Methodists Decide To Seek More Help For Planned College

A decision on the site of the proposed Methodist College in Alaska has been postponed, 1t was announced last week. An an- nouncement of the selected site was anticipated, following a meeting of the Methodist board of education in Cleveland, Ohio, beginning April IT.
 The Methodists reported that they found the project of four year liberal arts college too large to be undertaken by any single organization. They will seek aid from other church groups, in the hope of establishing an interde- nominational college.
 It is planned that another oele- gaticn of representatives, made LID of Methodists as well as of delegates from other church groups, will visit Alaska in Sep ternber to make further site studies.
 In the meantime, it is reported that, the Presbyterian board ot missions is assembling materia to push a plan that would make the Sheldon Jackson school a

it was cautioned. However it may strengthen a weak seed to the point where it will not be de- stroyed by soil and seed disease organisms.
 In six lots of oats on which germination tests were run, the percentage of germination ran from low of zero to a high of 52 per cent. The average for oats was 24 per cent.
 Four lots of wheat were tested, with an average of 58 per cent germination obtained. Low fig ure for wheat was 35 per cent and the high was 73 per cent.
 Only two lots of barley were tested. One lot was found to have a Al per cent germination and the second 93 per cent.
 Farmers desiring more informa- tlon on the germination tests should consult either Dr. Litzen- berger or Parker Lester, local Ex- tension agent. -...~-~

Farmers Advised To Have
 Seeds Tested Before Plantinq

A recent test check of seed lots of oats, wheat and hulless barley for several Valley farmers and merchants has revealed 'the vii ability of the seeds, in most cases, to be alarmingly low" according to Dr. s. C. Litzenberger, agron- omist at the Matanuska Experi- ment Station. Viability is de- fined as the capability of growth, it was explained.
 Dr. Litzenberger said, that on the basis of the 12 lots of seed tested, it appears necessary to test every sample of locally grown seed, before it is planted. Farm CTS who have this knowledge of the seed previous to planting, may increase the rate of seeding, to avoid total loss.
 The station agronomist also recommends treatment of seed with New Improved Ceresan or Ceresan M. This treatment will not benefit a seed which is dead,

Mine Carpenter Falls From ScaffoId

George Rupe, a carpenter at the Jonesville mine, suffered very critical injuries in an accident at the mine Tuesday morning. The man missed his footing on scaf- folding and plunged 18 feet to the ground. He sustained serious skull and back injuries.
 Mr. Rupe was rushed to the Valley Hospital. Yesterday his a tending physician, Dr. C. C. Bailey, said that although the patients condition still is seri- ous, he has shown some improve ment, particularly from a severe concussion injury"
 The injured man has family here. His son is a pupil at Palmer School. k

 The geologist found three types of deposits in the Valley, two of them excellent water bearing sources. Sands and gravels left by water from melting glacial ice, and sands and gravels left by streams since glacial retreat, are excellent water bearing forma- tions, it was found Hardpan, known scientifically as gracial till, is almost impossible to pene- trate.
 MT. Trainer noted that one or two wells in this area, which pen etrated bedrock, reached salt water.
 Future plans in the study of wells include test drilling in cer- tain critical areas, to increase geologic knowledge and the pumping of test wells to estab- fish maximum yields of water from the different types of de- posits and from the area as a whole.

but automatic rifle fire caught
him in the chest. AS he lay
on the ground a German SOL
dier asked If he was wounded.
When he said yes the Ger
man put a pistol to his head
and fired. The bullet failed
to do more than penetrate
about half an inch below the
skin, whence it was later ex-
tracted.
His brother Paul, also a

Battle of the Bulge when,
with carbine fire, he covered

enabled it to fall back and

well IN the center row OF irrigated
shelterbelts.
For tapering down again on the
other side, Patten recommends row
of green ash, elm or Russian olive
and then row or two of evergreens
next to the house. The evergreens
give the farm something green near
the house in the bleak winter months
as well as offering more protection
from winds and drifting snow. Pat
ten recommends such evergreens as
Colorado blue spruce, ponderosa pine
and Rocky mountain juniper. He adj
mits they are sometimes hard to
establish but once they are growing
well, they will take nearly any of
Montana's weather possibilities.
S TO 8 Rows of Trees
The average dryland shelterbelt
planting should have from to
rows of trees and shrubs with IL to
| 16-foot spacings between rows. In
| dividual trees should be about or
| 8 feet apart in the rows and shrubs
about 3 feet apart. Eight rows is
/
practical because the snow upon
which the dryland paintings depend
for the years moisture will not drift
any farther. Windbreaks should be
planted on the contour if possible,
where they will catch and hold all
available moisture.
The seedlings themselves, when re-
ceived by the farmer, should be
planted X to 1-inch deeper than they
were in the nursery with roots well
Strengthened. The soil should then
be well packed.
"One thing that has more to do
with shelterbelt success on dryland
paintings than anything else is proper
cultivation" Patten emphasized. I'VE
once thought that the paintings could
be cultivated for the first or years
and then let go. It is now recognized
that good clean cultivation must be
given the shelterbelt for the life of
the trees. It isn't necessary to culti-
vate too deeply, however. A shallow
to medium depth cultivation done
often enough to keep down the weeds
is enough. This means at least three
or four times a year and some farm
ers 60 through the paintings or 10
times"
Conserve Moisture
Much of the reason for the need of
clean cultivation involves moisture
penetration. In most of the dry1and
areas, there isn't enough rain except
in the spring to more than wet the
surface of a shelterbelt. Fortunately,
most of the useful rain comes just at
the peak of the tree growing season
in the early spring. For this reason
farmers should do everything pos
sible to conserve this moisture and
one of the best means is to allow
better penetration through cultiva-
ton. Well cultivated soil in the plant
ings also absorbs more of the water
from winter snow as it drifts deep
into the rows.
The success of dryland shelterbelt
paintings has been so remarkable
that the old homesteader's idea of
putting his house on top of a hill so
he could at least look over the coun-
try has definitely been forgotten.
Now, when a farmer or rancher
wants to set up his house and build
ings, he first considers the soil, drain
age and other factors that will help
