CONSERVATION
 NOTES
NM
By Cliff Marcus

The purpose of your local soil conservation subdistrict is to help farmers either individually or in groups to conserve their valuable soil and water resources and plan the best use of the land.
 A conservation farm plan is the basis for good farming. One does not build house without v blueprint and therefore one should also have a farm plan to aid him in determining which land should be used for each crop. Soil Conservation calls for treating each acre of land accord ing to its capabilities. This means leaving Windbreaks for wind err osion protection; comforting, strip cropping and stubble-mul- ching the land as needed; along with use of supporting measures of crop rotations, cover and green manure crops, etc, whenever re- quired. It means building farm ponds; planting steep, credible land to grass; developing good pastures; and devoting good management to them after they have been applied.
 Your local soil conservation subdistrict, organized and run by farmers, has asked the Soil Con- servation Service for assistance and has been receiving both tech nical and engineering assistance. This technical and engineering assistance is available to farmers and homesteaders by contracting their local subdistrict supervisors or the Soil Conservation Service office.
 The Soil Conservation Service
The frontiersman., 1955-09-22

will prepare a soils map for your farm and show you the capabil- ity of each piece of land. This will help you to determine which land is best for clearing. The Soil Conservation Service will give you on the site technical assist ance regarding establishment of conservation practices necessary to keep your productive and to prevent erosion. There is no charge for the assistance to farm CTS and hOmesteaderS.

NATO Hopes For
End HOstilities
In FOrmosa Area

PARIS, REThe North Allan
tic Alliance expressed formal
hope today for an end to hostil-
tiles and no further resort to force
in the Formosa area.
A communique ending and sum-
ming up the current session of
the NATO council Of foreign min
listers declared.
1.-THE council expressed the hope
that there would be cessation
of hostilities in the Far East and
no further resort to force, since
this would clearly endanger the
peace of the world"
While Formosa was not men
toned specifically, the only war
ring armies in the Far East pres
emily are the Chinese Reds and
Chinese Nationalist who face
each other in the Formosa area.
Canadian Foreign Secretary
Lester Pearson limited to news
conference later that most NATO
members felt the best solution for
the Chinese dispute is the sur
render Of Quemoy and Matsu, off
shore islands held by the Nation
alists, in return for a collective
security pledge to Chang Kai-
Shek's Formosa regime.
'sWe have responsibilities tc
Formosa as a member of the
United Nations" said Pearson. a He
declined to say whether Britain
shared this view.
The NATO council formally en-
dorsed the Western Big Three
proposals for a top level meet
ing with Soviet Premier Nikolat
Bulganin.

SOviets Declare
They Want End
To The Cold War
By COLIN FROST

editors note - The writer, a
member of the Associated Press
staff in London, is one Of small
group Of western correspondents
visaed to Poland for the meeting
of officials from the Soviet Union
and its European satellites. Po-
land does not permit Western
correspondents to enter the coun-
try on a continuing basis.
WARSAW, Poland, Up - The
Soviet Union declared today it
wants an end to the cold war, and
will give careful study to the
Western proposal for talks among
the chiefs of government of the
four powers.
A Soviet spokesman said So
Wet Premier Nikolai Bulganin
made these points in address to
the eight-nation Eastern Security
Conference that opened today.
Russia and its associates are meet
ing to put their armed forces
under joint command.
The spokesman told a news con-
ference that Bulganin emphasized
in his address that Western Ger
manys emergence as a NATO
power has created a new situation
in Europe.
Nonetheless, he said the Soviet
Union is ready to support any
acceptable proposal that might
lead to German identification.
To that end, Bulganin suggested
the occupying powers - United
States, Britain, France and Rus
sia-should withdraw the greater
part of the troops from Germany,
leaving only skeleton forces there
until Germany could become a
united and independent nation.
He said:
"The Soviet Union is ready to
do everything for the unification
Of Germany on acceptable condi-
tons. The Soviet government is
firmly convinced that with good
will it should be possible to settle
this question. But now there is
no goodwill"

Alaska-Hawaii Statehood Hopes
Blasted AS House Votes 2lS-l7O
To Turn Down Combined Bill
BY FRANK w. vAILLE

7 WASHINGTON, tR - Alaska
and Hawaii their statehood
dream blasted, ironically, by 48
votes grasped the bottom rung
Of the ladder again today.
In the wake Of the 218-17O vote
tally by which the House yester-
day sent the joint Alaska Hawaii
bill back to committee, support
erS were uncertain Of their future
course.
Chairman Engle D-CaliD Of
the House Insular Affairs Com
mittee said the margin Of defeat
made problematical consideration
Of separate legislation for either
or both territories.
I'm not going to fight a wind
MILL" he said
Both Engle and Rep. Saylor
R-Pa, another leading statehood
hacker, attributed defeat to oppo-
sition by the leadership in both
parties
Saylor said he would recon-
mend the committee come back
with separate bills for each terri
tory, but he conceded there might
be difficulty determining priority.
On this score, Delegate Bartlett
said Hawaii should be considered
first to put the administration to
the test
Bartlett was referring to PreSi-
dent Eisenhower's repeated re-
Communications that statehood be
conferred on Hawaii. Eisenhower
has made no such recommended
ton for Alaska.
Delegate Harrington R-HawaiD
said she was encouraged" by the
outcome, adding that Hawaii's
best chance for statehood rests in
the eventual passage of a separ-
ate bill.
Particularly discouraging to
statehood supporters was the fact
that yesterday was the first time
the House ever rejected Alaska or
Hawaii statehood legislation.
In rejecting the joint bill, House
party lines splintered. Democrats
split almost even with Jos Of them
voting to return the bill to COM
.mittee and LOT opposed to the
move The Republicans divided
1853 in favor of recommitting
the bill.

Eisenhower Agrees
To Top Level Big
Four Conference

WASHING ION, III PRESIDENT
Eisenhower said today he agreed
to a top level Big Four conference
in the hope Of clarifying the in
ternational atmosphere and to
test Russia's sincerity.
The President emphasized at a
news conference there still is
nothing definite as to whether
there will be a meeting at the
summit - that is of Eisenhower,
Prime Minister Eden of Britain,
Premier Faure of France, and
Marshal Bulganin of Russia.
A reporter noted that in the
past Eisenhower had indicated he
would prefer a meeting of the
foreign ministers in advance of
any conference of the chiefs of
state.
Asked why he had changed his
mind on that and agreed to an sat
the summit" conference first, the
President replied there now ap-
pear to be some cogent reasons
for a top level meeting.
A bit later, the President said
such a conference also would be
a means of finding out whether
Russia is sincere about wanting
to relieve world tensions.
Eisenhower repeated what he
has said before-that he is willing
to go anywhere, anytime, if any
good would come from the jour
ney so far as world peace is con-
cerned.
The President also dealt with
these other topics:
Salk Vaccine Eisenhower said
he believes that within reason
able time the vaccine will elm
mate polio in the United States.
He said US. Surgeon General
Leonard Scheele - and no other
official - made the decision to
bring the incubation program to
at least a temporary standstill.
1t was a decision that only doc
tors and the experts in the field
were qualified to make, Eisen-
hover added.
Politics-The President said he
thanks Sen. Margaret Chase
Smith R-Maine) for her state
ment that she hopes with all her
heart he will seek re election
next year. But he added with a
smile and shrug Of the shoulders
that he had no idea where Mrs.
Smith got what she called an i'm
preston that the President will
not run again.
