The rate is determined by the state committee for each state and approved by the secretary In South Carolina this cannot exceed $2 per acre. . ; What is the rate of the soil-build-' ing payment for following approved soil-building practices? The rate is determined by the state committee ' for each state and approved by the secretary. How does the acreage in soil-conserving crops affect the soil-building payment? There is no payment on acreage in soil-conserving crops; but the acreage in soil-conserving crops will increase the soil-building pay^ ment, provided the rate of the soilbuilding payment (as recommended by the state committee and approved by the secretary) exceeds $1 for each aere planted to soil-building crops._ To whom will the soil-building payment be made? To the producer whom the county committee determines. in accordance with instructions from the secretary, to be the person who incurred the expense with reference to soil-building crops or practices. Where two or more producers are thus determined to have incurred the expense, the soil-building payment shall be divided equally between them. Hints for April Work In The Home Garden Clemson, April 13?All garden work thlH year has been delayed by the cool wet spring, but a* soon uh weather and soil conditions permit the home gardener should go ahead with cultivation and plantings to produce an adequate supply of vegetables for family use, says A. E. Sehilletter, extension horticulturist. The horticulturist repeats the advice of food specialists that to be healthy Sand strong and active we should eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, and he giyes timely recommendations for spring garden work. "Vegetables that were planted in February and March, such as beets, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, kale, lettuce, mustard, peas, spinach, etc., need to be cultivated frequently and thoroughly with a wheel hoe," advises Mr. Sehilletter, "and they should be given a side dressing of nitrate of soda scattered between the rows. "In order to have an unbroken supply, n\ake another planting of the vegetables planted in March. Transplant tomato, sweet potato, eggplant, pepper to open field after April 15 "Make plantings now of the following varieties: Beans: Giant Stringless Green Pod and Bountiful. Pole Beans. Kentucky Wonder, McCaslan. Lima Beans: Henderson Bush Lima or Wood's Prolific, (pole) Carolina Pole or Seiva Bean. Squash: Early White Bush, Giant Summer Crook Neck. Cucumber: Improved White Spine, Green Prolific Pickling. Okra: Perkins, White Velvet. Corn: Stowell's Evergreen, Country Gentleman, Golden Bantam." In conclusion the specialist reminds that we can kill us many weeds and pulverize as much crust In an hour with a wheel hoe as we can In at least three hours with an old-fashioned weeding hoe. l)r.

President ItooHevelt hud placed before the nation today a broad outline of the New Deal a position on the major problem of unemployment, Amid the cheers of supporters who had gathered for a Democratic rally after an old-time torchlight pa rune last night, Mr. Roosevelt called on youth to be "social pioneers" and help "bring under control the forces of modern society." Devoting most of his address to a discussion of continuing karge scale '! unemployment, the president promts- i ed that it would be attacked "from every conceivable angle." Hut it was bis suggestion for limits on the wageearning life span that aroused much discussion ami speculation today. liaising the question whether it is not "possible and right to limit the activ.e working uges at both ends," Mr. Roosevelt said: "Work out for yourselves what would happen if all the boys and the girls of 14 and 16 and 16 and 17 who are now working in industry, found it possible to stay in school until they were at least 18 years old. Howmany jobs would that give to the young people of the -nallon who have graduated from high school and from college? 'In the same way, ask yourselves how many jobs would be cheated if the great majority of peo^MTwho are now over 65?to take u figure at random?were in a position to retire in security for the balance of their days on earth." Mr. Roosevelt did (not Indicate whether the administration is planning specific proposals along these lines, beyond the social security and other programs already enacted. But he did indicate that the New Deal, despite the invalidation of NRA still hopes to attain certain of that experiment's objectives. He said the goverment "must and will give consideration" to shorter hours, stability of employment and "adequate minimum wages." Again he called on industry to "undertake reasonable reductions of hours per week, while, at the same time, they keep the average individual's pay envelope at least as large as it is today."' High-placed Democrats in congress and the executive branch sat on the platform in the huge armory here as Mr. Roosevelt addressed his words to members, of the young Democratic clubs of Maryland gathered for a Jefferson birthday celebration and to a nation-wide radio audience. In the light of flaming torches, accompanied by bands mid the tramp of troops, the club members had come to the rally in a four-mile march thru Baltimore streets. Vice president Garner rode in an open automobile in the procession, followed by Speaker Byrns. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Postmaster General James A. Farley and other leadertf^ The president's speech was studied today as ek text for many a Democratic campaign, speaker in the months to come. He started with a discussion of youth's problems, saying: "Flaming youth has become a flaniing question. And youth comes to us wanting to know what we propose to do about a society that hurts so many of them." Ridiculing the Idea that the confidence and prosperity of 1928 would "cure everything," he said "1928 was no mlllenium." "You and I know the simple fact that while production was increasing and profits were increasing in 1928 and 1929, unemployment was growing at an astounding rtjte. . . . the best that the captains of the country and the captains of industry could do for you before the depression was not good enough then and it is not good enough today" Production, he said' is about back to the pre-depresslon high point, 'but employment is only about 80 per cent as great. But he emphatically rejected predictions of a "vast permanent army of unemployed," saying "no man who Is sensitive to human values dare to accept" such forecasts. la urging industry to shorten hours, he cited a case as an example. In a certain manufacturing industry, he said, hours were curtailed under NRA until they averaged 36.4 per week at the time NRA came to an end. "Since that time," he said, "the groat majority of employers in this particular industry continued the old NRA scale of hours. But gradually, first a few and them a larger number of employers began lengthening the work week. The result today is that the average of employment in this industry is 39.9 hours per week. 'But not serious difference, you say. And yet if you figure it out on the assumption that there were 166,500 men and women In this Industry,-10 per cent or 16.650 people have either lost their jobs or, by working longer hours, are preventing 16,650 other people from getting employment. Ac -feetlv the records.'-"Bftow that 1,400 people lost their Jobs and 15,250 other people were kept from getting work." I^ater Mr. Roosevelt launched Into a discussion of the "casualties of depression." "8ince 1929," he said, "those cas _ .ualties, in America, liave?run. into the millions. They are & charge upon ue as a people. 1 have recognised that fact. And. by every reasonable Eg , v. - saw 9^I I~~rT~"V " ;'-n- t. means, wo have sought to care for 1 those casualties?to keep them from ' the physical suffering of hunger; to i keep them from the mental suffering of a loss of morale. ij "In regard to all these problems there are cousellors these days who Bay: (Do nothing); other counsellors who say "do everything." Common sense dictates an avoidable of both extremes. I say to you "do some thing"; and when you have done that' something, if It works, do it some more; and if it does not work do something else. < "And you young people want ac-,| tion. You believe, as I believe, that! the something which needs to be' done, can be dome. And how slgnifl-1, cantly American it 1b to believe that. "The vigor of our history comes, largely, from the fact that, as a com- 1 paratlvely young nation we have gone i fearlessly ahead doing things that I were never done before." FOXES FEA8T ON PIGS | Farmer# Sustain Serloua Loaa From Depredations of Foxes. G I Furmors of Hoverul sections of Sum- ! ter have reportod within recent weeka ? thut they have lost quitp a largo number of piKs from depredations of foxes which are so numerous and hold tHat they ure becoming a serious post. The foxes invade pastures and lots where bows with newly farrowed pigs ure quartered and carry off the little porkers. It has become necessary to take special precautions to protect the pigs by enclosing them in fox-proof pons or houses. One farmer Htated that in addition to stealing pigs and poultry the foxes have damaged his potato plant beds, digging out the sprouting potato slips, carrying them off into the woodB, and burying them as dogB do with bones. A steel trap, set on the potato plant bed that had been raided several times, accounted for one of the foxy marauders.?Sumter Item.

If you will look around, you will see the men are the moat able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hardest. Don't fear of killing yourself by overwork. It la beyond your power to do that on the sunny aide of thirty. They die louietlmeB, but It's because they <0 quit work at 6 p. in. It's the Interval ^ that kills, my son. The work gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation of a holiday. There are young men who do not work, but the world la not proud of them; It simply spoaks of them us old So-and-Bo's boy. Nobody tikes them; the great busy world doesn't know that they are there. So find out what you want to be and do and take off your coat and make dust in the world. The busier you are the less harm you will be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep, and brighter and happier yonr holidays, and the better HntlBtiod the world will be with you.? Exchange.

I* "The Ford V*8 uses less fuel and . oil for the power it gives than any other car we have ever made AND ITS UP-KEEP COST IS THE LOWEST" ENTHUSIASTIC sales talk often begins and ends with gasoline mileage. Some salesmen would like you to believe it is the whole story of automobile economy. But drivers ought to know better. For, the fact is, it's way down the list. The big items of car economy arc low first cost, low up-keep cost and low depreciation. * Savings here can make a great deal of difference in cost per mile. Gasoline mileage is more of a talking point than an economy factor. Check up and you will find that the ? ? difference between 17 and 19 miles a gallon is less than $10 for a whole year's average driving (8400 miles at 18 cents a gallon). Here are the big items that make the Ford the most economical car: More value for every dollar you pay. Lower cost for repairs and service. Long life. Slow depreciation. Quality means economy and the 1936 __ Ford V-8 gives you more real quality than any other low-price car. No other car under $1645 has a V-8 engine. No other low-price car has Center-Poise Riding, safe, sure mechanical brakes and Safety Glass all around at no extra cost. I C. A li/f A\TnrU WITH USUAL LOW DOWN-PAYMENT, BUYS ANY NEW FORD ?
