War Veteran Makes Good
On FoOthill Farm
BY BASIL c. ASHCROFT, assistant State Supervisor
Institutional On-Farm Training

A BACKGROUND that reads like
this-raised in logging camp, ed
ucated in the public schools in
Butte, and five years of service in
the army-doesn't sound conducive
to success as a farmer. But the de-
sire to farm and the ambition to sue
coed in agriculture can surmount
such shortcomings in background.
Especially is this true if the man
has good supply of natural in
genuity.
The war was over and he was
home. Tight against the west slope
of the Tobacco Roots and Is miles
south of Whitehall he found the
1873 acres he wanted. With only the
dream in his heart and the wish for
a place to call his own, Charles
Stratton dug deep and made the
purchase.
Soon after moving on his new
farm he heard of the institutional
on-farm training program for vet
Grams that was being started in the
Whitehall high school. Realizing his
own inadequacies and eager for
knowledge that would assist him in
successfully running his farm he
applied for education and training
under the CT. bill. Appearing be-
fore the local advisory committee he
was approved for four years of
training.
Instructors Bernard May and
Curly Robbins assisted Stratton in
making out farm plan as an aid
for him to follow in developing his
farm. AS they went over the place
studying its potentialities and the
possibility of developing it into an
economic unit they were distressed
with the lack of water. They dis
cussed with Stratton the many
problems he would encounter.
Disappearing Stream
Stratton showed them the small
stream running out of a short can
yon at the upper end of the place
The only trouble was that tn,
stream seeped into the ground ant
was non-existent by the time i
reached the farmstead proper. Dur
ing early spring it was satisfactor,
but water for irrigation WASH
needed at that time of year. By tn
time the fields were parched an
thirsting for water there was n
supply.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-12-01

The three men determined, how
ever, that the tiny stream could be
damned within half mile of the
house and a steady supply of at
least 40 miners inches of water be
available all during the growing
season. Upon this basis, and en-
couraged by May and Robbins, STRAIT
ton decided he'd put in sprinkler
system depending upon gravity for
delivery and pressure.
Pipe was in critical supply but
from numerous sources in Butte,
Bozeman, and Helena he was able
to get the footage needed. Some of
it was 4-inch but the majority was
6-inch aluminium pipe. With 800 feet
of the 4-inch pipe he laid two 400
foot lengths from the source of sup
ply to where he ran these through
union into the single 6-inch line.
256-Foot Fall
What he learned in his shop work
at the vets class he put into prac-
tice by welding the pipes into a to-
tai main line length of 2,710 feet.
The actual drop in 2,710 feet of
main line to the first sprinkler
amounted to 256 feet. This 256 feet
of drop gave pressure of approx
imately 100 pounds at the house
with no sprinklers turned on. With
all 33 sprinklers on, the pressure
was found to be SIS pounds.
Total cost of the system was
$1,000. Stratton plans to get his
original investment back in hurry
as this year hay crop was increased
nearly four times over previous
yields. He now has ITO acres that
are being sprinkler irrigated anc
will add 40 acres more next year
AS he develops his longtime farm
plan he intends to rotate grain pas
ture, and alfalfa.
For young single veteran, STRAIT
ton finds himself extremely busy
In addition to the work involved il
the crop production and irrigation
he takes care of his chickens, som
turkeys, pigs, garden and berr
patch and Is head of grade Here
fords. In his spare moments h
cooks and keeps his large 11-roor
modern home as neat and clean 6

Glorious Hair
Con Be Attained
And Retained
BY Ruth Nelson Sawyer

New York (GlobaD = No, this
is no mystery story. There's no
mystery in attaining, retaining a
full crop of glorious hair; it's SIM
ply a matter of cleanliness and.
stimulation. You don't have to be a
lHoudini or Ellery Queen to solve
the problem of your hairs de-
ficiency.
Cleanliness, as always, is the
keynote in the care Of your hair.
If the economic problem deters
you from visiting your beautician
every 7 to 10 days, do the job
yourself. Experiment with sundry
shampoos, until you discover one
which is particularly suited to
your hair, be it oily or dry. Wash
and Oil your hair regularly, and
you will find that your beautician
can do more with it.
Conditioning the hair is a must,
If it is to be alive and look alive.
Lift out your dandruff at least
once week, brushing the surplus
out vigorously at each session. APP
ply any type of hot oil with wads
Of cotton, and massage the scalp
from the nape of the neck to the
ends of your hair. Don't ever ne
glect brushing your hair with at
least one hundred strokes each
night.
Freuent visits to your beautician,
and having her apply steam caps
to your hair for about twenty min
utes, will aid in increasing the cir
culation of the blood in your scalp.
Poor circulation can be one of the
main causes of stunted, brittle,
falling hair. Clipping the ends Of
your hair over the entire head
also aids the process of condition
ing. Under no condition should you
attempt to SINCE your ends with
out someone else in attendance.
your beautician is we'll versed in
the application and administration
of a singe; let her do it.

Local High School Funds Included in Bill Signed Yesterday

A wire received by Mayor Carl Meier from Delegate E. L. Bart lett last week revealed news that may turn the long projected plans for the Palmer School Dis trlct's new high school into real lty within the current fiscal year.
 It stated that $1,114,7OO for the Palmer school project was in cluded in an Alaska Public Works appropriation agreed upon by House and Senate conferees.
 The House and Senate con- ferees meeting last week on the Interior Department appropria- ton bill for the 1853 fiscal year approved the appropriation of S13,200,200 for the APW program, sustaining the Senate action which had granted almost twice the amount of the $7 million earlier earmarked by the House.
 The appropriation bill was signed by the president yesterday, thus per m t ing allocation of funds for Is projects in the Territory, to be restricted, accord ing to the Senate committee re- port, to 'projects for which cleo tions have been held approving local participation, and for which plans have been completed or are in the final stages of develop ment."
 Electors of the Palmer School District approved a $2 million bond authorization for school construction in a school election held last October. Although the local participation will amount to only half the allocation for the project as approved, additional bond authorization was granted pending the day when the district will have school plant complete with gymnasium and auditorium as originally designed by the architects. Only classroom space was included in the limited structure approved by APW a year ago. Final plans for the ap-

district offices. The local union belongs to the Denver district.
 Although the Jonesville miners are naturally interested in the $100 monthly retirement benefits, they are mainly interested in those benefits which bring secur- ity to their families, freeing them from the overcoming worries about hospital bills and needed treatment that is beyond their financial reach, about destitution following death or disablement of the breadWinner.
 When the coal miner goes into the pit, he is fully aware that his chances of being killed or maimed are greater than in any other industry. There are 59 dis" abling accidents per million man hours worked in mining as com pared with 39.8 in construction industries and Is in manufactur- 14lS 1IlOUoCII ICo. l 4IlC H4ON1OIO11S O4 the UNIV Welfare and Retire ment Fund, according to local union officials, compensate some what for the extra hazards of the miners occupation. Through the medical and hospital service of the UNIV fund, disabled and severely handicapped miners are now able to receive in full mea- sure all the skill that modern medicine and surgery provide plus occupational and vocational training that may accompany and follow the period of physical res toration.

SI3 Million EkIufna
 Appropriation Okay; President Signs Bill

The 1853 fiscal year Interior Department appropriation bill signed yesterday by President Truman included $13 million for the Eklutna Project.
 This $13 million was included in the original $20 million author ized for the project at the time it was approved in 1949.
 There has been no further word of progress on the requested auth orization for additional funds to bring the total Eklutna authoriza- ton up to $35 million. The House subcommittee is still investigat- ing the difference between the original cost figures and the re- vised figures on which the addi- tional authorization was based.
 Meanwhile, the low bidder on the last big Eklutna Project con- tract-that of constructing the power house-is already at work this week. The Rue Contracting Company of Fargo, North Dakota is proceeding with the job on it's own without awaiting for the of- ficial order from the Bureau. The first part of the contract job is the construction of 2400 feet of road for re-routing of the Anchorage Palmer highway past the project site. The road will be routed closer to Knik Arm. Subcontrac- tor for this job is the Munter Construction Company.
 In a report on progress made with the other contractors this week, it was revealed that the Ben Berwick Company has al ready completed approximately half of the dredging work neces- sary for the intake structure.
