REA Plans Three Year Expansion For Rural Electrification
REA Administrator Claude R Wickard outlines a three year program to bring electric service to 1 329 000 farms and rural homes. Private power firms oppose the plan while wartime restrictions ease and loan terms are improved. The REA aims full regional coverage and cites competition with private utilities as a hurdle to efficient rural service.

Soil Is Key To Future Says Wolfe In Linn County Talk
Emerson Wolfe of Marion, a district SCS conservationist, told Linn county young married folks at the Roosevelt hotel that America's future lies in soil. He urged a three dimensional farm appraisal focusing on soil depth, not just acreage, and noted price per acre isn't a measure of soil quality. Wolfe illustrated his talk with Holland and Asia photos from his tank corps service. Forty couples attended the dinner organized by Marion and Cedar Rapids hosts. A planning committee for the February meeting of the group includes Barnehart, Booth, and Wassmer.
