plumbing, erratic water supply and
a winter freezing problem. With the
new pressure system installed two
years ago, a modern bathroom and
kitchen are now enjoyed plus soft
water. A dependable winter or sum-
mer water supply is piped to the
hogs and cattle in the corral.
A one h. p. electric motor turns
the 1876 G. p. h. pump located in a
concrete well pit. Water is piped
into the pressure tank in the base
ment. Mr.. Wang had the bitches for
piping dug for him but laid the tub
ing and did the complete plumbing
installation himself.
Next to the automatic water heater
in the basement is a similar looking
unit which softens the water for
household use. The softener not only
makes all washing jobs easier but
eliminates most of the corrosion in
pipes.
Fuel for heating and cooking
comes from iquified petrolem (bot-
tied gas) tanks located outside the
house. Heat is from two floor fur
naces that can be operated independ-
emily of each other. The water heater
also operates from the bottled gas
supply.
Most men like pies and Mrs. Wang
has learned to use her 18-cubic-foot
freezer locker in the basement to
take care of this need-especially at
harvest time. She has made as many
as Is at time "a weeks supply for
a hungry harvest crew. and frozen
them in the freezer. Berry and fruit
pies are used for the freezing and
are prepared as they would be for

rigation system making use of water
from a drainage canal that passes
his land.
An elevated ditch, designed by the
technicians, was built from the
drainage ditch up the slope to a
point about midway in an 80-acre
crop field. There it emptied into
the irrigation system that serves As
acres. 1t was necessary to lift the
water about rs feet from the drain
age canal to the elevated ditch.
The upper part of the field was to
have been irrigated with runoff from
the rangeland, stored by dam. But
last year was dry. There was no
runoff, and no water behind the
dam. The upper half of the field
received only the scanty rain that
fell.

Irrigation Made Crop

Irrigation Made Crop
Last fall, Blevin reports, "we got
35 bushels of barley an acre from
the land we were able to irrigate,
but practically nothing from the rest
of the field.
"This crop was important" he
added, because we have grain feed
for the livestock. Without it, we
would have been in fix. Both hay
and pasture crops were short be-
cause of the dry weather"
Roy Weaver, southwest of Big
Sandy, co-operator with the Big
Sandy soil conservation district, is
another who was thankful for the
feed he produced by irrigation. He
operates a cattle ranch.
The irrigation system that the Sos
technicians helped him develop
takes water from Little Birch creek,
which usually flows only during
spring and early summer. The wa
ter is raised to 10 feet from the
creek to the irrigation system.
Twenty acres of alfalfa are irri-
gated. Last year he got good first
cutting for hay. Like Blevin,
Weaver had also built dam to store
runoff water for use after the stream
dries up in summer. But his dam
didn't fill, either. The season was
dry and there was no runoff.

J. E. Umphress near Great Falls,
a co-operator with the Sun River
soil conservation district, is we'll
along toward converting a rather
large dryland enterprise into an ir-
rigated operation through pumping
from the Sun river.
Aided by the Soil Conservation
service, he already has leveled ITO
acres and has installed border-dike
system for irrigating his crops. He
has begun the development of irri-
cation on 400 acres more.
with the system that was
planned for me-" Umphress re-
marked, zone man can irrigate so
acres a day. And still he's not kept
busy all the time"
Joe Fisher near Fort Benton, and
Stanley Gibbs near Meyers, are two
of the many with established irriga-
ton systems who brought new land
under irrigation through the devel-
opment of complete farm conserva-
ton plans.
Fisher, who pumps water from the
Missouri river, is cooperating with
the Chouteau county soil conserva-
ton district. AS part of the farm
conservation, the Soil Conservation
service technicians helped him reor-
ganize an irrigation system that had
been in operation for half century
The job included leveling of land
laying out of new irrigation sys-
tenn, and improvement in irrigation
methods. In the process, 40 more
acres were brought under irrigation

gress, charged "But just as we
helped expose the Trenton Six
frame-up, so will we relentlessly
continue demanding the indict-
ment of Westray's murdered and
fight the crude attempt to white
wash the case. Police brutality
and terror against the Negro peo-
pie must be stopped"
The two witnesses, Dorothy
Jackson and Reese Williams, were
summoned by Walter Goldsmith,
Bronx assistant district attorney
to his office for questioning. They
appeared as requested accompani-
ed by counsel, Julian Trupin, who
was thte American Labor Party

trict attorney last fall.
Goldsmith refused to question
them before counsel, threatened to
have them arrested and held in
so-called protective custody. the
Civil Rights Congress reported
Continuing his bullying tactics he
also threatened to call them be-
fore the grand jury.
Trupin replied on behalf of the
witnesses that they had the con-
stitutional right to counsel at all
times and that they would glad

The hearing on the Westray
Case is being held by the Bronx
district attorney at the request OF
Governor Dewey who has receiv-

white leaders in New York on
the failure to act against Patrol

On August TO- l949, George
Westray. 3l-year old Negro, was
shot and killed by McEnery in
Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx.
Earlier that day Westrey had ask

severe headaches. After a fast
examination, he was turned back
into the streets. Sick and stagger-
ing Westray received a glass OF
water from woman. When
next he asked for water from an
other woman. he was grabbed by
police. Claiming that the sick and
very thin Westray attacked them
