News Notes From
Co, Agents Office
By b. F. Robinson

Farmers planning to seed irri-
gated pastures this spring should
look carefully into their needs be-
fore buying seed.
By and large the old Huntley
pasture mix has been one of the
best we have ever had. It's been
tested and proved satisfactory and
good stands have been obtained.
Lately, however, we've found that
] adino clover should probably re-
place White clover. There have
been other notifications tried, in
Guiding getting rid of Kentucky
bluegrass, but we can't recommend
them yet.
This reformed Huntley mix in
cludes Sommoth bronze grass at the
rate of three or four pounds per
acre, Kentucky bluegrass four to
six pounds, Orchard grass four to
six. Meadow fescue three to four,
Alsike one to two and Ladino one
to two pounds per acre.
For simpler mixes, Dr. r. F. Stitt,
II S D. A. Agronomist suggests
that bronze grass and alfalfa seed
may be used or an Orchard grass
ana Ladino mixture. He points out
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1949-04-07

though, that their limitations should
be noted. The bronze grass-alfalfa
mix is good for only about three
or four years because alfalfa will
60 out of the stand In addition it
must be grazed in rotation It
should grow about 20 inches, then
Craze off rapidly and allowed to
recover.
The Orchard grass and Ladino
mix is restricted by the danger of
Orchard grass winter killing. Gen
orally it should be safe in the win
ter wheat area.
Seeding rates on these simpler
mixtures should be about fifteen
rounds of bronze grass to three Of
alfalfa in this mix. About ten Or
chard grass to two of Ladino will
probably give best results with this
mixture This proportion of le-
gumes should please livestock mer

that could be provided bv the saw
inc of wasted war billions And
who can measure the value of the
peace, the heart-ease, the disap-
nearance of the horror and agony
that would be the blessed fruitage
of wars ending?
It's a wonderful dream. Will it
ever be realized?
Shall we say that perhaps the
world picture is not quite so dark
as Dr. Nash would have us think?
Perhaps a third world war is not
inevitable. Churchill in his recent
Boston address said that it is not
inevitable. Already the nations are
combining into regional pacts for
defense and economic benefits.
These regional pacts NAV be the
first evolutionary steps toward an
ultimate world federation. Let us
live with that hope at least before
us and strive nightly to work for
a world united in pace and a Just
and happy fellowship between all
peoples
The Libby P. T. A. deserves the
hearty commentator of the com
munity for having provided such
an interesting and instructive dis
cussion of this timely topic a
searching for peace through world
federation.

CURSE OR BLEsSING-WHICH?

III
The people who physically
brought Jesus Christ to the Roman
court and demanded His crucifixion
were willing to assume the full re-
sponsibility for their crime. They
shouted frantically. "His blood be
on us and on our children.
In their case these words were a
curse: for they were an invitation
to God to deal with them according
to their actions. But upon the lips
of uncounted millions since that day
these words have been fervent
PRAYER: His blood be on us and
on our children"
The central message of the
Christian Gospel is redemption by
the blood of Jesus Christ His
blood, the Scriptures tell us, was
the ransom price which won COM
plete forgiveness for all mankind.
Again and again the sacred writers
speak of the blood of the Son of
God as the price paid for our sal
walton.
1.-THE blood of Jesus Christ, His
Son, cleanseth us from all sin" says
John. aye were redeemed by the
precious blood of Christ" writes
Peter. I'm Whom we have redemp-
ton through His blood" exclaims
Paul. And Christ Himself, in one
of the most solemn moments of
His life, said This is My blood,
which is shed for the remission of
sins"
In other words, the man who has
found his redemption in the blood
of Christ, is assured of complete
forgiveness of all his sins To him
the blood of Christ has spelled the
difference between an eternity in
hell and an eternity in heaven.
Small wonder then that Christians
of all ages have prayed: His blood
be on us and on our children"
No man could crave a greater bless
ing. And we invite you cordially
TO share this blessing with us.-ST.

Would a World
Government Solve
Our Difficulties?
Nv Charies D. Rowe

The world is marching with ter
rifying speed into a third world
war. And if that horrible posi-
bility is permitted to fall upon the
nations of the earth, It will mean
the virtual destruction Of mankind.
Another world confiagration will
not be primarily a contest OF ex-
plosives. Instead it will be fought
with poisons and disease germs,
carried into the contending nations
by guided missiles.
Organizations such as the League
of Nations and the United Nations
have always proved futile when
put to the final test of maintaining
peace. There have been thousands
of them during mankind'S history
and they have always failed.
Such was the gloomy picture
placed before his audience by DR..
Vernon Nash, a representative of
United World Federalists, while lee
turing before a gathering Of the
Libby p T. A. on Wednesday Of
last week. While DR.. Nash's message
could be considered highly dis
couraging, yet he had a more cheer
full thought, a solution to stave off
the world-deStruction that is speed
ing so rapidly toward us as he
thinks. It is a world federation,
a combining of all the nations of
the world into a per-goVernment,
into whose hands would be placed
the maintaining of world peace and
the handling of all international af-
fairs
This is a proposal that has been
much discussed of late. 1t has |
strong support throughout the
world Such a world -government |
would be patterned along the fol-
lowing lines:
It would have a police force
strong enough to enforce peace.
It must be able to raise revenue
by taxation.
It must have system of courts n
and a congress chosen by the u
peoples of the world.
It must control the atom bomb
and all heavy weapons. National
armies must be only large enough
10 maintain peace within each ma
TONS borders.
1t must be a limited government,
with no power to interfere with any !
nations internal affairs.
II must have a constitution, pro-
visions for amendment, and no
power of veto by any nation.
Whether or not this is another
Utopian dream that will never be
realized remains to be seen. There
are tremendous obstacles against
such a proposition. On the other
hand. if such a World- Government II

These are only a few of the many
possible dangers that would have
to be most carefully considered by
this nation. However, the blessings
that could follow from a successful
world government would be noun
famous in extent Imagine what
could be done for mankind's bene-
fit with the billions that could be
saved by the removal of war. Think
of the thousands of schools and uni
versities, hospitals, theaters, art
galleries, homes, parks, miles upon
miles Of super-highways, etc, etc.

fIoT tberefron would be beyond
calculation.
DR. Nash said a world-congress
would probably be organized large
" similar TO the u. S. congress. one
house composed Of an equal mum

state: the other house of members
chosen according to population. ~ ~

an example. We are the rlcheeSI

envy of the world. We are heart

CRYING for handouts from us. Iney

liberal. Furthermore, millions OF

IN a world congress, based on
population, what would happen TO
the United States? We might finTd
ourselves a small minority at the
mercy of the rest of the hungry
and covetous world. And we could
not help ourselves. AS was wisely
said at the Libby meeting by MIR.
Rolseth, a congress based on popu-
lation would turn the world over
to the Asiatics.
Furthermore, what would happen
if our borders were thrown open
to unrestricted immigration? Mil
lions of people would flock to what
to them is believed to be haven
of peace and untold riches Soon
we would be heavily over-popu-
lated, labor would suffer, our
would be under terrific
strain and our priced standard of
living would be lowered to the
world level What is left of our
rich resources would also be open

A DIFFERENT TYPE OF OFFICIAL
 INVESTIGATOR

Juneauites enjoy seeing and listening to the lm- promptu service club speeches of those who form constant parade of official visitors to the capital o1 his much discussed Territory. Many are men ot ability well informed generally and very likeabe but lew of them impress being very interested in the fficial purpose of the trip. The quickest way to
 snose of the official excuse for the trip, is to hold hurried public hearing at which most of the tlne
 spent in asking questions of the witnesses and the ast in listening to whoever managed to get on the rogram first regardless of ability to present the sub oct or how biased the witness may be. The greater art Inf the official visit is spent in sightseeing and ,cial affairs all of which is broadening and may nave some remote benefit in the distant future.
 Those who met MT Harold A. Jones, member f the Civil Aeronautics Board, who visited Juneau a ew days ago, pleasantly surprised. He knew the economic and geographical factors which control the ,attern of airline development in Alaska, not rom ny guide book but because he knew the facts as re- orted at hearings in Alaska had studied the re- orts made by the office of the Board in Anchorage, nd was familiar with the multitude of petitions and ,ases now pending before the Board. It IS apparent hat he didn't come to Juneau to go sightseeing, Tor is daytime hours consumed in arms-length con- srences with the operators who say they really hao hance to present their problems In fact some or hem felt he knew the problems and evaluated them etter than the operators theHseiVes' iio "a' -e i discuss the merits and demerits of the various methods of solving the problems of an industry with rowing pains Those problems must be solved In a manner which is authorized by law, not detrimental n the public and if possible in manner which VIII -,e nratical in the opinion of the operators,
 MT Jones found time to consult municipal and Territorial officials and sound public opinion He appeared to be man with business and administra- i've experience who quickly grasp the complicated roblems reduce them to the simplest terms and get 1t the vital issues Our bet is that he will come up gith the most practical answer and get some prompt action.
 We haven't seen such sincerity diligence and horse ense since the visits of Senators Butler of Nebraska and Congressman Herer of Massachusetts There have been a lot of the other kind all of which are en- ioyabe and interesting experience for Aaskans put always not very helpful.

KITTEN HITS BEAR;
 BEAST BACKS UP;
 SCAT FINISHES II

A three ee-month-old unna m
 mostly manx" kitten yesterday il- lustrated the rashness of youth. Mrs. E. c. Nichols, who lives in
 West Juneau, heard a rumpus on the back porch yesterday morning. She peered out of the window in the back door.
 There was full-grown black bear on the porch stealing food from the kittens bowl. AS Mrs Nichols watched, the kitten march, led onto the porch, up to the tow e-ing bear, spat once, hissed and swung. It's claws dug the bear in the nose. E&
 The bear backed away from the howl looking puzzled, Mrs. Nichols said. It thought for moment, then wound up and got ready to swing at the kitten.
 But Mrs. Nichols saved the rash | ly youthful cat from destruction. She opened the door, said, "Scatp' and the bear turned and slowly lambled away.
 Today the kitten is learning to answer to it's new name-Samson.

worldit r.volves around Ubangi down in Africa thinks the world revolves around him. We'll of course, we know better-it revolves around us.
 So the manner in which we ourselves have fared during the past year is the most important thing. If we didn't do so well, then the world didn't either If we struck it rich started to do so, then the world is pretty well off after all If we're a Re- publican, things lousy politicay-if Democrat, things are still looking up If Communist the world is turning Capitalisticif Capitalist, the world is turning Communistc.
 And so each one of us peers at things-some of us believe we are dismal failures others of believe we the trolley and boiling along.
 Along comes Thanksgiving Day and brings with it sort of focusing on how did last year. What have to be thankful for? Will the turkey go down with relish--or with vinegar?
 If the past year has kicked us around bit, then day after tomorrow let's tighten our belts and get ready to kick it right back. But if the past year has added to success let's not slacken down. but keep on punching But let's watch our punches-atter all, the other guy wants to celebrate Thanksgiving Day too

TURKEY AND THINGS LIKE THAT

Tomorrow is that great day when everyone knocks off except Mother she climaxes week or more of shopping, thinking planning, worrying by knocking herself out over the stove and hoping everything is done to a turn.
 And tomorrow doesn't finish her chore either. For several days she must entice the household to finish up the big bird by preparing it in all manners Of varying cold cuts, frcassees. stews and eventually hash And chances are the family before it finishes up the eavins', will moan ssthey never want to see another turkey" That's the thanks She gets.
 Days of Thanksgiving, despite the fact they must apparently be proclaimed" each time come annually and each year, we be thankful for something Or at least so it says here
 The very nature of the holiday season causes us to look back at other Thanksgiving Days We never look back at the last July 4 for example but there's something about tomorrow which causes us to pass in review before ourselves And it seems if it isn't one thing it's another before us
 In our earliest days, of course, we were too en- raptured over the fine feed to do any thinking Then as time passed we something to be thankful for we guess but we always wondered why things coudn t be little better Then the next time perhaps they were better-and then they were worse And so it went.
 It seems of late that about all we could be thankful for during the war years that were still alive And since those daysstts been practically the same With the added thankfuness that had few dollars ieft after taxes landlords grocers, and people like that
 As nation we look at things differently than as individuals Nationally, give thanks we are the most well contained nation on earth, and as lndi- viduals we give thanks in varying degrees on the same score But of course, Thanksgiving Day doesn't put us to thinking of ourselves as nation-lt puts us to thinking of ourselves people. And after all the center of the universe right is banging at ths typewriter something about the holiday tomorrow

thing-from polio to the common cold. At one time or other, nearly everyone on the staff has been bed ridden with some disease; at least three have died during the past de- cade-victims of their own research.
 For such risks, these doctors are paid a modest government salary ranging from S4,500 to slo,OO0' though they could earn far more III private practice. They don't work for the glory either, since ther discoveries are kept anonymous by the Public Health Service. Yet their selfless research goes on.
 The doctor in charge of polio re- search, for example, is pr. Charles Armstrong who spent eight months in bed and nearly died from Tul- aremia. or rabbit fever, and also came down with Dengue fever parrot fever, Q fever and eneeph- alitis on other assignments. He is now searching desperately for a sarum that will prevent polio, is testing other diseases which might be given as an inoculation agalnsl polio. He has finally traced the Coxaxe virus, which causes a mild disease sometimes mistaken Tor oolio to slIcklinp mice.

 Another important research tass force, under Dr Leon Atlas, is ex- ploring the common cold.

 Another disease, which means al- most certain infection to anyone experimenting with it, is Bangs disease or Brucellosis. No one has suffered more from this disease than Dr. Alice Evans who did the pioneer research at the Bethseda laboratory. She has now retired, however, and turned the work over to Dr. Carl Larson.
 All research in the laboratory is under the general supervision of Dr. Karl Habel who has been bed ridden with c fever and ence- .phalitls, but is now searching for a more potent rabies vaccine.
 These doctors are, just a few of the unsupg bureaucrats who are giving the taxpayers their money $ worth. 4
 Note-To cut down the alarming disease and death rate, the Public Health Service built new, mod ern laboratory for these doctors in 1946. Inside. the air is sucked away from the researchers, then heated to 450 degrees in order to kill all germs before being discharged in to the atmosphere. In spite of such precautions, the doctors still catch the diseases they are studying.

Unsung Bureaucrats

Thousands of words have been rained upon the reading public about the inequities of bureaucrats. However, there are bureaucrats and htreaucrats and without some of them, the government couldn't func- tion today.
 For instance, a handful of medi- cal bureaucrats are risking death and disease every day to safeguard the health of others. The door out side their bureau at Bethesda, Md, might be covered with quarantine signs, but one sign alone tells the story 'snfectious diseases"
