I have my answer down pat: “Select a funeral director who has a reputation for conscientious service and fair prices. Ask several friends who have had occasion to call funeral directors in the last few years. Base your decision on these findings.” I have found that firms like the ZWICK Funeral Home, here j in Decatur, owe much of their growth to the recommendation of those they have served.

1939 PROGRAM TO BE COSTLY Agricultural Program May Cost ThreeFourths Billion Washington, Aug. 16 —<U.R>— The department of agriculture announced plans today for a 1939 agricultural adjustment administration program expected to be the most expensive yet undertaken by the new deal. It may total more than 1750,000,000. Price-adjustment payments on corn, wheat, cotton, rice and tobacco —If 1938-1959 crop year prices are below 75 per cent of paritywill add $212,000,000 to government benefit payments. Officials estimated the cost of the 1939 program thus would aggregate between $750,000,000 and $1,000,000,000. This will include an estimated $450,000,000 in soil conservation benefit payments; $212,000,000 in price-adjustment payments; $75,000,000 to $100,000,000 in surplus commodities removal; $50,000,000 in direct aid and an undertermined amount in administration and the financing of crop loans. Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace announced that the new program would be mapped along virtually the same lines as, this year. His announcement came after 100 farmer-representatives meeting here with AAA officials recommended that the 1939 program "should not be changed materially.” AAA Administrator H. R. Tolley said however that the new program took into account the mounting surpluses of farm products and urged farmers to "make full use of marketing quotas to prevent the demoralization of farm prices and farm income.” Department officials, meanwhile, planned an extensive loan program for this fall to enable farmers to hold 1938 surpluses off the market. AAA officials said an announcement on cotton loans would be made after Wallace has conferred with President Roosevelt and surplus commodity corporation officials. Payments for soil conservation and soil depleting acreage diversion next year will be about the listed the probable rates of paysame as this, Wallace said. He ments to farmers participating in the 1939 program as follows: Cotton: 1.8 to 2 cents a pound plus the price-adjustment payment of 1.8 to 2 cents a pound, a total of 3.6 to 4 cents a pound on the farm's normal yield per acre of cotton planted under the 1939 allotment. Corn in the commercial area: 8 to 10 cents a bushel, plus a priceadjustment of 5 to 6 cents, a total of 13 to 16 cents per bushel on the farm’s normal yield per acre for each acre in the corn allotment. Wheat: 16 to 18 cents per bushel, plus a price-adjustment payment of 10 to 12 cents a bushel, a total of 26 to 30 cents per bushel on the farm's normal yield per acre for each acre in the wheat allotment. o TWO DESPERADOES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) but neither had been harmed.
