Remaining Residents Of Ghost Town
 Up In Arms Over Flying Lead From Sky

GOLD HILL, Utah, R - Gold Hill, like many other western mining towns, probably has seen it's share of flying lead, but it wasn't 5O-caliber and it didn't come from the sky.
 That's why the seven remaining residents of this ghost town in the desert near the Nevada State line are up in arms over an airplane strafing on a recent moonlit night.
 And the unidentified fighter pilot who did it had better steer clear of Mrs. Leatha Willard. She has only a shotgun, but she just might make like a machinegun with it if he comes prowling around in his souped up airplane again and shoots any more holes in her bedroom.
 Mrs. Willard, a resident of Gold Hill since 1907, says she had just got into bed when she heard the plane.
 'I thought at first it was in trouble because of the sudden chatter and roar," she said. But when the bullet hit my house and crashed through the ceiling I knew what was happening. Sud- denly knew something of what war would be like, for my first thought was where can I run?' "
 One 5O-caliber slug, after pierc- ing the roof, went through a cur tain rod, through carpet and plowed a furrow along the floor until it stopped smack under Leatha's bed.
 A gunnery range used by planes from several western bases is on the desert about ten miles east of Gold Hill. The Air Force so far is reticent, saying only that the plane and pilot are unidentified and that an investigation is con- tinuing.

Fish Packers Hit Federal Proposal To Cut Season

SEATTLE, LR v Fish packers protested Wednesday against fed eral proposals to halve the 1854 southeastern Alaska pink salmon seasons.
 Spokesmen told US. Fish and Wildlife Service officials at the start of three-day hearing into next years Alaska fishing regu- lations, the industry cannot oper- ate under proposed IT, to 20-day openings.
 They said the restrictions would force most of them to suspend 1854 operations, and might cause them to ship much of their pink salmon catch to Puget Sound for processing.
 FWS officials produced figures showing an increase of Alaska salmon fishermen from 5000 in 1945 to more than 12,000 today. In the same period, they said, catches have decreased and last season they were under the mil lion case mark for the first time since 1921.
 W. c. Arnold, managing direc- tor of Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc. said, "The operators face fin ancial ruin, fishermen are desti- ute and the President has de- clared Alaska a disaster area"
 Industry and federal officials were unable to agree however, on steps to save the salmon.

The President, under this bill,
can direct the Federal Housing
Administration to insure loans with
down payments as low as live per-

The law now requires a 20 per-

Other features of the bill are:
A boost by SIS billion in author

? A continuance for another year
of Federal aid for community SER

Tense areas.
An extension of the program for

terms to encourage construction of
more low rent and moderately
priced rental housing with large
units.

The Congress, in a separate bill,
also extended the Veterans Ad-

program for another year.
The building industry has a ire
mendous effect on the economy of
the entire nation, and by making
it easier for people to purchase

Contour Farming
With Terraces

this manner, then the rest of the ter
race structure may be smaller and
still be satisfactory, temporarily at
least If these low spots are not filled
and small size terraces are con-
structed then breaks in the low spots
and even more serious erosion are
almost certain to result.
The most serious defect in any ter
race built with any tool whatever is,
I believe, failure to build sufficient
size in the terrace where erosion has
occurred or is likely to occur. Any
type of equipment presently used
to build terraces does not make pro-
vision to deposit more dirt in these
danger spots.
Stopgap Procedure
While l do not recommend it as a
permanent practice I have success
fully halted serious erosion by build
ing up the eroded spots to extreme
heights and connected on slight
grade to so-called "high furrow"
made by one or two rounds of a
moldboard pillow and, of course, con-
tour farming. This connection struc-
ture grows each time the ground is
farmed, provided the dirt is moved
into the center from each direction
when the ground is farmed. This
method can be used as a stopgap I'M
til the larger terrace can be built to
make it permanent.
Where farmland is bordering on
pasture or range land it is well to
construct the first protective terrace
above the farmland to catch runoff
water from the grass before it can
cut through the farmland. If this
terrace is more than a few hundred
yards long it should be on at least
" per cent grade and provision
made at the outlet thereof to care
