lies under all else. The second pur
pose is to aid in restorin°: and
maintaining the incomes of tarn
people to a level more nearly a;
! they were in the pre-war period.
“To accomplish the first purpose
the procedure is based on the fact
that some crops and farm prac
tices tend to wear out or destroy
the the fertility of the soil, while
other crops and practices restore
and maintain the land. The bene
fits from soil improvements are not
confined to land owners and op
erators. In the aggregate, such im
provement has a profound relation
to community, county, state, and
national welfare and security.

Foremost Highflyer, 1935 Grand Champion Jersey Bull.
Ouned by A. H. Com, The Oaklands, Ann Arbor, Mich.
T HERE ARE PLENTY of Jersey bulls in America, but only one
among all the thousands, stands out as National Champion.
Foremost Highflyer won 1935 honors at the National Dairy
Show, St. Louis, Mo.—a magnificent creature to which Nature
gave the vital spark, the perfect natural balance of all the elements
that go to make a champion. Wonderful top line, great body,
fine neck, shoulders, big barreled, good on his legs—Foremost
Highflyer had everything!
Most bulls are just bulls, average strong, average good, but just
plain ordinary bulls. There is only one Foremost Highflyer. He
stands out the King of them all—the champion.
The champion bull is Nature at her best—one of Nature's
wonder creations. Favored by Nature, with her priceless gift of
perfect natural balance, the champion is almost beyond price,
while another bull that may look a little like him—well, he’s just
bull, that’s alL
And here is another wonder-creation of Nature—Natural
Chilean Nitrate. Like the champion bull, Natural Chilean is
favored by Nature with that priceless gift of natural balance—
natural blend of many elements such as boron, calcium,
manganese, etc., over and above its nitrogen. Nature gave the vital
spark to this nitrogen fertilirer by blending into it these vital
impurities. Nature herself aged i:, cured it . . . that’s why Natural
Chilean is the natural food for your crops.
Natural Chilean contains almost two score of major
and minor elements such as boron, magnesium, manga-
nese, iodine, calcium, tmtassium, etc.—each a vital ele
ment in growth and healthy development of plants.

Better Homes And
Garden Week
To Be Observed
April 26-May 2
Better Homes in America, an
educational institution for public
service of national scope, has been
taken over by Purdue University,
where it will function in coopera
tion with the Purdue Housing Re
search Program. Frank Watson,
who is Housing Director of the lat
ter, is its new Executive Secretary.
Miss Elnita Harvey has accept
ed the Chairmanship of the Mc
Cormick County Better Homes
Committee for the 1936 Cam
paign, which will culminate in
the observance of National Better
Homes Week—April 28th to May
2nd.
Better Homes in America is not
a new organization, although new
ly located at Purdue University. It
was initiated in 1922 by Mrs.
William Brown Meloney in response
to suggestions made by President
Harding in an address in Akron,
Ohio, in 1921. In one year it as
sumed such proportions that it was
organized on a national basis with
Herbert Hoover, then Secretary of
Commerce, as its President and
Dr. James Ford, of Harvard Uni
versity, as its Executive Secretary.
The work was financed from pub
lic gifts, and the institution was
incorporated for the purpose of
education and public service with
headquarters in Washington. D. C.
In 1932 the main office was moved
ts New York City, where it remain
ed until the fall of 1935.
The aims cf the movement are
to emphasize the importance of the
home in our national and com
munity life, to encourage thrift
for home ownership, and to give
helpful suggestions regarding the
selection and building of the home,
its equipment and management.
Good houses make it easier to
have good homes. Thoughtful cit
izens have, therefore, organized
throughout the nation to arouse
local interest in home improvement.
Better Homes Campaigns will be
carried on in the future as they
have been in the past. The Nation
al Office is located on the Campus
of Purdue University at West
Lafayette, Indiana, and from this
office will emanate suggestions,
plans, bulletins and letters of as
sistance and encouragement to
each of the many local Committees
throughout the United States. The
usual programs include lectures
and discussions of problems of
furnishing the home, the arrange
ment of furniture and the renova
tion of it, the planting of grounds,
as well as problems of small house
architecture, home ownership and
finance.
Publicity, home improvement
contests, and exhibits are other
features of such programs. Wher-
.'■pring. the demonstration of a
house, planned and furnished for
a family of modest means, showing
t^e best that the community can
offer in home comfort, conveni
ence and beauty at a cost with
in the reach of this income group.
Prizes or Certificates of Award are
usually offered to Committees
which put on the campaigns show-
'7 ihe most effort, best planning
and results.
Fe'ter Homes in America, as a
result of its transfer to Purdue
University, will this year partici-
oate in the larger advantages to
be derived from functioning in co
operation with the Purdue Hous
ing Research Program. This pro
gram is dedicated to study and re
search in home and community
problems, and will place particular
emphasis on the medium and low
income groups.
The necessary preliminary work
for a comprehensive home and
community research program in
rational living is now under way.
This year the Purdue Housing Re
search Project is undertaking the
erection of eight or ten experi
mental houses of different types,
built under a strict cost analysis.
These houses will be occupied,
tested under actual living condi
tions, and detailed records will be
kept. Soon after the completion of
these houses, construction will be
gin on others. Eventually this will
evolve a community of homes so
ever possible they also include, designed, constructed and equipped
in tl
4- A .-x V A O 1 ^
housing for persons of average in
come.
In conjunction with this program.
Better Homes in America is initia
ting a new and more complete In
formation Service for the general
public. The findings, descriptions,
and floor plans for the experi
mental houses will be made avail
able in booklet form to be distrib
uted through this Service. Well
illustrated articles by prominent
educators and industrialists in the
housing field will be included in
the Service, which was inaugurat
ed on January first. Each month,
thereafter, at least two bulletins
of uniform size and of timely in
terest will be ready for use. They
will fit an attractive loose leaf
cover sent out with the first bulle
tins, and will comprise a complete
home information file.
Another phase of the Service in
volves the solution of special prob
lems. Every home owner and pros
pective home builder or buyer will
be interested to know that his
questions w’ill be carefully and
thoughtfully answered by a group*
of highly trained scientific work
ers, principally from the staff of
the University, who are well quali
fied to give expert advice.
