|WRANGELL LUMBER GO. SALE E ASKED
Col. 0hIson, as Receiver, Petitions Court for Order
 10 Sell Mill Property

In an effort to untangle the in- volved financial affairs of the Al aska Asiatic Lumber Mills, Inc, oi Wrangell, Alaska, Otto F. Ohlson receiver for the company, filed in the District Court today a peti- ton for an order to sell the assets of the corporations property
 The Court ordered that hearing be held on the petition in the Court at Juneau at 10 am. Sep tember 28.
 At that time all persons interest ed may appear to show cause why an order should not be entered and an order made for sale.
 Under-financing was given by Col. Ohlson as the cause of the failure of F. " Wagner, owner of the mill.
 Because of financial entangle- ments, due in part to the fact that Army Engineers over-stocked with green lumter, were unable to buy from The Alaska Asiatic, it has been impossible for the receiver to effect a sale or receivership opera tion," Col. Ohlson said in discussing the proposed sale today.
 While much of Wagners opera ton had been based on army con- tracts, his company had failed be- fore the contracts were completed.
 Sale of the company in this manner seems to be the only prac-

corn may well replace all or part of
the fallow acreage.
The value of the fallow system in
insuring and increasing production
is now so generally recognized that
there is no point in further extolling
its virtues here. The comparative
yields from three branches of the
Montana agricultural experiment
station, however, + given for ref
erence: (See schedule above.)
These yields represent three dry
land areas in Montana, and should,
therefore, be indicative of what may
be expected in most of the plains
region of the state. These results,
tending over a period of many years,
clearly indicate the value of fallow
from a crop production standpoint.
The question that must be answered,
if we are to produce the expected
crops is, "How can we fal1ow and
still protect our soil?"
SUGGESTED MEASURES
The following measures were
agreed upon as being the best practi-

other lands. In the main, such lands
do not produce good grain crops, and
as a precautionary measure should
be seeded to permanent grass.
q. Strip Crop.
a. Establish straight strips not
over Is rods in width.
b. Contour strip cropping is ap-
plicable in certain areas, but the
area where this practice is adapted
is not well defined. No contour
stripping should be established with
out adequate grass buffers.
The group felt very strongly
that strip cropping is a must
No other practice offers as much
insurance against widespread
damage when conditions get
tough.
Whether straight wind strips OF
contour strips are used will depend
on the slope farmed and the texture
of the soil. Long, uniform slopes,

pected. Effects of green manures on

z. Sod crops in rotation have not
increased yields. They have given
visual evidence of soil erosion con-
troll for short periods.
These seven points, except for No.

system of operation. Where corr is
an adapted crop, and where live
stock is available to utilize the feed,

cal methods now known to protect
fallow lands:
/. Establish grass (crested
wheat) on land areas highly
susceptible to wind and wafer
erosion particularly steep
slopes, very sandy soils. knollss
quilted land. etc.
Most farms have certain areas
which are constant erosion hazards,
and which are an erosion threat to

soils, are ideal for contour strip
farming.
3. Establish erased waterways
This practice is not now in gen.
eral use in Montana. 1t is needed,
however, on many farms to prevent
serious gully erosion.
4. Stubble mulch
a. Leave stubble unworked until
time for initial operation of May
fallow.
b. Use oneway or disc for first
operation if straw is heavy. Adjust
to kill weeds but not cover straw.
C. Use subsurface implements for
subsequent operations and for
initial operation in light to medium
cover.
d. Use the treader following SUBJ
surface implements results in an
choring crop residue, and in a firmer
seeded.
Stubble mulch fallow is def
initelY past the stage where its
value can be questioned. Crop
yields have been equal to those
of other types of fallow. and the
protective straw cover on the
surface is effective in controlling
both wind and wafer erosion.
We are still behind the Cana
dams in use of this practice.
There, hundreds of thousands
of acres are fallowed each year
by subsurface implements.
s. Cold mulch
Where a pillow is used for the first
fallow operation, a cloddy surface
must be preserved at all costs by use
of blades, sweeps, rod weeders or
other subsurface implements for
subsequent operations.
The cloddy mulch is not as effec-
tive in erosion control as Stubble
mulch because of the difficulty in
maintaining clods. This is particular
ly true of either light or heavy soils,
and on all soils in areas of heavy
rains.
Weather Variations
In all the plains area, conditions
so adverse have been experienced
that the most careful operator has
not been able to avoid some loss. The
job ahead is to keep soil losses to a
minimum, and the practices recon-
mended are designed for that pur-
pose. These practices, plus a little
cooperation from the weatherman,
will see the plains area meeting the
challenge it now faces.

MONTANA Farmer-Stockman or
AVA Jan. Is, 1948, contained an edi-
toria1 entitled "World Democracy
and the Great Plains" This editorial
called attention to the responsibility
facing the plains in the present
world food crisis. We need to exer-
else all the "know-how" that has
been gathered through the years that
agriculture has been carried on in
the plains if we are to meet our re-
sponsibilities.
There is danger under such a sit
uation of neg1ecting measures to pro-
tect the esource that makes this pro-
duction possible-our own fertile
plains soils. This would be literally
"killing the goose that laid the gold
en- egg"
With this thought in mind, a group
of agricultural workers representing
the agricultural experiment station,
the soil conservation service, the
production and marketing admins
t~ration, and the extension service
spent several days this past summer
in gathering and correlating all
known information regarding the
best methods of handling our dry
land soils.
The first day was spent in a ON
ference at the northern Montana
branch of the agricultural expert
ment station near Havre. This day
was devoted to a discussion of the
problems of the area, and to drawing
UP a series of recommendations for
their solution. The following day
was spent at the Dominion Research
laboratory, Swift Current, SaSk,
Canada, to check the recommended
lions with our neighbors to the north
who operate under similar condi-
tons.
Those present agreed that the
plains area of Montana. during
the past several years. had ex-
perienced wafer erosion to an
extent not previously ap-
preached. and that Jul soil
losses from this cause were
much greater than generally
recognized. Furthermore. while
wind erosion had moi been as
severe as in the 30s. it was again
becoming Increasingly common.
1t was also agreed that both
wind and wafer erosion were
most sever on summerfallowed
lands. yet summerfallow is the
very backbone of our agricul-
lure. How can the erosion prob
lem be met and at the same
time attain maximum produc-
tion?
The following points were agreed
upon as basic in a successful plains
agriculture:
1. Summerfallow must be the
basis of dryland operations on most
Montana cropland.
2. Timeliness is of utmost impor-
lance in fallow operations.
a. Early initial tillage (befort
June u.
b. No advantages in fall till
age for summerfallow.
8. Fallow reduces frequency O.
crop failure and stabilizes crop pro
duction.
4. Cultivation before initial till
age operation for fallow does no
stimulate termination of most weet
seeds.

Health Squad Hunts
Spreaders
In VD Campaign

Armed with descriptions that
wound battle the hardest detective,
the sleuths of the Washington
Health Department set out daily to
trace down persons in the District
infected with the germ of syphilis.
Sometimes they have no more to
20 on than the fact that the pros
pective patient lis very tall and
good looking" or that he has a
gold TOOTH or "an Indian head ia
tooed on the back of the left hand. y
Sometimes they are told that their
man hangs out" at certain bar,
or lives in the vicinity of an in
definitely located building.
Despite all difficulties, however,
.e II young men of the Health
apartment contact investigation
am manage to locate and bring
n for treatment IS per cent of the
listed contacts of syphilis patients
at the clinics.
On the patience and perseverance
of thes men depend to a large ex-
tent the success or failure of the
recently launched Health Depart
ment campaign against venereal
disease in the District. According
to DR.. A. TruXton Morgan, Health
Department epidemiologist who is
directing the drive, their work is
based on the premise that, for
every newly diagnosed case of
syphilis. there is at least one person
from whom this patient contracted
the disease"
The problem then is first to in
terview carefully every new patient
to discover his recent sexual con-
facts at the time he enters the
clinic. Private physicians also
refer names of contacts
to the department for a follow-up.
The next step is to locate the
contact and advise him, or her, that
he may be infected with the dis
ease. Often he is in complete ignor-
ance of the fact. The third, and
often the most difficult step is for
the investigator to persuade the
contact to report to clinic for
treatment.
Health Department officials point
out that only through an alert and
energetic follow-up of every known
case of venereal disease can the
long chains of infection" be brok-
en- and the alarming rise in venereal
disease rate in the District be
checked.
