Lower Drainage Costs
Seen as Result Of STUDY

Lower cost of drainage in Imper-
ial Valley may result from basic
research on salinity and drainage
problems conducted at the U. S.
regional salinity laboratory at Riv.
erside. Farm Advisor Frank Beysch-
lag said Friday after a conference
at the laboratory
The U. S. regional salinity labora-
tor; was founded at Riverside IN
1888 through the joint action OF the
bureau of plant industry and rep
resentatiVes of the agricultural eX-
pertinent stations of the II western
states and the Territory Of Hawai-
The laboratory was established 10
do basic research on problems OF
regional Importance such as lnVesu-
cations of salinity OF irrigation wa
ters and of soil condition in relation
to plant growth and other factors
in a permanently successful lrrigat-
ed agriculture. Each of the II west
ern states and Territory of Hawaii
is represented in the laboratory
program by an official collaboration
from its state experiment station,
Annual meetings are held by this
group to review and advise on the
research program of the laboratory.
At present the laboratory has no
field trials but is concentrating It's
activities in developing more ac-
curate. or less costly, or quicker
methods of measuring salinity, OF
appraising damage to crops by salts
and in designing equipment fof
charting the locations of gate
bearing soil strata and the relative
possibilities of various strata IL
yielding water to drain. Anatoml-
cal and morphological studies in the
botany laboratory show that sa-
Unity sometimes reduces the size
and number of the sap conducting
vessels in crop plants. The soil lab
oratory is perfecting means OF eX-
tracing soil solutions. The chemical
laboratory is perfecting more ac-
curate and improved methods OF
measuring the salinity of soil So
luton. The instrument shop is
adapting manufactured equipment,
or making new equipment, for the
specialized laboratory and soils jobs.
The equipment which interested
the local farm advisor most was
a hydraulic machine that can force
a hollow tube with a special point
down some so feet into the ground,

In southern Poland, fierce fight
ing still ragged in the Tarnopol sec
tor and in the far north the Ger
mans reported indefinite advances
from Finland
Communicates from both sides in
dicated that the German panzer
units were now pounding at or had
penetrated deeply into the Stain
line defenses, although there was
considerable uncertainty as to the
position of these defense forts. The
German communique also failed to
specify where the Nazi forces reach
ed the Dnieper river, which curves
eastward to Smolensk and is the
last great natural obstacle on the
flat road to Moscow.
The Germans, in reaching the
Dnieper, had gone eastward from
Borisov in the direction of Orsha
and Mogilev, important towns on
the long railroad line from Lenin-
grad to Kiev and Odessa, and were
apparently ready to strike at that
vital supply line. The advance Nazi
units reported they were only 65
miles from the still more import
ant railroad center of Smolensk
which has been heavily bombed by
the Germans, and about 285 miles
from Moscow.
