satisfactory moisture conditiins, M
r. Wells, agricultural statistician
of the Bureau of Agricultural eco
nomics, reported.
Cattle in northern Arizona have
suffered, and feeding has been nee
essary in some districts due to
shortages of brouse feed, and deep
snow, but a small calf crop has cut
losses. Cattlemen expected an un-
usually heavy 1887 fall calf crop.
Sheep losses have been heavy in
the Arizona strip and on the
Navajo Indian reservation, but else
where losses have not been dis
astrous. In most districts, sheep
were below heavy snow line before
winter storms started.
Many sheepmen have fed cotton
seed meal to carry their flocks
through.

Bell To Be Sold

YUMA, Feb. 25-(UP)-Sale of
Yuma's territorial prison bell, which
for many years has hung unused in
the Somerton Baptist church, to a

Elmira, N. Y, was the first person
to fly in modern times, according to
a letter of a classmate, William t
BARLEY, Canaan, N. Y. to the Yale

BARLEY wrote:
"Who flew first?
"a bird, of course" would be the
first answer. A second answer would
be Daedalus.' It might also be said
that Professor Langley almost flew
but the common saying is that the
first man to fly, in modern times
was Orville Wright, in December
1908, when he opened terrifying
page in military history. There is
some reason to believe that the first
modern flyer was named A. M
Herring and that he flew five years
earlier than the Wrights.

NEW TREES DUE
FOR DUST BOWL
IN MID WEST

LINCOLN, Neb Feb 26-(UP =
The plan projected in the early DAYS
of the New Deal for q shelterbelt
of trees across the Great Plains
still lives, although the Congress of
1886 appropriated funds only to liq-
uidate it.
At national headquarters of the
Great Plains Shelterbelt here, Act
ing Director Paul H. Roberts and
his staff of administrative assist
ants are planning further plant
ings this spring with emergency
drought relief funds.
The $4,000 appropriated by
the last Congress to liquidate the
project has not been touched.
Since July 1, 1896, the Shelterbelt
administration as received $751;
$50 in drouth relief funds.
Roberts estimated approximate
ly 100000 would be needed in ad-
dition to the $4,000 already on
hand to plant stock now in "heel-
in'' beds at Vernon, Tex; Elk City
Okla: Hutchinson, Kan; Fremont
Neb.: Brookings, S. D.. and James
town. N. D. The 8,193,00O trees ir
those nurseries must be planted
before the project is liquidated.
Tentative plans call for the fol
lowing paintings by states th1'
spring: Oklahoma, 3,700 acres
Nebraska, 5000; Kansas, 2,7oO
Texas, $3.50; South Dakota, 1900
and North Dakota, 1900.
On Feb. /, 757 persons renamed
on the Shelterbelt payrolls. Tina
included relief workers.
The original plan was to plan
trees along 1,1OO-mile front in sr
states of the great plains. Estimate
of cost of such a program ran a
high as $75 100000.
Many of the trees planted last yea
periShed in the extreme heat ant
dry weather. The rate of surviva
was best in South Dakota, where i
was GIL per cent. Other states ant
their survival records were: Kansas
59.5 per cent; Texas, So per cent

PROPOSED SUPREME COURT
BILL MAKES SLIGHT CHANGE
IN STATUS OF THE JUSTICES
Under The Present Law Any, Justice, Of Supreme
#'' Court May Resign At 20 On A Pension
Of Full Pay For Life

Justice Holmes, who resigned at
88 and lived for four years longer,
is the only one who has taken ad-
vantage of this law in recent years
and ne refused to take his pension.
One reason why others have not
done so is that their work on the
Bench is so integral part Of their
lives that they do not like to give 1t
up and go into enforced idleness so
long as they are still able to perform
their judicial duties. ~
Another, though probably less
compelling reason why Supreme
Court justices retain their seats
when they could resign, is that their
pensions would be subject to in
come tax, which their salaries are
not. F'"
/ Always a Member
The retirement bill permits any
Justice to retire from active. service
on the Bench at or after 10, but he
is still member of the Court, as a
retired officer of the Army, and
could be called upon for special duty
at any time. His life tenure is not
impaired by the bill, nor his salary
reduced in any way.
The original purpose of the bill,
which has been considered by previ-
Gus Congresses, was to extend to
the Supreme Court the same retire.
ment privilege now enjoyed by
judges in the lower Federal courts.
The purpose back of the present
revival Of the plan, however, is to
make it easier and more attractive
to some of the older Justices to re-
tire now and SO create vacancies in
the Court which the President could
fill with younger men.
Flood - Dust - Reclamation
Next to the Supreme Court issue.
Washington's interest is centering
upon the extensive project of flood
control, desert reclamation and soil
conservation, which are taking con-
crete form.
The reclamation project, interest
in which has been stimulated by the
recent recurrence of dust storms in
Oklahoma. outlines a long-range
regional project taking in all or
parts of ten states.
The Federal Government the
state governments and local authori-
ties in these ten states would Co
operate to put several million acres
back into grass and develop methods
of protecting settlers on the tillable
lands OF The region and providing
financial assistance to such as might
need it.
Relief of sufferers from the Ohio
Mississippi floods comes ahead Of
projects for the prevention of future
floods. Due to the fact that so much
of the $79o 100000 just appropriated
Tor the w. F. A. and other rellef
