from his yard in town. He says he
grew very fine melon vine,
plucked two good melons from
this vine and planned to have two
more in the next few days, but the
thief beat him to it, so it is about
$3.50 proposition, the owner had
two melons from the vine, and
the thief had two. There are
several more small melons on the

melons, and let the thief get his
some other place.

Recommendation
Made for 1941 AAA
Farm Program

Next years AAA farm program
will continue emphasis on soil
conservation and give increased
opportunity for adapting the pro-
gram to fit individual farm re-
quirements, according to Wayne T
Wright. chairman of the state AAA
committee. Wright recently re-
turned from the national AAA con-
ference in Washington, D. c.,
where recommendation were pre-
scented for the 1S41 farm program.
zone of the most important
accommodations for 1941 includ-
ed provisions which permitted
farmers in designated areas to
earn part of their soil-building
allowance by carrying out supple
mental practices not normally
carried out on the farm provided
they maintain so per cent OF the
crop land on the farm in perennial
legumes or grasses" said Wright.
1.-The commercial vegetable pro-
gram for 1941 for the greatest
part will remain the same,
Wright stated. However, no
county will be designated as a
commercial vegetable county un-
less more than 400 acres of COM
mercial vegetables are normally
grown on farms producing more
,han three acres. Also, upon
recommendation of the State COM
mittee the allotment may be omit
ted in the State and a vegetable
limit placed on farms having other
crop allotments. In such acres no
payments would be made directly
on vegetables" Wright added.
Rates of payment to farmers for
cooperation in the program will be
determined in part, by the size OF
the acreage allotments Farmers
who plant within the acreage aiiot-
ments for their farms and who put
specified soil-building practices in

Fences May Prove
Asset To Property

Good fences make good neigh
bors.
Many people look upon fences
as unfriendly barriers erected to
prevent intrusion and to exclude
neighbors and friends. The reverse
is often true, as a good fence, built
with an eye 10 beauty and fitted to
the architectural character of the
house, may be an asset to many
properties.
The flower enthusiast will find
the fence a protection from wan
dering neighborhood pets. A fence
helps to confine the activities of
small children and prevent them
from straying into the street.

Car Parking Problem
Bring Solved

What to do with an automobile
when a person gets to his place OF
business is becoming more and
more of a problem every day, and
inWashington the parking lot is
getting to be really big business.
Many very valuable spots in the
city, formerly occupied by run
down and poor-income property,
is being used for that alone. The
cities of Philadelphia and Detroit
have. however, made an attempt
to solve the car problem in a new
and so far successful way. In both
cities the transit companies have
established park lots at various
places near the outskirts of the
city into which the suburbanite
drivers, pay his parking charge
and then receives round trip
ticket on the tolley or bus which
takes him to his place of business
and back. In May of this year in
Detroit there were 14,429 cars
parked and 79,946 car and bus
tickets used. The transit com
panies find it profitable and auto
mobile owners find it a great con-
venience

Why Is Farley
Popular?

1t appears that nearly all the
nice things to be said about
national politician this year were
reserved for Postmaster General
James A. Farley. And why was
that? He isn't a scholar great
statesman, Or an outstanding ad-
ministrator of a Department of the
Government. He isn't weak, and he
doesn't bend easily.
He is the one big man in the
Government who never gets mad,
never says unkind or hurtful
things about anybody. He is a true
gentleman of the finest type OF
Irish parentage. He is Gentleman
Jim Farley, nothing more.
That explains why he is one OF
the countrys most popular citizens.

What's Needed

Now that national defense needs
are imperative, it is only natural
To assume that war necessities
could be produced with just as
great seeming ease.
From that standpoint, a recent
discussion by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr.,
chairman of General Motors, sheds
interesting light on the proglem OF
mass production for defense. Mr..
Sloan expressed confidence that
American industry can produce
whatever it may be asked to pro-
duce.
