EQUALITY URGED
FOR i. S. ALIENS

NEW YORK CITY. March 20
The National Council on Naturali-
zation and Citizenship unanimously
adopted a resolution urging the
Congress to amend its laws to pro-
vide equality in naturalization ir-
respective of race at its annual con-
ference in the Hotel Commodore
here.
Some $50 delegates from all parts
of the country were present. Mike
Masaoka, National Legislative Dir
ector of the JACL ADO, and Sam
Ishikawa, Eastern Representative,
represented the japanese American
Citizens League.
At the convention banquet, Roger
NJ Baldwin, national director of the
American Civil Liberties Union, de-
ciared that the repeal of the ORR
entail Exclusion Act of 1924 and the
modification of the naturalization
laws to extend American citizenship
to all Asiatics would not only pre-
vent the spread of Communism in
the Orient but also demonstrate
our sincerity to all the people of the
world.
Baldwin indicated that opposition
to the movement would come from
tn traditional anti-Japanese ele-
ments of California while the Com
mittee for Equality in Naturaliza-
ton was rallying Americans of good
will from all parts of the country
for the forthcoming legislative
campaign.
Other luncheon speakers included
Watson Miller, United States Com
missioner of immigration and Ma
turalization; Judge Dorothy Ken
yon, United States representative to
the Commission on the Status of
Women of the United Nations, and
Mrs. Helen Papashvily, authoress.
The convention theme was ma

its current membership drive which
is open to all members of units at
tached to the Saith Division during
the war.
Nisei veterans who with other
members of the Saith Division par
ticipated in some of the bitterest
fighting In the European theater
are being asked to Join. Interested
persons are requested to write to
Mr.. Kaufman, Secretary, 34th In

When the Nisei Tooth Infantry
Battalion went into action at Saler-

Members of this unit took part in
the ferocious fighting in the hills
before Casino and in the historic
break through at Casino and An

campaign in June 1914, men of the
442nd fought with the Red Bull
division in the drive that swept
up through Sassetta and the west
coast to Livorgno and Rome.

the ranch. An essential part of every
plan is a provision for annually max
ing checks to insure that planned
practices and remedial measures
may be promptly adjusted to meet
local climatic and market conditions.
The first step in developing a
sound ranch plan is to make an in
ventory of the livestock, the range
and pasture, the cropland, and the
kinds and amounts of feeds and for
age available to the rancher.
Livestock. The rancher determines
the number of livestock kept or de-
sired to be kept on the ranch for a
profitable livestock enterprise.
Among other things, the marketing
practices (sale of weaners, yearlings
or two-year-olds in the instance of a
cattle ~operation) are determined.
The question of when, how many,
and at what age livestock are sold
markedly influences the required
amount of grazing and other feeds
needed seasonally.
Range or Pasture Condition. The
conditions of the various parts of the
grazing units are determined to es-
tablish the amount of forage the

various units may be expected to
produce under an improved plan of
grazing, and the seasons during
which the forage can be grazed to
best advantage. This information
when analysed is shown graphically
on a range condition map of the
ranch, and becomes the basis for
applying conservation practices and
remedial measures to the range.
Croplands. The suitability of the
ranch croplands for producing the
required roughage, grain and sup

adaptability of the soils of the ranch
fields for growing the needed crops
as determined by a conservation soil
survey. This information weighed
against the current field-by-field
production of these crops and the
season of the year in which the crops
become available for livestock feed
is analysed and recorded. The crop
ping history of each field is noted as
a guide in planning future cropping.
Feed and Forage. The roughage,
grain and pasturage requirements
for the present land desired) num-
bers of livestock are calculated in

terms Of animal-unit-months for
comparison with the estimated pro-
duction of the cropland and grazing
lands of the ranch. This information
when analysed shows the estimated
amount of the various feeds and the
seasons of the year when the feeds
must be available for livestock. If
total livestock requirements are
greater than feed produced on the
ranch, or if there is an over-supply
of forage available at certain seasons
of the year, or a shortage of total
winter feeds, definite plans are made
for adjustment either in the num-
bers of livestock kept on the ranch
or in the crop and grazing-land
acreages.
The Ranch Conservation Plan
The second step, once the inven-
tory has been completed and the
several factors analysed, is to set
down in writing a plan of the opera
tons of the ranch for a three to five
year or longer period. The plan then
becomes a guide and constant re-
minder of the orderly pattern for
applying new practices and remedial
measures especially designed for the
the particular grazing and crop
lands.
ventory information plus the cult
waited land capability information,
which is shown graphically on a
map, give a picture of the land now
in crops and the other land that
might safely and %profitably be
cropped. 1t provided the basis from
which the ranch conservation plan
is developed. The plan is then finally
revised and completed by comparing
it with the needs and desires of the
rancher and with his livestock, soils
and forage resources. The total avail
able feed are based upon
calculated production of crops thai
can be grown on the cultivated pas.
ture and range lands. Commonly
most ranchers can reorganize theil
present operations by doing one OF
more of the following things:
/. Providing for seasonal and an
nual adjustments of livestock
numbers and management prac-
tees to avoid overuse of grazing
land or the hazardous depletion
of feed supplies.
2. Planting crops and supplemental
pastures that will overcome sea
sonal shortages and thus balanct
the year-long requirements o
feed or forage for the desired
number of livestock. !
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-08-15

GOOD CONSERVATION practices
applied to grazing lands on our
western ranches have doubled yields
of forage and expanded several fold
the opportunities for profitable beef,
mutton and wool production. They
have also justified increased faci1i-
ties for improved management, and
raised the living standards for
ranchers and stockmen.
Profitable livestock production on
most western ranches rests upon
the quality and amount of range and
pasture available on the ange. Good
range is the rancher's cheapest
source of feed, for rapid gains and
for maintenance of breeding herds.
The number of calves and lambs
raised and their sale weights are
generally accepted measures of sue
cessfu1 ranch operation. The highest
calf and lamb crops as well as the
most rapid growth of young animals
are invariably on ranches having an
abundance of succulent range for
age.
Blue-printing Operations
Applying good management to
grazing lands and the designing of
sound conservation practices are in
themselves relatively simple actions
IN the part of ranchers. They re-
quire adherence only to four widely
recognized principles. These princi-
pies as generally stated are: ID
prompt adjustment of livestock
numbers in harmony with available
seasonal forage, (2) adjustment of
the season of use for each grazing
unit or pasture to meet the growth
requirements of the principal forage
plants, (3) erection or relocation of
fences, and stock-water facilities,
and sailing stations, to obtain proper
distribution of the grazing animals,
and (4) maintaining the best kind of
forage which the particular ranch
can grow.
A practical first step in planning
for good grazing land management
is to make an inventory of the ranch

tory data provides the basis for the
