Mason, David C. Bradfnte and R. Roy Stoneburner, members of the Greene County AAA Committee. “The purpose of this farm plan is to encourage-fanners to adopt good soil management practices and to aid them in planning their 1940 farming operations so that they may cooperate in the farm program,” they said. Many favorable comments were made by local farmers regarding this farm plan during the,1939 sign-up, The plan shows the approximate maximum farm payments fo r both the allotments and non-allotment farm and methods by which these payment may be earned. A request for in­ spection is also contained together with the names and addresses of own' ers and operators of the farm . ' Community committeemen will meet soon with all’ farmers in their com' munities to explain the 1940 farm program and to complete the farm plan for each farm. In commenting on the farm plan, the committeemen stated- that the 1940 regulations are the same as those last year.

Checks have been mail­ ed for the last quarterly payment to the. school districts, amounting to $19,922,322, in the aggregate, and bringing the total for the year to $49,110,576. During preceding years, these payments were delayed, and each *year ended with a! new deficit added- to the public school deficit which, had accumulated before, the en­ actment of the school foundation law. This year* Ohio is beginning to re­ tire the deficit, and meanwhile the state has assumed payment of the interest on the debt, relieving the school districts of that burden. While there has been some increase ,in rev­ enues, it appears true that the schools and other public services suffered last year because money was being wasted and because little real effort was made to collect taxes which were collect­ able,. This year, "With a general and. wholesale improvement in administra­ tion, waste has largely been elimin­ ated. For the first tiine in many years, ttyjp budget adopted a t the be­ ginning of the year has withstood all tests-r-a mighty fine record which tells its own story, The U.
