tire service personnel assisting
the district during the past
year. The district supervisors
wish to express their apprecia-
| ton to Mr.. Sandberg and Mr..
I Rick, both district conserva-
tionists, and to Mr. Bryant and
Joe Zacek of the Hardin Off
ice, for the part they have
played in assisting the super
visors both in organization of
the district and guiding them
through their first year of adj
ministration. The part they
have played this past year has
not only enabled us to make a
good start, but will be mag
nified as our district proceeds
on its program of soil and
moisture conservation.
when the district was or
ganized and we, as supervisors
were appointed or elected to
administer the program within
the district the first year, we
all thought that we understood
the problems of our district
and just what part we were to
play in their solution. Now,
after one year, we realize that
the things we saw were really
only the more visible signs of
soil and moisture mismanage-
ment. The job of soil and
moisture conservation is not
just a passing fad. but a ser
ious job and one that is going
to affect the economy of not
only u agriculture, but that
of the entire nation in years
to come. We as supervisors are
now only beginning to realize
the vast Importance of our jobs
but with this realization we
have made a small, but i'm
portant start in our district.

the west side of the Big Horn
river extending from the Two
Leggins bridge to the Yellow

acres would Join the present
district on the southwest and
consists mostly of range and
dryland farming conservation.
The present district consists
primarily of irrigated land with
intensive irrigated crops being
carried out, such as sugar
beets, feed and grain crops,
with some feeding opera
tions being carried out during
the winter months. The prin-
cipal soil conservation practices
needed in the district are as
follows: proper application of
irrigation waters, revision of
present irrigation systems,
land levelfng, surface drainage,
additional deep drainage, crop
rotations, increased irrigated
pastures, and increased live
| stock feeding operations to
maintain soil fertility.
1.-The district did not have
the use of government equip
ment to carry out work in the
district. The first part of Oct
ober bids were advertised for
dirt work and land leveling.
The bid was awarded Oct. IS
to Contractors Morse and Arm
strong, and the contractors
commenced work Oct. %, 1945.
On account of weather condi-
tions the contractors had to
quit operations the last of
November.
I'm as much as our district
was new and we were getting
a late start, our work plan for
1945 consisted mainly of laying
a foundation for future work
in the area. This we have tried
to do by thoroughly familiar

problems in the area and

THIS Week
Bumper Potato Crop

Chris Zimmerman of near Dover
is harvesting the largest yield per
acre of potatoes ever known in
Kent County. His yield on his IS
acres of potatoes is averaging in
the neighborhood of 450 bushels to
the acre. Some of his Irish Cob
blers, Green Mountains and Kath-
adins are running so uniform that
they are being sacked right in the
field and are grading U. S. No. 1
throughout. Kent County Agent
William Tarbell reports that in one
plot on the Zimmerman farm
where the owner cooperated with
the Extension Service in a demon
stration on the Kathadin variety
of a new combination of a fungi
eide and insecticide developed by
the Delaware Experiment Station,
the yield was 612 1-2 bushels per
acre. A plot treated with the pres
ent standard treatment yielded
512 1-2 bushels. This demonstra-
tion to learn better disease and in
sect control under commercial pro-
duction conditions was directed by

ity until May /, 1943, when he was

Ocheltree suggests that these in
stances be brought to the attention
of county conservation committees.
County committees may be able to
assist in the completion of these
plans or allot additional practices
to other farmers who wish to car
ny out more practices.
Heifers that are expected to
freshen this fall should be placed
with the milking herd at least two
months before freshening, says
Delmar ]. Young, University of
Delaware Extension dairyman.
Such heifers, suggests Young,
should be placed in the regular
stanchion and fed some extra
roughage and grain to get them in
condition for their first lactation.
The animals should be handled
carefully at AL times in the barn
and should be brought in at each
milking time to train them to the
routine. This practice permits the
animals to become acquainted with
the men moving about the barn,
with the rattle of milking utensils
and any other happenings associ-
ated with milking
The September issue of Timely
Notes For Delaware Broiler Grow
ers prepared by w. C. Skoglund,
extension poultryman for the Del
aware Extension Service is being
distributed to broiler producers
this week. Included in the notes
are the results of the Delaware
Experiment Station poultry farm
study of Crossbreds versus Pure
breds for Broilers conducted by A.
F. Kish, assistant research poul-
tryman, nine points recommended
by Skoglund for a Delaware Grow
Better Broiler Program, and a re-
view of the Feed Situation by DR..
R. o. Bausman, associate agricul-
tural economist.
The State office of the Produc-
ton and Marketing Administration
reports that it has been necessary
to raise its schedule of fair
prices" established as a part of its
conservation program in promot-
ing the increased application of
fertilizer materials. This has been
necessary because of the increase
in fertilizer prices. The rate of re-
endorsement under the 1916 Con-
servation Program will remain the
same and farmers cooperating in
the program are advised that it
will be necessary for them to make
the additional payment caused by
fertilizer price increases.
1t is estimated that each week
in September there will be slightly
over $4,000 broilers reaching IA
weeks of age in the Delmarva reg
ion. This will be increased to ap-
proximately 1,O8O,00O each week in
October. Indications are that the
volume available in November will
be around the same as in October.

TRUMAN ASKS CAB TO
 RE0PENS ALASKA ROUTE CASE

WASHINGTON President Tru- man received a 31-pound Alaska King salmon this week from Gov ernor Ernest Gruening.
 The Governor was in Washington with a group of 9 Alaskans who are attempting to get Civil Aero nautics approval for an air service to be operated from the Territory to the midwest by an Alaskan air line. They returned to the Territory this week.
 The huge fish was taken into the White House only a few hours af- ter a South Carolina delegation had presented Mir. Truman with a bushel of peaches grown in the Spartan burg, So Carolina area.
 Gruening told reporters the AL aska delegation is particularly in terested in the pending Civil Aero nautics Board decision in the so- called Pacific case He said they want Alaska included on proposed routes from the midwest to the Or tent originating on the Pacific coast and in the midwest.
 We also would like local sfry- ice between the midwest and the Pacific coast and Alaska" the Gov eInor continued. Alaska is very airminded."
 He said the group included Pub fishers Robert B. Atwood of Anchor age and William L. Baker of Ketch- ikan.
 Gruening was accompanied to the White House by Secretary of the In terior J. A. Krug.
 Secretary Krug received the en- tire delegation and said he felt the President would ask the CAB to re- examine the Alaska airline situa- tion.
 You have my support for such a service, Krug said "Fn do more than sympathize with your aim. expect to get favorable action on it"
 The Secretary congratulated the delegation for having come to the capital by air to place the Terri torys problem before government officials

 Gruening said Senator Magnuson (D-Wash.D had assured him of sup port for the plans of the delegation.
 Magnuson's statement that he supported the delegauon's conteu- tions came as a surprise as the AL askans had presumed the entire Washington state delegation was firm for a Seattle gateway to the Orient.
