Washington Farm News URGES WRITTEN LEASES t TRAPPING INSECTS IN AIR SEEK BITTER GRASSES . I The Farm Security Administra tion's national survey of the pro gress of farm families it is. assist ing shows that those ranting their farms are making decided headway in their tenure status. In the past, more than 80 per cent of farm renters operated under oral leases. But 81 per cent of the 161, 496 tenants in the FSA rehabilita tion program covered by the sur vey have written leases. These tend to stabilize them on their farms ahead. Many of these written leases are based on the Farm Security Ad ministration's flexible lease provid ing for arbitration of disputes be tween landlord and tenant, reimburs ing the tenant for permanent im provements, and other features of benefit both to landowner and ten ant , More than 40,000 of the F. S. A. tenants have written leases provid ing for more than 1 year of tenure which encourage balanced livestock and cropping programs to conserve the soil instead of "quick cash" and soil-depleting crops which tend to go along with short tenure. The survey showed that during the past year 26,800 of the famil ies had made a difficult step up the - economic ladder by advancing from sharecroppers to tenants. In addit ion, under the Bankhead-Jones Act the FSA has made loans to almost 7,000 tenants for the purchase of farms of their own. Pioneer work by Federal entomo-' logists in collecting insects from the upper air by means of traps mount ed on airplanes started as early as the summer of 1926 when P. A. Glide made the first of a long series of collecting flights using a trapping device which was improved repeated ly' in the course of the experiments. Results of these flights aroused scientific interest in what has come to be known as aerobiology and has indicated the need for further defin ite investigation, entomologists be lieve. They think that insect col lection over seas and oceans and at a distance from land might clear up questions as to whether destruc tive insects can and do enter the country by flight or drift across broad expanses of water. Col. Char!e8 A. Lindbergh coop erated with the late F. C. Meier of the Department of Agriculture in studying plant spores and micro-or ganisms/and Colonel Lindbergh in vented the "sky hook" or trap used for this purpose. Mr. Meier lost his life in the wreck of an airliner over the Pacific while on a collecting trip. Amelia Earhart was using the Lindbergh trap on the plane when she was lost. - Under the National Research Council, research in this field has been organised under the Committee on Aerobiology which is arranging for cooperation of scientists from the universities and Government bureaus, and flyers as represented - by the commercial airlines, and the Axmy and Navy aviaiors. Grass breeding is "catching up" with research on other economically important pant crops, reports M. B. ... 3;;? ? iein, pastor*specialist of the Fed-1; ?ral Bureau of Plant Industry. Grass jj ong has been recognized as thel! rheapest of livestock feeds, but un-h il' recently little attention was giv-|| m to better grass trains through jreeding. Department forage special-j< sts cooperating with various State!; sxperiment station have shown thatl; grasses can be improved by breeding^ is much as field crops.
