Alberta Looks
To New Wealth
In Irrigation
.4P n e7cSfPafurrS

I.ETHBRIDGE ALTA wave of
now wealth is expected to flow into
southern Alberta in the wake of the
Ct Mary-Milk rivers irrigation
nroiect, calculated to bring stable
water supply conditions to 5000
acres of semi-arid prairie and
make land produce up to Is times
as much as it does now.
Key to the vast project which
will cost $15.000,000 is the st. Mary
River dam near Spring Coulee.
about 80 miles southwest of Leth-
bridge. 1t is estimated that irriga-
tion waters from this reservoir
will be flowing into crop lands by
August, 1949, and that the entire
program can be completed in sew
en- years.
The St. Mary Milk river prof.
ect, now under way, will bring
total irrigated land in southern
Alberta to about 100000 acres.
Settled water supplies will prevail
on a rolling plain extending about
100 miles eastward to the Saskat-
chewan boundary. an area which
seldom receives enough rainfall to
assure heavy YIELDS and which
often has suffered complete crop
failures.
The dry land to be irrigated now
supports three or four persons a
square mile. Irrigation will sup
port about 80 persons a square
mile.
Value of production from an
acre of irrigated land s0wn to spe-
cialized crops is several times that
from dry land. Instead of crossing
$20-Odd an acre from a dry land
wheat crop. farmers on irrigated
land will raise beet crops worth
1925 to 1925 an acre and vegetable
canning crops worth $120 to $3.50
an acre. To date the area has been
used principally for livestock pro-
duction. wheat and some rye.

Earth's Wobble Laid
To Shifting Air

LONDON-(P)-The earth's wob-
ble, observed long ago by astrono-
mers, has been traced to great air
masses which accumulate over
Europe and Asia during the winter
end roll back towards the oceans in
the summer, says the Soviet
Science News.
The publication records a report
by V. Shuleikin to the Soviet Aca-
denny of Sciences on the results of a
study of seasonal atmospheric
fluctuations. Shuleikin and his col
leagues estimate there are 800 bill
lion tons more air over Europe and
Asia in winter than in summer. The
great movement of this air, they
say, gives rise to late frosts in
spring and Indian summer in
autumn. The shifting weight is so
great, they add, that it causes the
earth to wObble.

passed away on December "a, 194j:
Today brings sad memories
OF the day you went to rest:
But you'll always he remembered
BY the ones who loved you hest,
It's lonesome here without you.
And sad the weary way.
For life is not the same to us
Since you were called away.
The blow was sudden, the shock Sc
We little thought the end so near.
And only those who'Ve lost can tell
The pain of parting without farewell.
More ana more each day We miss you
Friends may think the wound is heal

But they little know the sorrow
That lies within our hearts concealed.

Time To Save
When prices of goods are high

Everyone knows that inflated

"Then the saved dollar will be
worth more and if it is invested
in E bonds, the holder will earn a

Firms that have dropped the

of their home. When great blasts
shook the house, Hertha said in her
childish German, II thought I was
going to be dead" When the bomb
ing stopped and they came up to
look around, there was no longer
any Stroll house - there were not
many houses at all left in the city.
Even the greater part of Hertha's
beautiful castle was in ruins. But
what broke her heart most was that
her precious doll and doll carriage
were gone.
Frau Stroll took her two daugh-
tiers and went to an AFRAID shelter
nearby to live for while. That
was so feet down in the ground
and in concrete room where there
was only electric light and no heat.
When Herr Stroll came back from
Russia, he found the little gate
house at the castle and the family
moved in there, but there are still
lot of others living in bunkers.
Hertha and her mother and sister
were warmly dressed in heavy
clothes that did not look worn
and they had on leather-soled shoes.
Like many Germans in this sector
the appearance of the clothing is
good, and there are any number of
furs. especially red fox, here in Ba-
varia. But these are the last of
the clothes - there is little or moth
ing to change to. However, children
under six are permitted one pair of
shoes a year.
But if Hertha's mother was en-
deavoring to make ends meet,
there was one thing that Hertha
was hoping with all her heart would
be changed soon. Last Easter there
was no candy, but just before Christ
mas there was a small allotment
and this Easter there probably will
be some. I asked Hertha what
she wanted to do when she grew
up, and without moments hesita-
ton she said,
keep chocolate shop!"
There was one other question
was interested in putting to this lit
tie German girl. The names of the
prisoners in the dock of the Inter-
national Military tribunal outside
the walls of the old city did not
mean anything to her, although she
said she had heard of Julius Stretch
er. She had never seen any of the
Nazi leaders So asked if her teach
er were to tell her to draw pic
ture that represented war to her,
what she would draw. She thought
for minute and then she said firm
ly,
81 would draw a castle and houses
and the houses would all be
bombed"
And probably she would include in
the destruction, doll carriage with
a doll in it. A little girl of tender
years who knows the true meaning
of war.
There is more in the American
zone - in all four zones in Ger
many - to take care of than just
seeing that there is enough food and
housing and clothing for the people
through the winter. There is lot
of wrong thinking that has to be
taken care of, too, and that care
has to start with the youngest who
has never lived under Naziism. The
planter of this harvest of hate may
be dead, but the tares he sowed
still could choke out the good seed.
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1946-05-17

When Hertha was born she had
seven-year-old sister. The simple
Stroll home was on a narrow street
at the foot of the castle in the quaint
old city whose walls and towers once
appeared on Christmas cards the
world over, and where Albrecht
Durer lived and painted. But there
were other things going on in Nuern-
berg when Hertha was born. An
evil man by the name of Julius
Streicher had started here fire of
anti-Jewism that was sweeping
Germany.
One day Hertha's father had to
leave his humble job as a packer
of dental supplies and go to the
Russian front as soldier. But Her.
tina was too young to know much
about this. Soon after the days
of the fairy tales came to an end.
Hertha told me about them in the
kitchen of the place where they are
living, with her mother and sister
adding a word now and then. The
home is little three-room gate
house built into one of the towers
of the castle wall which miraculous
ly stands in the bomb-shattered
ruins. Over the doorway there is a
Latin motto etched into the stone
and dated 1861. Roughly translated
it says, "There is nothing greater
to be desired than to deserve well
from the state"
Hertha's sister was sitting at the
window peeling potatoes and her
mother stood beside the little stove
on which there was a pot of cab
bage cooking. The two small rooms
that ran across the back of the
kitchen held single cots with
feather-beds. The windows opened
onto the shattered spires and tow
ers of the old city below. A crude,
wooden-wheel doll carriage with a
rag doll in it held place of honor
among the spare neat furnishings.
There was no heat in these rooms.
The tears came to Hertha's eyes
as though she were angry when she
told about the time she was in the
hospital when a bomb struck it.
Then, one day when she was back
home, the great horns sounded
again, and her mother hastily took
her and her sister to the basement

Mrs. Mabel Anderson, associate

in an article published by the Flor
ence Herald. She wrote:
"In July, 1899, Mr. Olive filed an
application with the FSA for loan
to purchase a farm, a farm that
had been under mortgage for the
past 43 years. A loan of $4,000 for
purchase of the land and construc-
ton of a house and other buildings
was granted.
1.-THE year before the purchase,
only % acres were in cultivation,
7 in cotton and Is in corn, but dur
ing the first year of Mr.. Olives own
ership he terraced the farm, plant
ed 10 acres in soil building crops,
cleared a good portion of the land
to get in fairly good crop and put
out nice orchard. The plan called
for a Give at home" program and
this was followed always with sur
plus produced for market.
"This year, when food has been
a problem, the Olives have 1,450
pounds of meat, 500 quarts of
canned fruit and vegetables, 200
bushels of potatoes, 10 bushels of
sweet potatoes, l bushel of dried
fruit and plenty of milk and eggs.
Besides food for home use they have
600 bushels of corn, II tons of hay,
hogs for another year, 4 cows, S
heifers, $50 leghorn hens and 3 head
of work stock.
"Plans have been made for an
other year by planting acres in
clover and rye, 10 acres of vetch,
and 8 acres of hay, according to soil
conservation plans.

has studied vocational agriculture
at Central high school and with the
aid of his teacher has Handicapped

grounds as part of his school pro-
