Ripe tomatoes ,"vine rum" can be
rurchased In East Fairview, N. D., for
rs cents q bushel. That Is the going
price In the irrigated area Of the
Lower Yellowstone valley on the west
ern edge Of Mckenzie county.
One hundred miles away on the
western bank Of the Missouri river
and the eastern edge Of Mckenzie
county, H. J. Houser Is getting six
cents q pound for "slicers" and $50
q bushel for what tomatoes remain.
That contrast. offered by one North
Dakota county brings sharply into
outline both one benefit Of irrigation
and the fact that extensive irrigation
forces farmers into crops other than
market gardening.
The answer, Of course, Is that every
one In the Yellowstone valley irrigated
area has ample garden produce Of his
own, whereas Houser Is the only per.
son In western Mckenzie county who
has tomatoes to sell.

Irrigation Would Cut
Price of Some Items

Bend really has two gardens, one
irrigated and the other dry-land. The
dry-land garden has produced some
fine melons but the irrigated garden
has produced more melons per acre
and they are Of better quality.
Ben1i had intended not to irrigate
one Of his big patches Of cucumbers
but when they began to dry out he
moved his pump and put water on
them. The result, he said, IL better
quality and three times as many cu-
cumbers as would have been the case
without additional water.
Tomatoes Hard 10 Raiss
Benzi's tomatoes didn't do well. A
wilt affected them and he has only
q few to sell. Houser did better with
his tomatoes but these two experts
agree that tomatoes are Q difficult

atoes out Of their calculations except

buildings where the panic bolts on the
exit doors couldn't be budged BY a
horse, not to mention a dozen where
FIRE escape doors were padlocked while
classes were in session. I've seen ami
tors who thought the FIRE extinguishers
in the hall were insect sprays i prin-
cipals whose idea of a FIRE drill was to
notify the pupils ten minutes in ad-
vance that one was to be staged -
even board of education superin-
tendent who forced the resignation of
fire chief who dared point out the
Aagrant hazards in his schools.
I've gone through a city of forty
schools to find nearl Y 200 inexcusable
life hazards such as the excessive
storage of gasoline in the buildings;
thirty defective emergency doors, and
the like And after each new shock |
thank God that we are so lucky!
To be sure, there are lots of schools
where the factor of luck has been
minimized by including approved FIRE
control principles. Once in a New
Hampshire school while the students
listened to fire prevention talk, a
blaze in the basement was extinguished
by sprinkler without the knowledge
of anybody but the Janitor.
What contrast to the experience
of Camden, S. c., where fire starting
during the commencement exercises
ran up death toll Of II!
In one instance luck failed; in the
other they refused to depend upon
luck at all. Yet there aren't thou
sand schools in the whole country
equipped with automatic sprinklers.
"The buildings are hreproof,' is the
explanation. But the contents aren't -
and neither are the pupils.
Even though you paid million dol
lars for your school, it's fire trap if
you haven't got fire control built into
it - and the security of your children
depends upon luck. And luck changes.
If you dislike the sound of that, have
a group of competent engineers make
fire inspection that will show whether
your schools are fire safe and what's to
be done if they aren't. With the whole
summer ahead, there is ample time to
correct grievous hazards which may,
if your luck changes, spawn a disaster
worse than the Texas catastrophe.
Evening star., 1937-04-25

IN the reams of fact and opinion
written about that Texas school
disaster in the past few weeks, one
rudimentarv detail has been be-
clouded by the sheer pathos of it all.
If the explosion had occurred fifteen
MINUTES later few, if any, would have
died. If it had come an hour earlier -
before the lower grades had been dis
missed - the life loss would have been
double what it was.
Since then parents in thousand
cities have thanked God that their
children are not sub ject to the hazards
of a school situated in the middle of
an oil field. But to those parents |
want to repeat what | have been say
ing during twenty years of school IN
spections: the factor which has spared
US more tragedies like that in New
London - the factor which made that
one so terrible - the factor which
sooner or later will give us another one
like it - is dumb luck.
With two-thirds of our schools FIRE
traps, we have FIVE school fires day
in this country. Yet the main reason
WHY it took until 1887 to convert one
of them into wholesale slaught
house is the whimsical fact that four
hfths of these fires originate when the
schools are not in session.
Dumb luck, in short. Remember
that cold fact when nervous inquiries
in your city evoke the stock assurances
that "our school buildings are the last
word in construction" or I'VE have
excellent fire drills twice month.
Both statements may be indisput-
able. Yet | can count at least Us
school fires where damages have ranged
from 100000 to more than million
- and buildings must be pretty nearly
"the last word" in order to roll up such
large losses! Likewise | can recall
such graphic cases as the Peabody
School, in Massachusetts, which had
rehearsed its FIRE drill only the day
before a blaze claimed twenty-five
lives or the unforgettable Collin
wood case, in Ohio, where 17o lives
we're lost before my own eyes despite
the fact that pupils were marching out
in drill formation - until they en-
countered door which wouldn't open!
I've seen brand-new, million dollar
