Forms Fit Production
To Defense Needs

Farmers of Holmes county III
way out ahead in fitting their
farming operations into the Ma
TONS defense production, says E.
r. Trotman, chairman of the
county PIMA committee.
Realizing the vital Importance
of adequate supplies of food and
fiber for national defense, farm
ers are cooperating in the Agri-
cultural Conservation Program.
Through that cooperative effort
they are carrying out soil and
water conservation practices
which check erosion and build
up the production capacity of the
soil.
All indications are that in 1851
they will continue the ACP prac-
tees which stockpile soil fertility
and potential production, the
chairman believes. Instead of
cutting into these reserves by
needlessly blowing up scotland,
farmers cooperating in ACP are
planning to produce all that is
needed and at the same time con-
tinue building up stockpiles of
soil fertility. In the chairman's
words, instead of tieing up
transportation and storage facili-
ties, manpower, machinery and
chemicals in excess production.
these farmers r balancing pro-
duction to defense needs and at
the same time are preparing their
farms for increased production
for the future"
AS a specific example, he
points out that farmers are US
ing the ACP to help produce the
nitrogen they need on their farms
by seeding legumes-b as
cover crops and in pasture mix
lures. This releases for defense
production power, machinery and
transportation which otherwise
would be used in the production
of nitrogen fertilizer.
"By increasing the per-acfe
yields of land, manpower, machi-
merry and materials r released
for the production of military
equipment. And as the fertility
of the land is built up, our farms
are being prepared to meet in
creases in production for the flu
ture."

Forester Raum Advises
On Timber Salvage

Ice damaged trees may still
have a future, according to Fores-
ter H. r. Raum, who advises tree
owners not to rush too fast a.
bout salvaging timber stands da-
mayed by sleet. Many of the
trees may recover, if given {
chance, Mr.. Raum says.
Greatest danger to the dam
aged stands for the next 90 days
Is fire, since SO many twigs and
branches were torn from til c
trees by ice. Owners of timber
stands are advised to be extra
careful that fire is kept out of
these.
1t is necessary to use caution
in cleaning up damage, Mr.. Raum
states, advising that no more be
removed from the stand than
necessary to salvage the material
to protect the remaining trees
from insect attack.
Pine beetles and borers nor
mally do not become active I'M
til the first of May therefore
owners of pine stands will have
longer to salvage timber needed
TO be moved.
Trees partially uprooted or
leaning badly should be held for
at least 30 days, giving them
time to straighten up. Trees UNI
injured or that have only a short
section of the top badly bent or
broken should be saved. as well
as trees having a l6-foot log left
in them and sufficient green
limbs to promote growth.
The trees that need to be sal
vaged within the next 80 days
are those broken off below the
green limbs or with too few
green limbs to survive; o e
with split main trunk; those up
rooted; portions of trees broken
off; or trees still bent over at
an angle of 80 degrees or more
after 80 days.
A trained forest ranger will
advise on removing from the
stand before salvaging, if called
on. Flood Control Forester Raum
says that he will be glad to meet
any landowner of the county who
wishes to be advised with tim
Der stand problems.

which the SATURDAY EVENING POST
seems to object to so strenuously, was
not the result of the Reclamation Blu

Ignorance has no assignable limits;
yet when one hears our railway COM
panies cited as specimins of rugged
individualism, one is put to it to say
whether the speakers sanity should be
questioned, or his integrity. Our trans
continental companies, in particular,
are hardly to be called railway-com-
panies, since transportation was purely
incidental to their true business, which
was that of land jobbing and subsidy

for it, but. it cannot be far off the fact
that at the time of writing, the cur

MORE SENATORS BACK
soil FOR EDUCATION"

WASHINGTON ID. C.-(CNS)-
This week four more Senators -
Lehman, Murray, Gillette, and Lang
er Joined II of their colleagues in
S pport of the proposal by Sen. List
err Hill DALAI to turn over hun
dreds of millions of dollars from
oil leases on the continental shelf
to a program of public education.
Sen. Hill told a conference of
supporters of his proposal that the
"tidelands" tag for these oil lands
is a misnomer-thatt the oil resources
involved are those in submerged lands
including the continental shelf area
many miles offshore. The U. S. Su-
preme Court has ruled these resources
belong to Uncle Sam. Oil coast states
have organized tremendous cam
paign to force the Federal govern
ment to turn them over to the States.
Sen. Hill pointed out that a large
part of u. S. education is now being
carried on with funds secured from
land grants and other resources. His
proposal thus follows a long tradi-
ton, he said.

German Newsmen May
Find Montana Dailies
Interesting Comparison
By EDMUND FREEMAN, Missoul,


Nine West German newspapermen
who will study at the Montana State
University school of journalism ar
rived in Missoula Sunday, September
%. Their training, sponsored by the
State Department, is part of a 're-ori-
entation and re-education" program for
Germany. Dean Ford announced last
spring that they would also analyze
public opinion and study the respon-
sibilities and obligations of the press
in a free democratic society.
Kingsley Martin, editor of THE NEW
STATESMAN of London, recently re-
ported that he had learned a lot from
trip to Germany about the entirely
new problems of the postwar German
press. For one thing, he says, the oc-
cupying authorities fixed the financial
basis of the papers in such a way that
the printers who had mostly been
obedient to the Nazis now decide
the political complexion of the papers
they print. l learnt, too, about the diff
ficulty of using the German press as
genuine instrument of reform and
constructive criticism :. 4. The idea that
the press can bring about changes in
social conditions by creating or rep
reSenting public opinion never existed |
strongly in Germany. 1t died under the |
Nazfs, was not revived under the oc- |
cupying authorities, nor under the pres

points of view, appear to be very rare.
All these psychological defects, l am
sure, could be very quickly remedied
by the appearance of one or two edi-
tors of important papers, who possess
reforming zeal, and distinc-
ton of mind"
If Mr.. Martin is right, it will be in

permen search out the difference be-
tween the German press and the Mon
-ana press.

Asks Appointment
Of Axel Schdde

In a resolution adopted at
its last meeting the ST. Croix
Municipal Council has asked
the Board Of the Directors of
the Virgin Islands Corporation
to appoint vice president Axel
Schade to the presidency.
The Resolution calls atten-
ton to the fact that the govern
mental agency which a S
established "for the economic
rehabilitation Of the people of
the Virgin Islands and has con
tinually suffered from heavy
monetary losses, primarily due
to the fact, that during the
seventeen years of its exist
ence, the Presidents appointed
to direct the business of the
Corporation, with one excep-
ton, have had no previous
experience whatever in man
aging the affairs of a sugar
manufacturing business"
The document then went on
to show that during this period
Mr.. Schade had gained wide
experience, knowledge and
ability of great value, to the
successful operation of t h e
sugar industry in this Island;
and has won the respect, adj
miration and confidence of a
majority of his co-workers,

community, through the de
monstration of his industry,
