Department of Agriculture, in
Washington, where discussed the
subject with experts. was told
also of more than one city couple
who had sowed their savings in the
soil and reaped only deficits and
regrets.
There was the case of a wounded
soldier, for example. discharged
from the Army about year ago.
This young Joe obtained a job in a
war plant, married. and went shop
ping for a little farm. A real-estate
agent showed the newlyweds an
abandoned l0-acre farm. 1t was a
lovely spring day, lilac bushes were
in bloom, the view was gorgeous.
and Joe's bride was entranced by
the old-fashioned wallpaper in the
parlor. They promptly made a
down payment. Life was going to
be an idyll from then on.
You can guess the end of the
story. The hillside land was 80
badly eroded that it wouldn't pro-
duce crops. The barn leaked like a
sieve. The house was a termites'
paradise. The well went dry. Joe
and his wife didn't avail them
selves of the good advice or sound
financing they might have had.
Is Didn's vvoxk
The farm gobbled Joe's wages
every week, and when winter came
they were only too glad to give up
their investment and move back
to tows> Their adventure in con-
tentment had turned into horri-
bic example of what city folks
should not do.
The most important thing in
entering upon any part-time farm
ing enterprise, agricultural experts
say, is to do so with your eyes
open. Here are five suggestions
which they have for every prospec-
tive rurbanite.
/. Do an honest job of self
appraisal. Are you the kind OF peo-
pie who would enjoy choring
around a rural home? If you have
never lived in the country, and
don't know the answers, you'd bet
ter rent before buying.
Z Don't expect too much. What
you get out of a part-time farm
will depend largely upon the work
you and your family put into it.
and in no event should you expect
it to support you entirely.
:. Have a plan. Be sure the
place you select is suited for the
crops you hope to produce. Have
the soil tested and look well into
such matters as water supply, soil
drainage, taxes and transportation.
L Don't pay too much. Re-
member, there's a land boom on.

School and Stree.
Improvements
Being Delayed

Although the Alexandria CITY
Council has approved construction
of concrete stadium to seat 1000
persons at the George Washington
High School, and the addition of
the north wing to provide necessary
additional classroom space, CITY
Manager Carl Budwesky pointed out
today that the city must await
approval by the War Production
Board before going ahead with the
projects.
Mr.. Budwesky also said that con-
struction Of two wings on City Hall
and number of street improve
ment and sewer projects, for which
appropriations have been made, are
being held up awaiting WPB
approval.
The stadium, considered the most
vital need of the expansion pro-
gram proposed by the Board of
Education, will cost $50 900 to $50 900
and will replace the present wooden
stands which have been condemned
by the building inspector.
In discussing the expansion plan
for the schools, the City Council
agreed that only the work on the
high school, and possibly a new
grade school for the northeast Sec
ton of the city, stand any chance
OF approval by WPB. The other inn
provements involve additions to the
elementary schools for gymnasia
ca1eterias, auditoriums and Office
space and would undoubtedly be
classed as unessential, the Council
felt. -A
The applications for priorities for
the stadium and the high school
wing will be sent to WPB within
the next few days, Mr.. Budwesky
said.
OF the storm sewers and street
constructions for which council has
made appropriations, only two have
peen approved by WPB. They are
the Franklin street storm sewer now
under construction, and the storm
sewer to run from the TOO block of
King Street road to Junior street
which will get under way when the
FRANKLIN street work is COMPLETED
Other projects for which WPB
approval is pending are the East
