FARM NEWS

Nearly Az million farm men,
women, and youth throughout the
Nation got help during 1916 from
the Cooperative Agricultural Ex-
tension Service in raising their
standard of living, producing and
marketing food and fibre, manag-
ing the home, and meeting a wide
range of problems affecting rural
people, according to the annual re-
port of M. L. Wilson, Director of
Extension Work for the u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.
In addition, the report points
out, 100000 non-farm people,
mostly in rural areas, got advice
and information from extension on
a variety of problems, including
food production and canning and
other homemaking activities.
Among those reached by Exten-
sion were more than IL million
4-H Club boys and girls, who rails
ed 716,0O0 head of livestock, grew
$4,000 acres of gardens and crops,
raised nearly million hens and
other poultry, canned nearly 20
million quarts of food products,
and took part in many other ac-
tivities associated with the Head,
Heart, Hands and Health" of the
4-H movement.
The economy of pasture is due
in large part to the fact that labor
is saved, the animals gathering
their own feed and spreading the
manure as they Craze.
Conservation of forage crops
takes on new Importance at a time
when feed grains are in short sup
ply and high in price. This year,
every farmer will do his best to
save his hay crop and get it into
storage in high quality condition.
1t is not too early, due to short
ages of equipment, to turn atten-
tion to the hay handling system
and replace needed parts so as to
be prepared when the crop is
ready.

The farm tractor is complex

checking at many points when
getting it ready for winter. The
usual procedure is to change the

lubricant and get the cooling sys-

proper winterizing also requires

beginning of permanent industry
and possibly one of the largest
meat developments of our indus
try.

stated Mr.. Alp, that the fryer that
is being offered to the public from
this area is meeting with great

Car Theft Suspect Held
After Crash, Chase on Foot

A car theft suspect who abandoned
an allegedly stolen auto after it
went over an embankment and
eluded Montgomery County police
only to be caught later by District
officers, was being held today under
$4,000 bond for grand jury action
here.
In a Municipal Court hearing yes
terday, Frederick John Bailey, 81,
colored. of Bladensburg, Md, was
named driver of the car reported
stolen from a parking lot in the 1900
block Georgia avenue NV.
His arrect by Washington police
followed a 70-mile-an-hour chase
and pursuit on foot through half
a-mile of woods by county police.
County Patrolman James A. Eb-
bess testified that, when he ap-
preached Bailey who was behind the
wheel of the stolen car in Silver
Spring, the man drove south on
Georgia avenue at a high rate OF
speed over the wet and crowded
thoroughfare.
The patrolmen said that, after
mile chase, the stolen car skidded
and went over an embankment at
Sixteenth street and Eastern avenue
NV. Pvt. Ebbess said he chased
the man through the nearby woods
on foot for nearly a half-a-mile be-
fore losing him in the dusk. Local
police picked up the suspect in the
vicinity soon after q lookout had
been broadcast.

Separate But Equal Schools
Hit by CoIored Legal Chief

The practice of providing equal
but separate school facilities for
Negroes simply will not work, for
there is no such thing an equality
without an interchange OF ideas,
Thurgood Marshall, chief Of the
legal branch of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF
Colored People, said yesterday.
Addressing meeting OF the
Capital Press Club, Mr.. Marshall
summed up progress made in legis-
lation tending to break down racial
segregation.
Referring to a decision this week
in which the Supreme Court di-
rected the University Of Oklahoma
to admit a colored girl to its law
school or provide separate equal
facilities, MIR. Marshall said sepa-
rate facilities do not constitute q
solution to the social problem.
"You could give her the same
library, the same number of books
and assume she would get an equal
faculty, and still this girl, without
the essential interchange of ideas,
would not have equal facilities" Mr..
Marshall said.
Mr.. Marshall, who will argue the
Detroit phase of the property cove
nant cases before the Supreme
Court tomorrow, reminded his audi
ence that "even Bilbo agreed to the
principle of separate and equal
rights"

GOV. CONTROLS
 ALL PROPERTY
 NEAR NEW ROAD

A further check of official rec- ords today revealed that new 75O-foot road under construction at a cost of S2,26950 to Alaska taxpayers. wiH benefit only one family This was learned when it was discovered that Gov. Ernest Oruening had purchased 4.oS acres of patented land from Ralph Tref- fers fer s900 on May IS, l946.
 This purchase gives the Governor and his son, Hunt, control of the only three plots of land affected by the new road at Eagle River Landing, despite previous state ment from Territorial Engineer Frank A. Metcalf that the new road would service five or six" homesites in that area.
 The road, authorized by the Territorial Board of Road Commls- sioners, of which the Governor is Chairman, extends 330 feet along a right -of-way which had been reserved by the U. S. Forest Ser vice in the regular manner for property inaccessible to existing roads. From that point, 1t extends another APO feet into property oc- cupied by the Governor and his son on Forest Service Special Use Permits for summer homes.
 The approach is entirely sur rounded by property under the control of the Governor and his son. On one side is the patented land which he now owns outright as previously mentioned. On the other side, the land is on lease to the Governors son, Hunt Back of these two parcels of land, is an- other lot which has been leased directly to the Governor. The entire area amounts to 1882 acres of land. It covers the region from the ex- isting Eagle River Landing Road to Salt Lake from Eagle River Harbor.
 Work on the road was begun this week by the Berg Construction CO. low bidder on the project.
