CHECKS EROSION - New Practice Preserves the Soil and Water. These Cuddle Toys Will Delight Kiddies By W. D. LEE (Extension Soil Conservationist, North Carolina State College.) Mrs. B. C. Rathbone, 30, comes the second American-bor- Increasing public interest in checking wasteful soil erosion is altering the traditional rectangular fields with straight rows so familiar in the American landscape. . , A new practice known as stripcropping, resembling a marble cake because of its swirls, has been gaining increasing favor since the creation of the soil conservation service about seven years ago. Three types of have come into general use in the United States to meet various conditions. VICHY, FRANCE. Frenchmen of a few years ago would never have dreamed that this scene might take place in their homeland. But here it is. Gen. Neubronn von Eisenburg, who, as Nazi inspector, keeps a sharp eye on whats left of the French army, salutes as he reviews a French honor guard on his arrival at Vichy.

Horses, Mules Decrease As Tractor Use Rises The use of tractors reduces the need for horses and mules on farms and, through a decrease in the numbers of work' stock, has a marked effect upon the agricultural produce available for sale, and also upon the financial organization of the farms. Before tractors came into general use 25,000,000 horses and mules were reported on farms in the United States. Since 1920 this number has gradually decreased until only were reported in 1939. Approximately 50,000,000 acres of crop and pasture land needed for horse feed in 1920 are now available for other purposes. The displacement of work stock on farms should not be attributed wholly to the use of tractors. The use of automobiles on farms, which increased until about 1930, and the use of trucks for hauling, were as effective as tractors in reducing horse and mule numbers. At the present rate of work stock reproduction it seems that horse and mule numbers will be stabilized at about 12,500,000 head. However, the recent introduction of the small tractor may reduce the need for horses still further. one-plo- w Corn Cobs Valueless ' j Ground corn cobs have practically feeding value for poultry. Consequently it is much better to feed ground shelled corn than corn and cob meal. The cob bulk simply means so much useless filler in the ration. no i Farm Notes Under the eyes of watchful photographers, President Roosevelt wielded six pens, made the' British aid bill, called by its opponents the bill, and then turned in his chair and told newsmen he would ask fpr $7,000,000,000 as the initial appropriation under the measure. While this announcement struck force as the greatwith bomb-she- ll est American peace-tim- e appropriation request in history, the congress apparently was willing to go ahead and match the Presidents desire for speed with some action of its own. This was evident when the bill returned from senate to house with an even dozen amendments attached. Representative Martin of Massachusetts, minority leader, jumped to his feet, pleaded for unity and for action, and received a most unusual tribute from his colleagues. He received what is known as a standing ovation from the entire house. The lower branch of the congress responded to this brief talk by voting 317 to 71 to accept the changes put in by the upper house. Then Vice President Wallace and Speaker Sam Rayburn put their penned signatures to the printed measure and off it went to the President. Hardly had it "become law and within an hour after the President had asked for the seven billions, statisticians were busy trying to tell the public what this amount meant in purchased goods and services. One of these put it this way it would equal a strip of $10 bills times around the reaching 2 world; it would buy 120 Empire State buildings at 50 million each; or it would build 115 Triborough bridges at $60,000,000; or 120 at $50,000,000; or 2,350 submarines, 2,090,000 light tanks; bombers; also would pay the entire cost of public education in the U. S. for three years, or provide a $50 U. S. bond for every man, woman and child. Thus given- a visual picture of what the sum meant, it was figured that the first job would be for the President to provide for England as much as possible under the law of the existing military and naval equipment, up to the $1,300,000,000 limit set in the bill. It was pointed out that this amount would come out of the seven billion total, for as soon as $500,000,-00say, of aid had been sent from existing equipment, the army or naVy would be reimbursed that amount, and would then be able to purchase replacements. The rest of the $7,000,000,000 will go into purchase contracts for eventual aid to Britain, Greece or other nations which are opposing Nazi aggression. These contractual obligations must be on the dotted line by 1943, but can be carried out through lend-spend-gi- ve strip-croppi- form, is the production of the regular farm crops in long, relatively narrow, straight, parallel strips placed crosswise of the direction of the prevailing wind without regard to the contour of the land.

More than 6,000 Italian and Nazi aircraft have been downed, with a loss of about 2,200 British airplanes, the air ministry said, since the beginning of the war. This, it was claimed, is a significant and important inroad into the first-lin- e strength of both air armadas, but a more severe blow to the Italians, with about 1,500 planes downed, than to Germany, with about 4,500 put out of action. The naval chiefs in London emphasized the British need of ships, particularly naval vessels, paid a glowing tribute to the work of the 50 former U. S. destroyers obtained in swaps for bases, and one authority said: We have enough trained men to man the entire U. S. navy, if Jit could be turned over to us. Not that he meant, he said, that the navy should be turned over, but he pointed the manpower that Britain has trained, as compared with the available ships. As to the effects of air raids on London and other British cities, the loss of life again was becoming heavy. Guardedly it was disclosed that Buckingham palace again had Portsmouth was a been struck. and there was attack object, special heavy loss of life there. STRIKES: Grow Apace As labor troubles multiplied in the United States, in defense and nondefense projects, including the huge bus drivers walkout in New York, it was reported that William S. Knudsen finally has been driven to draft industry considering the provision in the powers of his office as production- manager to end the affair, among - Allis-Chalme- rs others. Increasing concern was shown by production chiefs in the national defense when figures showed a 27 per cent increase in strikes during the past 30 days. This gave a disquieting tone to the situation over and beyond any single disturbance or group of troubles. Some of the danger spots were in the Midwest, some in the East. strike was past The a month and a half and still deadlocked when Miss Perkins sent John R. Steelman, head of the conciliation service, personally to direct a effort to end the trouble before invoking the draft of industry, which would take over the plant, thus instantly outlawing the strike. Several plants of the International Harvester company were down because of strikes, the vital coal anc steel industries were in, the midst of threatening conferences between worker and employer, the Brill plant in Philadelphia was down, holding up a big ammnition order for shel casings; there was an auto strike in Oakland. Statistical review of the situation was headache enough for production chiefs, the number of strikes in Janary as compared with , December being 220 as against 160, and the 220 became more ominous when it was shown that the five-yeaverage for January was only 170 and for December only 126. lost in January toTotal man-day- s taled 625,000 as against 400,000 lost in December, and here the figures on past years was more favorable, as the average of man-day-s lost in January was '1,012,665.

TURKEY: Scene of Bombing Dramatic was the entrance of for- Pattern No. mer Bulgarian ambassador from England, George W. Rendel, into Turkey after his flight from Sofia. Rendel and his staff walked into the lobby of the Pera Palace hotel. There was a flash, a roar, and the cries of wounded and dying. The smoke cleared away to find Rendel still unhurt, several members of his staff wounded, and two men killed, one of them a Turkish secret service man assigned to guard the amin all, were bassador. Twenty-threwounded by the blast, which badly wrecked the room in which the crowd was gathered. But, as in the Munich bombing which Hitler escaped, the chief target of the Turkish bomb, Mr. Rendel, was unscratched. His aides said there was no doubt that it was a deliberate attempt at assassination, and its occurrence at the very time when Turkey was debating, its position in the expected forthcoming invasion of Greece by the Nazis, served further to entrench Istanbul on the front pages of the press. Rendels attractive daughter, 20, who was standing near the blast in the hotel lobby, told the story in a few words when she said: As far, as I could tell, the floor just flew She is a calm soul, having up. driven her father through the streets of Sofia during the German occupation in an automobile flying the Brit- Z9034.

It was later revealed that an attempt was made to blow Up the train on which Rendel and his party were traveling to Istanbul. This was proven when it was found that the handbags which contained the explosive had traveled on the train with the Rendel party, but failed to go off. The Nazis denied that the bombs had been planted on the train, saying the Rendel baggage had been loaded under the eyes of scores of Gestapo agents. However, British sources later replied that another unexploded bomb had been found in baggage unloaded from the train. , JAPAN: Peace Move Whether it was under the frowning menace of Axis guns, both in the West and in the Far East, or whether it was sincere, but noteworthy, at any rate, was the statement issued by the (French) government following the ratification of the peace treaty with Thailand (Siam). In this peace treaty Japan was the peacemaker and mediator. Back of her mediation efforts, however, was a huge fleet which was moved into waters off French a during the height of the Thailand-IndChinese war. Reports from Saigon, when the peace was finally terminated, giving Thailand huge slices of territory along the borders, were that the peace was more satisfac' tory than the French government had hoped for. It was stated that in Saigon it. was expected that even larger cessions of territory would have had to have been made if Japan had not intervened. Immediately Foreign Minister Matsuoka announced that he would shatter Japanese precedents by taking a trip to Europe to confer with his Axis partners. Von Wiegand, writing from Shanghai, saw. in this project a chance that Japan would seek Axis, particularly Nazi mediation in an effort to end the Japanese-Chines- e war.
