License Fee Reduction
“As I promised during the cam-

of the motor car operator's license
fee from $2.00 to $1.00, and a re-
duction of $5 00 in all passenger
car registration fees, both to be
effective January 1, 1932. These
reduetions will save the owners and
operators of motor vehicles about
$10,000,000.00 a year. After they
have been made there will remain
sufficient revenues to finance on an
economical basis the present and

of the road is to be started by Gover-
nor Pinchot through the State High-
way Patrol.
Two such campaigns were ordered
during the Fisher administration but
neither was prosecuted very vigorous-
ly.
The decision to pull the busses down
to the legal speed limit, it is said, was
reached by the Governor in driving
from Philadelphia to Milford one week
end during the recent campaign. A
bus was roaring along ahead of the
Governor’s car. To test its speed, the
Governor had his chaffeur drive at a
55 miles an hour, then 60, and still was
unable to overtake the bus.
Under provisions of the motor code
the maximum speed for any bus
would be 35 miles an hour. It would
be necessary for companies to revise
schedules if they are held to a speed
like that.

In view of the decreasing market |
demand for oats, resulting from the
continued reduction in numbers of
workstpck and a more general use of
barley as feed, it cannot be expected
that returns from oats for market in
1931, when compared with competing
crops, will be more favorable than in
1930.
Conditions for winter wheat to date
have been generally favorable except
that deficiencies of subsoil moisture in
large sections affected by the drought
may make for reduced yields per acre
sown. Unless adverse conditions de-
velop between now and harvest time,
another large crop of winter wheat
will be produced in 1931.
Corn.
With prospects for only a slightly
greater demand for corn and much
larger supplies in prospect for next
season it is probable that prices in the
season beginning November 1, 1931,
will average somewhat lower than in
the present season. Because of this
year’s short supply, some improve-
ment in cash corn prices seems proba-
ble before the 1931 crop is available.
The hog industry during the mark-
eting year which begins October 1,
1931, is expected to be in a more fa-
vorable position than in the current
year, since indications point to slightly
smaller supplies, lower feed costs and
some improvement in both foreign and
domestic demand during that period.
Cattle.
Cattle prices during the first half of
1931 are expected to average consider-
ably below those of the first half of
1930, but prices of most classes and
the second half will
probably average about the same as
those of a year earlier.
Although an increase in demand is
expected during the next year or two,
problem of reducing breeding stock
numbers and disposing of a larger
proportion of their annual lamb pro-
duction through slaughter channels,
in order to improve materially the
economic position of the industry.
The long time horse and mule out-
look at the beginning of 1931, is but
little different from that the beginn-
ing of 1930.
Demand for horses and mules will
not make much improvement during
1931 and prices will continue at pres-
ent reduced levels. It is probable
that an improvement in the agricul-
tural situation in 1932 will be reflected
in improved demand and strengthen-
ing prices especially for mules.
Dairy Products.
With. more cows on farms and the
number still increasing, and with milk
per cow running above last year, an
increased production of dairy pro-
ducts during 1931 must be expected.
A substantial reduction in the number
of heifer calves on farms January 1,
1931, below the number a year earlier
seems to indicate the beginning of a
slowing up in the recent increase in
dairy stock.
So long as income from all other

REPORTS ON WORK
> DONE BY NURSES
The directors of nurses of the
Pennsylvania State Health Depart-
ment, Miss Alice M. O’Halloan, 'to-
day reported to the Secretary of
Health, Dr. Theodore B: Appel that
in the past year 145 nurses con-
nected with the Department visited
a total of 12,277 schools in the
fourth class districts. This work
was conducted primarily for the
| purpose of assisting medical in-
Spectors in the original inspection
(work as well as to secure data for
| follow-up activities in the homes of
I children needing corrections. In-
| dividual cases followed up and cor-
| rected through the nurses’ efforts
involved 141,141 children, This
[figure is exclusive of the follow-up
work done among pre-school child-
fen which reached a total of 49,-

Potatoes.
Increased supplies of potatoes in
prospect in the 1931 crop year will
probably more than offset any im-
provement in demand if growers re-
spond as they usually do to potato
prices or if they plant the increased
acreage now reported as intended.
With average weather conditions dur-
ing 1931, potato growers are likely to
| receive lower prices for the 1931 crop
' than were received for the 1930 crop.
