MOSHER Farm plans have the same importance to the farmer as an architect's plans and specifications to a building contractor. Because of the farmer's knowledge of his farm and its productivity, he is in a better position to do his own planning than anyone else. A farmer who makes his own plan will understand it, appreciate it and enjoy putting it into operation. Five distinct steps in farm planning present themselves from the standpoint of the farm management specialist. First is the making of an inventory of the physical resources of the farm; second, setting up a long-time land-use plan as a goal towards which to work; third, fitting the live stock program to the needs of the farm; fourth, planning the marketing program and estimating expenses, and fifth, outlining the transition from the present plan to the new plan. Any plan is not likely to be perfect in all its details, but if it provides for some improvement over the present plan or over no plan, it will be worth while. The revision of the plan may be necessary from time to time because of new. solutions to old problems, changing conditions and emergencies. Twenty years experience in studying farm accounts in the department of agricultural economics at the University of Illinois is the basis for this treatment of the farm plan. High-Quality Eggs Bring Good Prices Consumers who want high quality graded eggs are willing to pay more for them when they have assurance that the eggs really are of high quality, say egg-marketing specialists of the agricultural marketing service. While the relatively higher prices charged for better eggs might be expected to discourage consumption, just the opposite has been true in states where egg grading programs have been followed. According to the egg-marketing specialists, consumers of the better grades of eggs appreciate two features of a well-conducted grademarketing system. They are assured of the superior quality of the better grades, and of the quality that comes with the purchase of a product properly handled from the time it was graded to the time it reaches them.

Mat. 3 p. m. Continaoos Jefferson's Home Ten years after Jefferson's death, Monticello was purchased by U. P. Levy, U. S. N., who bequeathed it to the nation. His will was contested and the late Jefferson M. Levy, New York congressman, bought off the other heirs and restored the building and estate to their original condition. In 1023 the Thomas Jefferson Memorial foundation was incorporated in New York for the purpose of purchasing Monticello and maintaining it as a national shrine. A formal contract was entered into with Mr. Levy for the purchase of the property at a price of $500,000, and legal title to it, including 640 acres of land and numerous Jefferson relics, was taken^x Decgmbtr 1, 1923. Simple Erosion Controls Will Check Small Gullies For small gullies--those less than three feet deep--comparatively simple erosion controls are recommended. Large gullies and those with extensive drainage areas usually can be stabilized only by using a combination of protective measures. The first step in gully control is to keep as much runoff as possible out of the gully channel. For this purpose, retarding water draining into the gully is often enough, but in some cases a diversion ditch just above the head of the gully may be necessary. Once the retention or diversion measures have been applied, control of the gully becomes much simpler. To protect the channel from further scouring, use adapted vegetationgrasses, vines, trees, and shrubs wherever .possible. Structural devices are recommended only to help establishment of vegetation or to provide permanent protection at points that cannot be protected in any other way.

Many poultrymen now hatch chicks in fall, winter, and spring. • • • Ten million young men and women between the ages of 16 and 24 now live on farms or in small villages. Two million farm boys and girls migrated to cities in the decade 1920-29. ' • • • A cow will eat almost anything. Out in California they are making cull oranges into silage and feeding this to their cows. Out in Washington they feed cull apples to cattle, while in the East, some dairymen feed them fish meal and meat scraps for protein. Antique Melodeon A 100-year-old melodeon, the tunes of which once led many -- Mennonite prayer meeting and church service, is now owned by an Iowa farmer near Des Moines. Approximately the shape of a modern, low cabinet piano, the melodeon has a piano-like keyboard and is played by pedal-operated bellows which auction air past tiny metal reeds. The owner, D. J. Showalter, received the antique from his father, , a minister. -iss Katherine Matlock has been declared National Hardware Wiieen by the thousands of hardware retailers in festivities celegprating National Hardware Open House, April 25 through May 4.

This Is especially true When the subject is a landscape, a scenic view, a building, a street •cene, or similar material with Quite a bit of detail. Your frame ifcan T>e a doorway, a Window, an arch, a garden gateway ^Surmounted by a trellis, or any Other opening of suitable slse. It Heed not always be complete; tor Example, a tree framing one side and the top of a soenie view may t>e sufficient. After you choose a subject, look about and s^e if there Is not Bome suitable framing device at hand. Often It will not be evident at once --but It is usually worth a search.
