Ever think of giving a room for
a Christmas present? That isn't
as fantastic as it sounds. In fact
it isn't fantastic at all to two
leading publications in the build
ing field.
Both make the suggestion chat
new room is a practical PROPOSE
ton as a holiday gift. Both put
the accent on remodeling Roth
offer the idea of Yuletide modern
izing as a special tie-in with The
special interests of an individuo
member of the family In the cur
rent issue of House & Garden,
ten ways are suggested for home
owners to do their Christmas shop
ping structurally.
Building Supply News" promotes
the idea to the building material
dealer. Emphasis is laid on educat-
ing the lady of the house. The
thought is to be planted in her
mind that her husband or her son
would welcome Workroom of his
own. This would be place, possib-
ly in the basement, where he would
be free to exercise his mechanical
bent to the utmost. Incidentally
such a workroom, it was pointed
out, would speed up the future
home repair docket. Thus Mrs
Home Owner gets a selfish as well
as an unselfish reason for her
choice of present.
Among the types of materials
suitable for this kind of work are
man" improved kinds of Wallboard
and structural insulation now
available. These include improved
fibre Wallboard, improved types of
gypsum plaster board, such as Best
wall, and the decorative plank and
tile which modern cane fibre in
sulation board has to offer. Wood
grained effects are increasingly
popular in both fibre and gypsum
board.
I'm sold! AS far as the Build
ing Spotlight" is concerned, I agree
with all the editors have to say.
But there is just one feature of
this type of Christmas present l
have been wondering about. Just
how do you keep the gift a sur
prise?
Many building material manu-
facturer has organized clubs for his
own statesmen. But recently I heard
for the first time of a company SO
forWard-looking as to form an as
seciation of its dealers statesmen.
Consider the case of the Lucky
Forties Club, started by a maker of
roofing products. Here is a group
of more than 5000 men working for
several hundred employers. All are
united in the optimistic selling
philosophy implied by the name OF
their organization. All are given
confidence by set of credentials
consisting of ca a four-leaf clover
pin to wear in the lapel, and tb)
an identification card for house
Toulouse selling. This card is in the

BY RALPH H. TAYLOR
Executive Secretary, Agricultural
Council of California;


Insurance, in this hazardous age
is both necessity and a sound in
vestment. No one in his right senses
will question it!
But nearly every man, when he
contemplates taking out additional
insurance, must reckon not only
how much he would like to have
but how much he can afford.
In his anxiety to protect his FAM
ily's future, the man of the house
must still exercise prudent iudg-
ment, SO that he doesn't buy more
than he can pay for-and thereby
jeopardize both present and future
That may seem like a somewhat
academic statement of facts, but ii
is a viewpoint that badly needs to
be applied to the problem of COM
munity insurance, or social security.
Both in California, and in the
nation at large, there has been an
undoubted tendency during recent
years to insure to the hilt and let
the government take care of the
premiums. But actually, of course
the government-regardlesS of some
of the big-handed gestures of its
politically-minded officials-doeSn t
pay the premiums. They are paid
just like you pay them on your life
insurance, by the fellow who has his
name written on the face of the
policy!
And what do they cost?
The annual bill of California en-
ployers, at the present time, for
social security exceeds $84000,000
and an additional SAL 900 900 annual
ly is paid by employees.
This tax is already one Of the
largest in the state and will soon
become the largest, without excep-
ton, if increased tax rates now
provided for become effective.
Perhaps California employers, and
California workers, can afford it
If so, no harm has been Done. But
perhaps neither employer nor en-
ploye has ever figured out, care
fully, whether he can continue tc
meet the premiums without riskine
the present to provide for a too
abundant future. It's something, al
least. that merits consideration.
A good private insurance sales
man is usually too shrewd and prac-
tical to over-sell the man who does
business with him, but government
salesman of social security, in fal
too many instances, have their eye
on the next election and are per-
fectly willing to let the future takt
care of itself.
Under the circumstances, ever.
buyer of social security might d'
well to take account of the situa
ton and find out just what it i

Results Awaited
From Fertilizer
Test Plots

Extension service workers in I'M
perial county completed the preli-
mlnary tasks in setting out tests to
determine the value of phosphate
fertilizers on the valleys hard soils
Saturday, and sat back to await
results.
Three plots were included in the
tests, according to George l.. Win
right, one in the northend, one in
central Imperial Valley and one in
the Mt. Signal district.
Each plot was divided into three
sub-plots. On the first sub-plot
phosphate fertilizer is applied on
the surface, on the second sub-plot
fertilizer is inserted into holes drill
ed from q to seven inches deep, and
on third sub-plot holes are drilled
with no fertilizers applied.
The tests will therefore show re-
suits from the ordinary plan OF
fertilizer application, results from
fertilizer when it penetrates into
the root zone and results from wa
ter penetration into the root zone.
The tests were originated because
good results have been received from
the application of phosphate on soft
lands, while results have been neg
ligible on hard land.

USDA Establishes
Sugar Beet
Allotment for 1941

WASHINGTON, Dec. a. (UP)--
The agriculture department h a S
established 1941 sugar beet acreage
allotments at 100000 acres, Ill per
cent below the 100000 acre allot-
ment in 1898, 1889 and 1910.
The reduction, which is the first
made since the beginning of the
sugar program in 1894, is required
under the sugar act of 1887, which
requires that balance be main
tained between sugar production and
marketing quotas and carryover.
Production during the last three
years, the department said, has ac-
cumulated larger than normal sugar
stocks.
The department said that the de-
creased acreage allotment will not
affect the quantity of beet sugar
which may be marketed. The in
itial marketing quota has been
set at l,549,898 short tons, raw
value. This is the same as for 1910.
