Sweden Extends Her Relief Work

STOCKHOLM. : The Swedish
government and Swedish organi-
cations are still carrying on ex-
tensive relief activities. AS a mat
ter of fact, these activities have
been extended since the, German
collapse, as it has gradually been
possible to reach countries which
had previously been Theoretically
sealed" Discussions are also be-
ing carried on with the Allies con-
corning Swedish participation in
the relief work for the German
children.
On the whole the Swedish relief
activities have been concentrated
on help to children, although con-
siderable assistance has also been
given to adults. During the war
the predominant part of the work
was devoted to the neighboring
countries, especially Norway and
Finland This assistance is con-
tinuing. According to a recent re-
port, the Swedish Freedom Gift to
Norway special collection
started in Sweden on V-day-has
now reached an amount of II mil
lion kronor (2,75O,OOO) The money
will be used for the establishing
of, inter ALA, two big childrens
hospitals, one in Oslo for 10 beds
and one in Bergen with 80 beds,
and two smaller childrens hos
pitfalls in the north of Norway.
They will be largely built of and
equipped with Swedish materials
Towards the end of the war about
$4,000 Norwegians, most of them
children, received a daily nutriti-
Gus meal through the Swedish re-
lief organizations. This relic f
activity is still going on. To pro-
vide these meals, over $4,000 tons
of foodstuffs have been sent to

Presto: Lettuce On Cactus Soil
BY RALPH DIGHTON
APP Newsfeautres

PHOENIX, Ariz. Jan. IA - Two
hundred fifty thousand green acres
in the heart of Arizona testify
that this booming baby state of
the union isn't all sand, cactus and
tourists.
One of the richest agricultural
sections in the United States, the
verdant Salt River Valley in which
this state capital is situated
sprawls between high, scenic
mountains which shed the sparse
rainfall on. to potentially fertile
soil.
By storing and scientifically dis
trlbuting runoff waters, central
Arizona farmers since the turn Of
the century have transformed an
arid waste into vast fields of
highly profitable grapefruit, or
anges, lines and lettuce.
Throne Behind the Power
Back of this Transformation is a
quasi-municipal corporation call
ed the Salt River Valley Water
Users Association. Virtually a
government within a government,
the association has taxing powers
and holds biennial elections among
its 5000 landowner members.
Formed in 1903 as a govern
ment-sponsored irrigation project.
the association has grown from a
small green spot on Maricopa
county's map-an area hardly
larger than that once irrigated by
prehistoric Indians along the salt
river-to 100000 acres. To this
acreage flows each year 1850 600
acre feet of water.
That's lot of acre feet. and an
acre foot is in itself lot of water
enough to cover an acre of land
to the depth of one foot.
All this could be done only by
making the water available at ex-
tremely low cost. The average
price OF an acre foot of water sup
Piled by the association, a non
profit organization, is SITS. To
visualize what this means in
terms understandable to the own
er of a 50-by-100 foot city lot,
imagine paying only go cents for
enough water to keep the lawn
green all the year around. And
this in hot, dry climate where
the mercury bubbles up to 100
degrees in the long summer and
seldom falls below freezing in mid
winter.

TAR HEEL GARDENER

The nurserymen have slogan
which reads ''it is not nome
until it is planted This slogan IS
intended to include the planting
of fruit trees. 1t might be home
without fruit, but it will not be
one Of the best. -,
The first step in growing fruit
is to plant good varieties. l am
listing below a suggested list Tor
home use along with the number
needed for the average family. 1t
should be understood, of course
that the varieties will vary some'
what in different parts of the state
and the number needed will vary
according to the taste and needs
of the family. Here is the proposed
list:
Three apple trees composed OF
such varieties as Delicious, Stay
man, Red Winesap, Golden Deli
cious, or Ben Davis. The Golden
Delicious or Ben Davis should not
be omitted, as these varieties are
needed to pollinate the others for
the best set of fruit. Three peach
trees-Golden Jubilee, Belle OF
Georgia. or liberia. Two Shrop-
shire Damson plum trees; two
Montmorency cherry trees; two
Celeste or Turkey fig trees; two
Kieffer or Waite pear trees; and
two Stuart pecan trees. Two black
walnut trees; ten bunch grape
vines; three Muscadine grape
vines; twenty-five young or boy
senberry plants (dewberries) and
100 Massey or Blakemore straw
berry plants. In the mountains,
peaches, figs, plums and Musca-
dine grapes are not adapted. For
this section Green River or Indi-
ana pecans are recommended in
stead Of the Stuart.
The care of these plants, espe-
cially spraying is very important
and will be taken up in a later
article.

'HENSEL DEFENDS
DUTCH TRAINING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-UD-
The Navy explained today that 1t
had trained 5000 Dutch Marines
only for use against the Japanese
in the Netherlands East Indies
It's position was set forth by Act
ing Secretary H. Strive Hensel in
reply to recent charges by Rep.
Ellis E. Patterson, D., Calf, that
the Navy had defied U. S. foreign
policy by training and outfitting
Dutch forces used to quell Indone-
sian uprisings.
Hense1, in a letter to Rep. Jack
Anderson, R., Calf, made no
reference to Patterson's specific
charge that the Dutch Marines
were used against the Indonesians.
He explained that the Navy
agreed in 1913 to train the Dutch
Marines, having particularly in
mind operations which might have
to be undertaken against the Dutch
East Indies to free them from
the japanese. Japan surrendered
while the Dutch were being train
ed at Camp Davis, N. c., he said,
but the training was carried to
completion so the Marines could
in disarming Japanese
in the Pacific.
This, he said, was done with the
support of the U. S. chiefs of staff
who refused, however, to sanction
the training of any new troops aft
err VI Day. 49,
AS for outfitting the Dutch,
Hensel said that plans for supply
ing them for operations against
the Japanese were perfected be-
fore VJ-Day, but that the equip
ment was not delivered when
lend-lease was terminated. He
said that when the foreign econo-
mic administration refused to
make credit arrangement, the
Dutch purchased the supplies for
$13, $40, 1881 cash.
Hensel defended the Navy part
in training the Dutch, saying it
was entirely in keeping with the
foreign and military policies of
the government"

1.-The local power company"
Orme points out, "sells power at
about one and a half cents per
kilowatt, and that is in closely
populated areas. We supply scat
tered rural users for less than one
cent"
Look to More Water
All this water and power comes
from a system of dams along the
Salt and Verde rivers which con-
verge northeast of Phoeniz. But
not far away is another source Of
even more water and power-the
Colorado river.
cit is quite an achievement,
what we've done out here on the
DESERT" admits Orme. "But it
isn't enough. The farms now be-
ing irrigated need more water.
And there are thousands of acres
not now cultivated which are Just
as rich potentially.
millions of additional acre feet
will be made available when the
Colorado river development, held
in allegiance during the war and
now slated to be pushed fast with
the release of building and con-
struction materials, becomes a
reality. There are some very Sc
rious legal obstacles to be sur
mounted, but if that much more
water can be diverted to Arizona

and honestly see no limit to Ari-
