 NOTES
By LEW HANKS


 Our winter winds have started. ] had hopes that we would gel away one winter without bad blow or two but we just aren't lucky. There are a lot of things we can learn though by observing the results. Check the width of the snow cover remaining on the lee side of wooded fields How far out does the drift extent from fence hedgerows and brush pat ches7 How far out from the wind break does the soil begin to show signs of blowing? Are those smooth slicked over spots that show soil removal showing up2 How dirty are the drifts getting? Now is the time 10 get out and look.
 It's easy now to figure out where you should have wind breaks. Locate them now. Next spring all you have to do IS start putting them in. Do you know how to start establishing wind break? It's easy. Just forget to ploW- along that strip for a couple of years. You will have a wind break started to seed naturally in that time. Do you want -o know how to remember to forget to blow that Windbreak locatlon2 That's easy too. Just drag a few logs and stumps out in line along the location of the Windbreak. Then next spring it will be too much bother to move them 90 then it's easy not to blow that Windbreak location.
 While the wind hoWled around your ears the last few evenings did you think how nice it would be also to have a Windbreak around the house and farm yard? We'll now is a good time to start on that too.
 r:- =.
 We seem to be getting a record snowfall this year. It got late start but seems to be making up the deficit fast,
 I suggested last week that we all check wind erosion after our blow. We were lucky. The wind velocity dropped So there was practically no soil erosion by wind from that storm I hope we can continue to be that lucky.
 I saw some interesting figures on agriculture from Hugh John son of the Agricultural Research Administration last week. There are over 300 producing COWS in the Valley now. IL is my own es- timate that there are at least 400 head of additional young stock being raised. The Valley is begin ming to grow up.
 Another interesting fact is that the average milk production per cow in Alaska is much higher than is the average in the States. In fact, there are only two States where the average milk produc- ton per cow compares with Alas ka at all That speaks well for the progressiveness of Alaska farm CTS. Individual head production $ often much higher than the State or erritorial averages. We can raise our herd averages lot yet by good breeding and good feed ing practices, but even now Alas

discredit Ambassador Chester
Bowles. in India, with a view to
influencing the national election.
He added that they had tried to
beat him four years ago through

over to Philadelphia, where he
makes major speech in late

clared a school holiday. and the

lanes over the route of nearly a
mile between the Pennsylvania
Railroad Station and City Hall
plaza where he spoke. Deputy

there.

they are adhering to "the Commu-
mist, Fascist, anti-religious doc

means" in their efforts to win
the election.
The peg on which the Presi-
dent hung this charge was the

scribed this as a "cruel and brazen
hoax" designed to destroy the

pie in their Government "by
means of distortion and lies"
Again charging the Republicans
with the big Lie" Mr.. Truman
pointed to the steps this Govern
ment has taken to check Com

Truman doctrine in Greece and
Turkey. He enumerated also
