S. Commission Washington, p. United States Civil Service Commission says that numerous letters received at its off ice from different parts of the Country indicate that misleading information is being given to the public by agents of some of the correspondence schools which give instruction in preparation for civil-service, examinations.

To guard against the loss of money paid for tuition of this kind the Civil Service Commission informs the public as follows. No one can promise appointments to positions -for which the United States Civil Service Commission holds 'examinations. The claim that such assurance can be given brands the person making it as a fraud. Information, regarding examinations for thS tlnited States Civil Service may be obtained from boards of UnjWd States Civil Set- vice There is such a board in each community which haa a post office of the first or second class. In nearly all cities the civil service board is located at the post ofice.

Before paying money for tuition, or signing a contract, it is advisable to make inquiry concerning the prospect of examination. There is reason to believe that agents of some schools deceive the public as to the probability of early examinations. No school has advance information regarding the need for employees or the probability of examinations. I CORN ACREAGE FOR 19S5 TO PERMIT BUILDING RESERVES All of corn needed for the 1935 season could be produced, under normal weather conditions, on 85 or 90 million acres of corn land. But the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, in its efforts to balance corn production with requirements, hai, in its 1935 program, allowed for replenishing depleted reserves of corn, according to R.

K. Bliss, director of the Extension Service at Iowa State College. The 1935 program calls for 95 to 100 million acres of corn, Director Bliss said. This acreage will produce, at normal yields, about 2,500,000,000 boafcels. The extra 10 million acres, at that rate, will provide about $50 nullioii bushels of corn for reserve supplies.

It is estimated that a corn crop somewhere between 8,200,000,000 and 2,300,000,000 bushels will be adequate, assuming that there will be no material change in the volume of corn required for purposes other than feeding. Under the terms of the 1935 conT tract, farmers may plant up to 90 percent of the acreage planted in th United States in the base years of 1932 and 1933.
