have to grow them simply because
we have irrigated land. We haven't
heard anyone complaining about the
surplus of beef or milk or sheep
lately. In fact it has been so long
since some of us set our fork in a
good, juicy, thick beef steak we
wouldn't know just how to approach
it.
Irrigated land produces excellent
beef, lamb, milk and pork. We don't
have to invest nearly as much mon
ey in equipment and machinery to
produce livestock. We don't have to
compete with the dry land wheat
farmer either. The irrigated farm
can be strictly a livestock farm and
a more stable operation than de-
pending entirely upon dryland for
grass and hay.
1t takes time for irrigation prof.
ects to be organized, built and put
into production, so there need be no
fear of immediate surpluses from
new irrigated lands. The federal
program for construction of irriga-
ton projects should be geared to
anticipate future needs for food pro-
duction and the available labor sup
ply with which to build projects.
These projects should be pushed
during periods of widespread unem-
ployment and economic reverses.
The most feasible projects should
get priority. The state program for
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-12-15

built, people agree through legal in
struments to repay construction
costs. The majority of these people
must be for the project. The fact
that there are still people who want
irrigation and are willing to pay for
it is sufficient justification for its ex-
pansion. Since nearly all projects
now under consideration must serve
private owned land, the wishes of
these owners, the availability of
funds and project feasibility will de-
termine the time construction is to
be started.
There are. sometimes other COM
plicating factors of course but we
won't go into those here. 1t seems to
me the procedure for getting an ir-
rigation project in itself, safeguards
indiscriminate use of funds for irri-
cation to certain extent.
Multiple Purpose Complications
However, when irrigation is
worked into a multiple purpose plan
of development this safeguard be-
comes less apparent and more diff
cult to identify. When this type of
program is operated. we must en-
large our thinking to cope with the
many and various factors involved.
That is where most of us get tan
gled up with politics, prejudice and
special interests which are combined
with maze of propaganda. Then
and there the thinking process stops
and we climb on someone's band
wagon and go to town with him, for
getting about the facts that do not
support our newly accepted course of
action.
What Surpluses?
Getting back to irrigation and to
answer the question about potatoes
and other surplus crops-we don't

Maximum Winter
Egg Production

IF THE POULTRYMAN expects /
to get maximum egg production
from his flock during the winter
months-there are several things he
should do now, recommends Boyd
Ellis, poultry specialist of the Wy
oming agricultural extension service.
The ventilation, floor litter, water,
feed, eggs and Gull practices should
be thoroughly reviewed and adapted
to conform to individual problems of
producers.
For example, about ventilation
avoid drafts in the laying house. To
do this, air intakes and outlets
should be placed well above the
birds. A current of air should never
blow directly onto the birds, Ellis
warns. This can be avoided by open
ing windows from the top. Replace
broken window panes and cover all
cracks in the walls of the house.
Poultry needs some fresh air even
during the coolest of weather, but
the control of ventilation is essen
tial at all times.
About floor htter-research data
proves that sbuilt-up" litter works
exceptionally well with laying
flocks. But there are a few facts
about this system of litter that we
should keep in mind
l. Old litter is better than new in
cold weather. Excessive moisture is
less of problem in old than in new
built-up litter.
2. Start new built-up litter with
around 4 to 6 inches of any good
litter material.
3. Make additions of new mate
rial when litter starts to paste over
the surface.
4. Built-up litter should be to IL
inches deep for best results.
5. Remove wet litter from around
water founts and spread old litter
to fill in.
6. Stir, when litter begins to paste
or cake over the surface.
Z. Hydrated lime or pulverized
limestone may be added and stirred
into the litter at the rate of 10 to
Is pounds per 100 square feet OF
floor space when excessive moisture
is problem.
8. Built-up litter is potent source
of valuable nutrients, especially Of
the animal protein factors, including
vitanin BIZ.

A suit challenging validity Of
an Arlington $500, 900 swimming
pool bond issue was taken under
advisement yesterday by Circuit
Court Judge Walter T. Mccarthy.
John Locke Green, county treas
urer, brought the action. He
charged that the August l elec-

Quoted.
Judge Mccarthy said, 1T is
quite obvious that the election
was not conducted in strict ac-
cordance with court order"
There is some question, the
Judge said, whether it was legal
to use voting machines when the
court order provided for printed
ballots.

pearance before Judge Mccarthy

Swami Boy Ordered
To Mental Hospital
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Sept. 29.-Arthur
Swami, II. of Washington, was
committed to a Federal mental
hospital yesterday after he was
ruled incapable of assisting in his
defense to a manslaughter charge.
Swami, who lived in the 500
block of Cove street Sc, had been
charged with manslaughter in
connection with the shooting last
January of Raymond Thorne, 16,
also of Washington, on the
grounds of Fort George G. Meade.
The two youths were inmates of
the District Training School near
Laurel.
They escaped shortly before the
shooting, and took along a rifle
stolen from a locker.
Swami returned to the school
the same night, but the where
abouts of Thorne remained a
mystery until his body was found
six months later on the military
reservation. ~s
A search for Thorne was made
after Swami persisted in telling
authorities at the school he knew
where the body could be found.
Making use of a new Federal
statute for the first time here,
Prosecutor Norman P. Ramsey
filed petition in Federal Court
asking that Swami be committed
to mental institution because of
his inability to assist in his own

Family Facing Eviction, Son Is Missing

He was working as a clerk in a
drugstore and making $50 a week.
But on September II, his Ma
tional Guard unit was activated
and sent to Camp Edwards. Mass.
Norman now is Corpl. Selby.
That's how the difficulties with
the rent case came about.
Mr.. Jones, the NCHA attorney,
said the lease provides for rental
payments in accordance with in
come Of the family unit and was
based on Norman's income. A
SIS raise, which brought Norman's
salary to $50 a week, was not
reported, as required, he added.
On August l, a charge Of $100.50
was placed against the Selbys,
which included back rent that
should have been paid because
Of the added income of Norman
and the new rental figure of $28.50
for the month of August. The
rent previously had been $25 a
month.
Mrs. Selby made four payments
in August and September and as
of now, Mr.. Jones said, the amount
due is $57. This is two months s
rent and 81 court costs.
Court Appoints Attorney.
The court appointed Herman
Miller, attorney, to represent the
Selbys yesterday. Mr.. Jones said
he asked for the continuance SC
that Mr.. Miller would have time
to investigate the case and for the
Veterans Administration to look
into 1t also.
Mr.. Jones said the case was
filed before NCHA knew that Nor
man, the sole support, had beer
called into active duty. When this
was learned, it was decided not
to force eviction but to give the
family time to get adjusted, he
added.
"We know it's a drastic up
heaval to lose the sole supporter,
he said.
Mrs. Selby said Norman hao
made out family allotment from
his Army pay but that the checks
would not start coming until De-
cember.
