Knight, thief of the bureau of chemistry Sand soils, reports. He has just re turned to Washington from an in spection trip of the middle west, porthwest and Pacific coast states, and reports that measures are being taken in all districts to prevent erosion. f. The first loans approved by Sec retary Hyde’s National Advisory loan committee to farm credit or livestock loans companies have been granted to organizations in Arkan sas and Alabama. The loans, two in number, amounted to $30,000 each. Nine counties of Florida are en gaged in an extensive tick indica tion movement. Since 1900 when the tick eradication movement began, 36 of 67 infested counties have been released from the quarantine. i A half acre garden, properly caved for, will produce enough Vegetables for the average family during the summer, and some sur plus for storing, canning and drying |for winter, the department of agri culture reports. f Another of Uncle Sam’s agricul tural ambassadors has returned urom foreign climes with many val uable species of soybeans for possi ble use in the United States. He is William J. Morse of the department of agriculture, who collected about '4 000 lots of seed after a two year search in Japan, Korea and Man ‘churia. J Both production and consumption tof meat decreased in 1930, figures of the bureau of agriculturca eco nomics show. Production of dressed meat in 1930 totaled 16,394,000,000 pounds, as against 16,803,000,000 pounds in 1929. Per capita consump tion of meats during 1930 was 131.7 pounds, the lowest since 1919 when the consumption was 130 pounds. Minnesota, through its college of agriculture, state and county asso ciations, is starting a concerted drive against wheat smut which last year accounted for $5,000,000 damage in the spring wheat area. Other states In the spring wheat belt are watch ing Minnesota’s battle with an eye to adopting similar methods. Much of the lumber used in com ing generations will come from Alaska, and the forest service is taking means to protect the vast acreage of timberland in the terri tory. An estimate of the forests of Alaska is set at about 71,347,000 acres, an area as large as the states of Missouri, Main eand New Jersey combined. One solution to the farm tax bur den is the consolidation of town ships, small villages and even coun ties, according to Dr. C. J. Galpin, sociologist of the United States de partment of agriculture. In order to finance modern conveniences, a rural community must be composed Df not less than 1,000 rural families, Hines Appeal to Veterans. b From Kansas City Star. The country has been impressed with the thought that it is possible for veterans so to conduct them selves in times of peace as to com promise the exalted standing they ..thieved by their heroism and ser vice in war. Recognising such a possibility, Fiank T. Hines, director of the veterans’ bureau, has issued a e arning that unless the former ser vice men show peace-time patriot ism, they may be instrumental in imposing “intolerable burdens'’ on the country. This warning, not expressily, but impliedly, was based on the do T Truck Gardens open rrotit For Live-at-Home Fanners GROSS RETURNS FROM HOME GARDEN PRODUCE FED TO FAMILY H« ACRE - £225 NET PROFIT - £i90/// J' — CASH CROPS SOLO AT MARKET Yk ACRE TOBACCO-S 70 2 ACRES COTTON-S 65 4 ACRES CORN -_*80 $215 s\net profit - 5 ni " - TL The farm scales balance this way in North Carolina, with the re sult that “llve-at-home” exponents practice their theory—and their incomes have shown a decided increase. Raleigh, N. C. — — Farm girls and women enrolled in North Carolina home demonstration clubs increased their supply of home canned goods by a quarter of a mil lion cans in 1930 over the previous year. "Live-At-Home” enthusiasts say that using the average yields and average prices for cotton and to bacco in 1330, it would have taken more than nine acres of cotton and almost two and one half acres of I tobacco to purchase the vegetables | which can be grown in a half acre ' garden. Food and feed crops which show a 4 per cent to 35 per cent gain, in North. Carolina include corn, oats, barley, hay, soy beans, cow peas, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, sorghum, truck crops, laying hens, and dairy cows. The cotton acre age was reduced 12 per cent and the income from other products in creased $19,000,000. he says. With consolidation, such fa cilities as modern hospitals, schools, churches and other local institutions could be stabiished. — A new legume, introduced in Flor ida in 1929, and which has been spread over the south since, is re ported as being a valuable cover crop by the department of agri culture. It is ‘ crotalaria,” of which there are GOO species, five of which are native to eastern United States. The movement from farms' to cit ies has declined, and the farm pop ulation Ls showing an increase for the first time in 10 years the bu reau of agricultural economics re ; ports. The movement from farms to I cities was 2,155,000 persons in 1926, : 1.876,000 in 1929 and 1,543,000 in 1930. The movement from cities to farms last year was the highest since 1924, more than 1,392,000 per sons leaving urban for rural life. In truck farming it is best to re serve a small corner of the farm for a seed bed. the department of agri culture advises. Plants of such crops as lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower and tomato will be more stocky if they are started in a specially prepared soil and later transplanted. French Assume Leadership. Joseph Wood Krutch in Harper'3 Magazine. At his mast generous the French man regards the visitor ns the pos sible recipient of the benefits of French culture. It would never oc cur to him to suspect that he had I anything nonmaterial to gain from mands made on Congress in the last session and on intimations cf still greater demands likely to come In the near future. It will be re tailed that the first proposal as to veterans' insurance was that the policies be cashed in full, not be cause of any need by the majority cf the insured, but because a consid erable number were in actual need. The cash demand was denied, but the loan privilege was extended to 50 per cent. The extent to which this privilege has been exercised— f ar beyond those in real need of it— has justiiid the arguments made contact with the representatives or other civilizations. Even at the height of the uncriti cal enthusiasm produced by the war, Americans were sometimes a little startled by the calmness with which they found the French as suming that the interests of France were naturally the first concern of her allies as well as of herself. No one else seemed ever to have taken quite so literally the saying about every man’s having two coun tries. which was, for the French, not merely a graceful compliment, but a natural and reasonable fact. And when, a little later, there arose a ‘‘party of the intelligence” (com posed of quite respectable French intellectuals) which calmly pro posed—without the least suspicion that the phraseology might by oth ers be considered insolent—"an in tellectual union of the world under the leadership of victorious France, guardian of all civilization,” we had a glimpse into that abyss of nation al complacency which in France is so familiar and so nearly universal that it is never even rebuked. American complacency, so often satirized, is, as a matter of fact, unsure and merely blustery by com parison — conspicuous chie-ly be cause it is neither universal nor very skillfully articulate. The bet ter educated an American the more likely he is to develop a spirit of self-criticism and a tendency to ward cultural internationalism. But in France, on the contrary, exactly the reverse is true. It is the intellectual classes which are most arrogant, most provincial, and most sure that France alone is the guar dian “of all civilization.” against it, but without avail, ix\ Congress. The people desire in the fullest sense that victims of the war. those whose earning power has been de stroyed or seriously impaired, and Ihc dependents of those who died or have been made helpless, be just ly provided for by the government. But they are not in sympathy with lavish generosity toward all vetcr vice rendered, where rendered, or to ans, regard'.e.vs of the kind of ser the veterans’ present circumstances.

That is why pure Syrup Pepsin is so good for women. It just suits their delirate organism. It is the prescription of an old family doctor who has treated thousands of women patients, and who made a special study of bowel troubles. It is fine for children, too. They love its taste. Let them have it every time their tongues are coated or their skin is sallow! Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is made from fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin and other harm less ingredients. When you’ve a sick headache, can't eat, are bilious or sluggish; and at the times when you are most ant to be constipated, take a little of this famous prescription (all drug stores keep it ready in big bottles), and you'll know why Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is the favorite laxative of over a million women I Da.

A LOW-COST GAS SERVICE FOR ALL No Matter Where You Live You Can Light, Heat and Cook With Gas It may seem strange, hut It Is true nevertheless, that while many city folks are complaining about high gas rates, thousands of rural folks are enjoying modern gas service for lighting, heating nnd cooking at low cost. Stranger still is the fact that these country residents are far from nny gas mains. Here's the answer: Along with the many other Improvements for the farm nnd rural communities has come pressure gns appliances for Hie home. These new Inventions have especially been a boon to the housewife. They lighten her work, save her time, and add no small measure of contentment to every member of the family. Pressure gas appliances make nnd burn their own gns from regular un treated motor fuel. There are mod ern cook stoves that fry, bake or broil—roast, toast or boil, just like the regular city gas range. There are lamps and lanterns that produce 200 to 300 candlepower of pure white light; radiant heaters thnt produce healthful heat; self-lieating Irons without cords or tubes; water heaters, utility stoves, etc. Inventive genius has made these appliances safe nnd dependable. They are complete in themselves. There are no pipes to connect up; no Installation costs of nny kind. They produce a clear, blue gns flame that is actually hotter than city gns. In obtaining better light for nil the family, easier cooking facilities, nnd quicker, cleaner heat through the use of these appliances, the mod ern farm housewife had bid good-by to many old time drudgeries. No longer does she have to clean the old oil inrap chimneys and trim the wicks; no longer is there coal or wood to litter up the kitchen; or ashes to carry out; no more black ened pots and pans to scour. And on Ironing day she no longer car ries heavy sad-irons back and forth from stove to Ironing bonrds. That's real farm relief for the women folks!—Adv.

What every ENGINEER KNOWS The only road to full power from any engine, the only way to keep any machine in first-class condition, is by correct lubrication. The new model motors give oil a harder job. Their cylinder clearances are smaller. Compres sion and engine heat are higher. Engine speed has been increased. So new model oil was developed — new POLARINE. It defies the “cracking” and thin ning effect of high heat—always flows freely in cold weather—does not gum valves or carbon the motor—provides a tough, wear-resisting film. New Polarine enables motors to deliver full power and provides the utmost protection against wear—does everything that any oil can do for your motor.
