The plan to stablltae eommerctal vegetable acreage which was part of the farm program in Pennsylvania and other States of the northeast regton ta 1938 wUl be entered into by eommerctal vegetable growers throughout the entire country under the 1939 farm program, according to an announcement by the State Agri¬ cultural Conservation Committee.
ThU part of the program was ex¬ tended to aU eommerctal vegetable areas at the request of eommerctal producers who attended a national conference In Washington last fall. The request was made because of a steady decUne In vegetable prices ta recent years due to the nation¬ wide taerease ta acreage during the past 30 years.
The State Committee pointed out that the program does not aim t > cut vegetable acreage but only to hold It at about present levels. Tlie vegetable allotmenta under the 19.3) program apply only to farmers who normally grow three or more acres of vegetables for market.
AU a farmer has to do In order t ^ take part In this work under the farm program Is to stay within his vegetable acreage altotment as set by his County Agricultural Conserva¬ tion Committee. Tbto aUotment ts based on the farmer's average vege¬ table acreage for 1036 and 1037. tak. Ing Into account abnormal weather conditions, tillable acreage, type of soil, and production faculties. The farmer may eara 91M per acre for each acre ta hto aUotment for staytag within hU vegetable aUot¬ ment and may also earn additional paymenta, as in past programs, for carrying out soU-buUdtag practices such as liming, growing cover crops to prevent erosion, adding organic matter to the soU by plowtag under green manure crops, etc.

Ro&slter.   agent   for  Pennsylvania's Fr^rm Oame Refuges.
Mr. Ro.s.sUer pointed out that be¬ catise of a certain conflict of inter¬ est developed between the farmers and .sportsmen over a period of years has been the chief cause for much n.i.sunderstandlng. The disregard of a very small group of hunters to the rights of the land-owner in tearing down fences. injur>'ing llve- itock and many other objectlonal i offenses committed by this small group was responsible for much of the ' |.osted land today. He slao pointed out that as a means of brlngtag back the cordial relations which formerly existed between the two groups, and at the same time arranging for measures to restore some of the fav. ora ble game habit at which a few :ears ago was found tn abundance, tbe plan for smaU farm game refu¬ ges was cited aa tbe big hope for the amall game hunter. He stated that while a total of nearly 600,000 hunt¬ ers tske to Pennsylvania's fields and woods during the season, about 4S0.- COO of these are smaU game hunters. It ta Important, he continued, that this large majority, who are friends of the landowners, be given the pro- taction they and the land9wners riehtfully deserve.
The small farm refuge, he con¬ tinued, presents a plan mutual to both parties One cannot exUt with¬ out the other If both are to at¬ tain desired reaulta. The farmer must have proper protection and so must the hiinter-sportsman . . . tlie so termed "thief" must lie and can be brought to Justice through the cooperation of the farmer and tbe sportsman.
Mr. Rosslter concluded by show¬ ing motion pictures of farm game refuges already establUhed through- cut several eoiwties ot the state, glvtag those present conclusive proof of what these refuges really mean in the way of conservation and pro¬ tection to the farmer as well as tbe sportsmen. The pictures were shown through the courtesy of Dr. Brazine, who furnUhed tbe projector.
Several contracts for explanation to farmers and landowners of thU com. inunity were left with club members, and tt was stated that more effort will be made by The Nuareth Rod &; Oun Club to have more farm refuges establUhed withta North- cmpton County.
It was also announced that the ktcal club wUl contact the Naaareth Bi-Centennial Committee, asking for permission to have a State gam.> exhibit here durtag the celebration. The next meettag of the club wUl be held Monday Aptil 10th, when ofBcera for the current year wUl be elected and plaiu announced for fu¬ ture activity.

Frack, elected president of the Northampton County Bar Associa¬ tion Tuesday, is complimented on the opinion rendered the County Commissioners last Friday In hold¬ ing that the law and facta do not warrant criminal prosecutions ta the County fee concerning the Unangst. Keim and Nickel case. With sound reasontag. he convinctagly remtaded the CommUsioners that while the payment of monies to the defendants at the time they were made, may have been erromeous or lUegal, tliey did not represent "stolen money," snt on the contrary were made by checks through the regular channeU and that inasmuch as they appear on the records of tbe ControUer no "secrecy" was attached to these transaetlona.
He sounded a note of warntag of Interest to all taxpayers ot this County, when he said: "We should bo vigilant and not depend upon slavish negUgent acceptance and continuance of a long establUhed precedure and custom."
Whether his opinion is accepted or not. public sentiment seems to con¬ sider it wUe to accept his opinion and permit the outcome of the pend¬ ing civil suits to be guided accord¬ ingly. ^
