project.
The part OF the Replacement Crops
Section, according to Mr.. Cox, will bs
to work out with farmers the exchange
Of submarginal acres for good land, and
to advise them about types of crops
which may be planted on this SUBJ
marginal land.
Mr.. Cox emphasized that the Re-
placement Crops Section will extend its
erosion prevention work beyond the,
projects in which it is cooperating
with the Soil Erosion Service Erosion
preventing or soil-improving crops are
recommended by the section for all
land taken out Of production and it
plans to supply farmers with full in
formation on crops for these purpose.
The work done by the Soil Erosion
Service on the 10 projects will be much
more intensive, however, than that done
elsewhere Mr.. Cox said.
The Replacement Crops Section seeks
uniformly To have land taken out of
crop production used for crops which
will prevent erosion, improve the soil.

way as not to produce commodities for

ton campaign, where many growers
raise cotton only, has the contracted
land been allowed to raise food or feed
products for home consumption only.
and this exception was allowed only
because serious social difficulties would
arise If some such action had not been
taken, Mr.. Cox said.

A national experiment in land use,
devoted to studying the prevention OF
soil erosion, and providing for removal
from cultivation Of Submarginal land
instead of the average land required in
the crop reduction programs, is being
undertaken comparatively by the Re-
placement Crops Section of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration and
the Soil Erosion Service of the Depart
ment Of the Interior. The experiment
was authorized upon the recommended
ton Of Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
and Secretary Of Interior Ickes. 1t will
cover 100000 acres of land in 10 dif-
ferent regions.
Under the cooperative program, in
those areas where projects Of the Soil
Erosion Service are located, farmers who
reduce acreage under crop reduction
programs Of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, may substitute
acres of submarginal land for the aver
age land that would be taken out OF
production under the terms OF their
contracts. They must substitute enough
such submarginal land to equal the
productivity of the average land which
would be removed from production
under their contracts.
Ratio Is Two to One.
Under such an arrangement, for in
stance, a farmer whose contract would
require him to remove five acres OF
average land from production would
have the privilege OF removing instead
10 acres of submarginal land which was
half as productive as his average land.
The Soil Erosion Service, of which
H. H. Bennett is director, has chosen
tentative locations for 10 erosion pre-
vention projects. Each project includes
about 200, 900 acres and covers an entire
watershed. On these projects the Soil
Erosion Service will use every feasible
method TO prevent soil erosion and to
demonstrate those uses OF the land
which best prevent erosion. Idle land
that will exist in these areas as a result
of the crop reduction programs OF the
Agricultural Adjustment AdminiStra-
ton provides excellent demonstration
areas on which the farmers wish to CO.
operate, Mr.. Bennett said. Farmers
who substitute submarginal land for
average land under their contracts will
be asked to use methods recommended
by the Soil Erosion Service to prevent
erosion Of their land

Today's illustration shows several
conservative modern pieces, any one
of which would make an acceptable
Christmas gift. They are grouped. here,
in a modern sun room with pale gray
walls. Sheet copper panels between the
windows are practical, decorative and
unusual innovation.
Against one wall there is a set OF
open bookshelves with drop doors in the
lower sections to conceal papers and
miscellaneous objects. A white pottery
cat, done in the modern manner, is
the sole ornament atop the bookshelveS
and in the space above there is a
modern painting in a fat. white frame.
Striped Upholstery Used.
One of the armchairs, deep seated
and comfortable, is done in a heavy
modern fabric in stripes of varying
widths. shading from beige through
burnt orange to deep brown. The other
chair, with a great matching ottoman
which converts it into chalse Tongue.
is upholstered in a suedelike material
in a rich copper tone.
Between the two chairs is a large
round table of a comfortably con-
venient height. The top of the table
has a waterproofed finish which is i'm
pervious to the effects of drinking
glasses. A handsome lamp is made of
beaten copper and there is a plain
white parchment shale. The modern
fruit container is made of wood and
copper with glass ball feet. On the
floor there is deep pile rug in two
tones Of gray and brown.

Provides Particination.

THE idea back of such local activity
would be to secure from each property
holder a quit claim deed or other evi-
dence Of willingness to dispose, and to
furnish each with suitable receipt or
tentative certificate of ownership or
participation in the project.
"A feature of such program, when
nationalized, would be the element of
competition as to evidencing patriotism
through willingness to participate in the
results sure to accrue to the particular
city as well as to the United States.
Another feature would be the induce
ment to property owners to name the
lowest consistently reasonable value on
their property because the final awards
in the national competition, resulting
in the most improvement to the cities
selected and hence the greatest oppor-
tunity for increased returns. would be
based on the accumulation of the most
property for the least overhead cost and
the most favorable offer of participa-
ton by the city"

Methods for estimating the area in
fields of various shapes are explained
IN a new circular on How to Calculate
Field Areas" which has been issued by
the University of Maryland Extension

This circular, which was prepared by
Ray w. Carpenter and C. E. Wise, jr.,

O. In making a loan from the Home

to include sufficient money to remodel
my home?-A. F. E.
A. No. The corporation may finance
only such repairs as are necessary to
safeguard the security of the loan. This
may include repairs to the exterior of
the property only, and in some isolated
instances, plumbing and heating, if they
are in such condition as to make the
property uninhabitable. Loans cannot
include advances for additions to the

Cracks In Plaster.

@ How can I fill cracks in a plaster
wall before painting?-A. M. j.
A. Using knife, cut into the cracks
to widen them and remove all loose
particles. In cutting, make the space
wider at the bottom than on the sur
face, so that the new plaster will be
locked into place. Procure some patch
ing plaster at hardware store and
fill the cracks When the plaster is
thoroughly dry, sand it smooth and
size the patches with two coats of
orange shellac before painting.
