from work OF the farm are not enough TO

Many city people who lived On farms IN
their childhood are inquiring about subsis-
tence or "self-sufhcing" farming on 40 10 100
acres or more. The department says that
many farms that are apparently suitable for
such purpose are now for sale at relatively
low prices, but that many serious problems are
involved In this kind Of farming. With re-
gard to acquiring cheap land for general
farming, 1t Is stated that 'tin many areas this
cheap land is extremely poor and has failed
to yield q reasonable living under any kind
OF farming. For this reason extreme care
must be exercised in selecting so-called cheap
farm"
The department says that enough vegetables
and small fruits can be raised on one-hah to
three-quarters Of an acre Of good land TO
furnish a family of five with all they want
during the Summer and with plenty for canned,
stored and dried products for the Winter"
but that "these small fruits and vegetables,
together with a small poultry flock and q few
fruit trees are all that can be cared for prop
erly by the ordinary family without o horse
or garden tractor, If the man Is chiefly en-
ployed In some other Job during the growing

Subsistence Farm Problems Mauv

THE proposed establishment Of so-called sub
sistence farms has burdened the Depart
ment of Agriculture with all sorts Of questions
concerning the amount Of land required for
families Of various size, what should be raised
and what kind Of animals should be kept.
To provide the requested information the De-
partment has issued bulletin on the subject.
Gardening and poultry raising ON q small
piece Of land Is about all an employed man and
his family can care for by hand" says the bul.
lettn. About one acre Of good land Is enough
for such purposes, and II the family wants to
keep cow and plans to buy the necessary VIM
ter feed, two acres of good pasture land, In ad.
dition, should be enough, and the extra work
win not be excessive.
'Men employed only part time or short hours
and who have large families and small incomes
may find 1t economical to keep o milk COW, or
milk goats and some pigs and raise the neces-
sary feed In addition to having o garden and
keeping poultry. This plan means the use Of
horse or mechanical power and should be tried
only after experience and careful consideration.
The departments publication ts intended pri-
marily for use by persons who are planning to
engage in part-time farming as a means of sup
plying the family with garden foods; it does not
deal with many Of the problems Of the organ
Lied subsistence homestead projects Of the De-
partment OF the Interior. The department
points out also that although many families
with small incomes can lower their living costs
by living on Q small piece Of land and growing
their own food part-time farming has certain
problems that are somewhat different from the
usual farming problems. Those who are mex
perienced often overestimate the savings made
possible by this way OF living, and they often
underestimate the costs in the way Of the

PRO TENNIS IS
 A HARD LIFE''

Pasadena, Cal. (UP).-Back in his home town after his first sea- son as a professional, Ellsworth Vines declared playing pro tennis Is a hard life."
 Professional tennis is much harder than the amateur game because one has to play almost every night and in different towns on unfamiliar courts," the former national champion said.
 When asked If amateur tennis did not have certain advantages over the professional game, he replied, None, after looking at my bank book"
 The lanky Grown City youth, pleased with the financial returns of his several months with the "Tilden Tours" refused to reveal how much he has earned. How ever, i;~ has been reported to have made $45,000 thus far from the Cash and Carry" tournaments.
 Vines denied that professional tennis is hitting the downgrade now because the novelty of the sport has worn off. He pointed out

Lott opened the first set, by holding service with three aces. He also held his service, thanks to two brilliant middle court drives by Hughes. The English broke Stoefen in the third game, scoring three perfect Jobs. The Americans broke Hughes in the fourth on pair of stunning placements from Stoefen. The next four games fol- lowed service in play featured by Bristling exchanges at the net. The score in games was then 4-all.
 Lee used a tricky, underhand service which baffled the Amer jeans, in winning the tenth game to make the set stand at 5-alf. Stoe- fen fired three blistering services to win the eleventh game and Lott made three beautiful volleys to break Hughes in the twelfth game for the 7-5 win.
 Having spotted England two matches, Americas Davis Cup brigade went into action again to- day with the odds overwhelming ly against them-an old, familiar feeling.
 George Lott, premier doubles player of the world, and his mate, Lester Rollo Stoefen of Los Ang- eles, tackle a revised British ta1- rem, H. G. N. Lee and Pat Hughes, in a match that will almost certain ly go to the United States.

 But only by the most startling of tennis miracles can Shields, who was as drab a performer Satur- day as this historic turf has seen in many a Davis Cup match, hope to raise his game to a level with that of Fred Perry, ranking Eng lishman, and regarded as the Worlds No. amateur.
 Granting America its doubles win today, the United States will have to register two more wins Tues day to recapture the mug they lost in 1927. w
 That means Sidney Wood wilf have to beat Austin, which he sllould do, and Shields will have to beat Perry, which in all probability heN will not do.
