Valdez Chamber Joins Fight for Permanent
 Certificates to AirlineS

VALDEZ, tR-Valdez Chamber of Commerce Wednesday joined in the fight to have permanent certificates issued to Pacific Northern and Alaska Airlines for stateside-Alaska operations.
 The chamber wired Chan Cur ney, chairman of the Civil Aero nautics Board in Washington, sug- gesting it would be more practical to merge Pan American and Northwest Airline operations to Alaska than stop service by the other two operators.
 The message said it was un- thinkable that the CAB would consider not granting certificates to Pacific Northern and Alaska Airlines.

Administration Planning 2 To Ask $3 Billion for Aid to Foreign Allies

WASHINGTON, R-The Eisen- hover Administration was said Thursday to be planning to ask Congress for at least three billion dollars to continue economic and military aid to friendly nations abroad.
 Such an amount would be slightly more than the $2,780,000,- 900 Congress provided this year for grants, loans and arms ship ments to more than 40 friendly governments.
 President Eisenhower probably will unveil the new program in his budget message on Jan. IT, when he discloses how much the government plans to spend in the fiscal year starting next July 1.

At the end of the 1853 mining season I wrote series of IA arti- cles for the Nome Nugget cover- ing all mining in the Cape Nome Mining and Recording Precinct excepting several small opera tions in the immediate vicinity of Nome and Nome River.
 Adjoining Nome's city limits on the east are two groups of claims owned by Ben Gillette and Gene Kell. and Swanberg and sons and Ben Gillette, respectively-old timers all. The claims run from the beach about a half mile back to the second beach line and a similar distance paralleling the beach. Nels Swanberg ST., his son Nels Jr., and his son-in-laW Axel Edman have some IS claims ad joining and running approximate ly two miles to Nome River on the east.
 Running along the south side of the second beach line and bound ing these claims on the north is a tWo-and- a-half- ditch. This ditch is feet wide and 512 feet deep, with pumping plant locat- ed where Otter Creek empties into Nome River.
 At the mouth of Peluk Creek, three-quarters of mile east of the city limits, rests steel pom toon screen stacker dredge of 234 cubic feet bucket capacity in excellent condition, and in charge of a caretaker. Walter Johnson and Rod Pohl of San Francisco had all the aforementioned ground under lease and installed this dredge a few years back. They operated two seasons and then shut the operation down due

considerably. Even though we may re-
turn to competitive wheat prices, much
of the Montana dryland wheat land that
would once have been called sub-mar-
ginal will likely remain in its present
use.
Those irrigated lands now in the
intensive agricultural uses, such as
sugar beet production, probably are
below the margin for such use if not
capable of beet yield of 10 tons per
acre.
The irrigated hay lands that will not
yield at least IL to tons of alfalfa
annually should as rule step down
in intensity of use to native meadow
hay production, or to pasture. Lands in
irrigated native meadow use that will
not yield at least three-fourths of a
ton of hay annually should drop down
the use scale to irrigated or partially
irrigated pasture, or to native range
land use.
Marginal Lands
At what point do native range lands
become marginal for livestock ranch
ing uses? Montana does not have much
in the semi-desert and desert range
land where the economics of livestock
production become marginal. There
are, of course, considerable areas of
range land in the western states where,
due to low density and poor quality Of
the range forage, lack of water and
other limitations, livestock production
is marginal or uneconomic.
Lands such as these are, as rule,
in public ownership Their use is for
wildlife, and sometimes for recreation.
Probably as a general rule where the
acreage requirement of desert lands
is more than 10 acres per animal unit
month of grazing use, such land is SUBJ
marginal for livestock grazing uSe I
do not know of any Montana range land
of such low productivity.
Farm Forestry Lands
Those Montana lands that are above
the use margin for farm forestry uses
must as rule have an annual growth
increment, for well-stocked stand, of
at least 125 board feet per acre. Some
of the better of the Montana west
slope forest lands will, with good man.
agement, produce considerably more
than this yield. AS already stated, Mon
tana forest growth rates are relatively
low. The better of the pine forest lands
of the southeastern parts of the United
States will produce an annual growth
of 500 board feet per acre.
Because of our changing economics
and our evolving science and technol-
Ogy, use land classes and use margins
aren't static. For that reason, | wish
to emphasize that the figures given
above on land use margins are given as
general guides only. Such figures anC
concepts are useful for analysis, study
and comparison, and for seeing the
reasons why this or that land use sit
uation may depart considerably from
the averages.

Managing Ranch or Farm
Changing Factors Influence
Economic Land Use Margins
By MONT SAUNDERSON

make decisions regarding the best and
most economic use of some of the land.
In this, the management must try to
find the answer to questions such as
these: Is this land naturally suited for
crop land? For irrigation, where the
water is available? For dryland grain?
For pasture? For native range grazing?
For natural meadow? For forestry?
Probably the Montana ranch and
farm operator and manager is faced
with decisions such as these more often
than is the management in most of the
other parts of the United States. Our
Montana land use experience is still
rather brief, and the changing tides
of weather, markets, prices, and our
ever evolving agricultural technology,
may yet bring many changes in our
present Montana land use patterns.
Suitability of Land
First in his decisions regarding the
major uses of his land, the farm and
ranch operator must think of the in
herent and natural suitability of land
resource for one use or another. Use
limitations in the soils, the moisture,
the topography, the frost-free growing
season, and other natural factors may
pretty much pre-determine the uses of
some lands. These limiting factors
may definitely cause some land to be
native range lands, forest lands, native
meadow lands, or unusable lands.
Some lands that are otherwise nat
urally suited for arabic crop production
may have such a high erosion in that
use as to preclude such use. The west
ern Montana valley lands with good
soil and water supplies will generally
be used as crop lands, but a short
growing season may limit the crop to
native meadow, or to pasture.
Alternative Uses
Though the use of a large acreage
of Montana farm and ranch lands is
pretty much predetermined by the
natural factors, many lands in the
ranches and farms of Montana do have
use alternatives. Where this is true,
the manager must sometimes make a
careful decision on what the economic
use margin is between, for example,
irrigated and non-irrigated cropland,
dryland crop land and grazing land use,
native meadow or tame meadow use,
crop land or pasture use, range and
pasture use or forestry use, etc.
A manager must make such decisions
on the use alternatives mainly on the
basis of economics-costs, returns, anC
net income for the ranch or farm enter
prise. He must make these decisions
on the basis of his information on the
current situation and outlook as Il
yields, prices, costs and the overall
organization of his ranch or farm enter
prise. Some of these things may change
rapidly, and manager must try t,
guess such changes in relation to ou
fast-evolving agricultural technology
Verify, the modern ranch and farm
manager must be person of skill an
foresight.
For one illustration of how our cor
ceptS of land use classes and use maj
gins may change, it is not many year
ago when the margin for Montana dry
land wheat land was thought to
around IA bushels per acre on summer

Farrell Members
To Picnic July 4

Farrell, Pa. - The men,
bers of CF'U Lodge 126, to-
gether with those of the affi-
late Junior Nest 100, are
planning to stage the second
Picnic of the year on Sun
day, July 4, at the George
Borkovich Farm, located in
Fruits Mill.
The outing will begin at
1000 AM and last far into
the night, or when the last
fun seeker has departed for
home. Those of you who wish
to be on the scene early, but
have no car, be at the Cro-
atian Home at 800 AM where
you can obtain transportation
with others. Or, you may wait
until II is AM at which time
a bus will leave the Croatian
Home, with seats for all with
out charge.
Our own home town musi-
clans, who possess the "know-
how" when it comes to enter
tanning our people, will be on
hand to provide our guests
with favorite dance tunes.
And, as is our usual popular
custom, we intend to have an
ample supply of that good
old fashioned hot barbecued
lamb and pork, together with
all sorts of tasty and cooling
beverages.

We have received demands
from Connecticut for the new
certificates and still await
the first such from Canada
on the two new plans which
have as yet not crossed the
border.
Let's 60, Canada - your
CFU Junior Order can now
write all four certificates in
the Dominion. There is no
reason why Canadian Junior
membership need be restrict
ed to only the Term and the
20 Year Endowment con-
tracts.
2O-Payment Life Type
The first Of the three per-
manent type certificates we
shall now describe is the 20
Payment Life. This il the
most reasonable form Of the
limited dues paying cover
ages.
AS such it requires prem
ium payments for a period Of
20 Years, whereupon it ma
lures and the member is then
issued a paid up certificate
and need not pay any further
death benefit dues. He con-
tinues receiving dividends,
however, for the rest of his
life.
We want to point out here
that since this certificate has
20 years to run it must Of
necessity mature in the SEN
ior Department. The member
of course transfers to .
Lodge at age 16 or 18 and
merely continues paying the
same dues for the remainder
of the 20 years.
The salient features of this
certificate are that it begins
paying dividends after two
full years of membership and
that it accumulates a cash,
