IRRIGATION IS TOPIC OF MEETING TONIGHT IN SCS OFFICE

All persons interested in irri- gation in the Matanuska Valley are invited to attend the Palmer Soil Conservation District meet ing tonight at 8 p. m. in the Soil Conservation Service quarters above Bert's Drug Store.
 Discussion of experimental work carried on by SCS in CO., operation with the Soil Conser- vation District will be the main point of the program. Experi- mental work in irrigation has been done this year at the Frank Linn and Max Sherrod farms where an immediate supply of water was available.
 iScuSs
 Irrigation on 1912 acres at Frank Linn's place this year re- quired as much water every day for week as was used in the en- tire city of Palmer. It cost $1.5O per acre for gasoline and oil costs to apply two inches of water. This supplied moisture to a depth of 16 inches.

 Max Sherrod claims that irri- gation has value for him because he can get ideal moisture condi- tions any time he wants to plant. In this way the market season for lettuce, for instance, can be ex- tended over several weeks in stead of just few.

Dick Starr and Don Johnson,

Morgan Shutout Winner Twice.
Morgan, who lost to the Mats in
his first start, then reeled off
eight straight wins, twice has
blanked Washington. Among his
eight victories are three against
the Mats. who accumulated only
five hits against Tom the last
time they glimpsed him.
New York's pitching has been
battered for 46 hits and 80 runs
in three games. Vic Raschi has
been wild in his last two starts
and the Yankees have dropped out
of a first-place tie, but if it's con-
ISOLATION they need, they'll find it
in the standings of a year ago.
Last year at the same point the
Yankees were tied for second place
three games back of the Tigers,

mits, though, that his bullpen will
have to show improvement if the
Yankees are to repeat.
NOren Absence Handieaps Mats.
In the Yankees last three games

moned II pitchers from the bull
Ipen and got little help from any
of them. He has a highly ac-
Iceptable assortment of starters in
Raschi, Ed Lopat, Allie Reynolds,
Bob Kuzava and Morgan, but he's
getting grief when he waves in
Joe Ostrowski, Stubby Overmire,
Frank Shea, Art Schallock or Bob
Weisler.
The Mats will be handicapped
by the absence of Irv Noren, de-
pendable centerfielder, who will be
missing 10 days because of a frac-
tured jaw. They've called in Dan
Porter, a .317 hitter with Chatta-
Inooga, as an outf1eld replacement.

Pete Runnels has sealed the
Mats shortstop job with his 1923

resignation had been ill-timed.
He said he had been considering
resigning for a year to take an
other job.
McCray backed him up on this.

Marvin (Big Moose) Bass, tackle
and captain of William and
Mary's 1912 Southern Conference
champions and currently the
schools line coach.
Bass, now 81, is considered by
many as a bright prospect for
becoming one Of the country's
best coaches and already has
received acclaim for producing
terrific lines.
McCray has indicated he will
recommend Bass to succeed him.
II Bass does get the job, he will
take over a squad tabled by
McCray as the best since 1947
when the Indians again won the
Southern Conference title. Also
facing whoever gets the job is a
schedule generally regarded as
the toughest in the schools
history against such teams as
