The annual outlook report of the Bureau of Agriculture^ Economics made public this week te'of particular interest to rural communities. The Federal experts predict "nonsignificant changes in prices of goods for farm-family maintenance are anticipated during the next six months." There may be a political tinge to the declaration "the outlook for 1936 income is for a continuance of the upward trend," but it will bring cheers farm villages and other trading areas. The Bureau finds that "automobile upkeep iand purchase may take a relatively larger share of the income" which shows that the foodstuffs are plentiful. These forecasters say, "The 1936 outlook for farm-family living is toward a somewhat higher living level than in 1935, with less of the increased available cash devoted to food and more' to other goods." But, of course, this is all wishful guessing. crane, the watchword with which the mlgatory geese keep their squadrons together, the lowing of cows, the hum of the hive, are to nature what the chatter of the drawing room Is to man. taining to the 100 years of history of this locality.

For instance, we recently heard a group of engineers discussing night driving, and one thing they kept talking about was "over-driving our headlights." Now that term seems to be a common one with them, but it's new to most of ua. What they mean is that the distance we can see clearly by headlights is, of course, limited, and that we are apt to let our car speeds get beyond the point where we could easily stop within that limited distance. It's true that we naturally tend to go a little slower at night. But if we aren't careful we gradually get going faster than we realize, and that may get us into trouble. You see, momentum, the same force that tries to keep us from making turns safely; that cuts all kinds of capers on slippery roads . . . never sleeps! He works on the same old principles night and day. Darkness doesn't hinder him, but it hinders us. Most modern headlights are pretty wonderful lights, but after all they don't give us the distance or clarity of vision that daylight does. So, on considerably shorter notice than in the daytime a vehicle or pedestrian can come out of the darkness. Almost before we know it we may have to slow down or stop for someone or something on the road ... perhaps one of those big lumbering trucks that you barely see till you're right up on them; or a car whose tail-light has gone out... an unexpected curve, or what not. And that's where we meet up with momentum again. You see, stopping isn't the one simple action we always thought it was. The truth Is, we are told, that there are really three things we have to do to stop. First we have to think of stopping. Next we have to move one foot over on to the brake pedal. And then we have to push down on the brake pedal. Now we might not believe it, but they tell us those first two steps take time. Less than a second, perhaps, but even in that instant momentum is carrying us on. In fact, at only 20 miles an hour the average driver 22 feet before he Can even start to use the brakes. OISTANCI R I Q U I f t I D FOR STOPPING HIT TftAVtllP WHIll THINKIM* 2 60 73 to HIT TRAVIIID WHIll VtlNft III FT. 165 FT* MW/M 111 to (Hmd after ho does get the brakes to working, it takes him another in feet AO stop completely, even with the best brakes in the world and with food Itiree, under favorable road conditions. At least so we are told by the State Board of Public Workf'bf one of the states which has made a very Intensive study of drivers and driving conditions, and which has prepared the data for the above chart. The Important thing to realize is that distance needed to stop increases a great deal as we Increase our speed. We Just have to remember that when we're moving along In a car, we think by the foot, act by the f foot and stop by the foot, and if we aren't careful, ifs ' easy to get going faster than Is really safe. Now, just as engineers have told us how to operate In safety with our own lights, many experienced drivers have pointed out how to avoid trouble from other people's lights. They say that ill we have to do, when passing other cars at night, Is to stop looking at their lights and watch the right-hand side of the road. The truth of the matter is that night driving can be Just as pleasant and fust as safe as day drivlag.
