Better Farming and Not So
Much" Valley Farmer Saws

BOzEMAN-"Better farming and
not SO much" is the postwar slogan
one Valley county farmer has
adopted and to this Ralph D. Mer-
Ger. extension agronomist at Mon
tana State college, heartily agrees
and adds that it might well be the
slogan OF all Montana farmers. The
farmer was quoted in a recent bull
letin issued by County Agent James
K. McGibney.
Now that the most urgent need for
maximum food production for war
has passed, Mercer says farmers can
we'll turn their attention to read
justing their operations to meet
peacetime conditions and at the
same time more firmly establish
those sound farming practices which

have proved their value under Mon
tana climatic and soil conditions.
While food is still needed to build
the peace, he said, the pressure is
off enough so that good farming
practices need not be sacrificed for
its production.
One of the first steps in the re-
conversion program on farms in the
plains area of the state, Mercer said,
is to re-establish summer fallow
acreage at more normal levels since
fallow has proved to be the very
foundation for successful farming on
Montana's non-irrigated land.
During the war wears. farmers
were justified in reducing fallow
acreage to put more land in crops.

AS we say, this sort of attitude and personality sometimes
brings material advantages. But little else accrues to such an
individual in the way of friends, regard or respect. Probably
he doesn't mind. Certainly he has none of the philosophy of

10 Protect Oyster
Beds From Poachers
Ry the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 8.-Gov.
Darden and Charles M. Lankford,
State commissioner of fisheries,
meeting with delegation Of some
30 oyster planters from the Tide
water area, yesterday agreed to
furnish additional protection against
poachers and. with the concurrence
of the group, to submit a bill to the
next session of the General Assembly
proposing increased rentals Of State
owned beds to take care Of addi-
tional expenses incurred.
The Fisheries Commission will put
extra patrol boats into the Potomac
and Rappahannock Rivers In an
effort to curb the activities of oyster
dredgers. who operate at night and
were said by members of the delega-
ton to have ruined the chances of
small planters making a living"
1t was pointed out that Maryland,
as well as Virginia, has partial con-
troll over the Potomac and that any
legislation affecting the rivers oyster
beds must be agreed upon by the
two States.
Yesterdays meeting was a con-
tinuance of a longtime war waged
by oyster planters against poachers
who use the illegal dredging ma
chimes attached to power boats.
R. D. McFadon, Westmoreland
County, one of the leaders of the
delegation, said nighttime dredgers
"have ruined the river" by depicting
oyster beds, have ruined the
chances of making a living for
smalltime planters and will make
oyster planting improbable" If they
are allowed to continue.
When the Governor suggested
raising rentals on the $4,000 acres
now leased out by the State at 81
annually, the planters agreed One
said rentals had been set at that
figure many years ago and that
since that time oyster prices have
trisen tremendously, also that elm
ination of the raiders would more
than make up for the increase In
savings to planters.
Mr.. Lankford said a price of $l.5o
per acre should bring in what rev.
enue would be needed. Patrol boats
cost about 5000 and the increase
would mean between $4,000 and
$4,000 to be used for protection.

Test Case Authorized
On lnyaIidafion Of
Fairfax zoning Law

Questioning the opinion handed
down by Judge Leon NJ. Bazile in
Fairfax County's Circuit Court de-
claring the land use regulation sec
tion OF the county coming ordinance
invalid, the county Board of Super
v1SorS yesterday authorized Com
monwealth's Attorney Hugh B.
Marsh to institute suit to test the
decision before the Virginia Su-
preme Court of Appeals.
The question of the legality of the
zoning ordinances was brought be-
fore Judge Bazile by counsel for
L. w. Parker, who was convicted In
the Circuit Court Of violating county
zoning laws. Mr.. Parker,s counsel
asked that the verdict be set aside
and Judge Bazile, after study of
various coming ordinances in Vir-
ginia, decided that all sections OF
the ordinance pertaining to use reg
ulationS were invalid.
The decision attracted consider
able attention since all zoning laws
In the United States have practi-
cally the same use regulations as are
In the local measure.
Mr.. Marsh advised the board 1t
could either make q test case or
amend the present ordinance so as
to meet the objections raised by
Judge Bazile.
Following public hearing on the
proposed subdivision ordinance, the
board referred the measure back tc
the County Planning Commission
with the Recommendation that 1t be
redrafted and include a number oi
proposals offered at the hearing and
the board asked the commission te
submit the measure again for con.
|sideration after enabling legislation
could be enacted at the next ses.
sion OF the General Assembly which
would permit the board to require
physical improvements in subdivis-
ions.
This action OF the board was
taken after Mr.. Marsh said the pro-
posed ordinance in its present form
was invalid, as the board has nc
authority under present State laws
requiring developers to make GER
tain street improvements.
Under the measure developers
would be required to construct side-
walks and cutters and surface
treated streets In all subdivision.

Lack Of segregation of delinquent
from nondelinquent children at the

which also said children are held
too long at the institution, some
times two or three months.
No Morale Building Program.
Urging a program designed to
build and maintain the morale OF
the children" the report said: THE
general impression left by the insti-
tuition is not good. The building is
old and in many places badly in need
Of painting and minor repairs. There
are no morale-building or recrea-
tional programs and little more than
a formal religious program. The
facilities for indoor recreation for
the boys are entirely inadequate and
those provided for the girls are
scarcely any better"
Concerning the Industrial Home
School for Colored Children, the
report called attention to a lack OF
an ordered system of classification
1t recommended that "a real pro-
gram Of classification be developed
as basis for treatment"
The investigation reached this
Econclusion: 'The overall impression
tleft by the school is good. It is clear
and neat; it is, for the most part
lattractively decorated and carefully
maintained. The tone of the. pro.
igram seemed wholesome and ther,
appeared to be a minimum of re-
Ipression and augmentation" Tn,
