New Soil Conservation
Program
County Agent Will Explain
Act-WiIl Benefit Those
Engaged In Farming

Arrangements are being made to
provide farmers of Cecil County with
definite information regarding the
new Soil Conservation program, and
it's application to their particular
farms, according to j. q. Miller
County Agent. 1t will be the aim,
he states, to provide aid for all
farmers who desire to make out the
necessary work sheets and in plan
ming their individual farming opera
lions so as to conserve and build
their soil and qualify for grants un-
der the new Act.
Although no farmer is under obli-
cation to fill out work sheet or to
operate his farm in line with the
conservation program, Mr.. Miller
states that he may have the advant-
age Of learning how farming opera
lions could be adjusted to qualify
for the payments to be made in re-
turn for carrying out the program.
He emphasizes that farmer must
fill out a work sheet if he is to be
eligible to apply for grant.
The program is designed to benefit
all persons engaged in farming, it is
asserted, and the Government is
sharing with farmers the expense of
improving the fertility of their
farms. The way in which an indi-
vidual farmer can contribute to the
program is by familiarizing himself
with the conditions and by engaging
in a soil-building program on the
land which he, himself, farms.
Committees are being formed to
assist in acquainting the farmers of
the county with the provisions and
details of the Soil Conservation pro-
gram. AS soon as complete details
regarding amounts of payments have
been worked out by the Department,
county meetings will be scheduled.

have to look closely into the antecedents or YOU
may, for instance, think you getting a lad of
sound constitution only to discover that he suffers
from chronic imitation.
They have found that very thing in the case

Borah And it's causing no end of CONSERVATION.
nHIOS problem would be simple if she had

any question But having none such cautious gen.
tlemen as Walter F. Brown national committeeman
and Mr. HooverS former Postmaster General and
Ed Schorr, the bewdered state chairman don't
know what to do They had planned to send an
uninstructed delegation to the Republican national
convention, delegation which they could carry in
the vest pocket and which they could hand over to
the man who. in every of the term, seemed
to be the most promising candidate.
DUT when Senator Borah parked himself on Ohios
~ doorstep that changed the situation so far as
the od-lne leaders are concerned. Mr.. Borah might
be promising candidate in one sense of the term
but not in another Now the old-line leaders have to
make decision. They must decide whether to try
to beat Senator Borah with nobody-that is con-
tlnue to work for an unnstructed delegation or one
TECHNICALLY pledged to dummy. Or else they must
gang up behind some other candidate for adoption
meaning Col. Frank Knox of Illinois. They will
meet in Columbus Tuesday to talk over these alter
natives.
Knox and gang up behind him to beat Mr. Borah
Others are advising against that. Some are trying
TO get Gov Landon to come in. But he is so popular
in Ohio that his friends outside of Ohio are urging
him TO stay out and let Mr.. Borah and Col. Knox
slash at each others Threats while he goes after Sec
ond-choice pledges in both ranks. That is econom-
lcal politics and good politics. Gov. Jandon be-
ing good at BOTH is likely to follow that course
GENATOR BORAH has considerable strength in
~ Ohio, particularly in Cleveland, which went for
the rebel La Toilette in 1924 and for Smith in 1928
when he was still something of a rebel Senator
Borahs greatest handicap here is the colored vote
which casts about one-thrd of the Republican pri-
mary vote in Cleveland. They are fighting mad be-
cause he opposed the Wagner Costgan anti-ynching
bill.
Mr. Borah wavered so long before deciding to
come into the Ohio primary that of his principal
leaders became critically impatient Otherwise he is
sitting pretty, at the moment. But Col Knox is busy
lining up organization and newspaper support If
in addition Col Knox gets the od-ne organization
behind him, Senator 5orah will have to come out
here and do some active running

gion and the highways leading to Garmisch were
'purged" to familiar word.
Honest reporters will have to admit that nothing
meets the eye which concerns the cry of per-
Secution.
However, I'm assured that this is a false picture
and that the rest of the country is pacarded be-
fore, and that when the games the anti
Semitic program will be resumed hereabouts, all of
which sounds credible and consistent.

VX7ASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The
w Post Office Department is
encountering secret international
opposition to its plans for extend
ing the Trans-Pacific airmail
service to the Chinese mainland.
So far it has only been able to
obtain landing rights on the
Portuguese island of Macao, about
70 miles from Hongkong. L. Two
big items in the estate left by the
late Huey Long were a $4,000
life insurance policy, and a share
in $4,000 of legal fees he earned
as special counsel for Louisiana
in tax collecting cases. Despite
the severity of the weather, jan
uary had its bright spots-for
stockholders. Dividend declara-
tons were the highest for the
month since 1881. Continued
postponement of the Supreme
Courts Tennessee Valley Au-
thority decision has given rise to
wide variety of conjectures. The
latest is that there will be three
opinions: One holding the entire
act unconstitutional, another
holding all of it constitutional,
and a third-reputedly Hughes
and Roberts-ruling only the sale
of electric power invalid. The
Social Security BOARD is DrOCeed-
ing with great wariness in en-
forcing the unemployment insur-
ance provisions of its act. Reason
is that the board wants to stave
off as long as possible a court test
of this feature of the law.

supplemental relief of clothing for
his children the WPA worker
must depend wholly on his $50
salary to pay food, shelter, and
fuel regardless of the size of his
family.
The man with eight children re-
ceives the same WPA wage as the
man with four.
The direct relief family head
receives aid depending on the
number of children who crowd to
his table for provender, but this
aid does not exceed a $28 average
in commodities and housing
monthly for the entire state.
Cases of single person on the re-
lief rolls cut their average to
$14.54 a case.
Cut in administration costs for
the combined general relief pro-
gram of work relief and direct
relief has been evident since jan
uary, 1885. Administration costs
averaged 6.8 per cent in January,
1885, under FERA and direct re-
lief. This figure is r5Crced to an
estimated 46 per CENT for jan
uary, 1886, under combined WPA
and direct relief control.
TINE average cost of admins
Il tration of direct and WPA
work relief over the last six
months is 64 per cent. Non-re-
lief workers, although charge
against administrative costs, are
included as a part Of the projects
under WPA. The workers are in
the main of the white-collar or
semi-skilled class.
Nor does the survey show that
Indiana is a "boondoggling" state
in the type of its 1888 WPA prof.
ects, for 81 per cent Of the con-
struction work and projects can
be divided into four types that
hire the common laborer rather
than the white-collared worker.
These are: Roads and streets;
public buildings, parks and play
grounds, and water systems, drain
age, sewage, conservation and flood
control.
The average for the nation is
80 per cent against Indiana's 81
per cent in projects for employing
unskilled labor.
Projects, some with "boondoog-
ling" elements, represent only 1876
per cent of the S40,000,000 in ap-
proved projects. They employ pro-
fessional workers, clerical aid,
artists and women.
The construction types of prof.
ectS total $37,337, 900, and Mr..
Coy says the projects or units of
the projects will be completed by
July l with additional projects
in readiness should VPA be con-
tinued after that.

Take, for example, the month of
December, 1884, with 479, TAO per-
sons dependent on work or direct
relief and the average of 1913 per
cent of the population on relief is
near the 1916 percentage of the
population on relief today in In
diana, when 475,000 persons de-
pend on either WPA checks or
grocery orders for an existence.
The money flow in January,
1885, against the same flow in
January of this year is gagged
when records of the Governors
Unemployment Relief Commission
reveal that $3,704,0 900 was spent for
work and direct relief last Janu-
airy on 492,197 persons, while
$5,550,000 is the estimated amount
spent for 475,000 persons in Janu-
airy, 1886.
Wayne Coy, WPA administrator
for Indiana, estimates that 20 per
cent of the SIS, 550000 or $1,110,O00
was provided in January by state
taxpayers and sponsors of WPA
projects. Direct reliefs part of
January's relief load was 100000,
estimated. WPA assumed $780,
900 OF this cost through jobs to
the unemployed, thereby reducing
the direct load.

families of WPA workers average
AZ persons to a fireside while the
direct relief family, because fam
lily heads are chosen for work re-
lief and single persons are left on
direct relief rolls, averaged 1925
persons to the family.
The rise in the wage relief paid
to state workers in the period of a
year and a comparison showing
the wages paid under the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration
when it functioned in giving work
aid in January, 1885, shows that
one year ago the average wage
paid by FERA was 1898 a month
against a WPA wage average of
$50 as estimated for February.
A COMPARISON of January,

shows 492,127 persons dependent
on work or direct relief against
