Ingram in Fine Fettle.

INGRAM, however, has a plan
which he believes will enable him
to start connecting from the out
set. He will warm up with four rounds
of shadow boxing in the dressing
room. feeling this will aid in tuning
his mauling machinery by the time
he steps in the ring.
A quick thinker, fast and we'll
conditioned Ingram nevertheless finds
himself on the short end of 7-5 ODDS
mainly because of a misleading COM
pariSon of their respective bouts with
Doug Swetnam. Ingram disposed OF
Doug by decision, but Nick chopped
him up and knocked him out in the
seventh round and it is on this bout
that the gambling gentry swings to-
ward Camarata.
The 21-year-old Ingram strictly is
a boxer, While Camarata carries a
Knockout punch. The contrast is ex-
pected to draw one of the largest
crowds of the season to the caulitioWer
crucible to witness the third meeting
between the lads. Ingram captured
the first encounter, while Camarata
took the second, both of which were
staged in Richmond.
Ingram. striving for his ninth con-
secutive victory, recently has whipped
joey Wach, Christobal Jaramillo and
Johnny De Foe, while Camarata's S
draw with Petey Sarron, world feath-
erWeight champion, seven months ago
Is the high spot in his career.

Books.

A new supply of books has re-
Gently been added to our library.
Some of these books are: Middle
town" by Robert S. and Helen NJ
Lynd, dealing with American cul-
ture and social background. Another
book is Henry Georges Progress and
Poverty" advocating the single land
tax theory. Other interesting and
educational books are Lincoln Stef-
fens' Autobiography" and a book
concerning the IVA, written by
Odette Keun
Another of these books is my
Battle" by Adolf Hitler. This auto
biography shows us how Hitler's home
life and education framed his belief
in a militaristic government. The
book was written while he was in
prison.
can American Doctors Odyssey
was written by Victor Heiser, who
has circumnavigated the world 16
times. He writes of the living condi-
tons of people in As countries Much
of this book deals with people in
the Far East, particularly the Philip
pines and how they conquered such
diseases as cholera, the black plague
and leprosy.
Several new books of science are
also of great interest to the Students
such as "Vitamins" by L. j. Harris,
and "Heredity and the Ascent OF
Man" by c. c. Hurst.

A Change is Made.


Under the previous program, sep
arate rates were established for the
diversion of soil-conserving crops,
and for the carrying out of each soil
building practice. Under this plan,
producer calculated his payment
at the end of the crop year by apply
ing these separate rates to each acre
diverted and to each practice per-
formed. In 1888, however, the max
imum payment for each producer will
be calculated at the beginning of the
crop year, and the attainment of the
soil-depleting and soil-building goals
will be set as conditions for full pay
ment Each producer will know what
he must do for complete cooperation
when he goes into the program.
Low Prices are RuinOus.
With better land use one of the
chief aims of the AAA plan, Mr..
Grandt says that it is generally
agreed that unstable prices affect
farm lands about as follows:
If farm commodity prices are ruin
ously low, farmers tend to over-crop
the land in an effort to make up
in quantity and production what they
lack in unit price; and if prices are
abnormally high, farmers tend to
mine the fertility out of the soil to
get as much cash as possible.
Under the pressure of low prices
and reduced income, farmers virtually
are forced to over-crop their soil year
after year, to keep every possible acre
in cash crops even though this de-
erosion. They are forced to do this
because their fixed charges do not
do down when prices of things they
sell go down. In an effort to get
enough money to pay their taxes,
interest, and the necessary production
costs, farmers often are forced to
try all the harder to produce as
much as they can.
The practice in some farming areas
of continually growing cash crops
with rarely compromising soil
building crop in rotation or as a

tility that it is impossible to farm
this land and maintain fair standard
of living. Fluctuating farm prices
and instability of farm income have
prevented many farmers from making
necessary improvements in carrying
out soil-building practices that their
land needed.
ut is thriftier and cheaper to pre-
vent erosion and to conserve the pro-
ductive power of the soil while there
is still a good soil to conserve" says
Mr.. Grandt Unlimited production
of soil-depleting crops, for part of
which there is no effective demand,
even at low prices, is an unwise use
of soil resources"
