Colorado Pursues Sane Food Production Policy
By JOHN c. VIVIAN,

IN THE early spring of this executive order was
issued Colorado to the state director of seecve serv
ice prohibiting the drafting of essential farmers within
the state into the military establishment.
According to the record, some 10000 men engaged
in agricultural pursuits this state still at the
job of producing food The great majority of these
regsrants might have been in the armed forces had the
governor of Colorado acted Only farmers can operate
farm. That is basic.
BY the same token and in strict conformity with
the appeal of the secretary of agriculture, we shall
continue to produce much food possible within our
100000 square miles.

WE SHALL urge our farmers not to accept federal

scientific and uneconomc plan to persuade agrcultr

The time has long since come that the American
farmer must return to the system Of raising such crops

shall dispose of them to whomsoever he may decide at
such prices may be agreed upon. We urging
farmers to pursue this plan.
We must again recognize the theory of individual

II there is any one outstand-

mand.
Returned from the front
where our soldiers and the Aus
tralians struggled bitterly with
the japanese around Buna,
have vivid memories of behind
the-scenes feats of magic per-
formed by these airmen.
One reason we are succeeding
in our New Guinea campaign
where the Japanese failed under
identical natural conditions is
that we had a Transport Com
mand and the Japs didn't.
Between Port Moresby and
Buna, by airline, it is some 40
minutes. BY foot, jeep and BIZ
cycle it is matter of weeks.
Thus, when the enemy struck
across the mountains last fall, he
was stopped short Of Port Mores-
by mainly because his ground
and supply lines cracked under
the strain of the long haul.
We improved our ground
lines before we launched our
offensive by building jeep and
bicycle trails and hewing out
new footpaths wherever posi-

supply depots.

But that wasn't enough. And
it was the Transport Command
which filled in the blanks and
delivered the goods-almost al

These pilots would have been

they risked lives and planes U.S.

These landing strips are made
without fuss or formality. With
machetes and bayonets, natives
whack down grass, brush and
jungle growth. Holes are filled
with grass and branches. When
it rains, the holes choke with
mud. So at every strip, natives
are on duty to pull bogged-down
planes back up to take-off level
Rain and mud often leave only
half of the strip fit for use.

There Is actually more than
that to the job. With no space
for armament, the pilots lack
protection. They must fly in
formation at tree-top level,
hedge-hopping jagged mountain
crests.
After reaching the delivery
area, they must locate the spot
marked for dropping their pack.
ages. Then they must return TO
base for another load.
One day on the approaches to
Buna, Transport Command de-
livery was scheduled. But some
one had neglected to place Sig
nails indicating the unloading
area. When the planes roared
over, their pilots didn't know
where to drop the supplies.
1t happened to be washday
for me, and my clothes we're
around to dry on rock and
boughs. Within a minute they
were requisitioned spread out in
code form. And so, for another
day, the mail came through.
Headquarters tries to operate
these flights on a daily schedule,
but it can't always be followed.
Pilots take their chances in all
kinds of weather, particularly on
mountain crOSSipoS
Many times, pilots get half
way to their goal only to be
turned back by blustery winter
storms among the peaks, or by
impenetrable fog which hangs
over mountains and lowlands
alike for hundreds of miles.
The pilots eternal question Is
whether to 60 on through and
risk losing plane and precious
supplies-and one good pilot
or turn back and deprive the
men up forward of rations, am
munition and mail.
One pilot tried for three con-
-secutive days to get through to
Wau, where food and other sup
plies were needed desperately.
The fourth day, bad weather
continuing, he CHANGED it, en-
countering storms and fogs all
the way.
He couldn't find the unload
ing area, but at 'tree-top level,
he spotted primitive landing
strip. Circling back, he ran in,
easing the plane down to a per-
feet landing. He had stopped
within a few feet of a solid
mountain wall of rock. {,
I went along on one trip and
observed the aerial unloading
technique. Upon sighting ground
signals which indicate the deliv.
cry area, the planes break for
nation and circle back, one by
one.
A RISKY LANDING
At the precise moment, each
pilot tips his plane and his aide
boots the supply bundles out the
door, like mail sacks are kicked
from q fast train at whistle
stops.
The supplies are wrapped
tightly in blankets and roped
up. but the force of the wind
may rip this covering off. Drop
ped over q two mile = square
area, the bundles are picked up
by natives and carried in to
camp. Loss and breakage is only
a small percentage of the total
dropped.
Thus have airplanes delivered
thousands of tons of priceless
supplies and fighting materials
to our soldiers on the Buna
front.
