Service Program
For Shortage Of
Farm Labor

Small farm operators handicapped
by an increasing shortage of good
farm hands will find an answer to
their problem in the Community and
Cooperative Services program of the
Farm Security Administration, it was
explained here today by William T..
James, Jr., FSA Supervisor for Som
erset Counties.
with our rural youth being drawn
into expanding mills and training
camps, more and more farmers find
that they can't run their farm eff
GENTLY without certain machinery,
and yet they cannot afford to buy it
singlehanded," Mr.. James added.
Moreover, he said, "small acreage
by itself does not usually justify the
purchase of certain heavy equipment
or expensive services, no matter how
badly needed"
"The farmers cooperative is an
old American institution which has
been growing steadily, particularly
during the last decade, to preserve
that other American tradition fam
ily-sized farming. In order to survive.
the small farm must be operated just
as efficiently as the commercial farm.
Under FSA's Community Services
program over $10,000,OOO worth of
group loans have already helped some
100000 farm families cope with the
obstacles created by industrialized
agriculture" Mr.. James said.
"FSA's Community and Coopera-
tive Service loans are made to de-
serving farm families who cannot
raise the money elsewhere" Mr..
James continued. "These loans are
uesd for tractors, combine harvesters
purebred bulls, and scores of other
expensive equipment and services
which, used comparatively, enable the
participants to farm more efficiently
and profitably."
Mr.. James pointed out that each
Cooperative Service is carefully plan
ned so that the number of partici-
pants will be as large as the service
or equipment warrants, keeping the
cost at a minimum for each member.
Borrowers of group loans do not
necessarily participate in FSA's in
dividual loan program.
Individual FSA loans are made for
such purposes as the purchase of
seed, fertilizer, livestock and small
equipment. These loans are always
made to carry out farm and home
management plans which have been
carefully worked out by the farm
families with FSA supervisors. Co.
operative Service loans may be work.
ed into these plans for the joint use
of the more expensive services and
equipment.

tion on the Community and Cooper
alive Services program of the Farm
Security Administration, may get in

office in Princess Anne, Md.

hatchery eggs will encourage the flock
owner to still further improve his
flock and will pay dividends to the
hatchery operator. Moreover, the
average flock owner will be encour-
aged to increase the size of his flock
which is to the hatchery operators
best interests.

Arizona Becoming
Tourist Center

Indications that Arizona rapidly
is becoming one of the tourist at
fractions of the nation were found
today in a report of the State
Highway department which show
ed almost 100000 automobiles en-
tered the state during 1899
B. H. McAhren, superintendent
Of the division, said the 390,583 in
coming automobiles, the highest
number ever recorded, represented
an increae of 81 ,145 over the num-
Der Of cars checked in during 1888
at various border stations.
The great influx of tourists
brought about a sharp rise on re-
venue from the states five cent a
gallon gasoline tax. McAhren said.
Gas tax revenues in 1889 totaled
$4,421 ,064, a rise of almost $780,
900 over 1888 collections.
McAhren said most of the in
creased revenue came from tour
lists dollars. His figures showed
while the number of tourists cars
jumped by 31,145 last year, only
5000 more machines were regis
tered in Arizona.
These figures clearly indicate,
he said, "That most of the increase
in revenue came from tourist.

Appearance of Home
Altered With Paint

A new coat of paint, properly
selected and applied, can be one of
the most effective of all moderni-
zation devices. Careful choice of
shades can bring to the house eff
fects not throught possible by the
average home owner.
In modernizing a home. painting
should be high on the list of i'm
provements. This is one of the
numerous items of modernization
which may be financed under the
Modernization Credit Plan of the
Federal Housing Administration.
Among the unusual effects OBJ
tainable from painting, devised by
the Council of Paint Styling, are:
Dark roofs seem to be lower to
the ground if the roof is too high
for the length of the house, paint
it dark color.
If the house has shutters, paint
the shutters of the upper story
the same color as the roof. This
will usually bring the roof line
lower, as the eye will travel to the
bottom of the dark shutters. Paint
the remaining shutters the color
of the body of the house.
If the roof line is cut up by too
many gables, everything about the
roof should be dark, and nothing
should stick out in color.
Dormers can make small house
seem larger by being painted on
their faces the color of the side
wall of the house. This will carry
the side-wall color up into the ROOF
and give the appearance of addl
tional height. Dormers on a Tall
house should be painted the darR
roof color. They will visualy be
come part of the roof and not OF
the side walls, making the house
seem lower.
If the chimney is too large fo1
the size of the house, it should be
! nainted the same color as the body
of the house to make it appear
smaller. With this camouflage, the
cbimnev will blend with the house
and will not be noticed.
Where windown openings OF dill
ferent sizes disturbe the unity o.
the houses overall shape, the
treatment is painting the openings
the same color as the body OF tne
house.
| Where window openings OF Oil
tn lower the roof line or draw at
tention to the first floor, shutters
helm to achieve this result.
IF shuttered windows are of varl
Gus sizes, remove all smaller shut
ters and leave only those OF I'LL
larger and more uniform size,

Wealth Of Desert
Flowers Are Assured
For Dons Trek

The rains of the past week make
certain that a wealth of desert
flowers will be out in all their
vivid glory at the time of the an
nual trek of The Dons into the
rugged recesses of Superstition
mountain February 25, Fred Egin-
ton, president, said yesterday.
Peralta canyon has a tiny
stream that flows for weeks after
each rain, fed from the shallow
pools and seepage from the rocky
crags far above. 1t is at the mouth
of this canyon that The Dons es-
tablish their base camp for the day
and send out. under competent
guides. parties to explore the
wonders of the area.

all that are needed to awaken

date of the trek, club members
said yesterday.

ert flora will be great this year.

the story of the lost mine OF

man" Jacob Walz-to lure guests
up the trails in hope Of discover
ing the mouth of the tunnel he so
artfully hid years ago. There also
is the interest that lies in the OLD
Indian hideouts, which have been
discovered by The Dons during the
wears of exporting little-knowh
parts of the mountain.
The cacti and other desert plants
of the mountain form third vast

not be exhausted in a day, or even
