press representing corporation with
corrupt and murderous record.
Gambling places we have, drinking
establishments we have, the same as
most communities, but in a city like
Butte, workers community, they are
not unimportant items on the menu
of necessary relaxation and recrea-
ton
We have also in Butte, in smaller
proportion to other cities, a class of
people who can best be described as
diletantee, or delicatessen. They, all
of them, are dependent for their live
lihood and well-being upon the sue
cess and welfare of the workers.
The men in overalls, with lined and
smudged faces, thoroughbred hands,
are the bone and sinew, the backbone,
and the lifeblood of Butte, and the
others, the. chocolate-eclairs, pink
nailed gentry, should have what is
necessary under their perfume-scented
scalps to stay on the side-lines, keep

By BRUCE SMITH, Butte

Following the miners strike, the
campaign of the company press to dis
credit unionism in Butte fell complete
ly flat, as flat as the Rising Suns
effort to chastise these United States
and take over.
The formation of a secret so-called
citizens committee, intended as an
awe-inspiring and ponderous instru-
ment for law enforcement, paraded
briefly before the public gaze, gave
utterance to some ludicrous state
ments, and finally petered out like a
small boys Fourth of July fizz-crack-
er This effort, like all former efforts
of like nature, was as foolish and fu-
tile as King Canute when he command
ed the waves to subside.
Future efforts by the same press,
for the same purpose, and sponsored
by the same fat-headed Viceroys of
the Anaconda Copper company, will
meet like fate and for the same rea-
son.
Let it be recorded, once again, and
emphasized, that Butte is a mining
camp, a community of workers, who
are predominantly union as to men,
bership, and that it follows, inevitably
and naturally, that the sentiment of
the community is overwhelmingly in
support of it's workers.

And the workers and their friends in
Butte are as law-abiding as the citi-
zens of any other community; they

Thriving Orch ards
Grow at As
Below

| Development of the barren Siberian
wasteland into productive region has
now been achieved by Soviet horticul
tural experts, according to Russian
Relief agricultural report. This snow
covered territory, where the tempera-
ture reaches As degrees below zero
centigrade, is now a land of thriving
orchards producing increasingly boun.
tiful crops each year.
The fruit trees planted in the re-
gion spread along the ground beneath
blankets of snow instead of growing
vertically. They produce more fruit
per tree than the same varieties grown
under normal conditions. Dubbed
creeping trees of Siberia" they bear
fruit in their second or third year,
and reach full maturity in the fourth,
as contrasted with trees planted in the
Moscow region which produce in their
seventh or eighth year
At a recent exhibition held in Nov
osibirsk, Siberia local farmers exhib-
tied AZ different varieties of apples,
pears and cherries and five varieties
of rowan berries. Also exhibited were
locally grown apples weighing two
pounds each.
Cooperating with the Soviet pro-
gram of experimentation and research,
Russian Relief has shipped the first
three cases of tree cuttings to the US
SIR. These cuttings, contributed by va
rious state experiment stations in this
country, include species of 100 varie-
ties of apples, % grapes, 26 cherries,
25 pears, 81 peaches, As plums, and
will be used to help restore the orch
ards and experimental stations de-
stroyed by the nazis during their in
vasion Of the Ukranian and Belorus-
sian republics. Regular consignments
of field and vegetable seed have been
shipped since 1913.

mel from Knoxville, Tenn, to the Ohio
river.
Wheeler dam in Alabama, near the
Wilson dam of World War /, actually
was under construction when IVA
was created.
Inherited Two Dams
IVA inherited the Muscle Shoals
plant, Wilson dam and the partially
completed Wheeler dam and promptly
went to work on the thigh" dam plan
which it has expanded upon.
Now 10 years later this is the bare
outline of what IVA has done:
1t has II dams along the $50 miles
of streams and by an agreement with
the Aluminium Company of America
controls the flow of five additional
dams.
These dams have turned the river
into chain of lakes.
Except for two shallow spots, the
river now has an 11-foot channel from
Paducah, KY, to Knoxville, Tenn.
The dams have a storage capacity
of 10 million acre-feet, of which II
million acre-feet are made available
for flood control each flood season by
drawing down the reservoirs so that
only two million acre-feet of water is
left in them for emergency power gem
Grating purposes.
Integrated System
The IVA has the. largest integrated
power producing system in the coun-
try with a hydro-electric generating
capacity of 2,056,702 kilowatts and a
steam generating capacity of 456,400
kilowatts.
1t sells power to 1877 locally owned
and managed municipal and Co-opera-
tive distributing systemsi to three
small private utility companies and
to some farmers directly. 1t has more
than 100000 ultimate power consum-
ers.
IVA has bought more than mil
lion acres of land for its reservoirs
and other purposes, thereby displac-
ing from their homes some 1860 fam
lilies in six states, families which re-
ceived aid from IVA in finding new
locations if they needed it.
The IVA has produced and dis
posed of, largely by gift to farmers,
of dollars worth of fertilizer.
1t has produced more than $50 mil
lion Seeding trees to reforest public
and private lands in the valley.
Boosts Health Programs
1t has aided counties and towns with
health and sanitation programs. 1t has
worked with state and county extern
sion agents to bring about diversified |
agriculture.
1t has conducted huge malaria con-
troll program along its entire chain
of lakes so that the disease has been
wiped out to large extent through
out the valley.
OF course, no agency, public or pri-
vate, can operate on such a large scale

without engaging in scores of "side
line" activities. For example, to pro
vide maps for planning and land pur
chase programs, the IVA has built
up mapping department which uses
aerial photographs extensively and
was called upon by the war and navy
departments during the war to provide
valuable aid
Operates Towns
IVA operates towns, cafeterias, and
other facilities for its employees who
are located where such facilities do
not already exist.
1t makes studies of everything from
freight rates to fish propagation.
1t is planning lakeside resorts. 1t
operates public dock facilities.
1t helps farmers determine how to
harvest their timber to get best yields.
1t makes tests of mineral resources
Of the valley to encourage new indus
tries to come in and start operations.
1t owns and operates large fleets of
automobiles and trucks and also has
several airplanes and river craft of va
rious kinds.
Naturally, any quick summary of
development and operation as vast as
IVA contains gaps which need to be
supplied later, but in general it may
be said that IVA has affected this reg
ion more than any happening since the
War Between the States.
Valley Is Active
1t has affected the lives of everyone
of the three-million-odd inhabitants of
the valley and its immediate surround
ing territory, from the cotton picker
and share cropper to the banker and
lawyer of the city.
Today the entire valley is bustling
with activity. Cities, large and small,
are planning new civic projects. Exist
ing businesses are expanding. New in
dustries are planning to come in.
Farmers are busy-not only planting
cotton but getting their soil ready for
crops which until few years ago were
of in this region. They are
expanding their dairy herds.
How much of the current prosperity
Of the Tennessee valley may be as
cribed to IVA is a moot question and
difficult to judge. Certainly the ex-
penditure of 900 million dollars, or an
average of $4,000 for every square
mile in the valley, has had a profound
influence.

The Farmer Goes To Town

ers through cooperation have been the saliva
ton of many small communities. There are
towns that would only be a whistle stop without
Co-operatives.
sE That's been the history everywhere.
Wherever farmers have built their Corpora
tives, they have helped to keep trade in the
community. After all having good trading
center is not just question Of the size of the
town, but the number of people who come there
to trade Where farmers have Coop, whether
it is grain elevator, or a creamery or an oil
station, they make that town their all-around

That is the story in many a small town in
Montana. It's story that's worth remembering.
