Corn Crop Estimate
Falls 18 Pct. in Virqiniu >
By fhe A.socioied Pres,

RICHMOND. Dec. 19.-Virginia
will produce an estimated IL ,624,-
900 bushels Of corn this year
not 50,760, 900 as was forecast last
month.
That is a whopping drop-18
per cent-and State agriculture
officials want the public to know
why. The main reason is the 1850
census.
On the basis of census figures,
the United States Department Of
Agriculture has revised estimates
of both yield per acre and acreage
planted for corn back to the last
agricultural census in 1945. The
December crop report shows these
revisions. The November report
did not. Thus the drop.

Client Opposes Perry,

Choice for Judgeship

President Truman's nomination
of Joseph s. Perry as a Federal
judge-the only one of three pres
idential nominees supported by
Senator Douglas, Democrat, OF
Illinois, for judgeships in that
State-is opposed by a former
client, a Senate subcommittee dis
closed today.
An open hearing scheduled for
today was postponed until 10 an.
tomorrow. Senator McCarran,
Democrat, of Nevada, chairman OF
the Judiciary Committee and the
subcommittee, said an earlier
hearing was scheduled by the in
ternal security subcommittee to-
day.
The subcommittee on the judge
ship nominations has not set a
date for hearing on President
Truman's nomination Of Cornelius
j. Harrington and Joseph j.
Drucker of Chicago as Federal
judges in Illinois.
The President disregarded rec
concentrations by Senator Doug
las and the Senator served notice
that he would oppose conf1rma-
ton of the two nominees.
Senators Douglas and Dirksen,
Republican, Of Illinois, were on
hand for the hearing on Mr.
Perry's nomination. Before an

Senator McCarran revealed
however, that Mrs. Ida B. Vogelei
of Chicago notified the subcom-
mittee that she would oppose Mr.
Perry. Mr.. Perry told reporters
that he represented Mrs. Vogelei
in a lawsuit in 1949 concerning
boundaries of her farm at
Wheaton, H., where Mr.. Perry
lives. He explained that he OBJ
tanned a settlement in her favor
but that she later refused to

Power Companies Reply
To Truman's Criticism
By the Associated Press

Two power company presidents
yesterday took issue with Presi-
dent Truman's recent criticism Of
private power.
The President sent a letter
Monday to James G. Patton. head
of the National Farmers Union,
saying that industry spokesmen
told us at the time the Rural
Electrification Administration was
set up (1935) that farm electri-
fcation had gone about as far as
it could 60"
That statement was challenged
in statements by George NJ
Gadsby of Utah Power & Light
Co. and J. w. Parker of the De-
troit Edison Co.
Far from claiming the farm
job is DONE" Mr.. Parker said, "the
electric industry has emphasized
that day-to-day developments in
farm electric service will continu-
ally open up new ways to better
living and greater national pre-
paredneSs."
Mr.. Gadsby said I'VE are cele-
brating not the final crossing of
the goal line but the fine score at
the end of the first half"

Weed Control
LoomsAsFuture
Project Work

A step to encourage efforts for
solution of the weed control
problem on the Seville unit of the
Blackfoot Irrigation Project has
been taken in the joint work of
the Soil Conservation and the
Blackfoot Irrigation Project dur
ing the last three weeks.
Pointing to the Roadway made
in statement to the Chief Tues
day, c. W. Hobbs, local head of
Soil Conservation, and lark
Stout, engineer for the Blackfoot
Irrigation Project. said that dur
ing that period they had sprayed
rs miles of right-of-way of the
main canal and 25 miles of SINH
lar area along laterals.
The spray composition is under
the commercial name of PAD
Ester. The quantity they used
was two pounds to the acre.
The work was directed against
the Canadian thistle, a vicious
perennial that in late years has
been making steady encroachment
upon much of area served by
the Blackfoot Irrigation Project.
1t was understood from Hobbs
and Stout that the Blackfeet
Agency roads department, in
charge of / ngineer Linn Brown,
is to make a contribution by
spraying Indian road right-of-
ways in that section.
The Blackfeet Tribal Council
is sympathetic towards the weed
control efforts, it was understood.
Its aid will be determined when
a large-scale program has been
worked out.
Since the area embraces Trib-
al, allotted and decided land, with
but a fraction of it under Indian
title, obviously, success in weed
control hinges upon the coopera-
tive efforts of Indian and non
Indian ranchers.
To this end it is their COM
mon obligation to work out
program in the creating of a
weed control district. Machin-
cry is provided by a Montana
statute. Just how this could be
achieved, with entailment Of both
state and federal authorities al
present, is for some bright mind
to fathom.

Wild Hay Crop
Prospect Bright;
Harvest Beginning

Although alfalfa stands on the
Blackfeet reservation have suf-
fered set-backs, which will ma
terially discount their value this
season, wild hay prospects were
never brighter, according to OPP
inion of leading ranchers.
Wild hay in lowlands. where
there were water accumulations
as the result of June rains, are
attaining a heavy growth, they
said. On other area the growth
compares with that of the previ-
lous season-an almost exception
al one.
Continuance Of the pre- e t
, warmth and sunshine, which be-
gan the latter part of June. will
provide maturity of quality and
quantity to the rancher's liking.
Some ranchers began t h e r
harvest this week. The harvest
by the end of next week should
be pretty much under way.
Despite last seasons h eavy
harvest, there was no carry-over,
late winter and spring weather
requiring heavy feeding to de-
ptete almost every morsel of hay.
In other cases. hay was sold
off the reservation.

Tribal Council Work
Reviewed For Year

The Blackfeet Tribal Council
has adopted a new program on
credit and cattle operations. The
loaning program will go into eff
feet at a later date.
Because of the large obliga-
tons that were paid out the past
year along with funds that were
used for loans, relief and admin
istration functions, this Council
has not made a per capita share
payment. 1t must be noted here
that advances on per capita that
were paid out by the previous
Council total $50, 534.41 and this
amount shows on record as liza
bility or debt against all of the
individuals that have received an
advance.
Several members of the Coun-
Gil have been per capita pay
ment-minded" for veral
months. However, it was i'm
possible to make such a payment.
At a regular meeting of the
Council July 9, 1851 a resolution
was passed stopping the loaning
of money in order to build up a
surplus of money for a per cap
ita payment to be paid out some
time this fall.
In closing, the present Council
is to be commended for t h e ir
achievements for the past year,
although there can be many i'm
provements made.
1t will take good judgment,
wisdom and tireless effort of the
Council to carry on the success
full operations of one of M n
tana's biggest corporations, the
Blackfeet Tribal Corporation.

man, Blackfeet Tribal Council.
