A man of intelligence and quiet

Interior and Insular Affairs.
Many Of his colleagues continue
to call him, Governor" recall
ling his four terms in Albany.
Washington knows that Leh-
man has given much to his
country. No newcomer to the
capital, Lehman was appointed
Director of Foreign Relief and
Rehabilitation in 1912. In 1943,
he was unanimously elected Di-
rector General of UNRRA. Leh-
mans son, Peter. died on active
duty as a lieutenant in the Air
Corps. His remaining son and
daughter also served overseas.
No stranger to military duty
himself, Lehman came out of
World War with the rank of
Colonel and the Distinguished
Service Medal.
Despite the fact that Lehman
has been involved in politics
since his election as lieutenant
governor of New York in 1928,
he has always found time to aid
Zionism and other Jewish COM
munal and philanthropic causes.

Jews Among U. S. Lawmakers
BY MILTON FRIEDMAN
Copyright, 1850, Jewish Telegraphic Agency I

The II Jews in Congress are
perhaps the most overworked
men in Washington. Not only do
they continuously battle for Ii
beral legislation to benefit their
constituencies and their country
but many labor late into the
night in efforts to aid Israel.
The most recent arrival here,
but certainly one Of the most
distinguished, is Senator Herbert
H. Lehman, of New York, who
was seated last January. While
Lehman is the only Jewish Sen
ator, 10 Jews are to be found in
the House of Representatives.
Jews, of course, led many of
the battles in the House for
FEPC and civil rights. Rep.

Emanuel Celler, chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee, was
responsible for passage of the
so-called "Celler Bill" a step

While none can be considered
''left-wingers," Jewish Congress-
men have affiliated themselves
with the most liberal elements
of their parties, providing a bal

of their Christian colleagues to
the extent that they are often

the best way of handling certain

In most parts of Montana on deep

If the first crop is to be cut for hay

If the ground is dry when the first

Sprinkler Irrigation
The irrigation of alfalfa by sprin-
kler is coming into the state. Many
of these systems will put land under
irrigation for the first time. The
frequency of irrigations will be
about the same as for the surface
methods.
Deep, medium, or heavy soils will
probably take up to 6 inches of
water at one application. The usual
application will probably stop at
or inches because of the cost and
time required to make heavy appli-
cations. This means that the goal
should probably be to apply water
to the alfalfa crop as it is needed
rather than trying to store it in the
soil for future use.
The exception to this would be in
the case of fall irrigation after the
last crop is taken off. When the
ground is dry in the fall irrigation is
recommended, whether the sprinkler
or surface method is used. Fall irri-
cation should be done by Oct. Is or
well in advance of the time the soil
freezes up.
New Alfalfa
It is, of course, desirable to have
soil in a moist condition at seeding
time. After the new alfalfa plants
have attained a height of or 4
inches, the first irrigation should
take place. Irrigation should be fire.
quent and light for the first season.
If the alfalfa is planted with a
nurse crop it should be irrigated
more frequently than is customary
for the nurse crop alone. 1t is better
to cut the nurse crop for hay SO that
irrigation can be resumed, rather
than letting the ground dry out to
ripen the crop.
If there is not sufficient moisture
at planting time to get the seed ger
minated and started, it should be
irrigated either by burrows or CORFU
cations or by sprinkler rather than
flooding.
