To help prevent disastrous soil depletion through using up of all the 'stored-u- p fertility for one tremen dous harvest, a fund of 300 million dollars has been made available by congress to assist farmers in carry ng out growing practices that will not only increase production immediately, but will also keep the land ;n condition for another high-levcrop in succeeding years. Direct ayments from the Agricultural Ad-- ; ustment agency will be provided in some cases, while in others needed materials will be supplied, such as ime, phosphate and seeds. Because of the variation in prac ices adaptable to the different grow--: ng regions, state and federal agenin working out cies will an approved list for each state. The rate of payment will be determined jy taking into consideration topography, soil, climate, conservation needs in the specific area, and the importance of each practice to production. Farmers will receive payments, as in the past, in proportion o how well they follow the practices for their farms. Increases in yields per acre of crops in all parts of the country during recent years have been particularly marked in those sections where materials have been generalFor example, bely distributed. soil improvement fore the Triple-com yield avthe program began, eraged 23.5 bushels.

His name on the roster will draw thousands of cash customers who havent paid a great deal of attention to the Lions during the past.' The 1942 Season The Lions, who finished last in the league last season, losing all 11 league games, were privileged to take first pick in the annnal college draft, which was held last Jnne in Chicago. Sinkwich may not have what it takes to be a standout professional player. There have been plenty of big names in college ranks who failed in their professional careers. In fact, most of the top professional teams consist of individuals who never bothered going to college. They figured, and quite logically, that a college degree wasnt at all necessary to success on the professional circuit. But chances are good that Frankie will become a valuable asset to the unfortunate Lions. Any team that loses all of its seasons games can use very handily the services of a name player. He may not do so mnch toward Improving the teams league standing, but he should help the treasury. And when a player helps one club, he helps the entire league.

By J. Millar Watt Agricultural Notes Manager Joe McCarthys men are even happier over the 1943 World Series schedule, which calls for them to play the first three games in Yankee Stadium. The Yankee players and the New York fans think the schedule gives the American leaguers a big advantage over the St. Louis Cardinals.
