 Bennett. a former county farm agent says
 T am convinced that a farm de- velopment with as much as 2,500 acres of reasonably good land can, With wise management, be made to pay greater dividends than almost any other industry you might select. It takes lot of planning and busi- ness abilily. but it can be done"
 Soil Is Improued
 The first step in Pine Mountain Valleys success. he says, was ter racing the worn-out field ds with modern machinery and laying out the farms for efficient use of the different land types.
 Soil-building crops-mainly vetch Austrian peas and crimson clover in the winter and field peas, soy beans and velvet beans in the sum- mer-have doubled the lands pro- ductivity. There is no letup in this direction and Bennett does not see any limit to the benefits.

200 CITY FOLK
 TURN OUT TO BE
 SLICK FARMERS
Resettled by U. 5. Govern ment in Red Hills of
 Georgia, Make Good
By PAUL SIMMONS AP Feature SerUicc Writer

HAMILTON. Ga, March B. A promise of a different kind of farm Ing in the South-a kind that not only brings a good living but also regular cash profits-is emerging from a l3.0o0-acre settlement in the red hills of Georgia.
 It is coming from community farm industries built around 200 families who are finding new life on land the Federal Relief administration bought four years ago for $l1 an acre
 Hard hit by the depression, the families were none too hopeful when they settled on the 16- to 36-acre farms in Pine Mountain Valley. But now their pantries are full and their produce is selling.
 From Ships To Chickens Pierce Thomson, a former ship yard worker, for instance, cleared $500 last season on his farm. He expects $1,200 this year--a B 1f3 per cent return on $3,500 invest ment in land, livestock, buildings and equipment sold him on long term payment plan.
 Allen Meeks made $40 from poul- try in one month and paid more than $500 last year on his indebted ness E. w. Brannon, who used to operate string of filling stations. is raising so much food that his wife can hardly decide what to cook.
 E. J. Snodgress, a former food and drug salesman, never had put harness on a mule two years ago. he had to watch somebody else do it before he knew where to start Yet he cleared $500 the first year.
 The story behind all this is the story of the Pine Mountain Valley corporation, of which Miss Gay B. Shepperson, state WPA admins trator, is president.
 Poultry Means Cash

 Poultry has been their No. mon- ey-maker. It brought more than $38,000 to the valley in three months last season. w. Tapley Bennett, manager of the settlement, expects $75,O00 this year, $35,OOO of it clear profit
 A corporation poultry plant is making $5,000 year over expenses. It represents an outlay of not more than $15,000.

CHAIN LETTER IDEA LOOKED
 GOOD ANYWAY

WASHINGTON, March 8.-They are at it again. That is, they were until today.
 A streamlined version of-remem- ber?-the get-rich-quick chain let ter idea flourished in the nations capital in the form of the District Discount Association.
 It closed its doors last night af- CT the associations attorney, Wal ter M Shea, and United States At torney David A. Pine had few words. Pine said the association con- stituted lottery. Shea said his cil- ents would close their doors, but wouldn't concede the operations were illegal.
 AS an afterthought, Pine said he wasn't convince it was illegal, either.
 Here's the way it worked:
 A member pays 95 cents dues to join the association, receiving book of tickets emitting him to buy at discount at nine specified re- tail houses. His name was placed on a chain list at the same time. The client" then gets two other applicants (remember the chain let ters?) His name goes on their lists, restricted to seven names. When a persons name reaches the head of the list he pays s5 to the person who headed the list before he took top position. And so it goes and goes and went until last night.
 The most a person could realize was $600 on his $5.95 investment.
