Best To Write Farm Lease,
Share by Contribution

It's best to think through and
write out a farm lease so that
the landlord and the tenant will
share in the farm income accord
ing to how much each contributes
to running the business.
Edward H.. Schabinger, New
Castle County agricultural agent,
explains that the landlord should
charge for interest on his invest
ment and for upkeep and depre-
citation of buildings, fences, tax
bitches, and other capital i'm
provements.
A tenant should charge for in
terest, depreciation, and upkeeI
for capital items supplied-plus
a charge for his labor.
The easiest way to handle pro-
duction expenses is to estimate
how much each party paid be.
fore by using the farm account
book as a guide. Then they car
adjust paying expenses to meet
the share arrangement set up fol
the farm.
The agent advises writing ur
lease that gives the tenant and
the landlord a feeling of working

Conservation Reserve Contract
Deadline Extended to April l5

The deadline for signing Soil
Bank conservation reserve con-
tracts has been extended to April
Is, according to George c. Simp-
son, chairman of the State Agri-
cultural Sterilization and Conser-
vation Committee.
The original closing date was
March Is.
This is being done because of
the current heavy work load of
county ASC offices in signing
agreements before the March 8
deadline with farmers who wish
to take part in the 1857 corn
acreage reserve program, Simp-
son said.
He reported. that only about
nine farmers have signed conser-
vation agreements, while there
has been considerable signing of
corn acreage reserve agreements.
The conservation reserve is the
long-range program of the Soil
Bank, Simpson said Under it,
farmers may sign contracts to
divert general crop land from
the production of crops to soil

Fenwick Sees Virqinio
Buying No DC. Airport

Virginia State Senator Charles
r.. Fenwick of Arlington said
today the State lis not inter-
ested in financing and con-
structing an airport for the
Nations Capital"
His statement was in reply
to a request earlier this week
from the Alexandria G. o. p.
committee that Gov. Stanley
take immediate steps toward
creation of a Northern Virginia
airport authority.
The committee said the au-
thority could build and operate
a second airport in the Wash
ington area and acquire WASH
ington National Airport from
the Federal Government.
Senator Fenwick said only a
small percentage of airline
passengers in the Washington
area come from Northern Vir-
ginia.
Why should the State Of
Virginia bail out the Federal
Government by providing an
airport for the Nations Capital
when it is the obligation of the
Federal Government to do sop

Preliminary Work
On New Bridge to

Preliminary construction on

The initial undertaking will
be new seawalls on the Vir-
ginia shore needed to protect
the underpinnings of the main
structure. according to G. /.
Sawyer, director of the plan
ming. design and engineering
Office of the Highway Depart
ment.
Mr.. Sawyer addressed a
luncheon Of the Civilian Club
in the Mayflower Hotel.
Road engineers are review
ing designs and specifications
for the bridge and its APP
proaches, now that the de-
cision has been made to pro-
coed with the original Con-
gressional authorization OF the
project.
Mr.. Sawyer said District
officials will meet soon with
the Fine Arts Commission on
the esthetic features OF the
structure. The department. he
added. expects to be ready for
construction bids on the bridge
and approach roads in about
q year.

School Board
Choice Near

The Arlington County Board
tomorrow will consider the ap-
pointment of a School Board
member to replace L. Clark
Heating. whose resignation is
effective Sunday.
Mr.. Heating, head Of the de-
partment of romance languages
at George Washington UniVer-
sity. has accepted a similar post
at Cincinnati University. His
four-year term expires at the
end of this year.
The County Board will take
up the interim appointment
question at a noon meeting, ac-
cording to Chairman Wesley
w. Cooper. The meeting had
been scheduled to consider
marketing a block of school
bonds, but this sale was post
poned indefinitely because Of
an unfavorable bond market.
The leading candidate for
Mr.. Keating's School Board
seat is considered to be Robert
A. Peck. a former County
Board member. Another name,
which has been mentioned is
that Of T. r. Schellenberg. as
sistant archivist for the United

vatives. as are the three ma
jority members Of the County
Board. who will have the final
say in the appointment. =

He also questioned whether
Alexandria Republicans are
suggesting that the State invest
some $50 million in a supple
mentary airport and another
$11.5 million for the National
Airport.
"If not. where is the money
coming from?" he asked.
Senator Fenwick said the
Virginia Legislative Airport
Study Commission, which he
heads. already has recommend
ed creation of a public airport
authority. But this. he said,
could only be established by
the General Assembly, which
probably will consider legisla-
ton for the authority at its
session next year.
Senator Fenwick said he Is
sure that the authority, If Gre
ated, would be interested in
purchasing both the National
Airport and its proposed aux
Hilary.
I'VE want a supplementary
airport in Virginia" he said,
but not at the expense Of the

Fairfax Takes
First Step on
School Pay Rise

Fairfax County school on
cials have taken a first step
toward urging\a higher teacher
pay scale for the school year
1883.
The county school board was
handed last night an extensive
salary schedule analysis of
suburban areas" showing how
Fairfax compares with SO other
school systems.
DR.. Robert B. Walker, an
assistant superintendent, told
board members the compare
tive communities were selected
because both school and popu-
lation characteristics corre-
spond with those of Fairfax.
He added that he was pre-
senting this information be
cause the first thing you know
it will be December and we will
have to start deciding what we
can pay the following year."
The analysis he offered is
based on 1854 data. and shows
that Fairfax ranks 26th in
minimum pay for teachers
with bachelor degrees, 9th for
masters degrees holders start
ing salary. and 28th for mas
ter's maximum.
Only Two Areas Above
Only salaries paid in Wash.
ington and Alexandria top
those paid in Fairfax among
communities in this area.
In other board action last
night, about 100 persons reg
istered a request for school
bus service from homes in a
number of subdivisions to the
new Germantown School, which
opens September 2.
Leslie v. Dix. representing
parents in Fairchester. Fairfax
Woods. and the Riley subdivi-
sions. told the board that some
children in these communities
would have to walk q mile or
more to get to the new school.
He said the shortest route
from home to school in most
instances was along heavily
Travelled thoroughfares without
sidewalks. and across a ESQ
yard jungle" that would be
muddy in wet weather and an
ideal place for child-molesters
to strike.
Promises Action Soon
The board declined to act
last night. but promised the
parents 1t would act as soon
as possible after the opening
Of school in September
The board wrestled longest
last night over the question Of
how and when to grade a play
ground at the Mount Eagle
School on Kings highway, just
of Jefferson Davis highway. 1t
finally decided to authorize the
project at the discretion Of the
school staff.
