IYu|e Fund Treasurer
Charged in Theft Tale

A 38-year-old treasurer of a
social clubs Christmas fund, who
told police yesterday she had been
robbed of the $500 fund ,shas been
charged with making a false re-
port.
Mrs. Olive M. Cason, of 1874 D
street Sc, told police an elborate
story of going to the bank yesters-
day to break the money into small
bills. When she returned, she said,
a pistol-wielding bandit knocked
at her back door. demanded the
money and kicked the telephone
out of her hand when she tried to
call police.
Police; said Mrs. Casson adj
mitted she contrived the holdup
tale because she had spent the
money belonging to the Eveready
Social Club.
Robbery Squal detectives said
they suspected her story of the
robbery because of discrepancies
between the story she told them
and the story she had told pre-
|cinct officers who originally re-
Sponded on the call.

/ L. w. Jeffery, special assistant
to Senator Brewster, Republican,
of Maine, yesterday criticized Gen.

His retort raised questions as
to whether he intended any

Alaska Visitors
 Assn. Membership Drive In May

JUNEAU-The Alaska Visitors Association announced recently that their first annual member ship drive would be conducted throughout the Territory during the month of May.
 Enough memberships have been obtained through voluntary subscriptions to get the organiza- ton established on a firm basis" they continued. "All businessmen will now be asked to join in this cooperative effort to advertise and publicize the tourist attrac- tions of Alaska"
 Jim Chadwick, executive direc- tor of the organization explained that the Alaska Visitors Associa- ton does not ask for dollars alone but also invites the active participation of the individual subscribers. A participating mem bership makes the subscriber eligible to serve on the board of directors and to vote for all offic- CTS of the n0n-profit corporation.
 'Just a small portion of the advertising budget of each busi- nessman, diverted to this com mon effort will enable the Asso- ciation to make the tourist in- dustry the biggest dollar volume business in Alaska" Chadwick said.

Only Two Barrow Sled Dogs Die After Treatment By Airborne Drugs

AN0HORAGE, P)-Nearly 200 valuable sled dogs have died in a swift epidemic in northernmost Alaska, but airborne drugs helped save 300 others.
 The Army reported Saturday that only two animals have died since March A in the wave of disease which began Feb. 8.
 The distemper epidemic, un- usual for native dogs, occurred in the Point Barrow area on the Arctic coast where travel in win ter is largely dependent upon dog teams.
 Military authorities announced earlier this week that drugs rushed to the Barrow area by combined efforts of the Army, Air Corps and Navy checked spread of the disease.
 Maj. Martin Kadets, Alaska Air Command veterinarian, said the Barrow outbreak was a more vir- ulent type of distemper than ex- perienced among dogs in the States.
 ''It is only coincidence" he said that this should occur while the Anchorage area is experiencing a mild epidemic. However, it must be remembered that the disease is highly infectious and could cas- fly be carried from one part of the country to another. Past cases seem to indicate that the disease occurs in about three month cycles"

MOP Tea Get
Weeds in Flax

THE DAY of weed-free flax may
be closer than we think
Two new chemicals, MOP and Tea
have shown the ability to remove
nearly every annual weed from flax
without seriously injuring the grow
ing crop.
MOP acts in much the same way
as the more widely used 2,4-D. 1t is
applied at the same rate and destroys
the same type of broad-leafed weeds.
The most important difference be-
tween the two chemicals, according
to E. J. Mitchell of the Flax Institute
of the United States, is that MOP
is less likely to delay maturity or in
jure the flax.
Unlike either MOP OF. FAD, Tea
destroys pigeon grass (foxtaiD and
most other grass-type weeds. It so
happens that flax is one of the most
resistant of all plants to the effects
of Tea, and it has successfully with
stood many times the recommended
application of So lbs. per acre.
Farmers are cautioned against
spraying Tea on fields in which flax
is used as companion or nurse crop
for alsike or red clover. Established
stands of alfalfa or sweet clover can
be sprayed safely.
To obtain most complete and eco
nomical destruction of weeds, MOP
and Tea may be mixed together and
applied at. the same time. Such a
combination offers effective control
of almost every common weed except
wild oats.
To be most profitable, spraying
should be done just as soon as most
of the weeds have terminated and in
any case, before they reach inches
in height Many farmers make the
mistake of waiting too long.

Land was being ruined, but nothing
could be done about it until the
seepage problem was solved. Now
the area is rapidly on its way back.
It was once known for its fertility
the farmers aim to restore it to its
former status.
And across the river, farmers in
the states newest irrigation district
have food for thought :. they can
appreciate from the experiences on
the Pease Bottom the sagacity of
the SCS technicians in designing the
drainage setup along with the irriga-
ton systems. It's soil conservation of
top order.

Drainage Is LifesaUer for
Drowning Farms
By TRUMAN c. ANDERSON, State Conserpationist

dumped into slough areas gradually
disappeared. Because there was not
a plentiful season-long supply of ir-
rigation water, cultivation was not
intensive.
Then, about Is years ago, a diver
sion dam was built in Yellowstone
river. It provided enough water for
season-long irrigation. Averages of
beets and other intensively cul-
tivated crops increased. More irriga-
ton water than necessary was used,
but still there was no way to dispose
of the waste.
Consequently, the accumulation of
seepage water seepage from the
supply canal which is now full all
season, from too-heavy irrigation,
and from the dumping of irrigation
waste water into depressions- raised
the ground-water level near the sur
face.
Water Level Too High
Effects of this were first felt on
low lying areas of heavy soil away
from the river. The ground-water
level stood too high for most crops
to grow, while the ak ali salts
brought to the surface made the land
even less suited for cropland use.
Through the years, this situation
spread until large part of the Pease
Bottom was affected to varying de-
grees.
Reclamation and conservation OF
this land started with a request tc
the soil conservation district super
visors for technical aid. The Sol
Conservation service, aiding the dis.
trict, made a topographic survey il
1913 and sank a series of test wells
to study the rise and fall of the
ground water and its direction Of
movement. The wells also furnished
information about the material be
meath the surface, which was founc
to be largely of a sandy nature
The SCS designed the drainag,
system after studying the test we'll
for year. The very slight slope o
the land posed many problems TO
the technicians. The planned system
contemplated total of 1871 miles o
bitches, including main drains AM
laterals. At first the farmers though
to organize drainage district. Thel
they decided to 90 ahead on thei
own.

WHEN A GROUP of farmers in
the Treasure Soil Conservation dis
trict decided a couple of years ago
to cooperate in development of the
Hysham Bench irrigation project
they were determined to avoid so
far as possible the mistakes made on
old projects.
For a SOLDERING example of one of
the most serious errors, namely, the
failure to provide drainage systems
that would both dispose of irrigation
waste water and control the ground
water table by intercepting and di-
verting seepage water, they had only
to look to the other side of the Vel
loWstone river in their own soil con-
Servation district
i There, lands in the 6,40o-acre
Pease Bottom irrigation district had
been badly damaged because of lack
of proper drainage. Some of the land
was out of production. Some was
producing little. The seeped area was
spreading. Areas white with alkali
salts brought to the surface were
multiplying.
Happier Story Now
A happier story now can be told
about the Pease Bottom lands, how
ever. Through cooperation with the
soil conservation district, the farm
ers there are building a comprehen-
sive drainage system that was de-
signed by the Soil Conservation serv-
ice. Construction has been done or
a pay-as-you-go basis. The farmers
pooled their PIMA payments, ther
made up the difference from theil
private resources
Irrigation began on the Pease Bot
tom, nearly level area nesting be
tween the Yellowstone river and The
tablelands to the northwest, many
years ago. It's story is one that seems
common in the west. The early set
tiers first used the flood flows @
Alkali, Edwards and Muggins creek
for flood irrigation systems. Thel
about 1904, they organized the pres
ent ditch system, getting their irriga
ton water by gravity flow from tn
river.
There was more water than coul,
be used early in the season. But late
in the year, when the river was low
