By Associated Press

Washington, September s0.-Ap- continent of a special committee of five scientists of the department or agriculture to consider the prob lem of land utilization was an nounced today by Secretary Wallace. Consideration will be given to such factors as present and prospective production, domestic consumption and foreign demand and indicated in- crease in population. The commits srlee tsD1ebably will undertake as a collateral problem a comprehensive survey of available farm lands in the United States. including arid tracts in the west suitable for irri- gation, swamp lands which may be reclaimed by drainage and cut-over timber lands. as regards availability for reforestation and cultivation.
 Many persons assume that there is an unlimited reserve supply of farm land" Secretary Wallace said sSuch is not the case, however, as by far the greater part of the bill Hon acres not yet in farms probably can never be used for the growing of crops and can only be so used at heavy expense for clearing, drainage, irrigation or fertilization"

Rains Cause Light Gate Receipts at
 Limestone Fair

Athens, September 30.-(Sp )- Owing to the light gate receipts dur ing the regular four days of the Limestone county fair this week, the association has decided to continue the fair through Saturday.

There was a fairly good crowd at the grounds yesterday and last night, but the rain which began falling about S;3o o'clock, put a damper on the maneuvers and drove the vis itors away. The Athens Masonic band has been furnishing music at the fair this week and has been re- ceiving compliments from everyone for the splendid music they have been rendering.
