered in a cell for his convictions. About seven years ago he organized the "Kingdom of God movement. It has three objectives--the winning of a million souls to the Christian faith; the training of 5°000 lay workers to aid the pastors of the churches, and the forming of economic co-operatives to relieve the physical necessities cf the poor, and to teach by practice a better way of living than the world has yet found in its methods of production and distrinution. The evangelizing and teaching crusade of the movement has made great headway. What Kagawa calls his "economic theology" has resulted in the spread of the co-operative program until forty per cent of the population has become enrolled in it. In Tdyko there is a medical co-operative which, in three years, has grown from a membership of 3,000 to * 60,000 farailtl jure «¥*nty-fo*r nrftdical coin Japan, enjoying governmental recognition. Kagawa has a message to American Christians. He brings back to us from the Orient the gospel, reinterpreted, revitalized. He is aji envoy of the Kingdom. He is making Jtingdom history. Dr. Kagawa has devoted his life to religous and social leadership of Japan and is known for his interest in the religious end economic welfare of laboring classes. The great emphasis "of his message in many addresses throughout this country during the last month has been the need of the co-operatiye movement as an applica*. tion of Oiristianity to economic life. He holds Consumer co-operatiyes to be the base of a Christian economic order, and has been active in promoting the co-operative movement in Japan.
