This was in 1875.. Dr. Weston patented laminated pole pieces and cores for dynamos, raising their efficiency from about 45 to 85 per cent, and also patented an anode and developed a nickel solution containing boric acid for making a superior, dense, malleable plated nickel.

In IMS, the average American farm was nearly 100 acres, which Is K acres more than in 1940, 50 acree i>ore than in 1910. While total farm acres increased from 956 mUliqos in 1910 to 1.1 billion in 1941, the number of farms declined, in the same period, from (.4 millions to 8.1 millions.

Middle sised farms of IM, m or M0 acres accounted for one-third of all farms in 1910, but today they leas than one-fourth of the total. As further indication of this trend, farm population figures have declined, too, despite a natural increase of births over deaths and desqj^ e the recent upsurge of farm commodity prices, which has brought a good many thousands of city people hurrying to the country, to cash in on the inflated wealth of its land. In January, 1940, the farm population was 34.1 millions. By January of 1945 it had declined, partly because of war's demands on farm manpower, to 15,1 millions. As of January, 1947, the return of rural youth from the armed forces had boosted the figure to 17.5 millions, still considerably under the prewar -iota)*-- CLARENCE'S SHOP Bird houses, lawn furniture, lawn and porch swings, pier and parte benches, picnic tables, window boxes, trellises, etc. Kitchen cabinets and cupboards made to order, hand woven wash baskets, shopping and market baskets. - Full line of leather belts, suspenders, billfolds, etc. CLARENCE SMITH ^ Tel.
