Japan's Men
Lose Women---
Free Mountains

TOKYO-R)-There are no
more mountains in Japan for men
only. Five japanese women have
climbed mile-high Mount Omine
in Nara prefecture southwest of
Tokyo.
Before the war, there were a
lot of peaks where women noun
tain climbers were not allowed.
Buddhist sects had built temples
there and wouldn't allow women
around. Came Japan's new con-
sstitwtiansafter the war and 2 new
day for Japanese women. They
became as free as the men. And
all the female mountain climbers
took advantage of the new day.
They began scaling every
mountain peak that had been out
-of-bounds for tn IN before.
Omine was the last to be con-
quered.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 2O.-Neu-
trail observers here believe that
the Communist plan to take over
Finland will fail. The observers
believe that the strike was poor
ly timed and that the Communists
would have had better chance
for victory if they had bored"
from within the trade unions,
and had brought the government
in disrepute.
Today the Finland Federation
of Trade Unions ordered 40 unions
to go back to work by Tues

ton.
The Finnish government re-
mains confident during this coup

. A BL Ell A Mn
i FARMING -

1t is interesting to note that Gar
rett county has more tile drainage
than all other Maryland counties put
together. Farmers from the lowlands
are usually amazed to learn that we
have lot of wet land right here on
top of the mountains. The Eastern
Shore has thousands of acres of wet
land, but their drainage is different
from ours. Over there the drainage
program consists of large outlet
bitches and wide, fairly shallow, field
bitches. One outlet may serve several
farms. Some of them have grades as
little as or 3 feet per mile.
None of our land is anywhere near
that flat. Some glades that look per
fectly flat will have a grade of one
percent, or one foot fall per hundred
feet. Because of the nature of our wet
soil, drains have to be closely spaced.
Open bitches as close as 40 to go feet
apart in cropland would be real
nuisance, SO tile drains are better
suited to our conditions.
You cannot set down any blanket
rules for laying out a tile system.
Each wet place takes different treat
ment, whether it is 80 acre glade or
a small seepy spot. Land is wet when
the soil is so tight that water cannot
seep down through it, but has to flow
slowly across the surface. Most of
our hills have a surface soil that can
absorb water Somewhere down the
slope the layer of tight soil comes
near the surface, and here is where
we get the springy spots There viii
usually be a series Of them.
If you are going to drain field,
the best place to begin is right at the
top side of the wet area. And most of
the tile lines should run across the
slope rather than straight up and
down. They must have some grade, of
course; but well laid tile doesn't re-
quire heavy grade. If the lines are
run straight up and down the slope
