How Plan Would Work

The gist of the Idea is to pay farmers for replacing certain crops or portions of crops with hay and other soil.improving crops. A large surplus not only ruins prices, but also damages the land, If the crop is cultivated intensively and there is no alteration. Scientific farming on Q nation- al scale would eliminate surpluses and preserve the soil for future generations.
 Fiat acerage cuts of equal per- centage for all growers are over. Planning would be regional as well as national.
 AAA would say to . farmer \ that, according to principles Of good farm management and soil conservation, he should have his
 soil or . stipulated part of lt next year not in . cash crop such as tobacco, corn, or wheat but In clover, grass, soya beans, or perhaps In pasture. If his land were badly gullled, perhaps even in trees.
 But inasmuch as the farmer couldn't afford to forego his cash crop otherwise, he would be coni- pensated at 50 much an acre foi his shift.
 Each farmer might be asked tc draw up a production schedule with payment conditional on that and eventually such schedules would all be added up to fit into proposed national production sched- ules.

 Some advocates of the plan cyni- cally admit they consider "consti- tutionality" Q nebulous term, sonne- thing determined merely by the economic views of one or two 1us- tices on the highest bench, and that 1t probably would take Q couple ofe years to get decision.

 Preponderance of opinion among agricultural scientists, however, seems to be that planned agricul- ture on the basis of what AAA has in mind will be the greatest con- tribution to farmers and to the general welfare which has ever been seriously proposed.

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Being human, mothers are subject to change of humor from day 70 day, So are fathers. But when the pair are absolutely unpredictable as to mood, it makes it pretty hard for the youngsters.
 The east wind affects disposi- tions radically. Maybe 1t isn't | just the wind, but air pressure. On heavy days some people are depressed, others cranky. Still others are as mean as Old Nick himself.
 People who go on and on ct an even keel are uninteresting and dull. Those who fly off at tangent sometimes can be the most human and sympathetic of the species. So no one is preaching sameness, just for saHneness' sake. AS Q friend of mine said one time of a smooth tempered woman, "Xes, she is all placent to attract me-"
 think that children enjoy the many-faceted parent as long as he, or she stays reasonably put. The parent children lose confi- dence in is the one who appar- ently gets Q thrill out of being unreasonable.
 Late Hours Fray Uerves
 Late hours and a continuous succession of parties work havoc with dispositions. I know one woman who is constantly in the clouds or in the depths. Either she Is contemplating 6 party or get- ting over one. In the afternoons she would hand any child of hers the earth if he asked for 1t. Next morning she won't let anyone say "boo",
 Her whole existence depends on social success and the fortunes of her family rise and fall according to this barometer. She sets too much store by cuts, or imagined cuts. She is falsely stimulated by fiattery. Naturally, her reactions to the family have little to do with the children themselves, but are warmed.overs from her hectic so- cial life.
 know . business woman who | is like this, too. She Is exhilirated, depressed or nervously tired about half the time. She is working for the benefit of her family, but, at the same time, they would rather do without some of their blessings if they could have the hood mother she used to be.
 However, 1t is not always the mother with interests outside the home who indulges in hot-and- cold orgies of dispositions. Or the father who is worried to death about money. Many people lack emotional control from no cause ct all. Neither weather, health, pleasure or business can be blamed.
 For inctance, c woman can ease fly let e by-gone sorrow affect her whole personality. Unless she wakes up to the fact that others suffer indirectly from her spells of depression, she can undermine love and patience. Others let trifles upset them. An argument with the butcher sours the day, for in- stance. Everyone "catches 1t" until the rage wears thin. Humiliation, or any like unpleasantness, reacts for days sometimes. And, on the contrary, pleasurable excitement may damage Q regular set-up rou- tine that 1t has taken months to establish. ai.e
 seif-control can be cultivated. It is an important asset to the parent and to family happiness. We can't Do perfect, but we can at least try.
