improved Soil Aids Child Health
Observance of Child Health Day every May 1 indicates the nation’s
interest in the welfare of its future citizens such as this radiant child.
This interest is shared by the 6 million farmers cooperating in the AAA
farm program. As a contribution to proper nutrition for growing chil-
dren, these farmers are creating - il conditions which assure an abund-
ance of healthful foods both now and in the future. Application to the
land of liming materials and up. phosphate, shown in the top picture,
is or.e means of doing this. Such practices mean better pastures, more
and better milk from dairy cow- , . nd healthier American children.

plans for converting ever-norm;.'

Among the defr
announced recently by the Se t
tary of Agriculture are: A plan
for making purchases in the op-
en market to support long-tcru
prices of hogs, dairy product
chickens, and eggs, a program ’
expand the prduction of tomertoc

To raise money for charity, a drive

mendation is to assemble a com-
mittee that includes a few women
of such influence that no bu.-ine
be released to stabilize prices and
maintain them at reasonable lev-
els. This means consumers will be
protected and farmers will benefit
by selling more products at fair
er prices than those which hav'
prevailed in the past few year
A 50 per cent increase in pro-
duction of tomatoes for canning
is sought this spring to meet de-
mands for canned tomatoes undei
the Lease-Lend Act and for
distribution for the American
lied Cross. Additional supplies
will be used for school lunch pro-
grams, relief distribution, and
ther public assistance purposes,
the Director explains. To make it
possible for canners to take im-
mediate steps to insure an in-

The new drive for increase in
noultry products is expected to
increase the nation’s egg produc
ion by about six per cent in the
next 15 months, Director William
son says. This means eggs pro-
ceed will be increased by about
10 million cases of 30 eggs each.

achieved by ample feeding begin-

“What we are trying to do now

Another Free French force
landed at the British Somaliland
port of Zeila on the Gulf of Aden
coast, forty miles below Jibuto,
with the apparent intention of
closing a pincers on Jibuto.
The Britiah-FYee FVench attack
on French Somaliland is for the
purpose of clearing the Jibuti-Ad-
dis Ababa Railroad for the British
Armies conquering Ethiopia.
The attack obviously was timed
with the British capture at 6 p. m.
Saturday of the Ethiopian center
of Dessie, aibou 130 miles west of
French Somaliland and one of the
last centers of real Italian resis-
tance.
Leading the attack is General
Gentilhomme, former French mili-
tary governor of Jibuti and one-
time commander of all the French
forces in East Africa. Under Gen-
tilhomme, it was reported, is s
force of less than 20,000 troops.

An advertising and publicity cam-

various stunts should be planned

social position makes them news.
Get young girls to sell sandwiches

charity. Have pi-eminent women
sell signed recipes of their best
dishes. And stage a fashion show
with society girls as mannikins,
