Herdmal1 viii Head
Bureau Group
On Korea Project

Robert F. Herdman Of rr~~din
construction engineer
Bureau of ReclamatiC
loWtail Unit of the mIssou44
River Basin project, has been
selected to head a group of
engineers for a reconnaissance
study of four water-resource
development projects in the
Republic of Korea, according to
K. F. Vernon, Billings, director
of the Bureaus Region 6.
The foreign assignment, a
part of the United States pro-
gram for aid in the develop
ment of other nations, is the
result of a request from the Re-
public of Korea to the Econ
omic Cooperation Administra-
ton to supply engineering ser
vices to make basic studies and
surveys of three hydroelectric
projects and one hydroelectric
and irrigation project in Korea.
The Korean assignment is
the first foreign program that
has been turned over to the
Bureau of Reclamation in it's
entirety, Vernon said. Hereto
fore, he explained, foreign gov
ernmentS have received loans Of
Bureau engineers and other per-
sonnet to carry on specific jobs,
but the Korean assignment
calls for full responsibility and
performance, under the direc-
ton of the Bureau of Reclama-
ton, in the studies to deter
mine the economic feasibility of
the proposed projects.
Herdman is slated to leave the
United States for Korea about
April 20. He will be accompan-
led by six other Bureau engin-
eers-making up a group of
specialists in the fields of by
droelectric development, geolo-
gy, Mythology, dam design, irri-
cation, and the transmission
and marketing of power.
The Bureaus study program
has been divided into two
stages. The first stage is plan
ned so that the Bureau engin-
GERS can inspect the sites of
the four proposed developments,
review the available data and
evaluate it's usefulness, deter
mine the amount and nature
of work necessary before the
starting of construction, and
ascertain the type and number
of personnel and the nature of
work required to prepare full
reports on the feasibility of
the proposed projects. 1t is eX-

Cancer Crusade
viii Seek
$3.50 In County

The 1850 Cancer Crusade will
seek to raise $3.50 in Big Horn
county to finance expanded
programs of local service and
education and research on a
nationwide scale.
Mrs. Garold Fish, county
campaign chairman of the
American Cancer society, an
nounced that the national goal
this year is $14,565 900.
"We must make an extra eff
fort this year to raise our
share of this money" she said.
efforts of past years. must be
exceeded to maintain the pro-
gress we have made toward
controlling cancer"
Some of the nations fore
most scientists have found new
clues to cancer which open up
avenues of attack previously
closed to cancer researchers"
Mrs. Fish said there is now
hope in scientific circles that
new and successful means of
treating cancer with chemical
compounds will be developed.
"But even without new Scien-
tific discoveries" she pointed
out, lit is now possible through
early detection and prompt
treatment, to save at least one
third of the 100000 who are dy-
ing from cancer each year. One
out of five now living will have
cancer. One out of eight will
die of it. That is too many"
I'VE need funds for our edu-
cation program to send people
to the doctors in time for ear
ly and successful treatment.
We need funds for service and
above all for research to even
tually wipe out cancer"
The campaign opened April 1
and will close April 80 in this
county. ~

Army Cufworrns
Serious Threat
To County Wheat

According to County extern
sion agent N. A. Jacobsen, army
cut worms, which were first
noticed in winter wheat during
early March, have again become
very active and are doing no
ticable damage. Control opera
tons should be undertaken i'm
mediately wherever fcutWorm
damage is noted.
r Toxaphene spray applied at
the rate of two pounds of tech
nical toXaphene per acre is the
best control where there is Suf-
ficient foliage to support the
spray. On bare ground, or where
very little green foliage re-
mains above the ground, spray
ing will be rather experimental,
as there is no Information to
indicate how much kill can be
expected by treating bare soil.
Grasshopper bait applied at the
rate of 20 pounds per acre will
probably be more successful in
those locations. Jacobsen said.
Spray may be applied either
by ground apparatus or air
plane. The county grasshopper
bait mixing station has been
reopened and a few mechani-
cal sprayers will be issued upon
request. Interested persons may
get bait directly from the sta
ton at the fairgrounds.
A recent survey of the cut
worm infestation shows not all
fields to be heavily infested.
Greatest damage has been on
lighter soils or on hilltops and
knobs. Flatter land where the
soil is packed, does not seem
too heavily infested.
Cutworms, however, will mi
CRATE to these areas as soon as
feed on the higher ground is
gone. Farmers should examine
their fields closely and deter
mine what areas are in need
of immediate treatment, either
with spray or bait.

RippHng
of the Rivers

Row Jones of Jones Furniture
Mart in Hardin, certainly got
a lemon last week.
Sent to him by his sister, Mrs.
Jimmy Mcfarland of Ventura,
Calf, the juicy specimen meas
ured 12k inches around the
long way, or 10h the shorter
circumference, and weighed Ia
oZS.
We don't know whether they
grow many of the citrus that
size in California, but compar-
ed with the variety we see in
this area, the lemon certainly
is an extra large contribution.
It may be seen at the Cham
Der of Commerce office.
Some time ago the Tribune
Herald published a number of
names of persons listed in a
new book, who's Who is the
West.
Recently Sam E. Mcdowell of
Kirby wrote us suggesting 9TH
ers in this county should have
been listed in the book. Among
those suggested was DR.. W. A.
Petzoldt of Lodge Grass.
We have since learned that
DR.. Petzoldt was not only listed
in who's Who in the West,
but also in who's Who in
America and "Who's Who and
Why.
There may be others in this
area listed whom we missed,
since a thorough check on the
many names in the book would
entail a good bit of reading,
and we agree with Mr.. McDow-
ell that DR.. Petzoldt should be
land isl a leading candidate
for mention in the book.
Highway At, between Hardin
and CuSter-the portion which
is not oiled-is a disgrace to
the state of Montana as we'll as
to Big Horn county.
Not only is it a disgrace, but
it is a distinct drawback to
those living in the area and
Montana in general. During
certain seasons of the year, the
road is will nigh impossible
and at best is a threat to mo-
torfng safety, especially for any
one who doesn't know the trail.
The state highway commits
sion is slightly jumbled at the
present time, but when it's
Strengthened out if something
isn't done for Highway At we'd
be in favor of canning some of
the commissioners, too.
