of how plants convert the suns en-
ergy into life on this planet. Who
can say where this will lead in re-
suits beneficial to mankind?
The same process of tagged or
''radio b~roadcasting' atoms works
in animals, and in man. Radio
iodine, from Oak Ridge, for example
has often been administered by
trained physicians to patients with
enlarged thyroid, familiarly known
as goiter. That iodine can be
clicked by a Geiger counter. The
counter tells the doctor that the 10
dine makes its way almost at once
to the thyroid or goiter.
1t happens that these radiations
have been successful in certain cases
in actually controlling goiter with
out surgery. But that is another
story-the use of radioactive iso-
TOPICS for medical treatment, human
therapy, and a wonderful story it
promises to be, too.
1t is not necessary for farmers
to be nuclear scientists to under
stand the elementary principles of
this new and challenging field. But
it is important that you understand
that you have a big stake in it's
rapid development. Oak Ridge, and
Hanford in Washington state, the
Argonne laboratory near Chicago,
Brookhaven laboratory near New
York city and other of the commits
sion's installations are ~uncovering
new knowledge for mankind, as are
independent laboratories using ra-
dio-active materials supplied by the
commission. And new knowledge
is the very staff of life to the farmer.
Science and Farming
Let no one try to tell the Ameri-
can farmer that the unfolding of
new fundamental knowledge is of
no Importance to him. No one can
tell you that Geiger Mendel me-
thodically charting down the gen.
erations of sweet peas in his mon
astery garden IS years ago was
merely %puttering. You know that
what he learned made possible, for
example, the hybrid corn which has
been an untold blessing to man in
these postwar years of world food
shortage.
All over the country agricultural
research is being stimulated by the
availability of these isotopes as
great tools for the discovery of new
knowledge. Studies aimed at con,
troll of the insects so costly to vol
will be aided by the radio-isotopt
techniques. Plant disease can be OBJ

OS0H ~
It is desirable that, in accor-
dance with principles of demo-
cracy and home rule, the pee-
pie of the Virgin Islands be
given local autonomy to the ex
tent feasible and practicable.
It follows that, with a greater
degree of local autonomy, the
funds for financing the govern
mental operations should be
created as a result of local en-.
deavors. Unless this is true, the
officials may not feel a COM
plete sense of. responsibility
for the efficient expenditure of
such funds.
In view Of the above conclu-
sions and those set forth in the
other sections Of this report, it!
is recommended that:
!. There be a single treasury
of the Virgin Islands into
which will be deposited all
revenues and from which
all expenses will be paid.
?. There be provided a new
revenue structure, reason

the Legislative Assembly
should review and, where
necessary, revise the pro-,
gram annually and extend
it another year. The pro-
gram should set forth the
estimated revenues from
all sources, the proposed
expenditures for all pur-
poses, and the program of
work to be done. Annual

would be in keeping with
the policy adopted by the
Congress with respect to
Puerto Rico and seems war
ranted on the theory that
the revenue is created as a
result of the productive
efforts of the people in the
possessions. Al least in the
case of the Virgin Islands,
this policy is also warrant
ed by the dire need for
more funds than can be
raised locally. A major dis
advantage of such a plan is
that the proceeds from this
tax fluctuate tremendous
~ from year to year and
are very difficult to pre-

assume however, that this
tax will in the future pro-
duce enough money, toge-
ther with the local reve-
nues, to provide adequate
public services. In order to
forestall waste an dextra-
vagance in the event the
revenues from this source
are in excess of needs, it

Don't Know Wool
When They See Il

After his experiences at the
North Montana state fair at
Great Falls this month, E. p.
circuit, senior extension live
stock specialist at Montana
State college, is convinced it's
high time Montana people knew
a little more about wool-an II
million dollar crop in the Urea
sure State.
Time otter time, Orcutt says,
people visiting the exhibit of
wool fleeces at the fair would
ask, Whats all that stuff, any
way?". They had to be told it
was wool just as it comes off
the sheep at shearing time.
This just goes to show, he
pointed out, that more wool ex-
hibitS are needed at Montana
fairs to let MontanaanS know
their state is not only a major
wool producer but also produces
a quality of wool that is rated
by buyers as the best in North
America.
Fifty-two fleeces were exhi-
bited at the North Montana fair,
he said, and they attracted
much attention. The grand
champion eve fleece was exhi-
bited by Thorvald Anderson of
Melville, and the Montana Agri-
cultural Experiment station
showed the grand champion ram
fleece.

Extension Circulur
Gives Erosion
Control Practices

Recommended Practices for
Soil Erosion Control" is the
title of a new circular publish
ed by the Montana State college
agricultural experiment station
and copies may be obtained
from county extension agents or
by writing direct to the station.
Written by "A. E. Seamans,
agronomist at the Huntley field
station, the circular summarizes
existing Information on erosion
control and indicates how it APP
plies to the dry land section of
the state.
In his summary Seamans
points out that while summer
fallow is essential to a success
full agriculture in the plains
area, it is paradoxicaliy the
greatest erosion hazard. Essen
tial features Of a wind erosion
control program are: /, main
tenance of crop residues on the
surface (stubble mulch): and 2.
strip cropping. Stubble mulch,
he adds, is also the most effec-
tive means available for water
erosion control, while contour
strip cropping with grasses buff
fer strips is effective in many
parts of the state. Where run
ming water tends to concentrate,
grass waterways should be es-
tablished.

Low in Fats

Commenting on the near re-
cord low position of domestic
stocks of fats and oils revealed
In the latest issue of the u. S
Department of Commences Of

port" the American Fat Sal
wage committee urges home
makers to continue salvage of
every available drop of used fat.
The report shows that desnite
favorable production of fats and
oils in the u. S. in the 1947-48
season, stocks of fats and oils
in the U. S. have continued to
decline end at the end of Nav
1948 totaled 1,416 million
pounds. This figure is 139 mil
lion pounds less than May 1916
and only 246 million pounds
more than the record low of re-
cent years reached in October
1916, the Fat Salvage committee
points out.
Concern over the low stock
position would be greater were
it not for the indicated favor
able crops for the 1948-49 sea-
son." the Fat Salvage committee
explains. Besides the hundreds
of industrial channels into
which used fats go, this addi-
tional 100 to 200 million pounds
of household fat salvaged each
year serves the national econ
omy by making available great
er amounts of other kinds of
fats including vital food fats.
Illustrative of the significant
contribution made by household
fat salvage is a statement by
Charles E. Lund, associate dir
ector, food branch, Office OF

partment of Commerce: "Tlhis

Predicts Labor DdY
Accidents Will
Bring Five Deoths

Basing his statement on the
record of past years, Montana
Highway Patrol Supervisor
Charles L. Sheridan this week
predicted that five persons will
lose their lives in Montana dur
ing the first week in Septem-
Der as a result of traffic ac-
cidents.
"In 1915, three persons were
killed in traffic accidents in this
first seven days; in 1916, the
score rose to seven and receded
slightly last year to five. In
view of this experience, "Sheri-
dan pointed out, 1--WE can antic-
ipate at least five deaths from
motor vehicle traffic accidents
unless all motorists will follow
the simple rules Of common
sense and courtesy"
The patrol chief listed some
suggestions for living through
the weekend:
/. Start early and do your
QrlVlng while IreSn, raCner Cnan
when all tired out.
Q. Keep in rhythm with the
rest of the traffic, rather than
passing everything on the road.
8. Pull completely off the road
when stopping to make emer-
gency repairs, look at the seen
cry or merely stretch your legs.
4. Check your car over to
make sure that the lights,
brakes, tires, mirrors and wind
shield wipers are In good con-
dition and working.
5. Be extraordinarily court
eous, because there will be some
people who will not be following
these suggestions, and will,
through ignorance or careless
ness, create a situation in which
an accident can happen.
6. BE careful-the life you
save may be your own.

Nevertheless. events having to do

either to pay off or break down:
Russia had broken off consular re-

hasenkina. the u S. state depart
ment pointed out as it ordered him
out Of the country.
1t was a sensational turn OF
events. In a note to the Soviet en-
passy the state department asserted
that Lomakin had. in effect, misled
his own government with regard to
Inc kasenkIna case so that the pro-
tests which the Soviets made to the
Y. S. were based on misinforma-
ton"
In addition. the note charged that
the consul general had .'hindered
the investigation of the competent
police officials by refusing to al
low them to interview Mrs. Kasen-
kina" while she was under control
of the Soviet consul.
Then. even as Lomakin was pack
ing his bags and preparing to leave
the country. Russia countered
sharply by formally severing con-
sular relations with the U. S. and
repeating its accusations of bad
faith.
That seemed to prove that Iona

sion of his individual initiative as
they were a direct reflection OF
Kremlin policy.
However. no one was worrying
too much about the breaking off Of
consular relations. The move did
not mean that diplomatic relations
were severed.
Soviet consular activities in the
U. S. we're limited to arranging for
mutual trade and travel between
the two nations. Since there is prac-
tically no trade or travel exchange
taking place. the presence or abb
sence of a consul wouldn't make too
much difference.

basis for negotiations with the So
Wet Union, the Russians were play
ing their familiar game of hit-and-
run.
u. S. Ambassador Walter Bedell
Smith. British Representative Frank
Roberts and French Ambassador
Yves Chataigneau had been drudg-
ing through a series of meetings
with the implacabie ". M. Molotov.
Soviet foreign minister.
Molotov. as usual. was hard.
tough. adamant in his adherence to
current Soviet policy on the Berlin
and Germany problems. No prog
ress was made: the three western
representatives were dispirited. al
though they kept to their chore. The
word was whispered about that this
conference might break up in total
failure.
Then came a break, or so it ap-
peared. Premier Stain would meet
again with the three ENJOYS. In the
ensuing discussions with Stain
hopes again were raised that the
western powers might succeed in at
least partially lifting the Berlin
blockade and perhaps effect an area
of agreement that could be used for
a subsequent top-level meeting to
iron out some of the major East.
West differences.
But there were some who still
could see the AK on the peace table.
Somehow. there was a familiar pat.
tern behind these negotiations that
went something like this:
After Molotov had subjected his
fellow c~onferees to hour after hour
of his case-hardened %refusals to
come to terms. attempting by those
tactics to wear his diplomatic OPP
oonents down. the scene was set for
Stains return.
Stain came on with his air OF
geniality and good viii. apparently
not only willing but eager to reach
common ground. His attitude was
so manifestly different from Moio-
TOYS that hopes again scared.
There was the danger. Lulled into
optimism. the western ENJOYS might
be trapped into making concessions
that should not be made This same
kind of Molotov-to-Stalin play had
worked before.
