Elizabeth M. Blondel describes making decorative chair pads with Early American motifs. Patch designs like a quaint old fashioned flower patch are stamped onto plain pads using iron transfer. Bright cotton prints and small scrap pieces create charming, simple chair pads.
The design outlines are numbered for easy assembly. Patches are cut with sharp scissors, edges blanket stitched, and embroidery uses strand cottons. Plain patches use matching cotton, printed patches use the dominant color for a striking effect. Patch layout measures 8 by 9 inches. Using percale with tiny dots or small check creates a pleasing pad. Finish with contrasting bias binding and several layers of cotton batting for padding. Newspaper advertising brings results.

Washington report notes that the new farm act will largely be nonoperative in 1932 with quotas limited to cotton and tobacco for planting effects. Wheat corn and rice quotas were to be set mainly by departmental edict for this year, with mandatory grower votes not taking effect until 1939. The act’s regulations are intricate as the department absorbs more rules.
The article explains the act's effect on wheat growers with emphasis on the 1938 crop not being controlled. It notes that in July the Secretary of Agriculture will estimate the likely grain carryover to next year, using a hypothetical 200 million bushels.
The plan apportions about 700 million bushels among states and farmers to cover domestic use exports and carryover. If two thirds vote to comply with the secretary's guidance, quotas become mandatory with potential penalties on over sales and offered loans for carryover. Crop insurance is proposed for wheat with premiums settled by growers.
