SOIL PROGRAM MODIFIED
TO REACH MORE FARMERS

The soil-improvement program
has been made more flexible so that
a greater number of farmers will be
able to qualify for payments
Originally, the program specified
that a farmer must have an acreage
off soil-improvement crops equal
to at least 20 per cent of his base
acreage of cotton, tobacco, or pea
nuts and at least IS per cent of his
base acreage of other soil-depleting
crops.
Under a new ruling said Dean
l.. O.. Schaub of State College,
growers who fail to meet the orr
ginal minimum requirements can
still qualify for partial payments.
For each acre by which they fail
to meet the minimum requirements.
a deduction will be made in their
payment equal to one and a half
times the rate of the soil-conserving
payment on crops other than cot
ton, tobacco, and peanuts.
In North Carolina, the soil-con-
serving payment, for taking land
out of soil-depleting crops and put
ting it into soil-conserving crops,
will probably be around $40 an
acre, except in the case of cotton,
tobacco, and peanuts.
On cotton and tobacco the rate

Smart Trimmings
Give Test To The
New Spring Suit.

Smart accessories give new life to
dresses and suits carried over from
last year, said Miss Willie N. Hun
ter, extension clothing specialist a,
State College.
Collors, ties, jabots, and scarfs-
either tailored or fussy and frilly-
add a piquant touch to the '"slight-
ly tired dress" They may be made
of silk, satin, or pique.
Gloves give a zip to tailored cost
umes, she stated. They may be hand
crocheted or of soft washable
feathers, or fabrics in bright colors
that accent the wardrobe.
"Then there are clips and bout
onnieres of bright spring flowers.
Flowers for the lapel, flowers for
the hat, more flowers than you ever
saw BEFORE" she pointed out.
Big natural-looking punches Of
violets, huge carnations in white,
red, or navy blue seem to be fav-
critics. Miniature fruits, cherries,
blackberries, oranges, carrots, apples
and wen pea pods, are to be found
in the shops"
Handkerchief show splashes of
color to match the color accent of
the wardrobe. Bags may be Of
leather, but they can be made of
suede or fiori to correspond with
the suit, coat, scarf, hat or gloves.
A new blouse is a good stimulant
for an old suit hat still has lots of
wear, ut isn't quite as fresh as it
used to be. Blouses are made from
numerous materials in cottons,
linens, and silk. They may be
white, pastel shades dark ~colors, or
in prints.
To make smart color combina-
tons in a spring costume, be sure
the color of every item corresponds
to one or two other items. Never
use more than two items of bright
color.

Reccommd Red
Polled Cows For
Small Farms

Red Polled cattle are a dual pur-
pose breed and as such they have
not gained as wide popularity in the
United States as the strictly beef
and dairy breeds.
AS the name indicates, this breed
is red in color and the cattle have
polled or hornless heads, say live
stock authorities at State College.
They rank high as milk produc-
ers, it was stated, and herds which
have been selected and bred for
milk production have made exceed
ingly good records for both milk
and butterfat production.
Although they are not up to the
standard of the strictly beef herds,
authorities say, they have a place
on the small farm where they pro-
duce enough milk for the family
use and at the same time produce
steers for market that are superior
to regular dairy cattle as beef ami
mails.
In general, Red Polled cattle are
medium in size. Both the head and
neck are longer and leaner than are
desired in strictly beef type cattle.
Although the body has not as
much flesh covering as the strict
ly beef breed animal, it is well rib
bed and the hooks are smooth.
The hind quarters lack the thick
ness and depth of the beef breeds,
yet they are superior to those on
cattle of the strictly dairy breeds.
Livestock men point out that the
lack of fat covering on Red Polled
cattle is not a serious handicap,
for consumers do not like large
quantities of fat on their meat.

is five cents a pound on the average
production of the land taken out
of these crops, and on peanuts the
rate is l IA cents a pound.
Another ruling provides that
acreage planted to winter cover
crops and green manure crops after
it has been in vegetable crops will
be classified as soil-conserving if it
is turned under as green manure be-
tween January 1 and October l,
1886.
However, the cover and manure
crops must have been growing at
least two months before being turn
ed under.

We lever thought of the cadets
at West Point as being particularly
fond of poetry. However, about a
hundred years ago they very def
nitely were. In March of 1881, one
of the cadets was expelled for alb
senting himself from roll call. He
came to New York and published
a book of poems dedicated to the
corps. Most of the West Pointers
purchased copies. The author was
only p at the time, but this was
his third published book. His
name was Edgar Allan Poe.
New pure silk yarns have been
developed for both handmade and
machine knit costumes. They are
easy to work with, wash like
lingerie, and will not stretch, sag or
snag, and are dressy enough for
afternoon and bridge wear. These
Celestial Silk yarns come in a wide
range of c%olors, both dark and
pastels.
Household Hint: To clean suede
gloves, put them on the hands and
rub them will with fine oatmeal,
which should finally be brushed off
with a of nail-brush. Any obsti-
nate stains may be removed with
benzine applied with a piece of clean
flannel.

a SUPERBLY human note was

City rendered by combined Ameri-
can Industry to Rear Admiral Rich
ard e. Byrd-"in acknowledgment
Of his invaluable contributions to
science and to pay tribute to those
qualities Of heart and spirit that
make him universally admired and
an inspiration to his countrymen."
During the course Of the dinner at
which the Admiral spoke briefly, for
the first time, Of the appalling ex.
periences Of his lonely vigil In the
shadow of the South Pole, he was
presented with four and one-half
inch gold medallion symbolizing
American Industry's tribute to his
heroic exploit.
The face of the medallion depicts
the Admiral seated at the radio in
his tiny advance weather station
tapping out "All's Well'' to Little
America, while the reverse side
bears the following inscription:

Due to q combination Of unforeseen
circumstances 1t became his duty
as he saw It, to keep. alone, six
month vigil for meteorological
observation at the worlds south
ernmost outpost. Before the mid
die Of the long Antarctic night he
was stricken desperately Ill from
the poisonous fumes Of faulty
oil stove. Survival seemed impos-
sible. He deliberately chose to die
rather than tap out an SOS. on
his radio. In fact, he further
squandered his strength and les
sened his chance for survival by
painfully hand-cranking his radio
to keep his schedule and report
"All's Well to Little America,
lest his silence cause his COM
rades to risk their lives coming
to his rescue in the darkness. For
months of the bitterest cold ever
endured he hung precariously on
the edge of the abyss. Untold suf-
fering did not compel him to alter
his decision. By a miracle he was
spared.
