PERMANENT PASTURE

One of the practices urged by
the war board is the wider use of
permanent pasture. Pasturing is
the most economical method of
harvesting a hay crop and at the
same time is the most beneficial
from the standpoint of mainten-
ance of soil fertility. If hay is cut
and shipped out of the valley, there
is no change of any of the organic
matter finding its way back to the

ment had ever been built that was
suitable for the purpose.
This difficulty was overcome by
invention of new type of sampler
which was designed by Mr.. Barrett
and built by the Imperial Irrigation
District. 1t consists of set of tele-
scoping steel tubes driven by an all
hammer with the air compressor
hoist and other accessory equipment
mounted on a one and one half ton
truck for mobility. Each tube is a
complete unit with an inner coring
tube and a thin sleeve that makes
removal of the soil sample easy.
TAKES GOOD SAMPLES
With this equipment it is possible
to take good samples to a depth of
13 feet regardless of whether the
soil is hard or soft, wet or dry, or
above or below the water table.
For the present most of the in
vestigatiOnal work will be carried
out on properties that are already
tiled SO that the reasons for the
varying efficiencies of the present
installations may be worked out
When the underlying principles

systems have been worked out and
means of making quantitative
measurements of the elements in
volved are developed, the project will
be in position to make recommen-
dationS for future installations.
Office and laboratory facilities
provided by the Imperial Irrigation
District are located at 615 State
street in Ell Centro. In the labora-
tory soils are studied to learn their
ability to carry water laterally to
drainage facilities and to determine
the rate at which irrigation water
will go down to them.
The soils of Imperial Valley are
more acompleX than those in al
most any other part of the world
and the question of whether a prop
erty can or can not be drained is
decidedly related to soil conditions.
This makes the job of the soil con-
Servation service technicians parti-
cularly difficult; however, it is felt
that development of soil sampling
equipment and laboratory proceed
ures has placed the project in posi-
ton to make a major contribution
to Imperial Valley agriculture.

TOO MUCH WATER

Many instances are known where
much more water has been applied
to fields than the crops justified
because poor distribution made it
necessary All excess water natur-
ally aggravates the drainage prob
lem. 1t is urged that farmers check
their moisture penetration with an
auger or probe with the idea in
mind of making such minor revi-
sions of their irrigation layouts as
are indicated by their tests Sub
soiling when the soil is dry often
improves moisture penetration in
the following irrigations and reduces
the amounts of water necessary to
grow crops.
Ponding of water at the lower end
of irrigation runs is detrimental to
crops and can often be prevented
by providing an inexpensive surface

1t has been learned that under

may penetrate to a considerable dis

again to enter the line. To learn
that such conditions exist and to
find out how drainage systems may

Conservation farming Is a way of
life not necessarily a program of
farm reconstruction. There are doz-
ems of small activities that contri-
butte to production of Food for
Freedom and lead TO preservation Of
the soil assets of the United States
that can be followed by farmers
without any enormous outlay of
money or effort.
American agriculture carries the
primar" responsibility for the pro-
duCtion of the food and fiber so
necessary to our victory and Impe :
rial Valley expects to carry its
share. A further responsibility rests
upon us-to reach these production
goals with a minimum of wastage of
our soil resources. This can be
achieved through use of proven soil
conserving practices.

COVER CROPS

Wherever cover crops to improve
the soil can be fitted into the ro-
tation they should be used Imperial
Valley is fortunate in having plants
that are suitable for cover crops for
each season OF likely use. Alfalfa
in rotations, likewise, is beneficial
to the soil.
Incomplete or inaccurate land
leveling jobs make it impossible to
distribute irrigation water in such
manner as to get the maximum
production. The farmer who takes
care of such jobs now is helping to
insure adequate supply of Food for
Freedom.

Choice of crops generally depends
upon soil condition and the farm

will be at harvest time Now the
question should be: What will this
field produce that will aid most in
winning the WARP" Then choose a
crop that will satisfy this require
ment without damage to the soil.

IMPORTANT PROBLEM

The Imperial County USDA war
board feels that drainage is one of
the most important problems in I'M
perial Valley agriculture; also that
there are many related problems
that do not seem SO great when
considered individually but that add
up to considerable production haz-
ard. To call attention to them, the
war board has prepared a write-up
called Practices to Maintain and
Improve Agricultural Production and
to Conserve the Soil" Copies are

cultural Conservation Association

From DR.. McMurry comes this
observation:
Il feel very certain that playing
at killing the Japs and Germans
provides sn excellent emotional out
let for accumulated hostilities. The
average child is constantly sub

his teachers and others are always
forbidding him this or that.

tremendous resentments which de

they are not permitted a harmless

XIII the Jap Games
OF Boys Defended as
Harmless Safety Valve
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated tTesS.
CHICAGO. Aug. II. If your
youngsters are playing such blood
thirsty games as kill the JapS' or
NOV down the Nazis," are you
afraid they will grow up with anti
social, overaggreSSive complexeS?
If so. you can take comfort in the
conclusions of three experts in child
psychology. all of whom agree that
the war games the kids are playing
are harmleSs-if held within reason
able limits.
Two of the experts, Charlotte
Towle, associate professor of pSychi-
atric social work at the University
Of Chicago, and DR.. Robert N. Nc
Murry. assistant professor of pSy-
chology at the Central YMCA Col
lege, assert that the war games may
have a definite therapeutic value,
while the third, DR.. John j. P.
Morgan, professor of psychology at
Northwestern University, says it is
only natural for the youngsters to
play enthusiastically in wartime.
Another Cause for Hatred.
The danger" DR.. Morgan says,
lies not so much in the games chill
dren play as what they see and hear
concerning the viciousnesS of our
enemies. This develops hatred much
quicker than playing war games.
These tactics were used by the Nazis
to develop hatred among children
for everything non-German.
But even this particular brand of
hatred is apt to prove superficial.
since it's born during the stress of
war. Such feelings will be inclined
to disappear when peace returns"
Prof Towle declares that aggres-
sive play by children may have
therapeutic values for two reasons.
Every child" she says. lives in
an adult world and must behave in
ways which meet adult demands.
He has a sense of impotence and
independence in relation to adults.
Aggressive play may give him feel
ing of confidence in his own powers.
Furthermore, in conforming to
adult demands every. child expert
ences enough Illustration to engender
rage which seeks an outlet in hostile
impulses. The rough games In
which children enact hostility pre-
vents their storing up these i'm
pulses.
Over repression Harmful.
''Too much repression OF them
often results in behavior problems
of various types, such as feeding
difficulties, stammering, stealing and
simulated illness. The child must
not accumulate hostility lest he
carry it into adult life when there
is expression in such common forms
as functional illness, attitudes OF in
tolerance and compulSive need to
persecute others or in extreme forms
as antisocial behavior characteristics
of the criminal.
Games of hostile aggression are
not found only in wartime, but
simply take another form of ex-
pressing the inner hostility which
children always have. The fear that
children should be kept from play
ing at war games with toy soldiers
is misapprehension; the toy SOL
diers and the wagon which becomes
bomber or tank are simply means
of giving expression and relief to
the rage which results in children
because they resent restrictions
which they cannot understand.
when the games of aggression
reach the point where they are too
rough or destructive, they must be
