IL More Federal

By ERIC FR1EDHEIM

U.N.S.) A, constitutional amend
ment providing for compulsory
retirement Of all Federal Judges
on full pay when they reach the
age Of 70 was recommended to
Congress today by Attorney Gen

Cummings, who quits the Cabi.

offered the new proposal in his

SOME EXEMPTED
The constitutional amendment
would apply to Supreme Court
Justices as well as other mem
bers Of the Federal jurists. It
would exempt, however, all judges

an amendment would require ap-
proval by . two.thirdst vote in
Congress and ratification by at
least 80. states

HOW FARMERS MAY
OBTAIN FACILITIES
SERVICES IS TOLD

COLLEGE STATION. Raleigh.
Jan. lS.-Farmers have been
renting ncighbors their facilities
for a long time, but it has not
been until recently that such a
service has been put on DuSl-
ncSS-likc basis.
DR.. J. r. Allgyr of the farm
security administration, Washing
ton. told State college extension
workers at their conference here
last week of plan his organiza-
ton has put into effect which
enables small farmers to obtain
simple services for nominal fee.
Under this plan, one individual
agrees to borrow funds to provide
4 service or facility for the benc-
fit Of a group on stipulated fee
basis. The borrower is RESPONSE
bic for the maintenance of the
service, for the security offered,
and for the liquidation of the
loan.
For instance. there may be -
farmers in q community who
plant corn, Dr.. Allgyr said. Of
this number, perhaps only one or
two have grain drills. The re-
growers have to get along
as best they can.
However, the FSA encourages
one or more of the number who
do not have drills to secure a
loan for the purchase of this
necessary equipment. Then, for
a stipulated fee, the other farm
crs can get their corn planted
with the drill owned by the mas
ter borrower.
Or, there may be a community
in which there are large num-
Der Of dairy COWS and a limited
number of good herd sires. One
farmer may secure loan through
the FSA to purchase Il good sire
for the use of his ncighbors,
charging each the stipulated fee.

POULTRY INVENTORY
Is HELD NECESSITY
TO ATTAIN SUCCESS

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Jan. lS.-InventorieS, highly i'm
portant to the business, get little
attention from the average
farmer.
In the poultry industry this
glaring failure of bringing facts
and figures up to date is especial
~ true, says Roy S. Dearstync,
head of the State college poultry
department.
Perhaps. he declares, the fact
that practically all farms main
tain some poultry is responsible
FOR this condition, as in North
Carolina the small flock predomi-
mates and is only one cog in the
wheel of Investigation.
Another cause, he says. NAV be
due to indifference and lack of
understanding on the part of the
owner as to the potential posi-
billties of poultry as Il profit
making venture.
A great majority of the states
poultrymen keep no books on
their costs and production, Dear
Styne points out. Consequently.
they know little OF nothing of
their business.
Quite often the grower deceives
himself into believing that he can
carry the detail of IL months
work in his head, the State col
lege poultryman declares. How
ever, such mental prodigies are
few and far between.
Perhaps they are not aware"
Dearstyne says, that the State
college extension service has
available for them a bookkeeping
service which is rendered without
cost and takes the question mark
out of the picture so far as profit
and loss are concerned"
Besides keeping records, the
wise poultryman pays attention t.
| other details closely ASSOCIATED
with success, Dearstyne adds
Such factors include proper hous
ing facilities, breeding practices
feeding and disease prevention.

Brown: "Itll help you do that
to. It's the best all-round farm

"Thc committeeman will tell
YOU how many acres you should
plant to the different cash crops.
And by limiting your acreage OF

will have other land available for

"With this, you can start farm

and when you start growing

Brown: "That's right, Bill. |

Brown: yes. There you have

stock, more manure. / tell you,
