Wickard Speaks
• (Cohiihuea from page one)
plies at a fair price, while it helps
to assure the farmers of a fair re
turn on their products.,
“A less tangible blit perhaps
even more vital result of the farm
program is the accomplishment of
farmers of all states and all regions
in achieving national farm unity.”
1 Wickard explained his position
to the audience as the job of see
ing the whole national picture and
coordinating it. Research, he point
ed out, has for many years been
carried bn by the state colleges.
/Me lauded the service provided
by Penn State and said: “Prom the
beginning this service has been
rendered primarily in the class
room, but the contribution of your
state college to Pennsylvania ag
riculture has gone far beyond that.
Through the research work of your
experiment station, and through
the men arid women in your ex
tension service, this classr ooriis arid
the laboratories have been taken
to practically every farm and
farm h'oirie in the United States.”
Particularly, Wickard praised
the work the College has done
with dairy herds, livestock, poul
try, potato and wheat growing, its
soil fertility tests, and its studies
of marketing methods and general
marketing conditions..
. Wickard pointed out that 70,000
Pennsylvania farmers had partici
pated in the AAA program and
this, he said, boosted the farm in
come in Pennsylvania to 265 mill
ion in 1939 from 177 million in
1932.

Father Dresses
For Dad's Day
It’s a man’s world for a week
end even to the matter of clothes
so papa deserves a few tips on
what the well-dressed campus dad
will be sporting on October -5.
Gray is a favored suit color this
season worn with a white or
faihtly-striged shirt with brdihary
flat-pointed collar. Maroon or
winfe tie aiid socks complement
thte outfit which may be com
pleted with either brOwn or black
shoes.
Tweeds and browns come iii for
their share of praise especially
when worn with green or tan ac
cessories and brown shoes. A
matching handkerchief in the
coat pocket will do a lot toward
making anyone a campus
smoothie.
Felts cut in the traditional man
ner are most popular for Fathers’
hats, but those with an eye for
youthfulness wiil brighten them
with a tie-matching hat band.
For the ardent of amateur
golfer we boast a beautiful course;
and a sweater wbn’t be amiss if
you have any inclinations for the
game. :
Ih case of winter, which hag
pens so quickly here, better bring
along your topcoat and pigskins.

'lnventory' Asked
For Forest Land
“Continuous inventory” of those
American forest lands which may
be intensively managed, such as
farm woodlands and community
forests, is advocated by Donald t).
Stevehsori and feahs Arthur Meyer,
of the dejiartih'eht of forestry.
Such inventory, leads to an ac
curate control of volume, yield,
and increment, they believe.
Describing a management plan
recently drawn up for the 492
acres of farm woodlands at the
College, Professors, Stevenson arid
Meyer said that under their system
three men could inventory 25 acres
a day.
Once the preserit condition of
the land is ascertained, the gdal
is to make the annual cuts in such
a way that the actiial growing
stock will be transformed into a
normal growing stock capable of
producirig an adequate amount of
tiiriber of the best possible quality.
A six-year cutting arid planting
plan ‘ has been drawn tip which
lists thevareas to be Cut each year,
they announced. These cuttings are
balariced, of course, by the current
ihcremerit.

f ftohianfic Appeal'
Of Mines Sfressed
Too many coai miners are trying
tb educate their sons “away from
the mines,” warns H. B. Northrup;
director of mineral industries ex
tension at the Pennsylvania State.
Coliege.
In doing this; thby ignore the ro
mantic appeal of mining. “Just
as the men who man the sHips “at
sea today come mainly from a long
line of seafaring families,” he said,
“so the men employed iii the minbs
of Pennsylvania are the desCeiid
ehts, of long generations of
miners.” w •.
The mining communities are the
logical recruiting places for nbw
miners, ahd there is greater need
than ever for early training; said
Northrup. Sixty per cent of all
mine accidents; he explained are
caused by ignorance or careless
ness, ahd this condition can be cor
rected only by techhical training in
the increasingly Complex and
mechanized methods of modern
mining.
Too often, Northrup commented,
yotihg then iii mining communities
who migrate to the cities, learn
after thrbe or four yearfc that they
■are c’bmpetirig in- ait unfamiliar
skilled dharket; and finally return
to work ill the miiies of their home
town. “In the meantime, howbvhr,
they have lost valuable timb in
which thby cbuld have been learn
ing the techniques oi mining,” he
pointed out ... ...
