In addition to homesteading, funds may be used for the acquisition of forest lands for the benefit of the whole community, or for loans to improve home and farm equipment. Funds also have been utilized for awakening interest in farm ownership through the provision of general education in proper farming methods and advice in selecting suitable crops. Under the homesteading program, an application is approved by the pastor and three elders of the church, with the prospective owner agreeing to cultivate the land and raise crops. Starting modestly, the program has grown steadily. Pres" egpBper.) SWITZ. With President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Marshal Stalifl scheduled to meet soon, there again has been a resumption of discussion as to the future disposition of Germany. On the basis of the latest information, the Reich might well be reduced to half of its 1938 size, with (1) France claiming the area west of the Rhine river; (2) a restored Austria obtaining Bavaria; (3) Holland being compensated for flooded land; (4) the Russians and Poles dividing East Prussia;. (5) Poland receiving Pomerania and part of Silesia, and the Breslau area going to Czecho Slovakia. PACIFIC: Bloody Science EUROPE: Big Push drive against the launched an all-oenemys west wall, moving forward toward the vital industrial Ruhr and Rhineland despite wintry weather. Although they had anticipated a general offensive, the Germans conceded the Allies superiority, stating that until their vaunted new weapons could be delivered to the front, their troops would have to rely on their spirit to stay in the ut fight. As the Allied attack got underway, the British 2nd army striking in southeastern Holland stood only 37 miles from Duisberg; the U.

S. troops plodded forward on Leyte island in the Philippines, Gen. Douglas strategy unfolded. With the enemys main forces compressed on the northwest corner of Leyte, General MacArthurs tactics pointed to their annihilation by the prized military maneuver of engaging them from the front while sending other units to cut them off in the rear. Thus did the 24th division move to press the enemy frontally, while the 1st cavalry and 96th divisions pierced the mountain ranges to the southeast in a drive to enttap the Japanese from the rear. Meanwhile, U. S. airmen kept a close eye on the important port of Ormoc, through which the Japanese had previously sent reinforcements to help their troops holding out against the American advance. Manila Bay also came under the bombsights of U. S. airmen, with carrier-base- d craft hitting at this important nerve center of enemy shipping for the entire Philippine area. In one strike alone, 11 Jap cargo vessels and oilers went to the bottom. Mac-Arthu- rs WOUNDS: Greater Recovery Agriculture In the News J.

The wild varieties have proven satisfactory for drying. They can be successfully drietj by being placed on wire trays, one layer deep, and having a rapid current of warm dry air passed over them. The same equipment used for other dehydration will prove satisfactory. Many, who live near wild mushroom patches, might be able tto gather far more than needed for immediate consuiv'tion. When thoroughly dried they will keep in good condition for several years. They can be sold dry to stores or restaurants or kept for winter home use.
