had in squash last year and 1t Is
again in the same crop. Present in
dications are that I am going 10
do very well financially with this
piece of land.
This acre of squash is being farm
ed on shares with my father. Inc
remaining 10 acres which I am
renting from my father are being
farmed entirely by me, and am
paying a rent of $40 per acre for
the year. These 10 acres last fan
were put in lettuce, some being
ready early and some late, and
received enough from the sale of
the lettuce to pay one-half of the
years rent plus all lettuce produc-
ton and marketing costs, and in
addition to have enough remaining
to pay all production and market

same 10 acres. With the exception
of the 500 rent which I still owe,

By RUSSELL WAGNER

I started to Central Union high
school as a freshman in the fall of
1923, and as lived on a farm and
was interested in farming I en-
rolled in agriculture. I selected let
tuce production as my project and
selected II of an acre of land
which I was able to rent from my
father. My dad helped me prepare
the land for planting, but all the
rest of the work was done by me
after school and on Saturdays. The
year was good one for lettuce and
my ground was very rich so I had
a perfect stand and all of the let
tuce proved to be four dozen per
crate in size and all of it sold from
So per crate on up. cleared $115.35
from this 4 acre of lettuce.
In the fall of 1929 I moved to a
new farm and here was unable to
continue with a field crop project
so this year I selected poultry
which was about the only thing
available for me on the new farm.
I started in November with SO Buff
Orpingtons and in January I
bought so Rhode Island Reds. 1t
was a big mistake for me to buy
such a small number of chicks and
to get them in two different batch
es as 1t was as much work to take
care of brood of SO as it would
have been for a brood four or five
times that large. I was inexperien-
ced and had lot to learn, but I
enjoyed the project and learned a
great deal from it even though I
cleared only $8.70 that year on my
project.
The fall of 1890 found me with a
brood of 100 Barred Rock chicks. I
raised 80 of these and became in
terested in caponizing the cockerels
as did several other boys in the ag-
riculture class. caponized 35 cock
erels with the loss of only one. 1
sold there when they weighed from
eight to 10 pounds each and sold
the pullets to poultryman. This
project made net profit of $5137.
When I started my senior year in
the fall of 1881, had completed the
three years of agriculture offered
in the high school, but I was in
terested in carrying a project al
though there was no agriculture
class in which could enroll. Dur
ing the summer we had moved on
to a new farm making it possible
for me again to have truck crop
project, the type I was most inter-
ested in.
I selected one acre of land in the
corner of the farm, this acre hav-
ing been an old mule corral, and
being well protected on one side
by a row of tall eucalyptus trees.
I planted this acre November Is in
summer squash and when the
plants came up covered them with
the tepee type of cover which is
built of heavy paper and arrow
weed and is very commonly used
in this locality.
The winter was unusually cold,
but lost very few as they were so
well protected. On March 4, 1882, I
removed the covers. The plants
grew so well that I was able to
start harvesting by March 20. I
picked 404 Tugs of % pounds net
weight during the season, shipping
and selling all of them in San
Francisco and Oakland. Expenses
for the project amounted to $152.67,
with the total receipts being $401.56.
My contract with my father called
for my paying him 4 of the net
profit as rent for the acre and to
pay him for some work which he

RECOVERY PLAN IS SUCCESS FOR
 MANY REASONS
Balances for First Time the Rights and Inter-

New York, Nov 13-(UP)-The MIRA plan will succeed because it balances, for the first time in Am erican history, the rights and in- terests of business, wage earners, industry, agriculture, and consum- CTS, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins said today in speech be- fore the Merchants Association of New York.
 "The MIRA plan seems to be a practical method and already has much good," she said Some 100000 unemployed men and women have been put back on jobs as result, direct and indirect of the codes and other recovery measures and are drawins. pay en- velopes with a living wage in them,
 Purchasing power of the wage earners increased $64, 100000 weekly in September over the payroll last March.
 "Criticism has value in this pro- gram for out of it may come im- provements in our recovery actlvi- ties. But always remember that MIRA is a going concern, that 1t has accomplish things which would have been called impossible a year ago, and that as it gains momentum there should be steady and continu- ed improvement"
 improvement has been re- flected in the farmers budget, Miss Perkins said, by 39 per cent in- crease in the wholesale price nt agricultural products while the wholesale price of on-agricultural goods advanced only 16 per cent.

YALE IS LIBERAL
 OVER WET GOODS
No Sales Allowed on the Campus, But There Is
 Plenty Nearby

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 13- No official recognition of the passing of prohibition is being taken by Yale officials.
 Sale of liquor or beer has never been allowed on the Yale campus but, since last spring when 3.2 beer was legalized, students have pur- chased beer in the smoke shops near the campus, or if they wished, keep it in their rooms.
 The same condition will prevail after Dec. with liquor as well as beer on sale in package stores.
 There is a rule against students having liquor in their rooms, but it is not enforced: Of course, if a students abuses his privileges, he may be disciplined for misbehavor.
 The Yale News recently asked, editorially, that beer be served in the college dining halls. This is somehwat along the lines advo- cated by Randell Henderson, pro- lessor of physiology, who a year or so ago advocated college beer gardens for students.
 Whether Mory's, Yale famous old drinking club which became an eating club IA years ago, will re- vert to its old glory, is doubtful. A private corporation, it was founded years ago as a place for Yale men to meet, eat and drink. The Con- necticut law, which will forbid clubs, hotels and restaurants from dispensing liquor, probably will prevent Mory's attaining its old time charm.
