BORDER RULES
ARE EXPLAINED
PASSPORTS REQUIRED FOR CA
NADIANS ENTERING UNITED
STATES
Purpose Is to Prevent Entry of Persons
Whose Presence Might Be Inimical
to Public Safety, Says Department of
State Officials.

Montanans, Inc, has been in
formed by A. NJ. Warren, chief of
the visa division of the department
of state, that new regulations re-
quiring Canadians entering the
United States to carry passports,
"is to prevent the entry Of persons
whose presence might be contrary
to the public safety" Warren has
explai ned that compilations
would arise II the requirement Of
obtaining passports and visas should
be imposed upon some but not all
of our neighboring countries which
have in the past been exempted
from such requirement"
The letter continues, "You are as
sured that every effort consistent with
the desired close supervision over the
entry of aliens into the United States
will be made so that the freedom of
movement across the border will con-
tinue with as little Inconvenience as
possible; Visas,, valid for any number
of entries within the period of one
year, will be issued to Canadian citi-
zens without cost. Every effort will be
made to facilitate the issuance of visas
AS you know, we have large number
Of consular establishments in Canada,
and it Is contemplated that additional
offices will be opened.
Finally, it is believed that border
traffic, which consists largely of per-
sons holding border Identification
cards. will not be greatly disturbed,
as such persons are not required to
apply for new visas under the new
regulations
Americans wishing to vacation and
visit in Canada may continue to do
SO as they have in the past. In ex-
planning the Canadian policy of an
"open border" for citizens of the United
States, the British Columbia govern
ment travel bureau at Victoria points
out that it is wise for Americans to
carry with them some positive means
of Identifying themselves as United
States citizens or legal residents of
this country. 1t Is not unlikely, that
with the enforcement of the new pass
port regulations the American immi-
grafton authorities will require proof
of citizenship of Americans returning
to the United States after their stay
in Canada.

chards, pastures and numerous field
crops is being employed on a steadily
growing number of general farms.
There are three general types of ir-
flgation: Surface, subSurface and
spray. The first of these is subdivided
INTO furrow, flood and porous pipe
methods; the second into ditch and
pipe systems, and the last into reyoly-
ing sprinkler, low-pressure perforated
PIPE, overhead pipe sprinkler and eye
let hose types.
Complete information on the various
systems OF irrigation, the conditions
under which each is preferable, and
whether or not you can use it at a
profit, can be obtained from the United
States department of agriculture, your
state college or university, your power
company or the manufacturers of ir-
rigating, and pumping equipment.
AS 1t is economical, dependable, quiet
and requires little or no attention, an
electric motor is the ideal source of
power for irrigation where nighttime
electricity is available. On those farms
which do not yet have electric service,
a tractor can be used. However if it
is too powerful for the job at hand, to
avoid extremely high power costs and
rapid deterioration Of equipment, a
gasoline engine of the correct horse
power should be installed. Whatever
the power, the use of irrigation for
crop insurance should be carefully con-
sidered by every farmer whose income
has been affected by drouth.
Glacier County chief., 1940-07-19

Many farmers feel that the ONLY
purpose OF irrigation is to meet a
normal and recurring deficiency of
rainfall in arid and semi-arid sections
OF the country. However, each year
more and more are coming to realize
that, with the occurrence and recIr-
renee OF drouths in many other areas.

orally is sufficient rain is not only
financially sound but also often ahso.
lutely essential.
In such humid areas, irrigation most
often is profitable and necessary
Tor crops that are costly to produce,
have short growing seasons, are quick
~ perShable when matured, and are
appreciably affected by short periods
OF inadequate rainfall The danger of
losing the value OF the great amount
OF labor as well as the cost of fertilizer
necessarily expended upon special
crops Is greatly leSseHed if not entirely
eliminated by the installation of an
adequate irrigation system. Then, too,

|NYA BUDGET
FOR 1910 CUT
MONTANA'S SHARE OF NEW AP.
PRoPRIATION s272,41s; LAST
YEAR IT WAS 100000
Reduction Is Due to Allocatisn Of
Funds Among States on Basis Of
Youth Population; Programs to Offer
Basis Work Experience.

Montana's share of the S67,884,-
900 NYA appropriation for the out
of-schOol work program for the
fiscal year 1871 will be S272,419,
according to word received by
James b. Love, state youth admin
same program for the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1910, was 100000.
Under the provisions of the act
which authorizes appropriations to the
national youth administration for the
fiscal year, all funds for the NYA
the several states on the basis Of youth
population. This is the cause of q
reduction in the ALLEGATION to Montana
and a number of other western states
which will be required to operate on
reduced budgets, while many eastern
and southern states which are more
populous will receive increases
Love announced that the Montana
program will place increasing emphasis
on the development and further ex-
pansion of those projects which offer
basic work experience and training in
metal work and mechanical pursuits
while the necessary curtailment will be
made in projects which do not con-
tribute so well to the development Of
youth for placement in Industries
where a large demand for additional
employment is anticipated by reason
OF the heavy increase in national de-
Tense activities.
The value Of NYA work experience
as a background for private jobs Is
shown by the fact that about one
third of the young people who leave
NYA employment do so to go to work
in private employment.
Types of projects which will be car
ried on during the fiscal year 1871 in
clude construction and repair OF public
buildings: improvement of grounds
and mechanical work of all kinds:
construction and repair of streets,
highways and roads; public health and
hospital work; conservation; estab-
lishment Of recreational facilities, and
allied pursuits. Only such projects as
are outside the normal budgets Of the
co-sponsoring agencies and which do
not displace regularly employed per-
sonnet are undertaken.
