FARM DOINGS IN THE VALLEY
By Lew Hanks CONSERVATION NOTES

Your correspondent spent a good part of the week checking soil maps on farms, both at Pal mer and Wasilla. This is a pre- liminary step before clearing.
 Your correspondent is getting of the opinion that the major qualification necessary for a soils surveyor is the possession of a good shovel and strong back. I've got good shovel anyway.
 Tom Day and Dr. Allan Mick probably will not agree with me but I'm going to tell you how to be soils expert in one easy @ lesson. First you take shovel and start out through the woods back of the house. If your feet get wet, keep walking. When you reach ground dry enough to blow, start digging. If you strike gravel in less than foot, start walking again. You may find deeper soil somewhere on the farm.
 When you find that first dry relatively level area with more than a foot in depth you can drop the shovel, grab an ax and start clearing. One caution - don't count the layer of moss,

Jealousy Calls
For Some Self
Examination
By DR.. Paul Popenoe

When he came into my Office
Mr.. D. looked embarrassed, ane
he lost no time in explaining this
It was because he felt embar.
raised, he declared.
I'm fact. I feel like a fool" HI
continued, "and what makes thi.
feeling all the more unpleasant
is my belief that ! actually am .
fool. I thought maybe I'd feel 9
little better if I got this off my
mind"
Whats on your mind, Mr.. D.?'
"I,ll get right to the point, DR.
Popenoe. I'm suspicious of my
wife"

interrupted You'll naturally ask
If I have any ground for suspicion
land I'll have to reply that
haven't the slightest ground. On
the contrary, I am certain that
there is no reason for me to sus-
pect her of infidelity. That's why
I feel so foolish to think that ]
am actually suspicious! Do you
think I'm losing my mind, DR.

Almost so; she's three years

woman-a good woman in the

think that I could ever suspect
her Of doing anything wrong"
when did you begin to suspect
|her?"
"Oh, it's some months now
Probably suspicion isn't the right
word" he interrupted himself
Actually, I suppose that I don't
suspect her; merely wonder. ]
play with the idea that she might
be unfaithful to me. I wonder II
she could be, since I know very
well that she isn't! 1t doesn't
make sense, does it, DR.. Popenoe?"
sit might. Tell me frankly, Mr..
H., did you ever wonder whether
you yourself might ever be un-
faithful to her? Did you ever
play with the idea that you your
self might step out? Not the
slightest intention of doing so, OF
course, but did you ever wonder
what it would be like?
Now he looked much more en-
barrassed than when he came in
ITO tell you the truth. I have
never had the slightest intention
as you say; but Of late years. as
grew older, I have sometimes
speculated but I wouldn'r

NOW, THAT'S A
GOOD QUESTION

What do most people like? Well,
when you've been in business as
long as I have and see what
brands people buy again and
again, it gives you a good idea
of their likes and dislikes.
In my store, for example, I find
most of my customers go for
Campbell's Soups. You see,
there are 81 kinds to choose
from, and with such variety,
there are many to please every
palate and every family, to at
every budget.
And no wonder! Campbell's
Soups are all delicious j. all
soundly nourishing and all
good value.
Yes, I'd say Campbell's Soups
are the peoples choice. I should
know - sell so many.
