 Sport Fishing
 Binks Seiffert stated that five years ago sport fishermen could go to Pilgrim River and other spots in this area and get plently of fish. Today there is no fish he stated because of lax enforcement of fishing regulations. Nets and seines have destroyed the fish.
 C. L. Anderson, Territorial fish cries head responded that the Ter ritory to date has no funds and the Fish and Wildlife haven't enough personnel for enforcement. Commercial Fishing
 G. R. Jackson explained to the committee the WorH done in tnc early spring and late fall in sur veying ering Sea for commercial fishing and stated that il was in complete. He urged that a survey be completed.
 Delegate Bartlett responded that there is no doubt in the minds of the committee of the importance of this area in fishing and that the Navy has found evidence of much fish in Barrow. He was sure that the survey would be cOmplet- ed.
 Alaska Development Corp.
 In response to a query by Paul Vaudeville on the proposed leglS- lation called Alaska Development Corp, Delegate Bartlett stated that "continuous control and domina- would undoubtedly result in being detrimental to the country" He stated that he doubted if the bill would be introduced but that new bill may be introduced with "liberalized REC regulations" allowing for more individual in veStment.
 Gold
 Hilky Robinson expressed the necessity of free marketing of gold and explained the handicaps now in the gold mining industry. This method he explained would aid greatly without upsetting the economy of the country.
 C. F. Yenney urged aid for bet ter mining and more roads. He also praised the ANS for handling of personnel, medical attention and supplies for their cooperative stores.
 Tin
 Grant Jackson urged the renewal of mail subsidies for coastWise vessels in order to make it possi- ble for coastwise shipping to exist. He stated that these small vessels were vital to northern mining and in particular to the two tin mines i which operated this past summer. Ore must be transported by water as air freight would be prohibi- tive. He stated that. this season alone 100 tons of ore were shipped and that the quantity would in crease as the U. s. Tin Corp plan ned to work on a year round basis starting next year. 55 tons of tin were shipped to Texas for refining and 45 tons to

Orange-CRUSH tech

reasons why Orange

!. The brown, corrugated
glass structure of the

This is most important
because sunlight is
especially harmful to
orange juice, causing it
to deteriorate quickly.

The Camp staff is grateful
for the opportunity of working
with the young folks. They are
thankful to God for the testi-
monies of many of the campers
and pray that they will carry
on during the coming year.
They have added to the camp
equipment three new row
boats, 2 new tents, pump,
jack, and water tank supplying
running water to the kitchen
and washstands and a new tar
paulin for the crafts area.
The plans for next year are
to add cement floors for the

Meet Tom Ogoshi, Rosebud County
Cantaloupe King

specially. He came TO Montana in
1906 and has been on the Yellow
stone valley farm since 1923. And
1923 dates the beginning of his can
taloupe business. No special secrets
are involved in producing good
melons-at least none that Mr..
Ogoshi can think of. Careful appli-
cation of water and commercial fer
t~ilizers is probably the most impor-
tant thing, he says.
The Harris Best" seed is planted
just after May Is. Rows are AZ inches
wide; hills 5 feet apart. The same
spacing is used for watermelon. The
rows of c~antaloupe are irrigated once
or twice a year, depending on rain
fall. Mr.. Ogoshi warns that if too
much water is used, the melons
won't taste as good or grow as large.
When water is applied, a good
soaking of about 10 hours is given.
Water is never used on the crop
after July Is. The reason is that
better flavor and quicker ripening
melons will result when water is cut
off.
A crop rotation system is used on
the farm but the biggest help in
keeping up yields comes from COM
mercial fertilizers. Treble super
phosphate is put in the cantaloupe
rows with the seed at about Us
pounds TO the acre. In May or July,
just before the first irrigation, 100
pounds to the acre of ammoniated
nitrate is side dressed onto the crop.
The cantaloupe are harvested and
sold about the end Of August. The
market is local, with a good share of
the crop sold in the Billings area
but the melons are also sold east
along the Yellowstone to Glendive
and into North Dakota.

Song Of THE Lazy Farmer

great to sit right here and rest,
to hear and smell things l like
best; the air shifts strong of grow
ing things, the birds dart by on
whirring wings, I hear a tractor
cross the field as neighbor works
to boost his yield; tho I'm too
tired to look I know Mirandy's
scratching with her hoe.
I.feel as sorry as can be for
town and city folks, by gee, who
slave their whole lifetime away
'thout ever smellin' new-mown
hay. They have to breathe just
dust and smoke and even think
that it's a joke that some folks
seldom wear a coat or knot a tie
around their throat. They rush
to catch streetcar or train, and
quiet nights give them a pain;
all week they sit behind a desk
and think that COWS are "pictur-

burned by sun; for most of them,
their strangest quirk is that they
think it's fun to work.
