The new plan is expected to a- ' void much of the unfavorable crit- j ; ictsni coming from farmers who,. ' wished to cooperate, but who did i not know what their bases were in time to plan their fanning oper- , nt ions, or who could not divert the [ required amount because of ttnfavI orable circumstances caused in 1 1 | many eases by the marked in-' , crease in soil depleting crops since i ! 1932*33 to replace pastures and ' clovers killed by the 1934 drought I and in various reclamation pro- ‘ jects. As an example of how the new plan would operate, Vogler cited ' the fidlowing example: 1935 soil depleting acreage — ' 120 acres. Established soil depleting base i —IOO acres. | 1936 soil depleting acreage—lo 2 acres. Maximum 1936 acreage to earn maximum soil conserving payment —BS acres. Number of acres diverted from j 1935 acreage — 18 acres. Number of acres necessary to divert from 1935 acreage in order . to receive maximum soil couserv- ! ing payments — 35 acres. Maximum soil conserving payments which may be earned (15 x , 310.00 — 3150.00 Total amount of payments which are earned if this revision were! made, (18-35) of $150.00 or —lll.- ' 14. • This compares with a deducj tion of $20.00 which would bo made from soil building payments under the present procedure.)

MAKE PORCH ATTRACTIVE Beautification Os Open Air Porch Is An Aid To Comfort The open air porch is oftentimes the forgotten part of the home, perhaps because of the weather, which blows in a blizzard of snow 1 one month and a torrent of rain the next. But for many months in the summer and fall, the weather makes the porch attractive and we literally live there as much as we can. Why not, then, make the porch as attractive as the living room just inside the door? Most porches have an expanse of wall, broken occasionally only by a window or door, and usually painted a solid color. This makes for a drab appearance near at hand, although' the effect from the street might! be in the best architectural taste.! Indoors we would hang pictures I on such a wall, breaking its unin-1 teresting surface. Pictures ot i course would not do for the porch, i I but wall and hanging baskets of 1 colorful plants will. The porch is outdoors where plants are in their | real element, and where they will grow to greater proportions and beauty with less attention than inI doors. Practically all plants which will grow indoors are suitable for the porch. Vines such as the Japanese evergreen are especially fine be-i cause they will drape the wall and I provide a living, colorful screen. I Pots of ageratum or marigold and j many other common or uncommon i plants could be used in this way.' If your porch has two heavy J posts which mark the entrance! j from the sidewalk as so many do,t l install two wall brackets of uniterm size and design. They could ! contain two English Ivy plants or 'other trailing plants. The effect of such a practice is one of warmth i and welcome, and it helps much I to make the house seem a part of l the growing landscape about it. Little care is needed for plants on the porch. The fresh air will keep them more healthy than indoors, but they will need considerably more water. Look at them every morning, and twice a day 1 on hot, windy days when evaporation is most likely to be troublesome. Place the brackets on the wall at a height where the plants will get part of the sun. This means not too high, or in a dark corner. If you wants fast growth, feed them occasional!. CORNHUSK RUG IS ADDED USE I New Means Os Utilizing Product Otherwise (Jone To Waste Fayetteville, Arkansas, July 10 A corn|nifdj rug- is onl* more means of utilizing a home grown , product which might otherwise be wasted. “Most of us think that once the corn is gathered, once we have ■ eaten the succulent ear, or satis- . tied the appetite with corn bread or hominy, the tale of corn is told. But this is not so by any means. Dried and stored away until the winter's leisure hours, the discarded shucks furnish raw materials out of which can be made useful and Interesting articles —and atnong these interesting articles is the cornhtask trust" according to Miss Sybil D. Bates, extension specialist in home Industries, University of Arkansas College of Agriculture. The corn husks are first soaked in a tub or bucket of warm water to soften them. Tear inso strips an inch and a half, or less, in width when they are pliable and will tear without breaking crosswise. Keep them moist but not ; dripping while all the braiding and sewing is in progress. The husks may be braided flat Portable Electric and Acetylene Welding and Cutting Yake Welding Co.

in groups of thret? up to 21, but the smaller number will be easiest to handle. Keep the husks turned under on each edge. Join each [strip by overlapping before reachj ing the narrow end ot the husk. Practice Is needed to make the joining inconspieious. When more I than three strands are to be braided, pin each strip flat side by side. Beginning at the right-hand side, place the last strand over one and under the next until all have been passed over or under, then conti nue from left to right, and so on until enough of the corner husks I have been braided into a continuous braid to make a rug. An oval rug will keep its place on the floor better than a round rug, as this has a tendency to j bulge at the center. A center strip! of 13 inches makes a rug 18 by 301 iffches, and a 17-inch strip gives a finished rug 24 by 40 inches. Tips From The Experiment Colleges Arizona I Try serving string beans as you • do asparagus, says the University [ lof Arizona agricultural extension i service. Remove the strings and j | tie the beans in bunches. Cook and | serve them this way. Illinois Soybean hay was fed once a day I to part of the University of Illinois i farm horses this spring. Timothy ■ was given at the other two feedj ings. The horses did good work, ! kept in good flesh and maintained' [ good spirits right through the seai son. Two six-horse teams, each 1 with a gang plow, plowed as stead- | ily as the weather would allow, iJ. L. Edmonds, professor ot horse j husbandry, of the agricultural j college, believes that the extra proteins supplied in some legume hay I helps work horses. Montana Gardeners are advised by E. E. '[ Isaac, extension horticulturist, to make preparations now for th<( .[ control of Insect pests that will ap- ■ pear later on in the summer. Too I often the purchase of insecticides ['and equipment is delayed until , damage has been done to plants, even though the insects are coil--1 trolled later, he said.

July 10 — As [ I the sheep breeding season ap-j I proaches. Dr. M. Jacob, head of I the animal husbandry depiytment of the University of Tennessee, : points out that the use of a purebred ram will bring greater reI turns than any other livestock in- ! vestment on the farm. While there are a number of factors involved in the production of good and choice lambs, for which this state has gained an enviable reputation, one that is has-! ic and among the most important is to have a good lamb with which .to begin, he states. A lamb inferior in type and conformation at birth will be an inferior lamb at the time of marketing. While good breeding ewes are essential the i[rani yields a decided influence in | every flock. No sheep grower in . Tennessee should permit a scrub i, ran to head his flock. The rani ; should not only be registered but should possess type, conformation . and quality in keeping with the thick, plump, well finished spring . ’ jamb Some studies have been made : at the Tennessee experiment sta- ■ tions comparing early spring ■ lambs sired by good registered] j Southdown and Hampshire ranis ■ with lambs sired by scrubs. In one 1 i experiment covering 2 years study ; the average daily gain per lamb for those sired by the registered i jams was 10 percent higher than l for those sired by scrub rams. The •■average weight per lamb at time ■[ of marketing was 73 pounds for ■ j the former and 65.4 pounds for the

[ latter. The lambs were sold by grade on foot and those sired by [ scrub rains brought nearly 23 per- ' cent less per head than did the . lambs sired by registered rams. A comparison on the basis of returns for wool is even more significant. " — — o - ' ——• FIGHT WORMS WITH POISON Give Directions On Application Os Poison Bait For Cut Worms Geneva, N. Y.. July 10 — Frequent reports from different sections of the State of severe injury by cut worms to vegetables, strawberries. raspberries, and grapes [ and even in green house plantings : have led entomologists at the ex--1 periinent station here to issue dir•ections on the preparation and use of a poison bait that has proved i highly satisfactory in numerousl trials. ’ The following formula will provide sufficient material to treat 2 .to 3 acres, depending on how the bait is applied. The formula may be modified where larger or smaller areas are to be treated. ‘The formula is as follows: Bran, 20 pounds: paris green, 1 pound; cheap syrup, 2 quarts; three lemons; and about 3% gallons of wat- ' er. The bran and paris green are ■ mixed dry. The juice of the lemons is squeezed into the water and the peel and pulp chopped to fine bits and added to the watep. The syrup is then dissolved in the wat- ■ er and fruit mixture and the liquid stirred into the bran thoroly in or- ; der to dampen the latter evenly. If I a smaller quantity is wanted the > amounts of the different ingredi ients should be reduced propori tionately. > Because cut worms are nighti feeders, it is recommended that t the poison bait be applied in the i evenings so that it will be in a ■ fresher condition and thus more ; attractive to the worms than it ; applied eoilier in the day. owing . to the danger of poisoning chick- . ens, birds, and dogs, it is advisable ■ to cover the bait with stones, ] shingles etc., if it is applied in s small pots. It is claimed, however, ■ that when the bait is broadcasted r so that only flakes of the bran are j' offered to the insects, the danger 1 mote. i of poisoning other animals is re- !

TURN LIVESTOCK INTO MEADOWS : Turn Livestock Into Meadows, Oats Field As Result Os Drought Urbana, 111., July 10 — With lhe| drought resulting in a shortage of 1 pasture In most sections of Ind- ' lana and Illinois, E. T. Robbins. I livestock extension specialist, college of agriculture. University of j Illinois, states that farmers are turning livestock into meadows ' and oats flelds. "Some waste results when live- 1 stock are turned into tall growths of clover or mixed clover and tim-, othy, but the stock will harvest a crop and make good use of it,”. 1 Robbins said. “When the regular hay land is used in this manner for [ pasture, the usual practice is to depend upon soybeans or oats for hay. i i "Oats cut when they start to 1 form seed make a good quality hay and a good acre yield. With oats as cheap as they arc, they may pay better for hay or even for pas ture than they will for cutAing and I threshing." Many fields of alfalfa and red i clover and also of mixed clover' and timothy already have been i cut for hay in various sections of j the state. Subsequent growth or-1 dinarily would be used for hay or j in some cases be harvested for ( . | seed. However, if stock is turned in tp graze whatever growth may' . exist, Robbins states that it usual j ly pays in such an emergency as . a drouth. When for such cause more land 1 is included in the farm's pasture I ' area, it often happens that rains i , later on produce more than the' . normal amount of grazing late in . the season. “This extra pasture crop can be . handled by the stock if they are t left on grass longer," Robbins . said. “Most farmers consider the i t pasture season ended along in Oct- i , Ober. However, when a consider-! f able growth of grass or legumes is r SLu left upon the iaud at that I . time, the stock can make good! , use of this forage by grazing on I ( into the winter months if neces- [ sary in order to gather the crop.”! ;; o Auto Overturns Six Times [ Toledo.— (U,R) —An automobile | driven by Chester Tibbets overturned six times as it plunged

Intestinal Parasites In Farm Flocks Urbana, ill., July 10 Rapid spread among farm flocks of intestinal parasites at the rate of more than 10 per cent in the past five years requires not pink pills and cure-alls, hut good management and sanitation if flock own ers of the state are to protect their profits, according to Dr. Robert Graham, University of Illinois. "More than 40 per cent of the 6.8(H) poultry specimens presented in the past four years to the diagnostic laboratory at the college showed evidence of intestinal parasites,” Dr. Graham told the veterinarians and flock owners represented at the first of the schools. “Tapeworm, tbTslituting 20 per cent of the cases of intestinal parasites, is perhaps the most serious,” Dr. Graham continued. “How- ' ever, the problem of mortality in different flocks varies. It is apparent that a variety of diseases may be responsible for serious losses. Leucemia, a rarity a few years ago. is now recognized as one of the , most serious diseases flock owners have to contend with. This disease often occurs in flocks afflicted with different types of intestinlal worms." o Monkeys Snarl Traffic | Warren, 0.. —(UP)—This city's | biggest traffic jam of the year watt caused by two monkeys.
