Catholic Conference
Urges Improvements
In immigration Laws
Special Dispu.eh 10 The s,or

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept,
23.-The National Catholic Ru-
raj Life Conference yesterday
passed a resolution urging the
administration to give further
consideration to such changes in
our immigration laws as will
make them both democratic and
Christian In purpose and ac-.
ton"
Another resolution approved
by the body praised American
efforts to help peoples of under
developed areas to help them
selves.
ITO this end we again heartily
indorse those efforts, both public
and private, which assist peoples
OF underdeveloped areas to raise
their own standards of living
and to make their own work
more productive and rewarding /"
But pointing out that technical
assistance programs are long
range ones and that many ma
tions need help now, the
conference urged that "our cur
rently embarrassing food sur
pluses be used to advantage. i.
For immediate needs, quick and
charitable action is required"
Still another resolution called
for support of "all sincere efforts
to achieve world peace and effec-
tive universal disarmament"

In Air Freiqht Rates
BY the AssocIated Press


The Civil Aeronautics Board
yesterday proposed a Is per cent
increase in air freight rates.
The board said the increase
appeared necessary to enable
airlines to meet cost increases
since present minimum rates
were established in June, 1948.
The board gave airlines seven
days in which to file written
notices of objection.
The proposed new rate is 20
cents a ton mile for the first
l 900 ton-miles of any one ship
ment, and 1914 cents a ton-mile
for all ton-miles in excess of
1000 for any one shipment. A
ton mile is the transportation
of one ton of weight for one
mile.
The current rate is Is cents
a ton-mile for the first 1000
ton miles and 13 cents for
amounts above that total.

ACP Signups
Increase

WHEN FARMERS call on their
neighbors to discuss soil and water
conservation problems, the result
is increased interest in conservation
practices and detectives.
That is the conclusion reached by
Production and Marketing Admins
tration committeeman following re-
view of reports on the 1858 Ag-
ricultura1 Conservation Program
farm-to-farm' signup in Montana.
AS evidence, they say 1881
farmers and ranchers have request
ed ACProgram financial assistance
to carry out needed conservation
measures this year. In 1852, 1855
operators indicated their intention
to carry out conservation work with
ACP aid. The 1858 figure may go
even higher, since operators may
still request assistance, provided
they were prevented from doing
so during the signup period be-
from the county or acquired an in
terest in farm after the Dec. 81,
1852, closing date.
Farm-to-Farm Contract
The farm-to-farm' method of
contracting farmers and ranchers to
discuss conservation problems right
where those problems are located
was followed this year by PIMA
community committeeman. These
elected committee members helped
their neighbors determine which
conservation problems are most
urgent and explained the assistance
that is available to help meet these
problems.
The increase in requests for as
Sistance-17 counties report in
creases of more than so per cent
over 1852 and the statewide in
crease is rs per cent-poses some
problems for PIMA committees, too
Chairman r. J. McKenna of the
State PIMA committee points out
that ACP funds are limited and that
in past years ALLEGATIONS to coun.
ties have seldom been sufficient tt
allow approval of all requests fol
assistance.
Less Money. More Requests
This year So 1886, 900 has been ten
tatively allocated to aid Montan;
farmers and ranchers in carrying
out conservation practices. Las
years ALLEGATION was $3,400,000. o
course, funds for this years pro
gram are contingent upon congress
sional appropriation. with tentativ
ALLEGATIONS being based on the pro
gram authorized by the last cor
gress.

found out with rush this year what
significance their annual event holds
for producers in Montana. The COM
bination of good show and unus-
ually good weather brought out
crowds that overtaxed all facilities
at all events on the program Jan.
22-24
Well over 100 growers of 1egumes,
grains and potatoes from fully two
thirds of the counties in the state
placed entries in the show. Awards
ranging from sweepstakes to seventh
place were granted to more than rs
individual contestants by Judges E.
E. Isaac, extension horticulturalist,
and Ralph Mercer, extension agron-
omist. Many entrants won several
awards. Plaques for the top win
ners were presented at the annual
banquet by Leonard wager, assistant
extension horticulturalist.
Standing Room Only
1t was standing room only when
a crowd estimated at 1900 persons
swarmed into the Harlem Civic CEN
ter Friday night for the old fiddlers
contest in which 20 hoedown ex-
perts competed. This same pace of
attendance was maintained for the
general events Saturday and the con-
Guiding event, the banquet Saturday
night. The committee had set 200
places in the high school auditorium.
Actually nearly 800 persons were
served and others had to be turned
away when the food ran out.
1t was a potato grower from the
Kalispel area who took the sweep
stakes award in the potato show.
Frank Logan & Son, Creston, won
the honor with an entry of Melted
Gems. AS this issue goes to press the
sixth annual State Seed and Potato
show is in progress at KalispeIl.
Since many of the entrants in the
Milk River show are also competing
in the Kalispell show, rivalry is
keen and all records for competition
and attendance are being broken at
the Kalispel event. Final results
will be reported in the Feb. Is issue.

Types of Wells

serves TO 1nQ1caLe the type OF well
that should be put down, as well
as the probable water supply. A
Where shales are present to con-
siderable depths, however, the shall
low water supplies must be relied
on. Supplies that occur in weathered
sha1e and in some cases in uncon-
so1idated materials above the sha1e,
are usua11v very limited, and enter
well slowly.
A sma11-diameter drilled we'll
would WELD little under these condi-
tons. Instead, the LARGE reservoir
capacity of dug well is necessary
to collect and store water in large
enough volume for economical use.
Absolute accuracy cannot. of
course, be attained when interpreta-
tions are made of rock formations
that cannot be seen. Some of the
GEOLOGIC disturbances that have oc-
CURED are not reflected on the sur
face. Fortunately, however. these
cases have been relatively few in
number and the GEOLOGIC Information
has been of great value thus far.
In some parts of Montana, parti-
cularly the intermountain basins in
the west and the g1aciated areas in
the north and northeast, determine
ton of groundwater conditions from
surface examination is difficult and
many times impossible. There. the
experiences and results of drilling
in similar areas must be taken as
indicators. The logs of existing wells
are particularly valuable for the de-
termination of the locations and
depths of new wells in those areas.
In some Instances. however, the
most favorable locations for wells
can be determined only by actually
drilling.
Successful Experiences
During the last Is years, the Soil
Conservation Service biologists have
supplied in Montana the information
for the location of 1854 successful
wells and development of 1888
springs to provide additional water
for domestic and livestock use. and
for the location of SO successful ir-
rigation wells. They also have saved
farmers and ranchers considerable
sums by showing them that good
water is not available within reason
able distances below the surface.
Thus, the expense of drilling numer-
Gus dry holes has been avoided.
Further, the geologic information is
being used advantageously in analyz-
ing the states drainage problems.
How much of the water from rains
or snowfall that seeps into the shall
low groundwater supplies depends
IN large measure on how well runoff
is controlled. In numerous areas.
the replenishment of groundwater
depends on seepage from the rain
and snowfall into the land adjacent
to the well or spring, over which
the farmer using it has some meas
ure of control. Conservation of
water, through reduction of runoff,
not only benefits the vegetation on
the surface but also permits more

face investigation before arriving at
conclusions about the groundwater
supplies in areas where original in
vestigations must be made. Places
where the rock formations come to
the surface, as on hillsides and in
stream valleys, are sought so that
the rock layer or layers may be
examined. Logs of existing wells,
reporting the materials through
which the drilled wells have passed,
are valuable. The land surface is
examined for evidences of upheavals
and faulting that may have dis
rupted the rock formations.
Where the rock can be examined
at the surface, its capacity to yield
water can be determined. If it is
porous sandstone, the chances for a
satisfactory water supply are usually
good provided the sandstone layer
has continuity and extends into the
zone of saturation. But if it is shale,
the chances for water are usually
poor. A shale bed will not permit
water to move through it readily,
and might yield only small quanti-
ties of water-possibly none. Water
from shale beds below depths of
about 100 feet is almost certain to
be poor quality. Shallow dug shale
wells sometimes yield good water
of very limited quantity.
Conditions for REIMBURSEMENT
Conditions that are favorable for
the replenishment of groundwater
also may be noted on the surface
where rock formations show. In
some places, stream flow is an indi-
Gator. Where several permanently
flowing streams cross an area where
sandstone is visible at the surface,
for example, the sandstone contrib
uteS to the stream flow.
Ground Water Flow
Water in the ground responds to
the same gravitational laws that af-
feet water on the surface. 1t cannot
