Farm Act Designed
To Aid Consumer

An analysis of the new farm act
recently passed by congress indi-
Gates that it gives American con-
sumers more certainty of contin-
uously abundant food supplies than
they ever have had before, accord
ing to Carl King, chairman of the
state agricultural conservation COM
rnittee.
To safeguard consumers, the act
encourages continuous storage Of
additional reserves of wheat and
corn. These are the principal grains
on which consumers depend for
food-wheat for bread, cereals and
to some extent for livestock and
poultry feed; and corn mainly for
fattening meat animals.
After the storage requirements
are filled the act provides for mar
keting quotas by which producers
cam move to prevent excess market
ings of corn and wheat. Before any
quota becomes effective it must be
approved by tWo-thirds Of the
farmers voting in a quota refer
endum.

TENNIS

In the epring of the year duet
storms usually conflict with the
usual routine and along with those
storms come tennis racquetss After
rersuading the faculty to put up
the tennis net we'll all have to play
a little tennis. The majority Of us
feel that tennis is one of the more
difficult games to master. Really it
is not as hard as it seems. isn't it
possible to have a good turnout?

Green vegetables and salad plants
are especially adapted to the small
garden as they take up little space
and will withstand more or less
shading. They need a deep rich
soil with plenty of moisture, and
will thrive under comparatively
cool conditions.
