Government
Gives Plans for
Farm Program
Place Increased Emphasis on Pro-
gram to Expand Credit and
Supervise Self Help.
WASHINGTON, April 27 (UP)
Department of agriculture farm aid
plans disclosed increased emphasis
tcelay on a program of expanded
credit and supervised self help as
opposed to government subsidies.
Less than 5400.000.000 of the $1,
1:0 0,0 00.0 00 farm aid program for
this year will be in soil conservation
benefit, or subsidy payments. The re
mit inder will be in crop and rehabili
tation loans, officials said. "The shift
of emphasis represents a definite
trend in administration agricultural
polity." an official close to Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace said.
More "strings" than ever before
v. ill be tied to the 1375,000,000
which the AAA will spend in direct
benefit payments this year. Diversi
fied farming and soil erosion control
i:ro two major requirements.
The department plans to spend
only about $25,000,000 of the $17 5.
000,000 recommended by President
Roosevelt for rural relief in direct
grants to needy. The remainder will
be rehabilitation loans bearing 5 per
cent interest.
In the past five years the govern
ment has spent, or has in outstand
ing loans, approximately ?4,000.o00.
Ooo for farm aid. Of that amount
nearly 50o.o00.000 are in loans, prin
cipally on 6.O0O.OOO bales of cotton.

ONLY A Va WIFE?
MEN because they are men can
never understand a three-quarter
wife a wife who is all love and
kindness for three weeks of the month
but a hell-cat the fourth.
And make up your mind men never
will understand. There are certain
things a woman ha3 to put up with
and be a good sport.
No matter how your back aches
no matter how loudly your nerves
scream don't take it out on your
husband.
For three generations one woman
has told another how to go "smiling
through" with Lydia E. Finkham's
Vegetable Compound. It helps Nature
tone up the system, thus lessening the
discomforts from the functional dis
orders which women must endure in
the thre?e ordeals o life: 1. Turning
from girlhood into womanhood. 2. Pre
paring for motherhood. 3. Approach
ing "middle age."
Don't be a three-quarter wife. Take
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and go "smiling through." Over
a million women have written in re
porting benefit. Why not give this
world-famous medicine a chance to
help YOU?
