New PfOyect In Full swing.
Our federal book mending project
is going strong. We have three full
time and four part time workers as
signed to this project now. They all
have had special training. The books
at Rock Creek, Kerrick, Friesland
and Sturgeon Lake have been COM
pleted. Books to be mended are be-
ing brought to central points. About
half of the rural schools are taking
advantage of this service.
Miss Grace Wood and Mrs. Yokum
of Sandstone, and Mrs. Avery Of
Brook Park, are the full time people
assigned to this project. Under the
NYA program we are also glad to
have the help of Miss Magdalena
Olander of Hinckley, Miss Henrietta

Whiting of Willow River. We ex-
pect and hope that the Brainerd Of

THE TR4TTORIOUs TOSHTO

Harry Thomas Thompson, 2S-year-
old Maryland farm boy, has been SEN
fenced to Is years imprisonment for
revealing to the japanese, odds and ends
of our Navy secrets. He is deservedly
despised by everyone and is reaping his
punishment as prescribed by law.
There is one other, however, who APP
pears Just as much of an migrate as
Thompson. That is Toshio Miyazaki,
Japanese representative who arranged
for the espionage. All nations have their
spies and this country doubtless has its
spies throughout the world. But the case
of Mivazaki. is different from the rank
and file. in that he obtained his knowl-
edge of English while an exchange stu
dent at Stanford University.
The purpose of exchange students is
to stimulate and further friendly rela-
tions between nations, to engender un-
derstanding instead of animosity, to ac-
quaint the youth of both countries in
the hopes that international argument
may be settled amicably.
But Japan saw fit to "cash in on
this high moral purpose, and Miyazah
saw fit to double-cross the hand which
opened to him the door of hospitality.
This certainly does not produce friend
ship for the japanese. And everyone will
agree that Miyazaki would fifty adorn
ropes end.
If there must be spying. Japan will
cut its own throat if it mingles War-
time strategy with peace time efforts.

Anyroay The Soil Is Safe :. Help
needed For Wise Farmers The
Others Get The Breaks

WAsHNGTON-Both major political par
ties are pledged to big soil conservation pro-
grams So there will be such program in any
event.
What remains is for someone to come along
with a scheme which won't have the somewhat
startling result Of substituting farmers who have
misused their land while penalizing those who
have used wise methods Of soil conservation.
There has been some subdued grumbng
about this but it appears that the farmers who
have depleted their soil values are SO much
more numerous than the others that the pro-
test won't be very serious.
Here is the way it works out under the
Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act:
The farmer who takes out Is per cent of
his acreage which last season was devoted to
soil-depleting crops and puts that acreage into
soil-conserving crops is paid an average of $40
an acre
You can take for an example two farmers
each owning 100 acres of land. One of them has
always put his entire acreage into soil-deplet-
ing crop. refusing to build up land for the fu-
ture and contributing annually to big wheat
surplus in order to sell all the wheat he could
The other has used his imagination for the
future and kept so per cent OF his land in con-
serving crops. such as alfalfa, willing to sacrl-
flee some present income to help the fight
against soil erosion on his own and other fields.
The anti-social farmer who has kept his
income up at the expense of general welfare is
now to be rewarded, while the socially minded
farmer who sacrificed immediate income Is to
get very lean pickings. The former gets $40 an
acre on Is of his acres, or $50 The latter gets
$40 an acre On Is per cent of his soil-depleting
acreage-7ia acres-or SIS
Both farmers also get a dollar an acre
theoretical general average, for all land in
soil-conserving crops, meaning SIS for the farm
er who has refused previously TO farm scien-
tifically and $3.50 for the other man. That's
a total Of s165 in benefits for the first man and
sl3250 for the second.
But the big difference is that, if the second
man is to participate in the program and get
Ia raiEa n coll onlzy hall
much wheat as the other fellow. The anti-so-
cial farmer profits most. first by his past per-
formances. second in amount Of subsidy received
and finally because he is permitted to grow
twice the crop of his neighbor.
The farmer who believed the eloquence of
the conservationists in past years now is left
holding the bag. But, as one AAA official
remarked in conference We are after results
and not JUSTICE
Proposals that subsidy payments be made
to farmers who already have certain percent
ages of acreage in conserving crops have made
no headWay.
