determine the best sealing methods
for various soil types which may be
found in the beds of farm ponds.
Successful ponds. Mr.. Holtan
pointed out, are important factors
in converting areas to proper land
use. especially In the ridges and
valley sections and in the Piedmont
where much land is to steep for
safe cultivation but cannot be re-
tired to pasture without con-
venient source of water.
Pond construction costs range
from $400 to more than $4,000. They
are being constructed all over the
Nation for such varied purposes as
garden irrigation, water supply for
orchard spraying, fire control,
watering stock in pastures and fish

from heaving to any great ex-
tent and at the same time will
furnish much-liked plant food.

The lack of rain this month
means that all evergreens should
be thoroughly watered now be-
fore the ground is frozen. Great
loss can occur if evergreens are
allowed to 60 into the winter

You may find it hard to believe,
but before the Selective Service Act
went into effect a man could buy
his way out of the Army!
If he. wanted out and still had a
year or two of his enlistment to run
he could pay so much and turn in
his uniform.
Families of Army boys have been
writing me to find out if this is still
possible. It isn't, not chance.
If there's a change, I'll report it
in the Guide
Question from Mrs j. E. Gramercy,
La: MY son, s veteran, has signed
up for a job which is almost certain
to come through in two or three
months. Meantime, he wants to
draw the unemployment pay of $40
a week but they won't let him.
Why not?"
Possibly because he's waiting for
the job he wants and thus is not
willing and able to take another job.
However, if he is willing to take
"a temporary job. and makes that
clear to the unemployment COM
pensation people. it's possible they
may put him on the rolls.
From D. R., Grand Island, Nebr.:
The Government paid my CONNER
cial life insurance premiums. under
the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act,
from the time I entered the service
to my discharge. I recently got a
bill to cover the whole amount, and
it is big. Now I don't want to keep
that commercial insurance, as have
converted my NSLI. Is there any
way out of paying the bill?"
No. Maybe you don't remember
it, but when you got in the service
you actually applied to- have the
Government guarantee your COM
mercial life insurance premiums.
Now you must make good on the
deal.

money, brought back from Germany.

Every day finds new varieties
of chrysanthemums opening
their buds to swell the gorgeous
display of color. Very tender va
rieties are better wintered over
in a cold frame. Some people
like to lift whole plants at this
season, letting them bloom in
doors and later putting them out
in a cold frame until spring
comes and they can be divided
and set out to bloom again.
Better plan now on winter pro-
lection for plants that are not
entirely hardy or are growing in
exposed positions. A screen of
some kind may be the answer.
