Broad Soil Program For 1938 Is Planned
The 1938 soil program outlines regional targets and farming payments tied to soil-depleting crops and soil-building practices. County committees set per-farm goals for soil-depleting crops and soil-building measures, with payments based on 1.50 per acre, 0.10 per bushel of corn yield, and other credits, while penalties apply for overages or incomplete goals. The plan maintains regional adjustments and continues the 1936-37 framework with added emphasis on grass restoration in the Great Plains.

Me-Saw-Boy Death Mysteriously Treated as Self-Inflicted
Detroit Free Press notes one of the few Indian deaths by own action, Me-Saw-Boy of Isabella county, who after 80 years of white intrusion protested his lands with trips to Washington. He was found dead with a knife in his abdomen, the official verdict death by own action, though Indians dispute the murder claim.
