Republic Steel
Signs Contract
Strike
Action Quickly Follows
}. & l. Agreement
With SteeIworkers
BY the Associoted Press

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 8.-Repub-
lie Steel Corp. and the CIO-
United Steelworkers today signed
a pension and insurance agree
ment which ended a 39-day-old
strike Of $4,000 union employees
against the Nations third largest
steel producer.
The agreement provides:
Insurance - Republics present
contributory insurance plan is
continued, but with increased
benefits. Employees will continue
to pay 312 cents per hour and
the company will pay 21a cents
per hour.
Pension-The plan is an exact
duplicate of the Bethlehem agree
ment.
rs Years for Maximum.
Employees reaching the age OF
IS who have Is years service will
receive a minimum pension Of
500 month including social Sc
curity. Employees IS years old
with Is to Is years service will
receive proportionate pensions.
The agreement was signed by
Philip Murray, Steelworkers' Pres
ident, and by E. J. Magee. acting
director of Republic industrial re-
lations.
Agreement was reached in q
1-hour- -and-15-minute session in
Murray's Office.
Earlier today the union signed
an agreement with the Nations
No. 4 producer. Jones & Laughlin
Steel Corp. That settlement, too.
was in line with the Bethlehem
Steel pact. It ended the strike
of $4,000 workers.
Pact Effective Today.
Vice President Thomas F. Pat
ton of Republic who is also the
firms general counsel said the
Republic agreement is effective at
3 pm. -..~--
He said
| Operations will be resumed az
quickly as possible"
i Republic Steel said in q state
ment:
ut is expected that Republics
plants will be reopened on Tues
day but full production will be
delayed until there is more light
on the coal strike. Republic now
has less than a three-week coal
supply" .. -.... ..--...
Republic Steel, with a total Of
about $4,000 employees. said ap-,
proximately 1000 employees will be
eligible for retirement on Janu-
ary /, although retirement will not
be compulsory.
Third Agreement Signed.
The agreement, third to be
signed among the country's larg-
est steel producers, makes pro-

President Truman-and some of
his cabinet-have spoken out for
Mr.. Lehman in the scrap with
Senator Dulles.
The two men, both prominent
public figures, campaigned hard
to fill out the unexpired term of
former Senator Robert F. Wag-
ner, Democrat, OF New York, a
New Deal stalwart, who re-
signed because of ill health last
July. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey ap-
pointed Senator Dulles to serve
until the election.
Issues Clear Cut.
Senator Wagner's term will ex-
pire in January, 1851. Ordinarily
a race for such q short trem would
excite little public interest. But
the stature Of the two candidates
plus their clear-cut definition OF
issues has projected the scrap into
a preview of the 1850 campaign
where the control of Congress will
be at stake.
There also will be inevitable

EVER PICK up a handful of soil
and let it spill through your fingers?
Us there a farmer who hasn't?). If
you picked up soil from meadow or
pasture land, chances are you no
ticed the granny, crumb-like texture.
Those tiny particles-those little
clods'-play an important part in
crop production.
By the way of comparison, a
handful of soil from an eroded field,
or from a field that's been planted
to o or soybeans for several
years, will be firm and hard. 1t does
not have any crumb-like particles.
When you pillow it, the sclods" T
large and lumpy.
The difference you feel in these
two soils is due mainly to soil ag-
gregates. These are the little
clods," the particles that run through
your fingers. Meadow soils are apt
to have a good structure, lots of
aggregation. Over-cropped soils may
have very little or none at all.
We haven't yet learned how to
measure the exact effect of these
soil aggregates on crop yields; but
we do know that they make the

mer as high as 40 gallons. Cows
watered twice or three times a day
drink almost 40 percent wa
ter than those watered but one
daily and produce up to 20 percent
more milk as a result.
Those supplied with drinking cups
at the stalls will produce from 5 to
10 percent more milk without in
creasing the feeding ration.
It doesn't take a very large farm
with much livestock to need IS, 900
to 100000 gallons of water a year.
It would take a lot of manpower to
pump and carry all that water. An
electric water system is cheaper,
does the work better, and insures
a high grade of milk from cows that
have an adequate supply of drinking
water.
One hundred chickens need 4 gal
Ions of water every day to keep them
in laying condition. An egg is 2/3
water, so it is easy to see how i'm
portant water is for a flock of lay
ing hens. In cold weather an cleo
trio immersion heater will keep the
water attractive to chickens.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-02-01

Increased egg production pays the
bill.
The dreaded cry Of "fire!" need
not hold all its terror for the modern
farmer if he has an electric water
system. An efficiently planned and
installed water system is more than
merely insurance when a fire breaks
out; it is a solid wall for the build
ings and livestock against one of the
deadliest of the farmers enemies-a
p%recaution that helps prevent fires
as well as put them out in their
early stages.
On farms alone. there is an aver
age annual loss by fire of 500, 000,-
900. This is nearly a third of a mil
lion dollars for every working day in
the year. This sum would build TO-
900 homes at $4,000 each, which
would house 100, 1000 persons.
When water requirements for the
farm have been estimated, and the
water system dealer has been con-
suited in the selection of the most
efficient equipment for the well, the
farmer is on the first step to greater
farm production than he ever
thought possible.

Soil That Breathes Is
Soil That Produces
BY G. M. BROWNING, Iowa State College

soil more productive. Here are some
things we are sure of:
Soil aggregates form a porous
structure; they make it easier for
moisture and air to move through
your soil. The soil "breathes."
This porous structure aids the
growth of soil organisms.
And soil organisms, in turn, af-
feet both the amount and the avail
ability of soil nutrients.
Soil aggregation makes for a
granny, more porous soil-one that
drains better and resists soil and
water run-off.
More Than Nutrients
Too often we think of our soil
fertility only in terms of soil nu-
trients. Actually, nutrients are only
part of the productivity problem.
There are many cases where soils
that contain all the plant nutrients
4rom a chemical standpoint) need
ed to produce big yields do not pro-
duce big yields.
They don't produce them because
soil structure has broken down. And
as a result, crops are not able to
make best use of the elements that
are in the soil even though the
needed elements are plentiful.
Only when your soil ''breathes,"
only when air and moisture can
move freely to make the necessary
food elements available to plant
roots, will you get the highest yields
that your soil is capable of produc-
ing.
What Is Good Structure?
Our virgin prairie soils probably
had about the best structure it is
possible to have. This structure was
developed by years-centuries-o1
continuous grass. 1t was a porous
granular structure; one that permit
ted free movement of air and mois-
ture. 1t absorbed the rains readily

The aeration made possible by thu

Electric Water Systems
By w. w. BROOKS

A minimum pumping capacity for
average farm use is $50 gallons per
hour; with that capacity and with
average use, the pump will be run
ming from l to 11R hours a day at an
electrical cost of a few cents a day.
The tank for the water system must
be large enough to carry a supply of
air which may expand or compress
with the change of water level in
the tank. Small tanks provide little
water storage, consequently when
any faucet is turned IN, the pump
will start almost Immediately. Under
such operating conditions, the motor
and pump will start and stop fire.
quently.
The additional cost of a tank of
adequate size is a wise investment.
Larger tanks are used where the de-
mand is heavier and each large job
should be checked according to its
than 20 percent of the tank capacity
is available as a reserve supply. In
the case of the engine driven pump
which must be started by hand each
time the tank pressure runs down,
it is desirable to have a storage tank
large enough to supply the demand
for at least a half day, preferably
longer, so that it will not be neces-
sary to run the pump and start it
every little while.
Investment for Health
Sanitation is another factor that
every farmer must consider in run
ming a farm. The farmer who has
purchased the necessary equipment
for the maintenance of a satisfac-
torily private water supply system
that will provide pure, fresh water
for use in the home and the barn
is on the right road. He will pre-
vent any water-borne disease among
the members of his family and make
it possible to provide the public
with good, pure milk and food.
All livestock does better and pro-
duces more when there is easy ac-
cess to a plentiful supply of good
water. Dairymen report that sea-
sonal slump in production, ever
though the cows are on a dry feec
ration, can be overcome to a con.
siderable extent by adequate drink
ing water. The average COW drinks

stock at all times is one of the most
profitable things a farmer can do,
if done the modern way, with an eff
ficient electric water system.
An abundance of clean water en-
ables stock to add weight faster;
plenty of water is a necessity for
good health, proper growth and
maximum profits for the stock
farmer. Running water piped to
stock watering troughs brings quick
dividends by fattening cattle, hogs,
and sheep in less time with less
work.
Electricity is by far the most salts
factory and dependable power to
pump water with both private power
companies and the government add
ing to rural identification, electric
power will soon become available to
all.
An electric water system is en-
tirely automatic, and provides a cor
slant supply of fresh water. The
pump starts and stops automatically.
The system is automatically oiled.
Even the air supply in the storage
tank is automatically controlled. The
water system requires no attention
whatever, except an occasional in
spection to check it's mechanical con-
dition and state of fabrication.
Thus a modern electric water sys-
tenn with all these automatic features
provides a water supply as depend
able as one supplied by any large
municipal plant.
Planning Important
Planning a water system counts a
lot. The installation of a system of
hot and cold running water need not
be done all at once. 1t can be planned
in three parts. First, the well, pump,
tank, and pipes are run to nearby
outlets where the most convenience
and the most labor saving may be
had. Secondly, additional heaters,
softeners, secondary pumps, storage
reservoirs, etc., are installed. FL
nally, an outlet is made everywhere
you ever use water in your farm
ing and living.
The electric pump is the heart of
the home water system. There is
the shallow well type and the deep
well type, depending upon whether
the depth of the well is more than
25 feet. The size and type of pump
that will do the job in any giver
case depends upon the suction, wa
ter discharge and water require
ments of the household. 1t is Away:
better to buy a pump which has
capacity of more than the imme
diate needs. A strong, sturdy pump
made by a acknowledgement and re
liable manufacturer is the kind t.
get.
Just as in buying a house for
growing family, when a water sys
tenn is purchased, it should be larg
enough to take care of all preser
needs and large enough to take car
of future growth.
Consider Future Needs

Consider Future Needs

A farm family may have greater
demands for water in later years
demands that cannot be seen today.
For example, the family may need a
complete plumbing system, an over
head or porous hose irrigation sys-
tenn. Although it is important that
the size of the pump be fitted to the
size of the well, it is equally inn
portant that the pump be large
enough for present and future water
needs. 1t is an excellent idea, there
fore, to be certain that the well itself
will be able to meet future estimated
needs.
