MOTION PICTURE URGES
CONSERVATION Of LAND

"This Is Our Land" was the title
Of a motion picture presented Tues.
day at a meeting of the Laurel
Rotary club by w. O'Brien and
Douglas Allard of the Billings office
of Standard Oil company. The pic
ture was produced for the Ethyl
corporation. O'Brien and Allard
were introduced by Charles Staiger,
program committeeman.
The picture dealt almost exclus-
lively with the nearly two billion
acres constituting the land surface
of the United States, a large part
of which is tillable. Economists
view with alarm the shrinkage that
has occurred in the past $50 years,
caused by thinning" the soil, and
the picture attempted to stress the
Importance of replacing the chemi-
cal removed each year by crops.
Where there is no replacement
the land gradually runs down and
becomes unproductive, especially
where one crop is produced year
after year without rotation. An
illustration is the tobacco land of
some eastern and southern states,
or where cotton or corn are grown
annually without variation.
Principal elements removed by
crop growth are nitrogen, %phosphor-
US and calcium land others in vary.
ing degrees. Certain legumes sue
c~essfully replace the lost nitrogen,
while lime, a form of calcium,
counteracts acidity of the soil. The
most difficult to replace easily and
abundantly is phosphorus, which has
led to the use of commercial phos-
phate. Several hundred pounds of
animal manure per acre is the most
common and successful fertilizer, as
it contains the three principal ele-
ments and valuable ammonium, a
strongly basic radical composed of
nitrogen and hydrogen whose com
pounds resemble those of the alkali
elements.
The use of animal fertilizer ne
Cessitates extensive livestock feeding
on the premises, a practice follow
ed for many years on some Yellow
stone valley farms.
The theme of the picture was
preservation of the land for the
benefit of succeeding generations.
Illustrated were methods for re-
placement of elements and the pre-
vention of wind and rain erosion.
In connection with the latter there
were shown strip farming scenes,
wind breaks and other successful
systems to stem the inroads made
by nature on cultivated acres. At
flood time the Mississippi river
every minute carries a 40-acre farm
ir suspension and solution past a
given point.
In late years a system to pre-
vent erosion has been produced by
scientists studying and classifying
and making recommenda-
on what parts should be
cropped and what should be pasture
Or timber land. The service of gov
ernment-employed experts is avail
able to farmers seeking high pro-
and conservation.
Although tractors and other pow
er machines play an important part
n today's farming, saving the land
the larger duty, the film
demonstrated.

ENROUTE TO BOSTON, Oct. 8. The biggest mystery among base bsll men today was Ted Williams stut orn refusal even to attempt a hit to left field, which has been more desolate than the Sahara whenever the Boston Red Sox slug ger comes to bat in this current world series.
 Williams considers that right iCe switch personal challenge; he won't bunt nor try to poke a tall into left field-not the way he loves to hit home runs remark cd one observer.
 However, Williams admitted he tlisd TO, once. but twice yesterday 10 hi. one clown the third hase sec iion left entirely uncovered by the ECdie Dyer strategy.
 T haven't quit because I be- licve I'll get my share of hits nc matter what defense they cock up for me" said Ted
 Just how successful lsas teen Dyel's "leftist movement" where everybody but the pitcher, catcher and umpire veer sharply to the left of Williams. is best explained by the fact that the Boston slug ger has been held to one hit in seven official trips to the plate Tn Sundays opener, Al Schoen- dicnst threw him cut on a linz drive that ordinarily would have gene through the hole between first and second. Stan Musial, peg ging the right field foul line, took a hit away from Ted in the first inning yesterday, and in the sixth Schoendienst was ill perfect posi- ten to snare a screawiag liner flom Williams bat

BRECHEEN'5 S(REWBALL
 I5pUzzLER
Dyer Sniff" Also One of Big Things of Present
 World Series
LEY JACK HAND)

ENROUTE TO BOSTON, Oct. 8. Harry (the Cat Brecheen's dart ing screwball, the best any left handler has shown since Carl Hub bell quit, has restored the 1946 World Series to an even proposition. As the teams took the day off for travel to BoStin's Fenway Park alter splitting the first two in St. Louis, Manager Joe Cronin of the Boston Red SoX still had an ace up his sleeve-Dave (Boo) Ferriss, who had reeled off 25 victories of the Sox total of 104 ut he now will be able to see only limited ac- ton.
 By holding cut Ferriss to work the third game tomorrow against Murry Dickson at Fenway Park, Cronin probably will be unable to get more than two games out of his ace winner
 More than one baseball observer sensed in the Cardinals aggressive play during the first two games the hint of a tremendous upset of the pre-series dope-an upset compar- able to the one the fleet 1942 Red Birds handed the mighty New York Yankees.
 New Type of Leader
 l,r hilt Eddie Dyer new type oi inspiring leader had come along with a blend of young players and such holdovers as Terry Moore, EnoS Slaughter, Whitey KurCwski, Marty Marion and Stan Musial, then a rookie with the AZ world champs.
 While lcsing the opener in 10 in- nings 3-2, and grabbing yesterday $ second game 80, the Cardinal pitchers have turned back Johnny Pesky, a 1855 hitter, without hit in nlne at-bats They also have held the great Ted Williams with the Dyer shift" to one hit in seven trips Rudy Yorks winning homer in the first game was the only Boston extra base hit. The Birds have registered four doubles and a triple.
 Sex Power Shackled
 Dyer's lefthanded pitching by Pollet and Brecheen deserve credit for shackling the Sox power.
 Brecheen's swerving screw ball came in for the most attention in the American League club house The talented southpaw from Broken Bow, Okla, winner of Is and loser of 15 in the regular season, counted five shutouts in his record before yesterdays brilliant job that stopped Boston 80.
 The Cards hitting pitchers helped win. Repaying Dyer for his insist ence on the hurlerS taking a regu- lar turn in batting practice since way back in spring training days at St. Petersburg, Fla.
 Master Move
 Brecheen came up in the third inning with catcher Del Rice perch ed on second base as a result of his double to the left field wall. '"The Cat" dumped single which drove in Rice with a run that proved enough to beat Mickey Harris, the rival southpaw
 Dyer's appointment of Rice as catcher was a master move, since Rice added a leadoff single in the fifth which proved a two-run up rising.
 After Rice's single to left, Bre- cheen dropped bunt down the third base line. Pinky Higgins rush. ed in for the ball, and threw wild ly into short center field. Rice wound up on third, and the alert Brecheen on second. Terry Moore's single drove in Rice, and Brecheer came across with the last run ol the day while the Bobby Doerr- Pesky-Yor combination was try ing futilely for double play or Stan Musial's rap to second base.
