Lost Land Makes
Productive Acres

Roy c. Thomas, a young farmer
with vision, living near Marys-
vile, purchased a 165-acre farm
after World War II.
His crop and pasture land, in his
words was poor, rundown and
non-productive and was covered
with numerous deep gully scars. -
The only bright spot was a new
home for his wife and children.
Thomas, seeing problems con-
fronting him, sought the assist
ance of the u. S. Soil Conserva-
ton Service and his local Soil
Conservation District.
In few short years, with the
assistance of Halsey Eleyet, farm
planner for the Union Soil Con-
servation District, the farm has
been changed from one of lost
acres to one of productive fields.
The plan of operations, advised
by Eleyet, has been one of first
things first. Thomas first healed
the gullies. Next he changed his
fields to get better land use, in
stalling diversions to protect the
lower areas, and converting some
former cropland fields to meadow
land.
Through a scheduled cropping
plan and the fertilizing and linn
ing practices recommended by
Eleyet, the production of the farm

French Prize Was
Responsible For
Stabilized FIiqh+

Frecnhmen certainly weren't
wrong when they put up $4,000
francs as prize money for device
that would keep wind currents
from upsetting airplanes in flight.
Lack of aircraft stabiliZation was
still causing too many plane acci-
dents back in 1914, ten years after
the first flight of the Wright
Brothers. The French offer
brought 50-odd inventors to Bezons
on the banks of the Seine to put
their devices to the test, according
to a story in Steelways-magazine
of American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute.
One of Americas entries was an
automatic stabilizer designed by
Elmer A. Sperry. 1t consisted of
four steel gyros connected to the
controls of the plane flown by
Sperry's son, Lawrence. AS the
plane Swooped over the judges
stand the mechanic pulled himself
out onto the wing and waved to the
crowds, and Sperry raised his
hands over his head while the
plane, automatically controlled,
continued on a smooth flight pat
tern.
The prize and world fame went
to Sperry. During the first World
War the automatic stabilizer was
diverted to highly secret guided
missile development and was not
applied to passenger aircraft again
until the 1905. Sperrys early in
strument gave way to later devel-
opments, but modern stabilizing
and related automatic flight con-
trolls, made mostly of steel, stem
directly from it.

Old Bell Joins Falls Fire Siren

Onlookers to Columbia Falls vol
unteer firemen last Sunday raising
the old bell into the siren tower
were George Ridpath, retired grocer,
and w. A. Bose, retired fireman.
Ridpath is the Columbia Falls man
who knows best when there is a
fire. He is right next to the siren
and now the bell. However George
is resigned: latter all what can a
man do if there's siren and soon
a changing bell in addition next
door,"
Bose said that the old bell which
weighs nearly 1000 pounds used to
be rung by hand when Columbia
Falls had fire. Back in 1916 an
electric clapper was installed, and
up until about 1913, the telephone
operator would sound the bell when
there was a fire. Now she sounds the
siren.
Bose said: "then we got there as
fast as we could. We didn't have
much equipment, and we hoped al
least to get furniture out before the
house burned down." Things have
changed.
Firemen raising the bell included
E. j. Lundstrom, Darwin Lundstrom
Cecil Hudson, Bud Darling, Dulan,
Fulton, Chef Hill, Bert Hill, Ro,
Anders, Charles Ritter, AL Reid, Dol
Davall, Don Lunsford. An onlooke
