COLONIZATION BILL MAY PASS
 SENATE, VIEW
Delegate Dimond Says Non-quofa Immigrant
 Plan Doomed

The bill for colonization of Alaska with nonqiota immigrants may be reported out favorably to the Senate by the Committee now considering it, and may even be passed by the Sen- ate, Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond has notified the Juneau Chamber of Commerce.
 But there is no chance, in Di- mond's opinion, for the bill to pass in the House and very little likli- hood that it will even be reported out in the House.
 The Delegate said the Alaska land leasing bill is ''as good as dead for this session"

 New Scheme
Biggest Soil Experiment For Cotton Crops
 Is Undertaken '

TEMPLE, Texas, May 23.-Wind, sun, rain and the things of the earth are mingling in a huge test tube" near here, working out an experi- ment that holds important implica- tions for the entire cotton South.
 For it is in the North Elm Creek watershed that the U. s. Soil Con- servation Service has located the largest of its ITO demonstration projects. The biggest contiguous block of conservation-tr land in the country, 32,00O acres, has been formed out of 167 farms. Four hun dred and fifty other farmers with 1000 acres are cooperating in the experiment. And the results are suf- ficient to make the Soil Conserva- tion Service point with pride.
 Flowed Uc the Grass
 Beginning in 1886, when Texas became a republic, thousands of farmers flocked to the 5000 900 acre Texas Blacklands to raise cotton. They rooted out the native grasses and plowed the land in up-and- downhill furrows. As rains washed away whole sheets of topsoil, the cotton yield declined Then, in 1883. conservation project was started in the Elm Creek district, where 75 per cent of the land was in cotton. Now. the soil conservation reports: l. The acreage devoted to cotton
 has been reduced to 38 per cent
 of the cultivated land.
 2. Eroded land has been placed
 under protective grass cover
 3. There has been an increase of
 Is per cent in livestock-cat-
 tie and sheep - because now
 there is feed and forage.
 4. Almost 5000 eroded aces, for
 merly in clean-tilled crops or
 lying idle, have been converted

 School Budget Is Higher
 One of the increased items nec- essitating higher tax rate is $11,- 900 in the school budget for the next scholastic year.
 The present state of municipal finances is so low the Mayor and Council at their meeting decided to undertake no new fixed expenditures this year.
 Accordingly, the recent proposal to increase police force salaries from $200 to $225 for the chief and from SITS to $2O0 for patrolmen was dis approved. &
 Regular Workers Dismissed
 The dismissal from regular em- pioyment of street and sewer main tenance workers was ordered. Tn the future, such workers will be em- ployed by the day as needed.
 The budget for the current year has been upset by the high cost of sewer maintenance. About $13,OO0 not anticipated when the budget was made, has been required for Keeping the sewer system open. ats
 This sewer trouble was caused by freezing, frost being conducted dur ing the winter through soil that had been filled in and settled with water last fall, just before the beginning of cold weather -'+s .tst tt

 They Follow Round" Farming
 And, most important, round farming has displaced square" farming, in which furrows corre- spond to boundary lines no matter how the land sloped. Today, on 32,000 acres, the rows wind around the slope on the contour or level, regardless of boundary lines. Be- tween the intervals of open-row crops lie strips of fibrous rooted plants such as small grain, sor- ghums, or sudan grass. Thus, run off water from the clean-tilled rows is filtered of any soil it may be carrying. ''7
 The pastures are contour -furrow- ed and contour-ridged to hold back the water. While boundary mark ings are retained, the furrows and strips move from field to field as required by good conservation prac- tice.
 The Soil Conservation Service at Fort Worth reports that farmers outside the Elm Creek area, having seen the success of the project, are now petitioning for the formation of a district covering 750,000 acres. It says that, with notifications, the pattern established at Elm Creek is applicable to the whole cotton South.

MODEL CITY FOR
| US. COOPERATION
Hamilton, Ohio, Is Given
That Award - ReCOnl-
mended to Others

Hamilton, O., July 25-(UP)-
This manufacturing city of $4,000
population received word from the
war department today that its
Hamilton Plan" was being recon-
mended to all communities as q
model for municipal cooperation
with the national defense program.
The 43 Hamilton industries which
employ Is or more workers had con-
tributed on pro-rata basis to a
fund which will be used to reim-
burse members of the Hamilton
company of the Ohio national guard
for the wages they will lose when
they receive three weeks Of training
In August. The smaller industries
contributed about 81 each. The
fund in all amounts to $4,700.
The employers had guaranteed to
hold open the jobs Of the guardsmen
while they are training and had
pledged themselves to provide jobs
to all unemployed members of the
Hamilton company when their train
ing is over, provided they are rec
commended by their superior officers.
As result Of this encouragement,
the Hamilton company has been re-
cruited to full strength and there Is
q waiting List. Captain A. D. File,
commanding. has so much power
available that he was planning to dis
charge the older men to the reserves
In order to accept the younger and
stronger men.
This was but one phase Of the
Hamilton plan. The Junior Associa.
ton Of Commerce was raising money
through entertainments to grade,
level. and purchase equipment for
the Hamilton air1ield and make 1t
acceptable for military uses. The
Chamber OF Commerce had worked
out O plan whereby the local indus
tries would cooperate IN training
machinists needed for national de-
tense industries. The local american
Legion was organizing to aid the

combating subversive activities.

A new and inexpensive way of
obtaining indirect lighting in the
home has turned up. The whole
thing is done with the bulb. which
is silvered so as to shield the fila
ment from view and convert the
bulb itself into what is actually a
self-contained indirect lighting fix

bowl of the bulb, acting as a re-
Hector. The principle of sealing
the reflector makes it dustprOOf
and adds to the lighting efficiency.
In spite of the high quality of
light it gives. silvered bowl bulb
5 surprisingly low in cost.
In larger sizes, the silvered
bowl lamps have gained wide use
in offices. schools and stores, but
only recently have they been of
fered for home use in small sizes.
These silvered bowl bulbs can be
used in any room. With the addi-
ton of very inexpensive adapters
and modernizers, they offer a par
ticularly easy way of restyling old
fixtures to give modern indirect
light. Such ligting equipment is
