Basis for
Industrial Cooperution

Quite aside from any diplomatic
considerations, plain business men
and others interested in hemisphere
solidarity are considering a basis
for Canadian-American industrial
cooperation.
The Institute of Pacific Relations
says that Alaska, the Yukon, Mac
Kenzie Valley, northern British Co.
lumbia and Alberta constitute vast
area of potential economic develop
ment:
"Air routes to Alaska and the
nearest sources of supply for
military supplies, such as oil, lie
through or in the Canadian North
west. AS an air route, the future of
the Northwest is assured. Over it
lie the great circle or near great
circle routes, and the economic
routes between the densely populat-
ed regions of Asia and North Amer
lea.
"There are mutual strategic and
economic benefits in Canadian-Amer-
lean partnership for postwar devel-
opment of the Pacific Northwest"
Exploitation of the natural re-
sources in this zone can be devel-
oped, and is urged, through a close
working partnership by the United
States and Canada. This would re-
quire the pooling of inform alton, tech
meal facilities and the investment
of private capital (not public funds).
This is the type of industrial cooper
alton that has characterized the eco
nornic history of the two countries
in the past. The comment continues:
ALREADY two great undertakings
in joint defense and joint develop
ment are being carried out. Amer
leans built the Alaskan highway;
Canadians built the bases. for the
air route it parallels and serves.
The highway was an assurance of
the security of Alaska; the defense
of Alaska was an assurance of the
safety of Canada. The North Pacific
Planning project is a striking ex-
ample of international coopera-
ton and of ordinary common sense.
American and Canadian interests
in the Pacific Northwest are joint
and inseparable, they can be made
to yield joint private profit"

CONGRESS-:
Ban Subsidies

With congress voting against con-
tinuance of subsidy payments to re-
duce retail prices of meat, butter,
milk and other food items, COP
house members served notice that
if the President vetoed the bill they
would attempt to make it part of
the measure to extend price control
after June 30, thus forcing the Presi-
dent. to accept it or kill his whole
anti-infiation program.
To assure continued existence Of
the Commodity Credit corporation in
the event of a presidential veto of
the subsidy clause, congress wrote
in an emergency provision extend
ing its life until permanent legisla-
ton could be passed.
In voting against consumer sub
sides, congressional foes of such
payments said they could only save
the average family about II cents a
day, during time when national
income was at an all-time level. Ad-
vocates of subsidies, however, said
abolition of such payments would
bring about 7 per cent increase in
the price of the foods affected, and a
3 per cent rise in the general cost
of living, leading to clamor for
higher wages.

RUSSIA:
Firms Talk Peace

Russian troops made further gains
along the Estonian border on the
north end of the 300 mile eastern
front, while reports indicated that
the Firms were sounding out Mos
COW for peace terms.
AS the Russ continued to chew
into Nazi defenses below Leningrad,
the Germans fell back to avoid en-
circlement from the rear, and each
step backward found them closer to
Estonia and the other Baltic states
of Latvia and Lithuania.
Russo-Finnish peace repeatedly
hung on terms Moscow might offer,
with the Firms receptive to proposals
based on the 1910 border, but op-
posed to occupation of their military
and naval strongholds by the Reds.
With the Russ again in possession
of much of the mining region of the
southern Ukraine, Finland remained
one of the last sources of nickel for
the Germans, and Hitler repeatedly
sought to prevent Finland's deser-
ton of the Axis to protect these de-
posts.

necessary for her strength. She
wants a closer cohesion of the Com
monwealth. Lord Halifax made the
suggestion, not officially, and with
great restraint.
Earlier, Field Marshal Jan SHUTS
of the Union of South Africa had
made a speech urging closer CO.
operation of the smaller European
countries with the United Kingdom.
On the Monday following Lord
Halifax's speech, Prime Minister
Mackenzie King was questioned con-
corning its meaning in the Canadian
house of commons.
King stated that he was sure the
speech had been misinterpreted,
that he had been assured that it was
not the official attitude of the British
government, but he also said it was
unfortunate" He said further:
with what is implied in the
argument employed by both
these eminent public men (Hali-
fax and Smuts), I am unable
to agree"
Then he made this statement:
In meeting world issues OF
security, employment and social
standards, we must join not only
with commonwealth countries
but with all ike-minded states,
if our purposes and ideals are
to prevail. Our commitments
on these great issues must be
part of a general scheme, wheth-
er they be on world basis or
regional in nature.
1--WE look forward, therefore,
to close collaboration in the in
terests of peace not only inside
the British commonwealth, but
also with all friendly nations,
small as well as great"
The Canadian press of all parties,
am told by Canadian officials here,
showed unanimity in supporting
the prime minister seldom wit
messed in Canada.
This means that since Canadian in
terests lie in this hemisphere to a
great extent, where hemisphere
solidarity is essential to the welfare
of all Of the nations concerned, it
is sheer folly to keep a perfectly
good piece of furniture in the base
ment Of the Pan-American Union
that belongs at its natural place at
the table. "Won't you sit down, MIR.

are below deck or under cover.
For instance, when the new USS

ARGENTINA:
Political Battle-Ground

Having broken diplomatic rela-
tons with the Axis, President Pedro
Ramirez of Argentina moved slow
ly before declaring war on Germany
and Japan, since the country's mill
tary caste opposed such action.
Hints that Ramirez foreign min
lister was considering a declaration
of war against the Axis inflamed the
military caste, known as the "Colo-
nels' Lodge" and forced the presi-
dent to dismiss his foreign chief and
reorganize his cabinet to hold the
different elements together.
AS Argentina's internal situation
boiled, pro-Ally General Arturo Raw
son, who led the revolt against pro-
Axis President Castillo last June,
watched developments from Brazil,
where he was reported under sur
Vigilance of Argentine agents for
expressing strong pro-Ally sympa-
thies, in opposition to Ramirez pol

FUEL:

With government officials warning
of only 14-year U. S. oil reserve
at the present rate of consumption,
Rep. Jennings Randolph wv. Va.)
introduced a bill which the house
speedily passed, calling for an ex-
penditure of $3O,00O,00O on the con-
struction of experimental fuel plants
to obtain gas from coal, oil, shale
and agricultural and forest prod
uctS.
The U. S. bureau of mines labora-
tory at Pittsburgh, Pa, already has
developed oil from coal through a
chemical process utilizing hydrogen,
but costs have amounted to 16 cents
a gallon, compared with costs of
only s cents for getting fuel from
oil.
Whereas U. S. oil reserves have
been estimated as sufficient for IA
years, the bureau of mines said U. S.
coal resources could furnish materi-
al for gas for 5000 years.

Farmers has prompted me to
write a narrative description of
:saE1S in Ashe county.
Ashe county soils are divided
into three parts: (1) top soil, (2)
sun soil, 60 parent material.
TeN soil consists of from 3 to Is
isaEMes of rich loarny soils which
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1944-12-14

cover the surface of the county.
Upon these few inches, all our
population depends. Nature be-
ing very exact formed and spread
this layer over the other two,
which are very much more ero-
sive. The top soil is loose, and
mellow, enabling it to absorb
rainfall, but with abuse, it will
60 down hill. The subsoil con-
sists of from 2 to Is feet of firm,
soil and plastic clays. This layer
contains many of the necessary
plant food elements. Most all
plant feeder roots penetrate down
into this layer. Where the top
soil has been washed or blown
away, successful farming can be
carried on in the sub soil, with
the proper soil-building and soil
conserving practices. The third
layer, or parent material or de-
decomposed rocks, has very little
value from a farming standpoint,
and when eroded down to it the
establishment of forest is about
the only effective conservation
measures, and even that is diff
cult.
After considering all of these
facts, is it not a challenge to ev-
cry dirt-loving farmer in Ashe
county to try to work with ma
ture and preserve the fertile top
layer as nature made it?
Of all the gifts of nature, none
is more indispensable to man
than soil.

I ou no doubt know that in general
it is best to get stable manure spread
on your fields as soon as possible,
but there are certain things which
you should consider in handling OF
manure in winter.
USDA Farmers Bulletin No.
1870 says that spreading manure
on snow is not advisable, because
of washing, particularly if your
land is rolling. 1t may be better
to store it. Also, if the ground is
soft, hauling may make ruts in
the field and cause trouble next
spring or summer.
1t is best to store manure on high
ground so that any teachings will
run onto the field. A storage place
near to the field where it is going to
be used later, will save time and
labor when it is spread.
The milking barn should be cleaned
daily, of course, and sprinkling barn
lime or superphosphate on the floor
after milking and after the floor is
cleaned, not only helps the santa
ton program but also adds to the
fertility of the manure.
