CRESTED WTIEATGRASS
GIVES BEST RESULTS

MISSOULA, February lido not
drill crested wheatgrass too thickly on
dry land is the advice of the Northern
Rocky Mountain Forest and Range
Experiment Station
The 1885 yield of crested wheatgrass
from rows six inches apart was slightly
more, but not significantly greater.
than from adjacent areas where drill
rows were twelve to thirty inches
apart in a test field near Miles City
In 1882, when this field was drilled, APP
proximately five times the seed per
acre was used in the six-inch rows as
for those 30 inches apart The mortali-
ty, as result of the 1884 drought, in
the six-inch drill rows was nearly
three times greater than in the 30-inch
rows and almost twice as great rs for
the l2-inch rows, and the surviving
plants were markedly smaller.
There were a greater number of live
volunteer plants between those rows
30 inches apart than those OF, narrow
err spacing, which indicated that the
crested wheatgrass can maintain
somewhat more dense stand than that
of the rows six inches apart even
under drought conditions.
From all indications, drilling of
crested wheatgrass for range seeding
purposes at the rate of three to five
pounds per acre in rows somewhere be-
tween IL and "a inches apart promises
to give the most economical results in
the reseeding of plowed and abandoned
land for range use. 49,
The ability of crested wheatgrass to
reseed itself is another reason for fav-
oring light seeding as long as the
price Of seed remains at present higt
levels.

Wise Land Policy
Is Highly Necessary
BY L. c. Gray
Assistant Administrator of the Resettle-
ment Administration

lsi5Si5Ldiil diOl ID lIlG I1GSGil1G-
ment Administration
Land--the raw material OF farms,
forests and range--is one of our major
sources of wealth. Hundreds Of thou
sands of rural families are now endur-
ing poverty utterly inconsistent with
American standards of living largely
because of failure to use the land to
its best advantage.
| In areas such as portions of the
southern Appalachian mountains,
where conditions of living are par
ticularly severe, one reason for the
present poverty is to be found In the
history of land use. The forest, which
formerly provided the chief income for
the people of the southern mountains,
was cut off without any care for the
future reproduction of trees. The land
is on the whole too steep for farming,
and cultivation merely aggravates the
problem by encouraging the erosion Of
the fertile soil.
With both the forest and the topsoil
destroyed, the people have become
economically stranded" and their
standard of living has steadily declined.
Housing is very poor, consisting often
of dilapidated, leaky cabins which give
insufficient shelter, and enforce I'M
healthy crowding The food supply is
SO limited that children suffer from
malnutrition, and easily fall prey to
disease. Education is necessarily
limited.
Society must decide whether these
conditions can be tolerated. It is
especially important when we realize
that the poverty Of the rural slums
means the dependence of large numbers
OF families upon public charity and re-
lief. Our objective must be not only
to restore to these people chance to
attain an American standard Of living,
but to make them once more consumers
and producers Of economic goods.
The Resettlement Administration is
buying up tracts Of land in various
problem areas to help restore the nat
ural forest or grass resources which,
if properly cared for, can again pro-
vide employment for local people At
the same time, this work will put stop
to the needless destruction of soil
fertility, which, if permitted to con-
tinue, would make the rehabilitation of
the people even more difficult and
costly.
Families who cannot be employed in
forest work will be helped to move out
of the hills to flat, fertile lands where
they can become self-supporting.
A similar conversion of the land to
better uses is being undertaking in
other areas such as the old forest region
the Great Lakes, the western
plains, and the old cotton belt of the
deep south. Land that is not fertile
enough for farming can be almost al
ways utilized for some other purpose,
like forestry or recreation, or grazing.
The extent of this work, and the long
sine necessary to restore the land, place
il beyond the sphere of private enter
prise. Governmental action is essential
unless thousands Of families are to be
abandoned to permanent poverty, and
great areas OF land relegated TO ruin.

PRECEDENCE FOR
 FEDERAL CHARGE
Accused in Police Court Awaiting Trial in United
 States Court

A weeks continuance was given in city court today to Manuel Faria, B, of 131 River street. charged with selling liquor without a permit, when his counsel, Attorney Thomas McGrath, told the court that he expected his client to be arraigned in federal district court within few days on a charge of violating the U. 8. liquor laws.
 Faria was arrested late last month by members of the vice squad on a charge of violating the federal H. quor laws. He was given a prelim- mary hearing before U. s. Cimmis- sioner Harry Krasow. Then, on Dec. 1, the vice squad visited his place again and arrested him on the state charge when they found him allegedly operating an unlicensed liquor establishment.
 Henry Gagnor, 25, of 4l2 Pied mant street, charged with violating the rules of the road, received a nolle.
 A weeks continuance was given Flames Wartel, 29, of Al Suncrest avenue, charged with breach of the peace.
 A nolle was entered in the case of Fred Klobedanz, 66, of 28 Center street, charged with breach of the peace.

Modern Methods, Cooperation of Officials Bring Out
 standing Health Record to Connecticut

Occupational disease control. sewage treatment and supervision. occupa- tional disease control, ven3real dis- eases, mental hygiene. child and maternal hygiene, laboratory activi- ties, public health nursing. nutri- ton, dental hygiene end the supef- vision and preservatio of birth, death and marriage records.
 while old Man River made e effort to ruffle the calm of a large portion of the state, he found Connecticut citizens united In their efforts and proficient in their training and ingenuity to set up barriers against the flow of disease which usually follows in his wake. As a result of this united front and the strengthening assurance of widespread assistance from all parts of the state, Connecticut came through the flood disaster with very little illness and without case of typhoid.
 For this. and the feeling of SC. curity that Connecticut's health army is ready every day and night as well as in great emergencies to keep up the barriays against disease we should all be thankful.
