hlblted by over 100 prominent
travel agents in the United States,
The islands were also advertised
IN several newspapers and maya
zines. These promotion activities,
without doubt, contributed to the
increased number of visitors to
the Virgin Islands during the past
winter season. At the last meeting
OF the Board of Directors of the
Virgin Islands Corporation, a re-
solution was adopted appropriat-
ing $4,000 for tourist develop
ment purposes provided t h a
$1,000 be matched by an equal
contribution from public and pri-
vate sources. This appropriation
by the Virgin Islands Corporation
Will be of significant value in the
advancement of the tourist promo
ton activities activities of the
Virgin Islands during the present
fiscal year.
Education
eliminating efforts extending
over the past ten years, the Vir-
gin Islands received their first
grant of federal funds for VOC

initial grant of $4,000 was match

Under the new program, equip

made to facilities in St. Thomas
where at present trade level train
ing is provided as a phase of the
high school program. Courses for
boys include electricity, plumbing,
building trades, and automobile
mechanics. The program in home
economics for girls has been com
pletely reorganized to coincide
with approved practices in lead
ing school systems elsewhere. A
similar program has been com

accomplishment there during the

FILM DESTINATION
MOON" LAST TIMES
AT 10Th CENTURY

The very subject matter of such
a film as Destination Moon" which
tells of the first attempt to travel
through outer space via rocket
to the moon, presented a definite
problem in casting Producer Pal
was determined that his space
travel story be completely believable
and realistic.
Destination Moon" is showing
for the last times at the goth Cen
tury Theatre tonight.
The four leading parts in the
film story called for a scientist
both young and wise. 1t called too
for q progressive industrialist ex-
perienced beyond his years. They
also needed an Army general, a
man older than the others. The
fourth role demanded man much
younger, the role of the radar-
radio man who reacts impulsively
to his new experiences, and provid-
ing comic relief.
The four characters are played
by John Archer, Warner Anderson
Tom Powers and Dick Wesson.

farmers for beef cattle in November,
1850, is $10,192.5O Back in 1886 it
cost less than 5000 to seed this aban-
doned field to crested wheatgrass.
Beef production per year averaged
S,7O6 pounds or 8O5 pounds per acre
per year. Even though market prices
fluctuated during the period of the
study the income per acre for beef
grown on this area was from SIS to
$40 per year-a pretty good return
for five dollars worth of reseeding
per acre.
Several important lessons in the
grazing of crested wheatgrass were
learned during this 11-year expert
ence. Perhaps foremost of these is
the fact that crested wheatgrass,
for spring and early summer graz
ing, is a highly palatable, nutritious
grass capable of producing rapid
gains in feeder cattle. In the event
of early fall rains it will renew
growth and provide considerable
grazing until or even after frost oc-
ours. These two seasons, spring early
summer and fall, are undoubtedly
the best times of the year to Craze
crested wheatgrass.
Grazing Capacity

resistant to grazing use but for sus-
tanned high production without dam

WHAT is THERE to look forward
to in terms of heritage and livestock
production in the reseeding of
crested wheat grass on abandoned
plowed and deteriorated semiarid
range lands?
What is usual heritage production
for crested wheatgrass? How resist
ant is it to grazing?
What is its grazing capacity, and
how much beef will it produce per
unit of area?
Answers to some of these ques-
tons have come from the record Of
grazing on a 46-acre area of crested
wheatgrass and from the weights of
cattle that grazed it over an 11-year
period. The study was conducted at
the United States Range Livestock
Experiment station near Miles City
by the Forest service in cooperation
with the Bureau of Animal Industry
and the Montana Agricultural Elk
pertinent station.

During II years this 46-acre
crested wheatgrass area produced
4O,770 pounds of beef; enough to pro-
vide village of $50 people for an
entire year or Is families of four
persons each for II years. The mar
