S. Knowles, county agent. A large tiumber of farmers have indicated that they would thin out and improve the stand of forest trees, and build fire lanes to prevent damage from annual fires. FIRE BREAKS Under the soil conservation pro gram one unit credit toward the soil building goal will be given for each 1,500 rods of “fire-break” built in forests to control fires. Fire breaks should ge constructed during winter months to avoid the heavy losses caused by fire. FORREST PLANTING Orders for pine and other forest seedlings should be placed at once. Orders placed after December are likely to be returned. The seedlings cost $2.00 per thousand, enough for an acre. A retiun of $4.50 per acre will be given as soil building pay ment under AAA program. MEAT CURING On Friday, November 20, at 9:30 m., E. V. Vestal, extension swine specialist, will conduct a meat cut ting and curing demonstration at the home of J. M. Norton at Bowmore.

The materials would change hands on a lease or mortgage basis to be repaid in kind after the war. Under the plan, planes and guns, for example, would be leased to the British. After the war, if they were still in good condition, tbe Brtish would be expected to give them back. If they had been destroyed, the British would be obligated to furnish this country with equivalent weapons. The President likened it to a man lending a neighbor a hose to put out a fire in his house. He did not go into details about the cost of the plan to the United States, except to say that this.coun- ry had sufficient money to do it In interested circles, the admin! Stratton’s decision to finance Britain’s fight with equipment rather than money was seen as elminating the possibility of a bitter fight in Con gress over the repeal or revision of the Johnson act prcfiiibiting loans to countries in default on previous debts to the United States. It is believed that the legislaton necessary to put the plan in opera- ion can be passed through Congress in much less time than any change in the Johnson act, which also would involve amendment ot. tbe nc^telity Confirmation Unanimously Calif Rev.
