WASHINGTON, May Id.
Once upon a time,
when anything the New
Deal did was greeted with
loud huzzahs and every one
thought it was a grand idea
to spend a few millions on
practically any experiment,
the Federal government
went in for what it called
subsistence homesteads.
Today most of the fire directed
at the Resettlement Administra-
ton results from those expert
ments which year ago were
dumped into the lap of RIA and
Administrator Rexford G. Tug
welt.
Resettlement's own program of
rural resettlement communities is
nearly all still in the planning
stage. But Dr. Tugwell still is
serving as goat for the Admins
tration's sins in addition to hav-
ing had the job of untangling a
hundred or more of those ventures
IN humanitarianism, which came
to him in all stages of progress
and frequently in a state of flop.
Among the original ideas about
subsistence homesteadS were:
l. That you could solve peoples
problems and make them SELF
supporting by getting them back
on the land.
2. That you could do it by Civ
ing them houses.
3. Or both.
4. That if you built commune
ties and put people in them. in
dustry would gravitate there to
provide part-time employment for
those people to supplement income
or subsistence from the land.
TWO general types of home
i stead were planned. First.
communities where penniless
farmers and stranded families in
former industrial communities
could have homes, land, and farm
ing facilities on a 30-year pay
ment plan plus cash income from
part-time industrial employment.
Second, garden homesteads on
the frilges of industrial com,nun-
tiles where workers could have de-
cent low-cost housing with an
acre or two of land on which to
raise their own food and thus sup
plement incomes.
Most of the second type have
turned out fairly well, despite de-
lays. red tape, occasional construc-
ton mistakes, and other mishaps.
The grief came where there were
no industries to provide employ
ment, and industries didn't move
in.
DR.. Tugwell now seeks to change
what were to be Observation-Disclosures
trial communities into purely agri-
cultural communities by buying
more land and establishing CO.
operatives, providing an adequate
base for successful farming in
stead of the present acreages,
which can not make homestead
families self-sustaining.
Many cooks made the subsist-
ence homesteads broth, begin
ming with Mrs. Roosevelt and the
late Louis Howe. Sometimes the
houses didn't fit the climate. as
with the first ones at Reedsville,
Va. Other houses were poorly con-
Structed. In at least couple of
instances slickers unloaded worth
less land on the government.

STOCK INFESTATION LIGHT HERE
AYERS SCREW WORM ERADICATOR

InfestationS of screw worm are
light in Imperial Valley at present
but considerable trouble from the
pest is anticipated in the fall, ac-
cording to H M. Brundett, federal
department of agriculture agent
who is cooperating with state agen-
cies in controlling the screwworm.
He is working out o. the office OF
B. A. Harrigan, county agricultural
commissioner.
Brundrett declared screwworm is
doing considerable damage in the
mountain valleys OF Imperial ano
San Diego counties and valley
stockmen should cooperate in the
combat program to hold the ia
festations in check.
Screw worm control depends a
great deal upon a proper under
standing of how screw worm flies
develop.
The true screw worm lives only
upon the healthy flesh Of animals.
1t is the young of certain kind
of fly, and is called the true screw
worm because it is the harmful
parasitic species. 1t is usually the
first to lay its eggs on the broken
skin of an animal This injury
may be a cut. scratch, tick bite, or
wound Of any kind.
The true screw worm fly breeds
only in living animals. Brundrett
recently gave a few facts about the
life history of the screw worm fly.

Il Firm Believer in Cooperation
1t was inevitable that man like A. j. McFadden should
be vtaly interested in the modern chain store system of
distribution in relation to farmers Here what he told
your Farm Reporter:
Il feel it is immensely important that growers organiza
tons have full cooperation from such institutions as
Safeway stores.
"And those of who have spent years working for
operation in agriculture recognize with satisfaction that
we are now getting increased assistance from the chains
particularly from Safeway.
"The chains have based their whole program policy
of reducing distribution costscuttng down the spread
between producer and consumerand thus encouraging
larger consumption of farm products.
"And today the chains serving the producer even
directly. They studying his problems and skill

their eagerness to climb TO power
over the bomb shattered bodies OF
present leaders.
AS the trial resumed today, the
audience of 200 in the little court
room in the former Mobiles club had
before them a confused picture OF
a group of conspirators all eager to
kill the leaders. and each visualizing
himself as the chief villain of the
piece.
But V. P. olberg was accorded
first honors.
Where others said they thought
of killing Josef Stain and others by
means Of a pistol shot or a casual
bomb, Olberg said quietly that his
idea was to introduce a bomb squad
into a May day parade. have its
student members throw five bombs
into the leaders and thus-as the
startled audience visualized it-poS-
sibly wipe out the entire central
executive of the country.
Olberg said he drew up the plan
and distributed copies of it, detailed
a chemist of the Cork Institute to
make the bombs, and selected stu
dents Of the institute as bomberS.
The students would have joined
in the gay parade and, apparently,
thrown their bombs into the leaders
