owned by Stockard and Company
provided one of the many very hu-
man interest stories of the sink
ings. Ripped open by a torpedo
north of Cape Lookout and near
Core Banks on March II, the little
Caribsea sank in less than two min
utes.
Ocracoke-born Jim Baugham
Gaskill, mate aboard the vessel,
had told his skipper that he was
tired and thought he would turn
in at the end of his watch instead
of remaining on the bridge to see
the glow of Ocracoke Light on his
native island which was soon to
come in view. The Caribsea never
raised Ocracoke light that night,
and Gaskill and all the crew, ex-
cept the five on watch including
the skipper, were lost.
The Atlantic Refining Company
tanker John D. Gill was torpedoed
off Cape Fear on March IL and
three days late Socony Vacuum
tanker, the Ario, got between
Lookout and Hatteras.
Hatteras Incident
Next day, after the Ario, the
Texas Company's 11,682-ton Aus
tralia was attacked in broad day
light and crippled so badly she be-
gan sinking within sight of the
Cape here.
Before she finally sank beneath
the quicksands of Diamond Shoals
several days later Hatteras fish
ermen went aboard the ship and
started salvaging various types of
gear ranging from hawsers and
cables to foods and paints. They
were doing what their ancestors
were famous for doing when ships
were wrecked along this coast.
The modern day wreckers ran
into difficulty however, when they
carried their gear to Norfolk for
selling. Wrecking was not the
same as it had been in days gone
by, and especially during early
World War-II days. Coast Guard
Customs, Navy, and the Depart
ment of Justice made much of the
salvaging operation by the Hat
terasmen, and the Hatterasmen
profited little for their efforts and
work.
On the same day the Australia
was torpedoed, another ship, the
San Demetrio was sunk off the
Virginia Capes.
Greek Freighter Sunk
A ship flying the colors of
Greece, the Kassandra Louloudis
was torpedoed in the same general
area off Cape Hatteras where an
other Greek, the Tzenny Chandris
had broken up and gone to the
bottom five years earlier.
The Tzenny Chandris was one
of the dozens of ships which haul
ed scrap iron to North Sea port:
prior to the War, from the new
port of Morehead City. In thos,

100000. 1t is "a fair statement to
say that little of this amount
would have ever been recovered,
except for the work of the GAO.
Naturally, l am proud of this rec
ord. But, l feel of greater impor-
lance is the work the Office is do
ing to prevent illegal or IMPROVE
dent use of funds by the improve
ment of accounting and auditing
throughout the Government.
In the past few years the GAO
has placed a great deal of en-
phasis on the joint program of the
Secretary of the Treasury, the Di-
rector, Bureau of the Budget, and
the Comptroller General for the
improvement of accounting, bud
getting, financial reporting and aud
iting in the Government. Equal
emphasis has been placed on the
adoption by the GAO of compre-
hensive and other on-site audits of
the departments and agencies. The
concepts of these two programs
were unanimously adopted by the
Congress in the Budget and Ac-
counting Procedures Act of 1850.
Remarkable results are being
achieved. Although we who are
working with the programs every
day know we are just commencing
to get beneath the surface of many
of the problems involved, actual
savings already accomplished run
into millions of dollars each year.
In addition, improved efficiency of
operations in the accounting and
auditing fields, which cannot al
ways be estimated dollar-wise, has
been of great significance.
With the tremendous growth of
Government activities and their
supporting appropriations, we in
the GAO are keenly aware of the
financial problems facing the Con-
gress. The magnitude of expendi-
lures makes it of utmost impor-
lance that the Government seek
every possible means of obtaining
full value for each taxpayers dol
lar spent. In our work, we are max
ing an all-out effort to create a
greater cost consciousness on the
part of every department, agency,
and bureau. This goes not only
to keeping the public spending
within the laws enacted by the
Congress, but to exposing or bet
ter yet preventing extravagances
which, although legal, cannot be
tolerated under present-day condi-
lions. Yet you and l both know
that economy in government can
not be accomplished by any one
agency or individual. Each and
every officer and employee of the
Government and each and every
citizen must make his contribution,
for real results can only be achiev-
ed through day-by-day, continu-
ing attack by all of US.
Sincerely yours,
LINDSAY WARREN,
Comptroller General
of the United States

MP the soil with a kadoE, which is a
short handled shovel that is used
like pick. The next step is to flood
the land and churn it up with
bullocks or by hand until it is thick
and soup-ike.
Then, barefooted women come in
and transplant the rice in this soup
by hand. The women must do all of
the planting, otherwise the seed will
not grow. At least, it is supposed to
grow much better when planted by
females.
Rice Main Crop
The rice is well cared for and the
yields are good. Since it is the main
crop, most of the fertilizer available
is used to produce it. Manure, COM
post and koli-mati "a peat-ike soil,
which is dug at a depth of six to
twenty feet under grounO are the
only fertilizers used.
In most areas only manure is avail
able and it is very scarce and val
liable product. Cows and water
buffalo are kept mainly for the
manure they produce and also to
produce a few bullocks. While they
do milk the cows the production is
really not much of an economic fac
tor. Buffalo are killed for meat but
cattle, never.
l-Acre Farmers
A typical hill farmer in Nepal has
about one acre of land and five
people in his family. He keeps pair
of bullocks to work and a buffalo
cow and an ordinary cow for milk,
manure and calves. He plants rice
in June and harvests it in October.
He may have three or four sheep or
goats, also.
He usually keeps some chickens
and pickets the rooster out in front
of his porch on string tied to his
leg. He plants some corn and po-
tatoes in the spring and harvests
them between July and August. If
the land is irrigated he will get it
ready and put in wheat or millet

people will have place which is
level enough to enable them to work
the land, even though they do most
of it by hand.
No Roads
There are no roads outside of the
Nepal valley, which is only about 20
miles by Is miles in size. This means
that travel and transportation are by
men, walking over trails. Nearly all
produce and supplies are transported
on the backs of men. Many of the
trails are so steep and hazardous that
even the Tibetan ponies cannot go
over them.
Life is relatively simple in the hills
under these conditions. The farmer
goes out in the spring and plants his
paddy (rice). This is done by digging

ON THE. OPPOSITE side of the
world from the United States, in
Asia, is the small country of Nepal.
It is between India and Tibet and is
located on the south slope of the
Himalayan range. Four of the five
highest mountains in the world, in
Guiding Mount Everest, are in Nepal
or on its border line.
In size it has about third of
the area of Montana. About three
fourths of the area is hills or noun
tains and the remaining one-fourth
is jungle and plains. The entire
southern border is composed of
plains. The northern border area is
very high mountains, many of which
are perpetually covered with snow.
From the valley of Nepal, where
Kathmandu, the capitol and prin-
cipal city is located, the snow-capped
peaks rise majestically into view.
They rise above the lesser ranges
which are $4,000 to 10000 feet high
and can often be seen with their
jagged white tops projecting above
the clouds.
Farm Every Inch
In a country with topography
like this, one may well wonder
where the people live and what they
do for a livelihood. In Montana, this
kind of land would be classed as
grazing land, waste or forest and it
would support very few people. In
Nepal the land is used for agricul-
tural purposes and provides a liv-
ing for about 100000 people 1t is
estimated that about 80 per cent of
the people are engaged in agricul-
ture.
Industry is virtually non-existent
and the crafts and businesses occupy
very few people. Practically all of
the hills and mountains are farmed
up to an elevation of about $4,000
feet. Grazing and some limited agri-
culture are found up to $4,000 feet
altitude.
Most all of the land under Gull
tivation is in terraces. This is neces-
sary because the water must be held
on it for rice growing, which is the
major crop and also the principal
item in the human diet. Another
reason is that most hills are SO
steep they would erode away under
any other method of cultivation. The
slopes look as though Paul Bunyan
had carved himself series of steps
mp the steep hillsides. It is also
necessary to have terraces so the

winter crop. If not, the land may
lie idle in the winter. The corn s
used for human or livestock feed.
The potatoes are harvested when
they get to be about the size of
marbles or else they never get any
bigger than that. 1t is difficult 20
determine which is true. The typical
farmer also produces peppers and
some vegetables, mostly of the turnip
and radish type, which mature at
various seasons of the year. The
radishes are about 3 inches in
diameter and IL to "a inches long.
Many of the vegetables are I'M
familiar and undesirable to the av-
erage American.
Few Livestock
The location of the farmers home
will depend on his family history
and origin. If he is Newari he will
live in closed village. This is a
very compact group of houses with
the farm land surrounding it and
completely free of buildings and
inhabitants. These people in closed
villages have very few livestock be-
cause the number they can keep and
feed in the village is limited and they
have no fences around their land.
If the farmer is Gurka he will
probably live On or near his land.
Most of the houses are two or three
story buildings made of brick with
rice straw matched roof. The first
floor of the house is for livestock,
the second for living and the third
for storage of grains, etc. One build
ing is all that is needed by a family.
The house has no heat, winter or
summer, even though the temporal
lures may get as low as 80 degrees
E. When it gets cold the people
go to bed to keep warm. In the day
time they stay in the sun as much
as possible. They cook over clay
stove which discharges the smoke
into the room rather than out a
chimney.
Jungle Clearance
The Point w Program is primarily
interested in the development of the
country's resources and the educa-
ton of the people. There are thou
sands of acres of malaria-infested,
uninhabited jungleland which pro-
duces nothing in the way of food
for human living. True, these jungle
areas are big game hunters paradise
and maintain fine virgin forest.
Development will consist of malaria
control, clearing the forest and in
many instances, building irrigation
projects. Plans are under way for
the Point Nv Program to assist in
this development
A government-spons organiza-
ton is being set up in Nepal which
is something like an Extension Serv-
ice but somewhat broader in scope.
1t is called the Village Development
Service. The first step in launching
this program was to set up train
ing school for village workers. Here
the workers are taught improved
agricultural practices, basic health
and sanitation measures and reading
and writing.
The work being multi-purpose in
nature it is designed to meet the
needs of the people which are pri-
marily health, educational and food.
The problems seem insurmountable
at times. 1t gives one the impress

and varieties of broad-leaved weeds,
grasses, and field and vegetable
crops Aim this time was to deter
mine how much damage the foliage
can take from application of naphtha,
kerosene and shale-oil fractions at
the Seeding or later stages of de-
velopment. Four-inch greenhouse
clay pots were filled with potting
soil, and seeds were planted thick
enough to obtain a uniform stand of
the test plants. He watered them
often enough for good growth.
Finally, to study the weed-killing
virtue of oils for control of weedy
grasses, he applied shale kerosene,
shale gas-oil and petroleum diesel oil
to pasture land in which downy
bromegrass and hairy chess were
plentiful. All these oils were applied
in per cent emulsion.
Growth Regulator
DR.. Bohmont used the terminating
pea seedlings as an indicator. of what
shale oil could do to plants. He found
that shale oil in low concentrations,
like 2,4-D, is well able to regulate
growth-to the point of stopping
growth altogether.
In the effect of shale oil on growth
of grass seedlings, the naphtha frac-
ton, sprayed in a 2-per cent emul-
sion on the foliage of the seedlings
at different growth stages, arrested
normal growth. But as the plants
matured they tended to overcome
the dwarfing effect At the same
time, abnormal responses showed up
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-06-01

in the form of adventitious roots, or
branching at the nodes.
Vapors of shale oil had a damaging
effect on development and growth of
bean plants. Naphtha in its lower
boiling range caused damage to foli-
age, reduced plant height, and held
back normal development of leaves.
Stimulates Bean Growth
But at volumes of 2 to 10 gallons
per acre, naphtha acted as plant
stimulant. Production of dry beans
was upped around 500 pounds per
acre where shale oil was applied
when the cotyledons were emerging
and the first true leaves were form
ing.
In this connection the expert
menter is of the opinion that some
ingredient in the naphtha fraction
is the agent responsible for the stim-
ulating effect on bean plants. Chem
ically, shale oil is highly complex,
just like petroleum oil, and deal of
analyzing has to be done before this
ingredient can be identified and ex-
tracted from the oil.
At Laramie, on the University of
Wyoming campus, the Agricultural
Experiment Station is fortunate to
be neighbors to the Petroleum and
Oil-shale Experiment Station of the
Bureau of Mines, U. S. Department
of the Interior. Here, chemical en-
gineers do the fractionating of oils
and also analyze the fractions for
impurities of many sorts.
One of these impurities, Belmont
believes, when found will have the
answer to the secret whereby bean
plants are stimulated when low con-
centrations of shale naphtha are ap-
piled. The Bureau and the Univer-
sity have a cooperative agreement
whereby the Bureau provides the
oils and chemicals needed for re-
search in weed control
Selective Action Possible
In the effect of shale oil as a di-
rect control of weeds, selective re-
moval from crops is possible. Boh-
mont set up table in which he
showed the effect of applying the 8
shale-oil fractions at 20, 40, and 80
gallons per acre to 26 different
species of plants, including grasses,
field crops, vegetable crops and
broad-leaved annual weeds at diff
ferent stages of growth.
For example, by applying 20 gall
Ions of shale gas-oil per acre to seed
ling onions "a plant very tolerant of
shale oiD, one can control the seed
lings of kochia, marsh elder, Indian
mustard and Russian thistle without
much injury to the onions. 1t also
appears possible to control Seeding
wild oats, kochia, marsh elder, sun
flower, Indian mustard, rough pig
weed, Russian thistle, and tansy
mustard in Frontier barley by apply
