FORMER ALASKA RESIDENTS PAY JUNEAU VISIT
C. D. Garfield, Former Fed eral Official Here, Wife
 Greet Old Friends

A well-known former Alaskan paid Juneau a visit yesterday He is c. D. Garfield, former Assistant Collector of Customs, who with Mrs. Garfield is round-trip pas- senger from Seattle on the Aleu- tian for a short vacation trip.
 The Garfields have made their home in Seattle for more than 10 years now but they formerly lived in Juneau for many years. They renewed acquaintances with many old friends here yesterday. Mir Gar field was in the collectors office at the time that Gov. John w. Troy was Collector of Customs. He left the Territory to become head of the Alaska committee of the Se- attle Chamber of Commerce, po- sition he occupied for 10 years. For the last two or three years he has been interested in fox fur farming and operates a large farm near Ta- coma. He also is editor of the Fur Journal, publication devoted to fur farming in America, which is published in Seattle.
 Things are looking up in the States, MT. Garfield reports, despite labor troubles that have been es- pecially prevalent in the lumber in- dustry the last few months. The situation apparently is ironing itself out, he believes.
 The fur market is considerably improved and the outlook is much brighter, he reports. Fur farmers who have stuck it out are begin ming to get on their feet again as prices gradually become better. MT. Garfield suggests fur farm ing as a possibility that might be worked out with success at the Matanuska project in connection with the general farming program of the colonists. Properly intro duced, he believes 1t would be es- pecially adaptable there.

FERA to Pay Cash
For Hire Of Teams

Announcement that IS cents an
hour In cash will be paid In the fu-
ture for teams used on FERA projects
was made Thursday by =. A. Wilson,
FERA administrator.
In the past the practice has been to
pay 10 cents In cash and IS cents in
kind. The change was made, Wilson
said, because many farmers are find
ing i difficult to keep their teams in
working condition under this arrange
ment and viii be better able to pur-
chase feed economically in payment
= On IN all-cash basis. It was EN-
phasised that high prices Of feed have
created Z serious condition and that
nany teams are IN no condition to
VogE. Another factor = that It has
been difficult to obtain teams to work
a some projects.
The new system will not apply on
peojects where farmers still are work
lng out past 1eed-relief grants. They
Will continue on the previous basis
until this debt Is discharged.
Z was emphasized that payments
for team hire are over and shove the
budgetary requirements Of the family

Approximately 100000 will accrue

He pointed out such q survey would
be the basis upon which North Da-
kota would eventually develop its pro-
gram.
Dana recommended that the state
planning board be representative OF
the people," be adequately and COM
| petently manned" Its primary duties,
he said, would be to learn the facts.
to correlate such data and to develop
. statewide correlated plan as the
basis Of . permanent prosperity.
1avine Sketches Proposals
Dr.. Irvine Lavine, consultant for
the North Dakota planning board,
sketched recommendations the board
Is making to the national resources
board. Coupled with the state plan
ming board viii Be county or regional
planning boards. Dr.. Lavine said.
Recommendations Of bases for pub
lie works projects were: Inventory Of
present facilities; rural 1oning and
land classification; water conserva-
ton: mineral resources survey: popu.
lation cataloging to obtain . picture
Of social and economic trends over Q
period Of years; transportation CO.
ordination: coordinated public works
program; health survey: stream pol
LUTON and sewage disposal survey:
analyses Of taxation problems; edu-
cation survey; rural housing study.
/ First to set up 4 state planning
board In the northwest was Montana,
Campbell revealed. He explained how
IL men representing economic regions
Of the state met last spring to launch
its program. He described how plans
formulated 1t the state meeting were
carried back to regional and county
meetings where similar boards were
set up.
Sou Productivity Studied
In . series Of 10 maps Campbell
illustrated how problems Of one coun-
ty were correlated. "One study was
made Of the soil. Productivity OF the
soil over period Of Is years was
measured" he said.
"A second study involved discover
ing use Of land at the present time.
A record Of tax delinquencies was
compiled. Ownership Of land was
determined. School districts were
studied from the cost standpoint. As
sessed valuations of property were
then correlated with the results Of
the soil survey. Use Of the land was
compared with soil statistics In the
light Of relief cases. Highway and
bridge construction and maintenance
costs were balanced"
From this study, Campbell explain
ed, It was determined that grazing
lands were being cropped In defiance
Of laws Of nature, that tax delinquent
cies would continue to mount unless
the farming system was altered, that
ownership Of lands would revert more
and more to the political subdivisions
