That Is Inference Given Fol- lowing Unsucces ssful Meeting Today in
 San Francisco
SUGGESTION MADE
 BY HARRY BRIDGES,
 PRESIDENT OF LILA
Disputes Would Be Submit~ ted to Relations Board Committee Meantime
 Then to Judge

SAN FRANCISCO, Gal, Jan. 28.-The Maritime situa- ton is thrown into another deadlock.
 Union adviser H. P. Melni- kow made this announcement after a meeting of the long shore leaders and ship owners. He said the meeting failed to make progress on the jurdis- dictional dispute and the "sit- uation is completely dead lock. 1 cannot see why the ship owners failed to accept a req sonable offer that the men re- turn to work under the 1884 award pending settlement of disputes"
 PrOpOSai
 Observers expressed the belief that Melnikow referred to the proposal made by Harry Bridges, President of the Coast ILA that the men re- turn to work and place their disputes in the hands of a joint Labor Relations Com mittee such as was set up un. der the 1884 award.
 Bridges said: "We have gone as far as we can. This is a reasonable proposition"
 Up To Sloss
 Under the terms of the 1884 award, if the committee failed to reach a settlement of the disputes, then t h e issues would be laid before Judge M. c. Sloss, arbitrator who aided in settling the 1884 strike.
 Only 2 Issues
 Such a labor committee waH set up under the 1884 agree ment. Should the proposal be accepted, two questions still remain unsettled, the check CTS demands and the wages and hours for the ILA.

HOUSE MEMBERS URGE PROGRAM
 FOR AIR FIELDS.
Fourth Division Represen- tatives Back 900, ,000
 Dev elopm e nt Plan

Urging President Roosevelt and Congress to continue with pro- gram of airfield development in AL aska and particularly to carry for ward the proposal which has been recommended calling for an expen- allure of $2,900,000 to that end Representative Victor Ross and Dan Green of the Fourth Division introduced a memorial in the Ter ritorial House this morning. The memorial cites the urgent need for better air transportation facilities in the Territory as a means of de- veloping mining and other indus tries.
 Four other memorials were offered in the House today. George Laib- lin of the Second brought in two, one asking for a road from near Mile AS on the Nome-Shelton Tram to the Iron Creek mining district, and another urging further naviga- tion lights in the Kotzebue Sound area.
 Green and Ross of the Fourth urged road from Tacotna to a junction of Nixon Fork, a distance of about 16 miles, to serve the mining communities of Tacotna, McGrath and Canes Creek, and Representa- tive Leo Rogge of the Fourth, in- troduced a resolution on the same subject but providing for an appro- priation of $30,000 for theswork.
 Immediate construction of court house at Anchorage is asked in a memorial to Congress by Ed Coffey and Dan Kennedy of the Third. Ef- fort was made to get immediate ac- tion on the proposal, but after it was read in full it was decided to send it to the Municipal Affairs committee first for study It con- tained long telegram from offic- ials in Anchorage pointing out that the present building is reported un- safe.
 Three bills were tossed in the hop per. Green and Ross of the Fourth introduced a measure which pro- hibits the throwing of garbage or waste matter on any highway or within 300 feet of any highway. This would affect the Juneau City garbage dump on the Thane road which is right at the side of the highway. Rogge of the Fourth of fered bill which would amend the old age allowance law to make maximum payments to both men and women $45 per month. The present law now limits it to $35 for men and $45 for women.
 A Similar bill to one which caused much controversy last session was introduced by H. H. McCutcheon of

TACOMA, Wash. Jan. 28-A rail- road tower watchman, hearing the screetching whistle of 40-car Great Northern freight train speeding at 60 miles an hour through the city when the air breaks on the last 28 cars failed, switched the train onto long siding
 Trainmen quickly went over the tops of the cars and applied the hand brakes, thus stopping them.
 The train, in the wild dash, roared over six grade crossings, includ- ing the city's main thoroughfare.
 Only by the watchfulness of the tower watchman was perhaps a ma jor disaster averted.

JUNEAU c. OF C. OPPOSES DIMOND
 BOND MEASURE
Jones Law Suspension Also Voted Down After Steam
 ship Co. Agent Talks

By a vote of approximately two to one, the Juneau Chamber oi Commerce went on record opposing the passage by Congress of the bill introduced by Alaska Delegate An thony J. Dimond which would per init the Territory to incur bonded indebtedness up to $2,000,000 fol public works, the theory of the bill being that the Federal government would match the sum in develop ing transportation facilities with the aim of greater development.
 Recommendation that the bill be opposed was brought in by the Leg islative Committee made up of Allen Shattuck, Walsteon Smith and Howard Stabler. MT. Shattuck chairman of the committee in ex- plaining the recommendation, said that industries of the Territory were now taxed to the limit and that costs of government were rising. He ar gued that if taxation was increased to pay off the bonded indebtedness 1t might tend to drive industries from the Territory. He declared himself opposed to the Territory going into debt, particularly, he said because of the rising cost of gov ernment.
 Denies Motion
 Effort was made to table the mat ter until next meeting to permit A. H. Mcdonald. Alaska Steamship Company agent, more time to talk on the Jones Act matter before the Chamber, but President George w. Folta ruled the motion to that ef- feet by A. E. Karnes out of order.
 Arguing for the Dimond bill, James J. Connors declared that there was a great deal of talk by the Cham Der and others for developing All aska and for more home rule but that nothing much was done about it except talk until such time as an action pointing toward development, such as he described the Dimond measure, came along and then it was opposed.
 MT. Connors pointed out that It was a poor argument for more home rule and for development if the Ter ritory failed to take some steps to show Congress that it was interest ed in the matter itself. The first

LIKE STRIP FARMING

More and more farmers are shift
ing from old-fashioned farming
methods that encouraged soil erosion
to conservation farming practices
that save the soil, says the Soil Con-
servation Service. A few years ago,
some farmers needed lot of en-
couraging to make the shift, but now
they are beginning to alter their
practices without any urging at all.
For example, one farmer cooperating
with the Service in South Carolina,
recently requested change In his
agreement with the Service to allow
strip cropping of II acres of his farm
not required by the contract. Obser.

farms had convinced him of the ef.

essential in some areas to encourage
growth of white clover. However,
an inch or two of growth is about the
limit for closeness for grazing. I'm
dergrazing is undesirable because it
allows the growth to become too
coarse and stemmy resulting in poor
feed, and it encourages growth of
weeds.
Use of manure or complete fer
tilizer is advocated in addition to
growing of legumes in the process CT
bringing badly exhausted pasture
oack to high productivity.
1t is suggested that, in order to
get immediate benefit from pasture
fertilizotion program without too
much initial expense, complete ferti-
llzer in recommended amounts should
be used on one pasture, field, or en-
closure each year. That will pro-
vide early grazing, and the residual
effect of the application will return
an additional profit for several years.
However, the area so fortified
should be fenced so grazing can be
!! managed. and controlled.
The improvement of pastures is
one of the best methods of conserv-
ing the soil. Without improvement,
including the use of lime and fertili-
ger, pasture soils wear out just as
cultivated soils do, though not as
fast.
Fortunately, this essential soil con-
servation can be effected at no net
cost, since the increased yields of
feed will repay the cost of treatment
and show profit almost from the
outset.

HOW TO GET MORE FEED FROM
PASTURES

1.-The cost of feeding cow on pas
ture is slightly less than 10 cents a
day, while the cost of feeding the
same COW in the barn is 38 cents a
day." according to- number of sur
yeys made in New York State as re-
ported in the January-February issue
of The Fertilizer Review, published
by The National Fertilizer Associa-
ton. 1.-THE saving of % cents per
cow per day in the case of pasture
feeding emphasizes the Importance OF
lengthening the grazing season by
producing earlier grazing in the
spring and, if possible, later grazing
in the fall"
The article continues, "The ques-
ton is: What is farmer to do about
it if he has no pasture or only poor
one? Will it pay to fertilize and re-
seed If necessary-and make really
good pasture?"
The most conclusive answers to
these questions are to be found in
the results obtained in 80 actual
grazing tests male ON dairy farms
in 16 states in 1880. In each OF
these tests, like areas of not less than
acres each, one fertilized and one
not fortified, were compared on the
basis of cow-days grazing and milk
production. The results showed that
the number Of cew-days grazing per
acre was doabled by fertilization.
This resulted in more than doubling
the milk produced on each acre and
also in doubling the receipts per acre
above the cost Of supplemental feed.
The profit ON each acre due to ferti-
5 lizer was found to be $32.36. Few
silage or hay crops show as large an
average profit per acre as the average
from these 80 pastures.
At the Louisiana Experiment Sta
ton it was found that a .op-dressing
of 400 pounds of complete fertilizer
produced yield of 6,152 pounds of
grass-hay per acre, while the yield On
unfertihzed land was only 1868
pounds per acre.
On "a pasture experiments in Ohio,
complete fertilizers produced an
average yield of $685. pounds per
acre. The unfertilized areas produc-
ed only 2.494 pounds per acre.
Grazing management, soil conser-
walton, and the use of fertilizer are
recommended practices in pasture

grazing is advocated for dairy farms.
