Cnciuploymeiit Relief
Last Wednesday the House de-
buted and finally passed by u vote
of 352 to 23 a supplemental re-
lief appropriation of $250,000,OOP.
This measure was approved by the
Semite Appropriations (’ommittm*
and will lie pending business in the
Senate on ^Monday The undisputed
facts show that this measure will
provide for only one out of six ad-
ditional (|ualiiied unemployed pe<>-
ptc now unable to find work Re-
cent unemployment estimate* show
that more than 3.0OO.0OO.OOO addi-
tional nnmnployed have i*eeh let
out by industry, which must be pro-
vided for by relief or they starve.
Many of the private industries are
discharging thousands of employees
and closing down their plants, yet
maintaining their price structure
regardless of the inability of the
pcoph* to buy.
Four-Department Bill
The State, Justice, (’ommeice
and Labor appropriations bill was
considered last Thursday and f'ri-
day ami linally passed,and sent to
tin* Semite. This makes more thaii

Last Wmlm-sday, tin* iM^iiient
signed the new farm bill and it l»e-
came a law. in signing, the Presi-
dent in part said :
"The agricultural adjustment
act of 1938 represents the win-
ning of. one more battle for an
underlying farm policy that will
endure. 'i'hcreforc,sit is historic
legislation. Il Is not |>erfect, but
Is the const r net I ve product of the
able and sincere work of many
men. 1 believe the overwhelm-
Ing majority of the jteople will
commend Members of Congress
ami others wht* have dcvoh*il
themselves to the making of this
law. As we go ahead under the
new act, let us resolve to make
It an effective instrument to
se.rve the welfare of agriculture
and all I'lir people."
This marks another mile stone
in the progress for farm-legislation
(hat will give the farmer a better
chaace to make a living on Ids
farm. This hill while it is not
perfect .and does not give the farm-
er parity or <*ost of production for
Ids crop, il (l<M‘s greatly1 improve
existing law and provides many ad-
vantages for the small farmer, he
does not now have.
The new bill seis forth the basis
of a six |sdnt program designed jto
proviile the farmer with adeuu.tyr
facilities and w|th the stability of
income needed to enable him to pro
du<*e abundantly and to malniain

Your Mileage Merchant Advises..,
Try to have the two cars slightly “staggered”—
in line with each other. TMs often helps if burnjW
especially when the car with its bumper below ca ™
drain or similar depression. Another way is for the car
its bumper on top to get up on a curb or “hump.” Tl
all “just in case.”
Now ask the poor fellow who wants your help to get
into HIGH— keeping his clutch pedal down—letting it
back gradually only after you get his car under way.
Push with your LOW gear. That’s easiest on your car ..,
for half a block. Then if the other fellow’s car hasn’t started,
have him get into neutral and push him up to a nearby
Mileage Merchant for Special Winter Blend Conoco Bronze
like yours. That can’t help but get him started ... Then the
way to dodge further battery trouble, dangerous oil dilution j
—and embarrassment—is to get sure-starting Conoco Bronze ’

Weil, folks, wo finally got that
freeze that I have been talking
about for $o long. But 1 am
thankful that everything was cov-
ered with water when the
vvea tiier got Imre,
anteelng that this will save
fruit but I do think that .there is a
chance I Im I the fruit will gel by.
Here’s hoping anywH.v.
Many years ago. when tlie old
Vuion Hill school house was still in
use. I was teaching there one year
and on about tlie last of February
we had a sjxdl similar to this one.
Mr. McWilliams had 15* or 20 acres
of i>eat*he« that were in full bloom.
Tlu*se blooms were covered in a
sheet of i<*e. I think that the early
sHii shining on these ice covered
blossoms was the most lH*autiful
sigliF TTiat T ever savv. The fruit
was not injured to any extent by
tla* cold weather. It is un this ex-
perience that I base my jiopi*.
Did You Know
There is 15 or 20 pounds of mois-
ture in a bushel of corn when it is
gatli(*r<*d. The man who l*iiys
freshly gathered corn pays a pretn-
ium of about 25%
who Im.vs late.
This year’s Farm Bill will in-
clude >i referendum by the farm-
ers on the amount of farm products
that may J*e marketed,
only i,non*' than one-third
that portion.
(’art Sanzenbacher of (’lay coun-
ty. a 4-H Club boy. won the Grand
Champion Calf contest in the Clay
County Show. . The Kemp Hotel*
bought this animal ait 2(*c. . Its
weight was 830- i*ounds and the
total price receiveil was $219.95.
Some calf. I’d-say.
Indications . are that the Farm
Mortgage Act wilt Im* extended for
two years.
If every fiiriq was terraced that
n<‘eds terracing, there would Im* no
danger of overflows along the Reil
River valley.
The price of farm products al-
ways govs up just lH*fore planting
time. I wonder why?

Time* to Garden
When 4lie pn*s(*nt cold spell is
over (probably by the time you
n*ad this) it will Im* dime to b<*-
-gln the garden in earnest. English *
|M*as. potat<*v-s. oidons., turnips, and
even an early roasting car patch
will be in order. 1
soil should Im* brokeji deep and well 1
mulched on t(»f> before planting,
this destroys weeds" atul makes ’
future working <*asier. Half Ihe I
success In making a crop of airy
thing- ismsists in Imving Hie soil in
goo<I sha|M* to b(*gin.
In iny consultations with the
fanners of this section. I notice
that the ones who seem to Im* mak-
ing a success out of their farming,
almost without exception, are those
who plain ji large garden and I her
preserve a large part of.tlu* next-
yea r’s food.
This section certainly d<M»s not

can we grow then? We can grow
