But there's one essential question every buyer should ask. Do I get my share of the profits? Is it sold co-operatively?

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has announced that, in accordance with his recommendation, a $50, 000,000 wool lean program for wool producers on their 1937 and 1938 production has been approved by commodity credit corporation and the president. The loans, which are to be made available in accord ance with tbe provisions of the ag ricultural adjustment act of 1938, are Intended particularly to aid wool producers In marketing their 1938 clip. The loans will be available to all producers; including, under ap proved regulations, producer-owned pools. The loans on the principal classes of wool will be made at between 15 and 22 cents a pound on a grease basis at Boston. The loans are expected to average ap proximately 17.5 to 18 cents pet pound grease basis to producers, era. The approved program au thorizes loans on 250 million pounds of wool. Producers may ob tain loans on wool stored at east ern and western concentration points with approprlute differen tials based on IJoslon. Loans will bo made only after wool has been classified and warehoused under supervision of the commodity cred it corporation. Not Prlce-Fixlng AAA officials emphasize that the loan 1s not a prlce-flxlnc loan, but a marketing loan designed to pro tect wool producers against the effect of unfavorable conditions in tho wool Industry while tho 1938 clip is moving to market. They snld study of tho wool sltuntion In dicates that present wool prices nro unduly depressed and that the rut oh established would enable pro ducers to mnrket their wool In nn orderly manner nt better prices than they would receive If they hnd to sell all their wool at shear- lug time. In view of the current situation In the wool producing and wool manufacturing industry, the wool loans are naturally on a substan tially higher basis than would be available to wool producers, through their usual credit ' chan nels. With these loans n wool pro ducer can obtuln enough money to pay his current expenses hnd at tbe same time take advantage of any better prices during the re mainder of the marketing sea son. Loan for 10 Months The loans nre to he made for a ten-month period, with the (inul maturity date set at May 31, 1939. Tho loans will bear Interest nt four por cent and will bo without recourse. Although loans will bo made for a ten-month period, producers may sell the wool nl any time hv repay The VOL. I NO. IX Why Commercial Feed? There nro still n fv turkey Ki'uwot'8 who tlou't think It pays to tVtMl "Imushttm feed" to their turkeys. We oTten hear the ex nresftinu "If I had fed nil hought eu feed to my turkeys l wouldn't have made u dime.' This alute ment In not home out by the ex- perleuro of hundreda of growers In this eouiiiy. Many flocks fed i on t'mpqmi feedn returned n net profit of up to $1.75 per bird last year, when nil feed witn bought. Nobody nnwndnyM expects hlekens to lny without feeding en mah. A few years ago. only the roinmerctHl ep producers were using. ork mash. Today nl most every little flock of 50 to, 100 hens has their pkr mash be fore them at nil times. Result they lay plenty of eKus. i 1 if it works on chickens, It un doubtedly will on turkeys. And It has: A trip to the turkey show nt Oakland will cwtvlhcu anyone that commercial feed produces flue turkeys. All the prize wi li ners hail some kind of commer cial feed. Of course wo know a turkey will keep alive and even prow some on grain nnd grass alone. Hut a turkey Is not made like a cow or n sheep, and therefore can't make as good use of cow feed as a cow can, They have a smaller digestive? tract, nnd need tnnre concentrated feed. So If you can get a turkey on the market In six mouths by feeding commer cial feed, he will make you more motiey than If you fed grain for nine months, ror your own good as well as ours, we beg you to feed commercial feed. Theru Is none made better than I'topqun and none that will return you more profit. o- OK DAIRY CHOP lilve the old cow a tittle of the Joy of life.

Inspectors of the commodity credit corporation will classify wool on which loans are made and the corporation will designate ap proved warehouses In which the wool may be stored. These ware house designations necessarily will be In areas where wool is stored In substantial quantities and will not Include all warehouses because of excessive administrative ex penses which would be involved. The official regulations and the necessary loan forms will be pre pared and made available by the commodity credit corporation.

TURKEY STARTER The ever popular nnd efficient I'mpuun Turkey Starter this year will he made In only one grade, a high protein feed made either in mash or pellet form.

LEGUMES ALONE NOT SAFE SOIL HOLDER Legumes form a valuable part of almost any soil-conserving pro gram, but they should not bo re garded as a cure-all for boII ero sion troubles, says C. R. Enlow, chief agronomist of the Boil con servation service. Pure secdlngs of leguminous plants have been found at soli conservation experi ment stations to be considerably less effective for erosion control than mixtures of legumes and grasses. Enlow points out further that not nil legumes are good soil-binders. Soybeans, for example, have " a tendency to loosen , tbe soil a con dition fuvo ruble to erosion dam age.

It gives you oil the hot water you want, just when you wont it, for boths, showers, little washings and big. Why, just the convenience of being able to do a hot water task right off, without any waiting, is worth the little electric water heating costs. In most instances your cost of heating hot water the electric way will be about (he same as your present old fashioned, inconvenient method of heating water with furnace or stove coils.
