Floods Still Menacinq
In Several Areas, but
Outlook Is Improving
BY the Associated Press

Floodwaters continued to men
ace areas in the Midwest, South
and Pacific Northwest today, but
conditions in the major water
sheds generally appeared i'm
proved.
The Mississippi River food
crisis in the Missouri Illinois re-
gion appeared to have passed.
But the II, 400 refugees from the
Birds Point-New Madrid Flood
way in Southeast Missouri were
cautioned not to move back to
their homes prematurely.
There also was a marked i'm
provement in the Nations wealth
er. There were only few severe
cold spots and only a few areas
were hit by rain or snow. Tenn
peratures generally moderated.
The Weather Bureau reported
"hot" weather in parts of the
Rocky Mountains. The mercury
hit So at Sheridan, Wyo., and so
at Billings, Mont.
Temperatures in the Central
and Northern Rockies and parts
of the Central Great Plains
climbed from 80 to 40 degrees
yesterday. The high at Pueblo,
Colo, was rs, a record for the
winter season. At Goodland,
Kans., the top was 73 and it was
50 at Denver. The 81 at Salt
Lake City was a record for the
date.
Snow in Pennsylvania.
The only subzero areas today
were parts of Minnesota and
North Dakota and in Northern
New England. Some snow fell in
Pennsylvania and New York and
Michigan. There was rain belt
from Northern California into the
Pacific Northwest and Western
Montana.
The rains in the Pacific North
west came as many rivers spilled
over their banks. National Guard
units in Washington State were
alerted for flood emergencies.
The heavy rains and thawing
which brought flood threats in the
Pacific Northwest also caused
landslides in the Cascade Noun
tains which blocked East West
highway travel in Washington
and along the Columbia River of
Oregon. Trains were delayed as
much as "a hours.
The Columbia River highway
was blocked after series of snow
and earth slides and the Oregon
Trail, from Portland to Astoria,
was periodically impossible.
Bus Service Halted.
Bus service was halted in Wash
ington and curtailed in Oregon.
A survey of the Birds Point
New Madrid Floodway and levee
is planned today by Brig. Gen.
P. A. Feringa, president of the
Mississippi River Commission, and
Col. L. H. Foote, Memphis district
engineer.
Some improvement was re-
ported along the st. Francis
River in Arkansas, but the situa-
ton remained critical. Thou
sands have been driven from their
homes in Missouri and Arkansas
by the flooding st. Francis and
other Mississippi tributaries.
In West Tennessee, near Dyers-
burg, about 3,400 persons have
fed their homes in the lowlands
and evacuations are continuing.

Robbery Attempt Smashed
By Police; | Dead, | Shot
BY the Associated Press

ELIzABETHTOWN, Pa, Jan.
21.-Police broke up an attempted
robbery here today and shot it out
with three men attempting to
break through police lines. One
was killed, one wounded and .
third captured.
Lebanon City police and State
police from the Lebanon barracks
identified the dead man as Frank
Stadler, 42, Baltimore; the wound
ed man as Ray Weber, 40, Balti-
more, and the captured man as
Earl Firestone, 33, Lebanon.
The police reported the three
were trapped in the Grubb &
Brennan grain mill in this small
Eastern Pennsylvania town late
last night.
The men were ordered to sur
render but refused and took refuge
among sacks of feed meal. Then
they attempted to make break
for it and police stopped their
flight with a hail of bullets.
Weber was taken to Good
Samaritan Hospital in nearby
Lebanon while Firestone was
jailed. No charge was filed i'm
mediately.
Police at Lebanon said that for
10 days they had sought to capture
a gang of robbers who had been
looting grain mills in Lancaster,
Dauphin and Lebanon Counties.
They said they noticed suspi-
cious looking car last night and
trailed it to the Grubb & Brennan
mill. There, they said, they caught
the trio in the act of robbing the
place.

GrossIund Forming
Stressed For Needed
Posture Improvement

Grassland farming, aimed at
| strengthening national defense
and bringing farm production into
| lasting balance with needs of the
American people, is being stres-
sed in Mississippi agriculture, ac-
| cording to L. /. Jones, director,
| Agricultural Extension Service.
Mississippi has made a big start
| during the past decade toward
balancing row crops with pastures,
but is still Tar short of having the
5000, 900 acres which should be
in improved pastures, Director
Jones said.
This grassland farming program
will place new emphasis on pas
lures as the foundation for more
livestock to keep up with the ma
tons growth in population, good
nutrition, conservation of soil and
water resources, and higher net
income for farmers.
Agricultural workers of all
agencies will continue to support
the pasture Improvement effort.
Experiment Station branches
| throughout the state have up-to-
| date information for any farm
, and any kind Of livestock.
Business and professional
groups will also continue to help.
Banks and other lending agencies
are generally willing to work with
farmers who have a longtime
plan and who use management
| practices known to be profitable.
! Dealers in fertilizer, seed and
insecticides are cooperating to
supply the needs of the expanding
pasture and livestock program.
Much land subject to erosion
and low in fertility should be in
| pastures instead of cotton or other
row crops, stated w. R. Thomp-
son, agricultural Extension Ser
vice associate agronomist who is
widely known as the Pasture
Man" Grassland farming will
save the soil from erosion and will
raise the fertility.
"When we get our soil in pas
lures and protect 1t from erosion,
we can grow all the grass and
clover that our livestock in Mis-
sissippi need, and can bring in
more income for the farm fam
ily," Mr.. Thompson declared.
In grassland farming the same
land serves four purposes, offer
ing the farmer all the grazing his
livestock need, hay for winter
feed, silage, and seed to sell, the
hgronomist pointed out. Insurance
that insects will not destroy pas
ture crops or steal livestock pro-
fits is provided through the ento-
mology program. Entomologists
L. c. Murphree of the Agricultur-
al Extension Service, and DR..
Clay Lyle Of the Experiment Sta
ton and State Plant Board give
farmers the latest information
about poisoning to control insect
pests.
Director Jones and Mr.. Thomp-
son were called to Washington, D.
C. in November, where they
helped draft a ten-point national
grasslands program. This pro-
gram includes balanced farm plan
ming, wise use of fertilizer ma
terials and farm manures, proper
management of both pastures and
livestock, control of weeds and
insects, proper harvest and stor-
age for forage, good legume and
grass seeds, and appropriate Gre
dit and conservation payments for
pasture improvements.
