Field Glass Very Handy
In this, or some other county near
this one, there lives a farmer and
wife who believe in having things
handy. They have, of course a tele
phone, a radio and a very fine meter
car, which, with other things make
life on the farm convenient and hap
py, or perhaps we should just say
convenient.
A salesman making the country
territory, chanced to pass a school
hoi'oe about a Quarter cf a mile from
the farm heme aforementioned, when
he observed the farmer encaged in a
very ernest conversation with the
pretty schoolteacher. He noticed how
earnestly they were talking and as he
passed the farm house a little way3
further on he observed that the farm
wife was standing on the porch with
a pair of held glasses in her hand
and with the same glued to her eyes,
looking in the direction of the couple
engaged in the interesting tete-a-tete
at the school house.
That is all of this chapter.

Single Con
tract May Include
Every Crop
Farm Administration to Encompass
All Easic Commodities JIust
Be Brawn Up Soon.
Washington. The farm adminis
tration has already turned consider
able attention a semi-permanent pro
grain, but it gave consideration first
Friday to plaa3 for a single acreage
reduction contract which would en
ccmpas all cf an individual farmer's
crops listed as basic commodities.
When congress tossed into the ad
ministration's lap a new list of basic
commodities, including beef cattle,
barley, rye, flax, peanuts and grain
sorghums, it wa apparent handling
them under the present system of in
dividual contracts for each crop
would b? impossible.
Later the farm relief program will
emerge into a permanent plan ol
federal purchase, and withdrawal
permanently from production, of
thousands of farm acres which will
be returned to the public domain as
parks, fish and game preserves, for
ests, and erosion prevention areas.
In the meantime, however, an in
termediate system must be set up to
carry on present programs for con
trolling production and eliminating
surpluses.
An authoritative administration
official declared, in connection with
the encompassing single acreage re
duction contract proposal: "We can't
wait six or eight months to complete
such a plan. It must be drawn up
within the next few months and be
r.ady to propose to farmer for sig
nature before the fall planting sea
son rolls around."
Such a modification of the present
program will present many problems
of formulation and administration,
officials concede. But will mean a
simplification cf the work cf every
one concerned with application of
tiie adjustment act.
County Committees Save.
The chief saving under the plan
v ill be in the time cf county pro
duction control committees who
supervise the details of contract oign
ing and application and the contract
signers themelves, administration
executives said.
The blanket contract will call for
but one set of figures cn a farme-r's
production, one ccunty committee,
and will probably provide for one
single- benefit payment, probably to
be distributed in two cheeks, one
shcrtly after the contract is signed
and the K.cond after compliance with
its terms is assured.
The principle cf compulsion is net
heard frequently in discussions of
the semi-permanent program Secre
tary Wallace and his lieutenants be
ing skeptical of the idea. They de
clare they will wait until results of
the experiment in compulsion con
tained in the Imnkh-ad bill to re
strict cotton production are appar
ent. The probability that the process
ing taxes, now used to finance the em
ergency programs will continue- for
seme time is apparent. It is argued
that, until a better idea is suggest
cdf; farmers must continue to be- in
duced to sign contracts by the re
ward cf b-ncfit payments paid out
of processing fare receipt.

"D0W1T 01 THE FAZM"
In the absence cf Mr. Ely's contri
butions to this eolnumn, wo are pub
lishing the following this week by
request of a reader. It is a poem that
was recited on the floor of the House
by Congressman Louis Ludlow, front
Indiana. P rhaps some of our rural
readers will see their ova life re
flected in its lines.
Down cn the farm, 'bent half
past four,
I slip on my pants and sneak out
the door;
Out in the yard I run like the
dickens
To milk ten cows and feed the
chickens.
Clean out the barn, cure;.- Xancy
and Jiggs,
Separate the cream, and slop the
pigs;
Work two hours, then eat like
a Turk,
And, by heck, I'm ready for a
full day's work.
Then I grease the wagon and put
on the raek.
Throw a jug of water in an old
grain sack,
Ilkch up the horses, hustle down
the lane
Must get the hay in, for it looks
like rain.
Look over yonder! Sure- as I'm
born,
Cattle on the rampage and cows
in tiie corn!
Start across the me-ddtr, run a
mile- or two.
Heaving like I'm wind-broke,
gt wet clear through.
Get back to the horses, then for
recompense.
Nancy get a-straddle of the barb-
cd-v. ire fence.
Joints all a-chiug and muscles
in a jerk,
I'm fit as a f dale for a full day's
work!
Work all summer till winter is
nigh,
T!:en figure up the books and
h-.avc- a big sii-h.
Worked ail year, didn't make a
thing;
Get less cash now than I had
last spring.
Now, some people toil us that
tbere ain't no hell;
But they never farmed, so, how
can they toil?
Bi:t when spring rolls 'round I
take another eliance.
While the fringe grows longer
on my old gray pants.
Give my s'.-penders a hitch, my
belt another jerk.
And, by heck, I'm ready for an
other year's work!

Why
Lipid Laxatives
are Back in Favor
The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that tbe richt dose of a
Crapcrly prepared liquid laxative will
ring a perfect movement without
any discomfort at the time, or after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
senna is a natural laxative. It does
not drain the system like the cathar
tics that leave you so thirsty. Dr.
Qddwell's Syrup Pepsin is a liquid
laxative which relies on senna for its
laxative action. It gently helps the 1
average person's bowels back to
regularity.
You can always get Dr. Caldwell's ,
Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready ;
for use. Member N. R. A,
