Business & Industry BANKERS LISTS WAYS TO I P FARM INCOME The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, looking at the agri culture picture for 1953 over the four-state area it serves, had some advice for farmers in the year ahead. The advice, pro pounded as answers to the ques tion, what can be done to make the highest profit in 1953, rec ommended in brief summary: 11> Some hard thinking on ways of increasing production efficiency, particularly uses of fertilizer, choice of varieties and selection of growing practices. 12' Maintaining close contact with agents and state experiment station results, which take guess work out of farming, and provide the best available advice. '3' With a scarcity of farm labor a certainty, every effort should be exerted to ge the most efficient production out of avail able labor, as a means of ex panding output and creating more income. In short, use the best materials and means to outgrow 1952, then harvest with a more efficient labor force—if 1953 income is to be higher. There is one addi tional word of advice. Don't hesi tate to consult your banker.

Wage Earner's Life Span Extends Five More Years in '51 NFU' YORK The average ieny.tii of* life among American wa.ro earners and their families reached an all-time high of 68U years in 1951, a gain of five years in the past decade. Metropolitan Life In surance Company statisticians re port on the basis of the experi : encr among the company's indus . trial policy-holders. The statisticians forecast that. ! barring a major catastrophe, the average length of life for the American people will reach the ! biblical three score and ten be fore the end of the current decade Last year's gains were made in spite of the increase in male mor tality over 1950 at the main mili tary ages, the statisticians pointed out. and v.as due to the gain in longevity for females As a result, the difference in the average j length of life for the two sexes be-, i came greater than ever before, women having an advantage of about 5>a years in 1951 In the last 40 years the indus trial population has made greater progress m reducing its mortality than has the general population In 1911-1912 the expectation of life at bitth among industrial policyhold ers was 6'- years less than that for the population as a whole; now the two groups are on a par." the statisticians concluded.

What Queer Instinct Tells 'Em Drop Dead? SCHENECTADY, N Y. — Scien tists at General Electric's labora tories here have been trying to decide why the lemmings of Nor way commit suicide each year. Many theories have been ad vanced to explain why these curi ous animals, which drown them selves in the ocean each year, have such a strange habit, but none are completely acceptable, and the real cause is not known. However it seems to be associ ated with over population and the subsequent scarcity of food Then they migrate to the west perhaps m search of more food, and when they reach the shoreline, they keep on going and drown. To explain why they migrate westwards, rather than in some other direction, it has been sug gested that in past ages they found food in a land mass now under water, and that this racial habit still persists Live coral is called a polyp.
