Down in Alabama they're trying, on a basis, an experiment in balance i fanning that may even tually be a pattern for faun programs in either areas. Its known as the "Alabama Ilan" and its simply a plan buse'd on good farming pracr tices, which over a provides for building up the soil and otherwise improving the individual farm to the point where it becomes a productive unit. The Alabama plan is not complicated. It is part of the AAA farm It carries further than program. ever before the conservation work done under the AAA program. As under previous AAA programs, farmers will receive conservation payments for planting within their acreage allotments of special crops, such as cotton, tobacco, peanuts, wheat, and potatoes. However, under the Alabama Plan, In operation for the first time In 1941, full payments made to Alabama farmers will be contingent upon carrying out of certain good farming practices. Planned Conservation. The difference between the Alabama Plan and the general conservation program is about the difference between going Into a cafeteria and picking out a dish or two that you especially like and sitting down to a meal. Heretofore, farmers In Alabama and other states have had available to them certain practices wdiich they could use to earn the payments available under the farm program. They have used many of these but naturally they have not always picked out the best combination of practices for the land. Thut w'as the cafeteria method of soil conservation. Under tiie Alabama Plan, the conservation program worked out for each farm represents a balanced type of farmThats the meal ing type of consei vatlon Not only Is the conservation well planned for each year, but it is worked out for five years in advance The Alabama Plan, like most parts of the farm program, cqme fiom suggtstions from farmers themselves who have observed the operation of the farm piogiam and made suggestions on it fiom time to time Alabama fanners have felt the need for more planning and more balance in their conservation work and the AAA program has hi on adapt d to make it possible for this state-widexperiment in conservation to be undertaken be-in a part ing slate-wid- e five-yea- d well-planne- d e g nmng in 1941. The Alabama farmers who want tins type of program believe that a farmer who does not take care of his soil should not receive the full benefits under the farm program. Kequtremcnts of Plan.

Roosevelt Tells Story. It couldnt be that the other side of the world was burning up that a proud nation which claimed to rule the Seven Seas was begging for help that I was actually writing down on a piece of copy paper a gigantic plan to bring that help. It was simply too big to grasp. How could uny one human being hoe to sit down and draw up a scheme that involved these millions of people, that must answer the criss cross, conflicting hopes, beliefs, demands and desires of half the globe? . my pencil kept on forming . . words and suddenly I saw they weie writing down a simple little anecdote about a lot of men in a smoking car making bets. This seemed still more umial but it is the Presidents way of trying to lllustiate frightfully complicated things with very simple, everyday experiences. He told how, when he was the young assistant seeietary of the navy back in 1914, war in Europe was suddenly declared and he was huirying back to Washington. In the smoking car with him were a number of brokers and bankers "the best economic brains of the count! y" the President called them. They were saying that no war could last long. The bankers could 6top it in two and a half months for no nation could fight long without money in the bank. r How can you be my guiding light While alugging me with left and would he only too glad to hear them.
