CHANGE IN AAA RULING MAY
PERMIT GREATER COMPLIANCE

A change in regulation by the Ag-
icultural Adjustment Administration
IN request of Eastern Washington
farmers, has just been made permit
ing each farm in multiple landlord
n multiple tenant "set-up' to stand
on it's own foot,'' announces County
Agent Lee 4. roster.
1t is expected that the change in
the ruling will permit much greater
compliance among wheat farmers in
Lincoln county In the 1888 Agricult
ural Conservation program.
If participation of more than one
farm is applied for, no penalties will
be assessed on farms complying if on
farms which do not comply the usual
soil depicting acres are not exceeded.
Penalties are still assessed against the
wheat land on which no soil conserv-
ing practices are carried out, but be-
cause of the summer fallow practice
these penalties are decreased by per-
centages sufficient to keep the pay
ment of farms in the group which do
not exceed their soil depicting acreage
allotment at tho amount provided in
the program. "
According to wording of the ruling
the penalty is assessed as follows:
"Five times the farm rate decreas-
ed by the percentage obtained as fol-
lows: divide the acreage on the farm
which would normally be summerfal-
lowed in 1889, by the sum of such
normal fallow acreage and the usual
acreage which would be seeded to
wheat for harvest in 1888 under the
established rotation system on the
farm
Farmers affected by the new ruling
are urged by County Agent Foster to
consult him or the county agricultural
conservation committee.

"Wants to Do Right
Thing by Everybody"

Dear Miss Fairfax:
My parents don't like him or
his suggestion that I continue
to live with them until he makes
enough money to support us
both. He intends to stay with
his parents, too. There's an
other man who wants to marry
me, and he could give me a
very nice home, for which he's
paying now, and my parents
want me to marry him, but they
prefer to have me wait a few
years.
I want to do the right thing
by most everybody, but how can
I please them all? I'm 18 years
Of age. GEORGETTE.
It's absolutely impossible to
please everyone in a situation
like this. And when it comes
10 a question of marriage, the
one to do the right thing by is
yourself. AS you do not express
a preference for either of these
young men, and are only 18
years of age, why don't you wait
until you really care so much
for someone that you feel you
can't live without him?

Dear Miss Blake:
When I left the small town
Of Mae, Washington, I never
thought should again see any
one from that place here in this
city. But the old saying "it's a
small world" is true enough.
Just about two years ago, while
walking on "F" Street, I ran
right into an old high-School
classmate of mine from Mae.
It was only naturally for us to
see each other often, under the
circumstances. We grew to like
each other, too, very much, but
never a word was spoken. One
day she said: Wasn't it lucky
we met. I do not know what I
should have done without you"
This was too much for me. I
asked her to marry me. She
did. We have been married
more than a year now and we
are quite happy, indeed.
