80 Per Cent Acreage Cut Required
For Crop Loans


Reduction Of 80 percent in the
acreage planted to cash crops will be
required this year of farmers who pro-
cure crop production loans. The Sec
retary's regulations, however, stipu-
late that acreage reduction will not be
required of farmers who, in 1888,
plant no more than 40 acres of wheat;
20 acres of corn; 21s acres of truck
crops; acres of potatoes. This in
formation was given out by Lester
D. Johnson, field inspector for the
crop loans, who was here last week.
Farmers seeking crop production
loans this year are advised to obtain
application blanks and copies of the
regulations in their home counties,
rather than from Washington. Field
agents of the Crop Production Loan
Office are now designating representa-
tives in each farming county to in
form prospective borrowers of the re-
quirements governing loans and to
distribute application blanks and other
necessary forms. These agents will
assist farmers in filling out applica-
tions, without charge.
Accompanying the required 80 per
cent reduction in acreage planted to
cash crops, above the established min
imum, the 1888 regulations limit the
amount available to any farmer to
$500.
In addition to the reduction re-
quired this year in acreage of cash
crops, borrowers must agree to plant
a garden for home use and sutti-
cient acreage of feed crops to supply
feed for their livestock.
Loans will be made, the regulations
further declare, "to farmers who are
unable to obtain loans for crop pro-
duction during the year 1888 from
other sources. These loans may be
made to such individuals as are found
by the Secretary of Agriculture to
have acreage fit for seeding and who
are without means to purchase the
supplies necessary for crop produc-
ton during the year 1888.
No loan will be made to any ap-
plicant who has a means of livelihood
other than farming. Loans will not
be made for purchase of machinery
or livestock, or for the payment OF
taxes, debts, or interest or debts.
Loans will not be made for the feeding
of livestock other than workstock used
in crop production.

Disproportion between farm tax
es in Maryland and the income
of farmers has grown so in the last
few years, according to figures COM
piled by the University of Maryland,
that agriculturalists in some parts of
the State were assessed more than half
their incomes for taxes for 1881.
Figures showing the ratio of taxes
to income were made pubic in Bulletin
No. 339, of the Agricultural Expert
ment Station. They were compiled by
DR.. S. H. DeVault, department head
of agricultural economics, and W. P.
Walker, an assistant.
Measured In Produce
1t took only forty-eight bushels of
wheat in 1911 to pay. the average farm
property tax bill in Maryland. In
1881 it required 1876 bushels. In 1911
only 218 gallons Of milk would pay
the taxes, but in 1881 to took 429 gal
Ions. Likewise, only 207 dozen eggs
were needed in 1911, as compared with
488 dozen in 1881.
In 1929 farmers of the Piedmont
area had an average farm income of
$1,595 after paying tax bill of
1884 per farm, but in 1881 they had
only 1856 left as farm income after
paying taxes.
"Taxes are consuming a larger per
cent of the farm income" the bulletin
stated, leaving less for the pur-
chase of other goods and services"

GARDEN SEED FOR
COUNTY'S NEEDY
New Relief Plan VIII be Under Dfrec.
tiOn Of Red Cross Organf.
Zat1On.

That needy families in Pine county
will have garden supplies next fall
and winter to help largely in their
subsistence is apparent since the Pine
County Emergency Relief committee
acting on instructions received from
the office of the State Supervisor Of
Relief, is distributing garden seeds
to those families which are being
aided by federal aid funds.
The Pine County Emergency Relief
committee has turned the direction of
the subsistence gardening project
over to the Red Cross. This respOn-
sibility has been accepted by the Red
Cross for the reason that our county
has no agricultural agent, and be-
cause this seems a very constructive
way to help needy families to help
themselves. The plan is that these
gardens must be made to contribute
largely to the subsistence of needy
families next winter and thus aid
them in helping themselves.
The rules laid down by the State
Supervisor of Relief are as follows:
Soil must be prepared for gardens by
applicants for seeds, before the seeds
are turned over to them. In addition
to this the responsible head of every
family who is given garden seed Of
any kind for a subsistence garden
will sign a printed garden pledge
form which will also constitute a re-
ceipt acknowledging the gift of the
seeds.
The seeds are to be delivered to the
Red Cross store room in Hinckley by
the Northrup King & Company some
day this week and will be distributed
| from there to the members of the
Pine County Executive committee of
American Red Cross for distribution
These seeds are to be delivered
only to families on the relief lists OF
the county and accepting the seeds
constitutes an obligation on the part
of the recipient to try earnestly tc
produce a profitable garden from
these seeds.
1t is emphasized by the committee
that garden plots must be prepared
for planting before seeds will be de-
livered.

Providing dental service for in- digent school children is a prac- tice that should be encouraged. Ex. perience indicates that cOmmunt- ties cannot depend on private phil anthropy to provide this import ant health service.
 Of course, if there happens to be within the community a wealthy individual or a health agency who is willing to set up a scientifically managed and supervised dental clinic for poor children-all well and good. If such is not the case, community will find that tho small amount of money necessary to provide such treatment will be of little consequence to the towns financial status.
 For instance, a certain city could set up a dental clinic for it's school children by making one change in its budget. One of the city depart. ments. was given two thousand dollar automobile to provide trans- portation for its executive. The same purpose would have been accomplished by purchasing a thouand dollar car. The difference would have set up an effective den- tai service program for indigent school children.
 Just g little thought on the sub- ject will convince the average citi- zen that dental clinic provid. ing dental treatment for school

 Lines and wrinkles have no place in the skin of the modern woman, busy though she may be.
 Everyone knows that middle age Is bound to bring a few lines and there's no- reason to worry about them unless too many ap- pear. As a matter of fact, they often are quite becoming and a face has more real character in, 1t because of them. -t.A
 Getting enough sleep is one way to ward off lines. The right dict helps too.
 Muscle oil tends to eradicate fine lines around the eyes and mouth. A few drops of 1t go a long way. Put it on after your face has been cleaned and patted. Warm and stimulated skin will abs sorb it more quickly.
 Remember that lines occur sooner in dry skin. For that rea- son give your complexion plenty of nourishment. A thick tissue cream will put oil back into a dry- ing skin. Don't be afraid to leave little of it on all night.
 Don't wrinkle your forehead when you think or read. That gesture often causes permanent lines. And don't pucker your mouth in an unnatural position. Try to look calm and at ease al- ways. It has a soothing effect on people whom you contact and 1t will help to keep your skin free of wrinkles.

children will bring about an un- believable saving in future budgets for dental treatment.
 It has been estimated that in town having one thousand children, a dental clinic will save at least three hundred of the permanent teeth each year.
 Think of what that means in terms of future extraction fees, of fees for replacing these missing teeth in later years, not forgetting the many physical ailments that usually arise from the presence of infected teeth.
 A school dental clinic in most localities offers treatment to at least fifty per cent of the school population. The dental inspection offers benefits to all the school children. It seems, therefore, that service that offers so many ad- vantages to such a large proportion of the future men and women should be included within every school district.
 The Council of Mouth Hygiene of the New Jersey State Dental so- ciety is confident that it is per- forming distinct public service when it encourages the establish ment of school dental clinics for indigent school children and offers to cooperate with any community desiring to inaugurate dental service program.

THE FAMOUS DESIGNER, Delighted That Gogo
 Is Independent Girl
By JULIA BLANsHARD fNEA Service Writer)

New York.-The name ''Schiapa- relli" means good looking clothes to most women. Such as a black spring suit with epaulets bordered with monkey fur, sports suits fast ened with clips instead of buttons, a swanky circus hat or some other appealing apparel that bears her signature.. But there's little lady in EnRfiland right this minute to whom the name "Elsa Schiaparel- li' means mother.
 Of Schiaparelli the couturier, Schiapareln the poet, and Schiapa- reiii rhe architect the whole world has heard, Few realize just what cana ble. conscientious, modern mother this petite Italian woman is. Al mother with theories that she puts into practice on how to bring up child. .
 Gogo. as Schiaparelli's little 12 year old daughter is named, is probably the only person in the feminine world who has questioned her mothers taste in what girls should wear. Schiapareli doesn t mind. z
 Independent Child
 "Her independence amuses me. she laughed recalling Gogo's s point t-blank refusal on one occasion to wear a dress that her noted mother designed just for her. .'.Why shouldn't a girl have her own ideas about what she wants I respect her suggestions and al- ways carry them out just as well as I can"
 Gogo is in England now be- cause Schiaparelli wants her daughter. to have just as much country life as she possibly car. :
 q think the principal thing we can give our children is health" Schiaparelli told me. "I want Gogo to get such feeling of the coun. try into her very marrow that she will always enjoy going back to 1t and will be able to get a sense Of peace out of it."
 When she isn't in school in tran uuil England, Gogo brings her dogs and cats and other pets to her mothers lovely little house in Paris. The house is a gem, all dec- orated by Schiaparelli herself, very modern, with great, thick white Algerian rugs on the floors, white walls, white Venetian blinds and great bowls of white flowers every where.
 Learns About House
 Here the little daughter is taken
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-11-28

into the confidence of her mother. The whole affair of running house unfolds before her. She has part in planning and in the execution of little quiet parties at home so that when she grows to wdman- hood she will know that fine art of home making that makes Contin- ental women famous.
 'I don't care in the least what Gogo wants to do when she grows up," Schiaparelli says. II only want her to have abounding health, to be a balanced person, to know how to do things with her hands and to enjoy thinking. I'm sure she will want to do some thing. But the choice shall be hers and hers alone"
 Schiaparelli and her little daughter have many pleasant hours together as chums. They go to the theater, in which Schiapar- elli is tremendously interested. Friends say that this is more than sjust an interest, that deep down un- .derneath everything. Schiaparelli has an. urge to get into the theater herself, possibly as a director and manager, for the very way she dramatizes styles prove a latent talent, along this line.
 Life in the theater is . hard fight to win a place." Schiaparclli admitted. "But anything that is worth while is a hard fight. And don't you think the fight itself is what makes life interesting And she smiled that understanding crooked smile that is so part and parcel of this dynamic little 100- pound person that it makes you realize why her clothes have such an appeal. They, to, are charged with this straightforward zest in reality.
 Here to Visit
 Schiaparelli will be in America only fortnight. It isn't busi- ness trip she Is taking. It is for pleasure only. She was here 13 years ago. Her daughter was born here. She wants to go from coast
