ance, 200 pounds of amoniated phos-
phate was drilled into the soil after
the hay was cut in 1913. This has
given the grass a boost and brought
about a better balance between le-
gumes and grasses. When legumes
form owe so percent of the pasture
mixture by volume, there is danger
of bloat. This is particularly true
when alfalfa is in the mixture.
Rotation Grazing
The management factors also con-
tribute to the high carrying ca
pacity of this pasture. 1t was divided
into two fields and rotation grazing
was practiced. While one field was
being irrigated, the other was being
grazed. The pasture was laid out
for the border dixie method of irri-
cation with runs of from 500 to 600
feet. The irrigation was often
enough to keep the ground moist
throughout the season.
A series of check gates installed
at the head of the border bikes made
irrigation very simple. All the irri-
gator had to do was turn the water
in the ditch, close the check gate,
set a few syphon tubes in the first
two borders, and then wait for the
next change. After about two hours
the water is moved to the next two
borders. The irrigator cover about
10 acres per day and does it with
very little work. He also does his
irrigating mostly without rubber
boots OF shovel.
A good pasture mixture, well man
aged, and the soil kept in a high
state of fertility, seem to be the
key to high returns from his pas
ture.

Care Will Preserve
Irrigation System

LONGER, MORE RELIABLE
service is possible for irrigation
equipment and bitches, too, asserts
Guy o. Woodward, irrigation
specialist of the Wyoming agricul-
tural extension service.
Farmers should make a concerted
effort now to assure "many-seasons-
more wear from the structures.
Woodward outlines two special
areas that need immediate attention.
Clean and place in storage all
siphons, spiles, surface pipes, canvas
dams, plastic dams and other de-
vices.
Burn or allow close grazing of
ditch banks. The heavy growth of
grass or weeds on ditch banks offers
good protection for burrowing ami
mails. Getting rid of the growth will
eliminate a great deal of this kind
of trouble and will leave permanent
bitches in better condition for next
spring.

HIRING H ALI }
 ILLEGAL
West Coast Organizations Operate in Violation
 Says NLRB

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-Ia-A trial examiner s@for :-..e .a..5lla. Labor Relations :-oal. ruled today that the West Coast hiring halls for longshoremen and waterfront clerks operate in violation of the Taft Hartley Act.
 The examiner, Irving Rogosin, held that the hiring hall system does not in itself conflict with the Act. But, he said, they are operat- ed in four west coast port areas in such a manner as to discriminate against prospective employees who are not members of the CIO long shoremens' union.
 The ruling, affecting 12.O00 long shoremen and 5000 waterfront clerks, was made on charges brought against the union by the Waterfront Employers Association of the Pacific Coast.
 Also involved are the Waterfront Employers Association of California and the Waterfront Employers of Oregon and the Columbia River
 The hiring halls are operated jointly by the union ana the Elm ployers Association. They are lo- cated mainly in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

kruu Makes Third Claim
 Offer; 1000 Square Miles
 To 150 Eskimos Proposed

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-LR-Tae Interior Department says it is of fering 2,300 square miles of Arctic Alaska to 150 inhabitants of two Eskimo villages.
 The area would serve the natives as a reservation. It was the third proposed cy Julius A. Krug in his final hours as Secretary of the Interior, in adjustment of Eskimo claims to land. These claims must be settled before the land can be opened to development.
 The reservation would be on the Kobuk river in the area. of the villages of Shunknak and Cobuk, northeast of the Seward peninsula.
 The other proposed reservations are 750 square miles of the Arctic slope, for 367 Eskimos living at Barrow, northern most point of Alaska, and 100000 acres on Prince of Wales and Sukkwan Islands, for 360 natives of Hydaburg village on Prince of Wales Island.
 Krug said 88 square miles of mineralized ground inside the pro posed Cobuk river reservation would remain open to prospectors and miners, and would still be subject tc mining laws. Gold, asbestos and jade have been found in the area.
 "rrotection of the way of life of these Eskimos in the. forbidding Arctic land that they occupy is essential to maintenance of their villages and culture," Krug said in a statement.
 Establishment of the reservations will depend upon the outcome of an election of the natives.

 DEMANDED
of Treasury Snyder Reiferates 31z
 Year Old Statement

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-LR-Sec- retary of the Treasury Snyder said today the governments budget should be balanced--now.
 But he made no suggestions be- yond reiterating 3ia year old statement that the government should reduce spending "in every possible way" and maintain ade- quate tax rates" to keep receipts and outlays in balance.
 Appearing before a Senate House subcommittee studying government money, credit and financial policies, Snyder said:
 "It seems to me, that in times as prosperous as these we should have talanced budget.
 National income today is close to the highest level in our history, and, by every standard of sound government finance, the time to have a balanced budget is now"
 Federal expenditures this fiscal year are expected to be $43,500,- GOO 1000, a peacetime record.
 He blamed a $5,0O0, 100000 tax cut voted last year by the Repub- ican-controlled 80th Congress-o President Truman's veto-for the s1 300, 100000 deficit of fiscal 194s ended last June 30, and the pros pect of a times greater ont this fiscal year.

An armada of freighters weighted with the greatest shipments of arm- aments to leave American shores in peacetime-$1 900, ,OO0,O worth will start moving to Europe in a few months.
 signal for the American arms aid program to start rolling was given when Defense Ministers and Chiefs of Staff of 12 Atlantic Pact nations initialed a master defense plan in Paris.
 The arms shipments must be cer- tified by President Truman as ac- ceptaEle to the United States and there are few more nation-to- nation agreements to be signed to comply with Congressional safe- guards But no difficulty is seen on this score since the plan is largely American in origin.
 The aim of the North Atlantic Defense plan is to stop any aggres- sor-the nation feared is Russia, which has the worlds biggest armies.

SHIPS N FED COMPETITION, SAYS INTERIOR
Diversion Explained 10 Di- vide Business-Cost Not
 Primary, Says Dept.
By Charles D. Watkins

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-tR-The Interior Department says the need for some element of competition in steamship lines serving Alaska has been apparent and has caused it to divide shipments to the Ter ritory among west coasc ports.
 Rep. Holmes (R-Wash1, who had inquired of the Department as to why it had diverted some Alaskan shipments from Seattle to Portland. San Francisco and Los Angeles, made public the Departments re- ply today.
 Briefly stated" the Interior De- partment said, 'it (ls the policy of the Alaska Railroad and other agencies of this Department to ship supplies and equipment 10 Alaska by the method and route that will result in the lowest cost There are occasional exceptions to this rule where considerations of timing and delivery make it to the interest of the government to do otherwise.
 We believe that it is desirable to develop trade with Alaska orig mating not only in Seattle, but also in other Pacific ports. II the cost is approximately the same, then we try to divide railroad and other cargo fairly among competing lines available. This policy has resulted in a division of government freight traffic between Seattle and other Pacific Coast ports"
 Divide After Consideration
 The Department said it decided to divide the Alaska traffic among all west coast lines ''only after iull consideration had been given to the needs of the Alaska trade in- cluding procurement for the Alaska Railroad and the Alaska fload Con- mission.
 "The apparent need for some ele- ment of competition in steamship lines serving the Territory also was an important factor" it added.
 The Department said Alaskan shipments will decline in import ance as the rehabilitation of the Alaska Railroad and improvement of the Territory roads move nearer completion.
 It said it believed that its policy of dividing the shipments among all the ports and shipping by the cheapest route lis completely defen- sible policy but added it is now ceiving a letter from F. A. Zeus-
 Holmes made his inquiry after re- cieving letter from F. A. Zeus- Ter, Executive Assistant to the Pre- sident of the Alaska Steamship Go
 Zeusler said diversion of govern ment ships from Seattle to the other west coast ports was cost ing Washington State several mil lion dollars. He said Seattle had always handled the governments Alaskan shipments and the diver sion deprived longshoremen there of work they customarily received

 VASHINGTON-Young hero of the nations capital last week was football star Leo Speros, who led Wilson High School to a one-point victory in the championship high school play-off for the District of Columbia. Leo, who waded down a snowy field to score touchdown after touchdown, was the toast of the capitals sports world.
 Unsung and unheralded was an- other hero in the Speros family his father. Operator of a restaurant Speros senior quietly gave job to the secretary of Congressman Parn- ell Thomas when she was indicted on technical charge of arranging for salary kickbacks.

The Jus tice Department, in order to show a conspiracy, had to indict not only the Congressman who ordered the kickbacks, but his secretary who carried out his orders.
 Out of job, GA years old and un- der indictment as a reward for hel patriotism, Miss Campbell fifially got employment at the Silver Fox restaurant, where Jim Speros, be- liever in clean government, gave her employment.
