Housing Bill Backers
Visit Hill 10 Get Action

Supporters of a bill to provide
housing for the middle income
group were scheduled to call on
Senators and Representatives
today.
The group, about ITO in num-
Der, represents so organizations in
Is States and the District. The
members are attending a two-day
Middle Income Housing Confer
ence, which opened yesterday in
the Hotel Washington.
Edward Weinfeld of New York,
president of the National Housing
Conference. yesterday urged men,
bers to "go to the Hill" today
land get down to plain political
fighting"
The conference yesterday heard
discussion of the measure that
would provide for 50-year, low-in-
terest loans to housing co-opera-
tives. Among those who addressed
the members were Representatives
Javits, Republican, and Multer,
democrat, Doth OF New York.
Mr.. Javits said the measure
should be passed, but he con-
ceded he has a"grave reservation
as to its practicality." He said not
enough co-operatives have been
formed, even with the inducement
offered for them to organize.
In answer to some criticism that
the measure is socialistic or even
Communistic, he replied that
some conservative Republicans
have pioneered in this field"
Mr.. Multer said 50-year loans
constitute revolutionary think
ing" in real estate financing. He
added that lenders will learn that
mortgages running the life of the
building are not bad investments. |

2 Bus Drivers Pick Up
ParochiaI Students in
Ohio Despite Ruling
BY the Associated Press

LORAIN, Ohio, Sept. 6.-The
row in nearby Avon Lake over
parochial school pupils riding in
public buses was still a hot issue
today
The villages f1ve-man Board of
Education decided after a public
hearing last night there would
be no change in its resolution to
limit use of its three school buses
to pupils of the public school.
which has total enrolment of
about 900.
The Rev. Carl C. Wernet, ST.
Joseph's Parish pastor. says the
parish can not afford a bus to
haul its pupils. His stand was
the public buses should bring the
Catholic pupils to the public
school, then he would lead them
to st. Joseph's. The distance is
about three-tenths Of mile.
Says Issue Is Not Religious.
Walberg L. Brown, president of
the board of education, said the
issue was not religious. He said
the village does not have enough
vehicles for all the pupils. and
added "the main reason fol the
decision is we don't think public
funds should be used for private
schools"
Two Catholic drivers of the
public school buses today def1ed
the board of education order by
hauling 20 parochial school pupils.
A third public school bus TUNED
down about Is Catholic children
who waited at the bus stops.
Catholic parents brought many
pupils by automobile and other
youngsters rode bicycles or walked
to the new st. Joseph's parochial
elementary school which held its
first classes today.
120 Pupils i'm Parochial School.
Father Wernet said lib of the
schools 100 pupils were present
this morning and the missing two
were excused for reasons apart
from the school bus controversy.
The two drivers who took pa
rochial school students into their
public school vehicles are Ralph
Hubert and Arthur Klingshirn.
Both have children attending st.
JoSeph'S school.
No action was taken against
the drivers for defying the Board
order. but they were warned
against continuing to disregard it.

pans, the development of clay pans
and many other processes. These
climatic factors that have been OPP
Grating since the beginning of time
have left a definite impress on all
soils.
Lime Level
In the humid areas of the east
soils are subject to teaching. In the
semi-arid climate of the west lime
is leached from the surface layers of
soil but is accumulated at some point
in the subsoil. The depth of this ac-
emulation of lime depends on the
annual precipitation of the area. So
important is this relation between
rainfall and teaching of lime that the
depth of the "lime layer" furnishes
a good indication of whether the
region is one of low, medium or high
precipitation.
Other factors that determine the
kind of soil are % the parent ma
terial Crooks, etc. from which the

of vegetation, such as grass or tim
Der, and (3) the age or length of
time the parent material has been
acted upon by the elements.
In Montana soils have de-
veloped under wide range of
conditions and from variety of
parent materials. Several hum
dred different kinds of soil have
been identified and many more
remain to be Identified in the
inter-mountain valleys. foothills
and mountainous sections. Thus.
it is apparent that Montana soils
are extremely variable in their
physical characteristics and in
many cases their inherent fertil-
itY.
Most people agree that the broad

Because of the newness of
Montana agriculture IFS soil and
fertility problems are not as acute
as in some states. However this
does not relieve US from the re-
sponsibilitY of attempting 10
maintain and even improve the
productivity of our cultivated
soils.

lion of some soils. liberal use of

underlying purpose guiding the use
of soil resources should be to main
tain the highest possible standard of
living for the people of the state or
nation. Therefore, it is necessary
that we increase our knowledge
about soils through experience and
research.
Settlers in a new area often de-
velop a soil use pattern by the trial
and error method. To certain ex-
tent this has been the case in Mon
tana. When the first prairie soils
were broken for crop production
yields were quite high, but as more
acres were plowed less productive
soils were included. Many of these
poorer soils should not have been
plowed, but allowed to remain in
grass. If this had been the case there
would have been fewer failures dur
ing the drouth periods of 1890 and
1888 1887.
Probably one of the first and most
important problems in Montana agri-
culture is proper use of our soils. In
other words, the shallow, low fer
tility soils should remain in grass,
while the more desirable soils in re-
spect to fertility may be used for
crop production.
Soil and Montana Agriculture
Assuming that the agriculture of
this state will be stabilized at about
100000 acres of cultivated land,
what are some of the soil problems
that will affect the production of
these acres? AS previously stated,
soil variability may be factor. Vari-
ability may refer to depth of soil,
texture sands, sits, clays and
1oams), structure, color and fertility.
All of these characteristics of
the soil may determine its ulti-

of producing good yields. How
ever. the removal of crops from
the land for 80 or more years is
beginning 10 reduce the pro-
ductivitY of many soils. This
condition is most pronounced in
the irrigated areas of the state
where rather heavy yields have
been taken from the land.
1t has been determined that many
of these soils will respond to the
use of commercial fertilizers and ami
NAL and green manures. In fact,
maximum yields on such soils are
dependent on the addition of some
kind of fertilizer.
Phosphorus and Nitrogen
Assuming the soil is satisfactory
from physical standpoint, the main
limiting fertility factors in Mon
tana soils are phosphorus and nitro
gen. Nitrogen comes from the or
ganic matter in soils and it is obvious
that as the organic matter becomes
depleted with continued cropping
and tillage, the nitrogen content
likewise will be reduced.
To maintain production at high
level on such soils it is necessary to
replenish the organic matter and
nitrogen. This may be done by
adding animal or green manures and
Or nitrogen fertilizers.
Naturally this points to the i'm
portance of livestock feeding opera
tons on the irrigated farm. At pres
ent there is a shortage of barnyard
manure for soil improvement in the
irrigated areas.
Organic matter improves the phys
ical condition of soils, increases wa
ter absorption and penetration, in

mate productivity. In other
words. the shallow. light tex
tured soils may be low in fer
filthy. while the deep heavy soils
such as clay loans and silt loans
may be high fertility. Yet
some of these heavy soils may
not be productive because of
poor structure and impermea-
billy TO water.
Color in soils in Montana is largely
determined by the amount of organic
matter present. Thus, the darker the
color the greater the amount of
organic matter. Usually soils high
in organic matter are quite high in
nitrogen and are among the most
productive soils. Exceptions to this
rule might be the heavy, imperme-
able soil mentioned.
Other soil conditions that affect
the productivity of some irrigated
soils are salts, alkai and poor drain
age. Saline or salty soils occur in
most irrigated areas. This condition
is caused by the accumulation of
soluble salts such as sodium chloride
(table salt). The accumulation is due
to lack of underground drainage.
Such soils may be reclaimed by
drainage and proper irrigation.

in sodium and is often called black
alkali. This soil condition is rather
difficult to correct. However, such
soils may be improved by the addi-
tons of animal and green manures,
gypsum, drainage and proper irriga-
ton.
Fertility Factors
The soils of Montana like the soils
of other states, are extremely var
liable in fertility. We usually think
of soil fertility in terms of ability
to produce some form of vegetation.
If crop yields are low we say the
soil is low in fertility and if yields
are high the fertility is high. How
ever, the inherent fertility of soil
may be high, but because of i'm
proper cultural methods, poor drain
age, alkali or drouth, crop yields may
be low. Thus, when considering soil
fertility we need to evaluate some
of the physical factors.
Until quite recently the fer
filthy of Montana arabic soils has
not been problem of great con-
Germ. If the rains came at the
right time the soil was capable
