for practical demonstrations.
Wide Stretches Treeless.
In this school room" the annual
rainfall is heavy and in some places
the creviced, treeless hills stretch
away farther than the eye can see.
Preliminary to their actual task,
T. v. A. engineers kept records Of the
precipitation for three weeks in Feb
ruary, a normal period, and found
the rainfall on the Norris Dam water
shed, If impounded, would have COW
cred $1,000 acres to a depth OF $50
feet.
AT one point on the Powell River,
near the Kentucky Tennessee line"
said Chief Forester Edward C. M.
Richards, I'VE found a ditch 25 feet
deep and half mile long which had
dumped approximately 100000 tons OF
dirt into the river, forming a large
delta"
Four thousand members of the Civil
ian Conservation Corps are employed
on the reclamation projects. Their
process is to build rock and log dams
across the gullieS, level the ragged
land as much as possible and then
plant black locusts, walnutS, yellow
poplars, pines and cedars by the
millions.
Far down the river. in Alabama,
1000 other workers are engaged on
similar undertakings around Muscle
Shoals and the Joe Wheeler Dam.
Model Forest Set Aside.
And, for the benefit Of the sight
seeing public, a 2,000-acre model for
est has been set apart near the town
Of Norris to demonstrate Just how
forestry management should be con-
Quoted.
Along with the planting, the
workers are seeding the land in grass,
honeysuckle and kidzu vines. Rich
ards figures those growths will spread
quickly and serve to check erosion
materially by the end Of next Summer.
A longer period will be required for
the trees to prove effective. However.
he believes their growth will have an
chored the soil permanently within
four years.
The natives general indifference to
erosion struck the chief forester forci-
bly,. He told of one farmer who
Dragged:
why, I've got the best gullies in
East Tennessee. They keep my cows
in the field and save me from build
ing fences"
For the most part, the mountain
eers were skpetical and even hostile
at first, Richards related. In one
community the residents went armed
with shotguns for several days after
Civilian Conservation Corps camp
was located in their midst.
A change in attitude wasn't long
in coming, though, and now the Au-
thority finds cooperation throughout
the mountains.

VARIED FESTIVALS
Garden Week Observed by
State-AppIe Blossom
Fete This Week.
BY the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, April o.
Springtime was play time in Virginia
this week with the music of hundreds
of voices and the flowers of scores of
gardens lending their beauty and fra
GRANGE to home folk and visitors.
At Charlottesville thousands partici-
pated in the Annual Choral Festival,
featured by a chorus of 1000 voices
while throughout the Old Dominion
other thousands paid their Springtime
visit to the States historic gardens.
Garden week in Virginia, an annual
custom, drew the largest crowds on
record, State Chamber Of Commerce
officials said after checking reports
from show places throughout the
State.
Hot Springs, where champions were
crowned in mems and women's divi-
sions Of the State tennis champion
ship, put its house in order for an en-
tire week Of play with the Old Domin-
ion golf tournament to start Monday.

Leaders in the historic Virginia gar

Thomas Jefferson, 800 tourists attend
ed on the first day Of the celebration,

Rockefeller is turning the calendar
backward to the eighteenth century,
crowds we're the largest on record.

Governors palace, reconstructed as it
was in the days when the Old Do
minion was a British dominion.
Among other show places opened
throughout the State was Chatham,
where Robert E. Lee wooed and won
his bride, and which he later spared
from gunfire when his troops were
camped south Of the Rappahannock
River. Ash Lawn, the home of Presi-
dent Monroe, and Gunston Hall, near
Alexandria, the home of George Ma
son, drew hundreds of visitors.
With John Powell. internationally
known composer, as the guiding spirit,
the Choral Festival at Charlottesville
drew music lovers from all sections
of Virginia and from neighboring
States as well. The 1,000-voice choir,
drilled In weeks Of practice, was d.
rected by T. Terttus Noble Of New
York. The choir was accompanied by
the National Symphony Orchestra of
Washington. directed by Hans Kinder.
Industrially the State was welcom-

Honor to Be Paid
"MOther of Navel
Orange Industry
California Pageant to Re.
call Mrs. Tibbets Who
NOuriShed Trees on
DishiUater.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RIVERSIDE, Calf, April 28.-A
prim little woman who planted two
trees here 81 years ago, nursed them
on dishwater and left them to become
a rich heritage for Southern California
will be honored next Friday.
The woman was Mrs. Eliza Tibbets,
mother" of the navel orange industry.
In preparing for pageant in her
honor. the services Of a surveyor were
necessary to locate her neglected and
flattened grave. Now a memorial
structure at the spot is being planned.
Huge Development Shown.
From the two saplings Mrs. Tibbets
planted here sprung trees covering
nearly 100000 acres that last year
produced more than 14,500,000 boxes
Of navel oranges.
Citrus fruit growing has developed
into the States largest agricultural
industry, ranking second only to oil
as an income producer annually.
Oranges were raised in California
before Mrs. Tibbets planted her trees.
Some varieties were introduced by the
Franciscan fathers as early as 1859,
but the superiority Of the navel var
iety first turned attention to the COM
mercial possibilities of the citrus in
dustry.
Originated in Brazil.
Mrs. Tbbetts got her trees from q
friend in the Federal Department Of
Agriculture, which had received IA
from a missionary In Bahia, Brazil.
The other 10 were lost to history.
Water being scarce, Mrs. Tibbetts
carefully nursed and tended her two
trees for three years, using dishwater
to keep them alive. Then they bore
such luscious, seedless fruit that buds
from her plants became eagerly sought
by nurserymen. Eventually, planting
became widespread over the State.
One Of the parent plants still Is
producing normal crops Of fruit here.
Given to the city in 1902, 1t was trans
planted to q small special park at the
head Of Magnolia avenue, where 1t
and the bronze tablet telling its his
tory have been objects of interest to
visitors from all over the world.

It Is considered likely that such a

FLEET IN SURPRISE,
WAR-L|KE MANEUVER
Rush From Atlantic to Pacific
Through Canal Without
Advance Notice

Cristobal, Panama, Oct. 24.-(R)-
The United States fleet Is rushing
from the Atlantic to the Pacific In
q surprise maneuver.
Without advance notice, the fleet
sped into Limon bay Tuesday night
In total darkness and then awoke
terminal cities With = blaze Of lights.
A hustle Of activity, reminiscent Of
wartime followed as the passage
through the Panama canal began.
Officers, it was said unofficially,
hoped to complete the transit OF
80 ships in less than 40 hours. as COM
pared to the Pacific Atlantic cross
ing of ITO ships in ~ hours In q
spectacular test last April.
Local army and navy departments
denied they had information to the
contrary. but investigations showed
preparations had been under way for
some time for the transit. Appar-
emily it was all part Of the war
stimulation.
The destroyers, Ellis. Bernadu and
Dupont completed the canal transit
at $50 a. m. They began 1t ct l0:4o
o'clock Tuesday night.
Twenty-eight destroyers then went
through the locks followed by cruis-
ers.
The entire Canal Zone was the
scene OF the elaborate maneuvers
about which officials declined any
information. All army units were
mcbili3ed. Men at the Atlantic Sec
tor headquarters were working
Throughout the night.

largely to indications Of dubious

grain markets Wednesday moved

A majority Of wheat traders here
based their market action on reports
that rust had developed In Argentine
wheat, and that the result as to crop
damage would depend on weather de-

q reason for 4 surprised advance Of

current that with No. 2 red wheat

to carry this variety Of wheat from
