Trade Board Group Tours JoI,
Told of Plans to Ease Crowdinq

/ in the jail which was designed
for 800 persons, according to
Donald Clemmer, director of the
Department Of Corrections. He
said oyercrowding now is not as
bad as 1t was during the earlier
months Of the current fiscal year.
when the average daily inmate
population was i.045.
Members of the public pro-
lection committee Of the Trade
Board toured the jail and
lunched in one Of the seven
dining halls.
Mr.. Clemmer said he has
asked for $52.300 to plan a new
unit at the Occoquan (Va.) work
house. where the $4,000 persons
locked up each year for drunk
eness could be housed. That
would leave the present jail ia
cilities to handle the remainder
Of the 27,0O0 persons locked up
each year.
II the planning appropriation
is approved, the next step would
be to seek a construction fund
OF $4,000 to build the new
unit in the fiscal year beginning
July l, 1856.
Mr.. Clemmer and Jail Supt.
Curtis T. Reid said it has been
necessary to double up in the
mems wards and cell blocks to |
house the overflow OF inmates. |
Both termed the doubling up
procedure undesirable.
Despite the overcrowding, Mr.. |
Clemmer said, the Federal Bu-
reau of Prisons inspection serv-
ice has termed the District Jail
one of the best operated jails
in the United States"
Committee members were visi-
bly, impressed with what they
saw. Comments on the clean
illness Of Jail cells and corridors
were echoed by most of the so
visitors.
The jail's 40-bed hospital also
came in for comment. DR.. VIII
liam Orsinger. senior medical
officer. told the group that Jail
inmates donate an average of
300 pints of blood each month
for use at District General Hos
pital.

Golf Courses
Do Have Their
Injury Hazards

BOSTON - More than 10000
golfers. caddies and club person.
mel will be injured this year On
Americas 5000 golf courses
According to a recent study of
qolfino accidents by the Institute
For Safer Living of the Ameri-
can Mutual Liability Insurance
Company. this popular paStime is
producing an average of two Sc
rious accidents per year per course.
| Rarely a day passes on any course
when there are not one or more
"nearsieS and "almoStS" any one
of which could easily result in a
bad injury.
The points often overlooked by
golfers. says the Institute. are that
| driven golf ball travels better
! than $50 miles per hour and that
a swung golf club speeds through
| its arc at a rate of 200 miles per
hour. They discount the dangers
/ of lightning, heat prOStration. and
! sunStroke. and ignore the hazards
| of motor vehicles as they cross
roads running through the course.
1IOSt frequent cause of trouble
/ is the golf ball itself, a hard she'll
| ed object that becomes a danger
Gus missile in flight. Damaged and
/ lost eyeSight. broken bones and
| conclusions. resulting from being
hit by a golf ball, appeared in the
survey. This hazard can be re-
moved in two ways: Wait until the
fourSome ahead is out of range be-
fore YOU drive. Make sure the cad
6y who is shagging balls has the
sun behind him so that he can see
| the driven ball as it comes at him.
Practice swings on the tee were
| shown to be the cause of many ac-
| cidents. and in nearly all cases
serious injury.
Getting struck by lightning
while on the golf course was not
a frequent occurrence. Yet. in
more than $50 instances it struck
down players and caddies, and in
at least half the cases caused
/ death. The Institute advises play
ers to set off the course during
a thunder storm. Don't stand un-
der a tree. Don't rely on shelters
! Pest precaution. next to getting
into your automobile, is to stand
among many trees.
At least 500 golf course acci-
dents resulted from players or
caddieS being hit by motor ve-
hicles driving through the club
grounds. Players and caddics make
the mistake of feeling sure that
the car driver is looking out for
them and will give them the right
of way. Courtesy, says the Insti-
tute, is the surest cure for golfing
accidents Watch out for the other
players. Make sure where they are
before you drive, before you swing
rolf club.

Farm Planning
Helps Former Get
Most From Lond

The farmer and his family can
set the most from their land. cap
ital, and capabilities only by plan
ming ahead. warns w. D. TouS-
saint, assistant professor of agri-
cultural economics at N. c. State
College.
TOuSsaint says that to draw up
this farm plan. the farmer and his
family must look at all the alter
natives. Hundreds of possibilities
are open but the choice should be
based upon the relative profit eX-
pected, resources available, and
family preferences.
There are several steps involved
in developing a farm plan.
First, the farmer needs an in
VentOry Of all available resources.
Next he must estimate the re-
sources needed for various alter
natives and the expected output
from each. and predictions of fu-
ture prices and costs.
Then he can estimate the net re-
tWn from the alternative enter
prises and methods of production.
This offers comparisons, so that
the family can make its choices to
cain the greatest satisfaction from
the available land, labor, capital
and management.
As an example. perhaps dairy
production appears to be profit
able But the farmer may not like
COWS Or he may not have family
labor or capital Hogs might bring
a smaller return, but may fit in
better with other enterprises on
the farm The advantage of draw
ING up a farm plan is that the
farmer may look at all possibili-
ties at one time.

ed now. After dividing, keep them
covered with slightly dampened
peat moss or SaWdust so that they
will not dry out until it is time
to plant. In the central portion
of the state a good planting date
is May to Is; in eastern areas a
few days later would be best and
in the mountains early May would
be about right.
Dahlias grow well in any type
of soil as long as it is well drain
ed. If the soil is not well drain

after periods of heavy rainfall. On
the other hand. it is necessary to

extended periods of hot, dry
weather.

Helena - What has been oh.
viOuS for years but only now !,
becoming apparent to many Mon
tanans is that the state railroad
and public service commission
has virtually no control over
railroad freight rates. The theory
of the act which created the
Montana board of railroad COM
miSSioners early in the century
was that the state regulatory
body would have jurisdiction over
rates where the origin and des-
tination of shipments were with
in the state.
Interstate shipments are in the
realm Of the interstate commerce
commission. But in practice If
has developed that in nearly all
instances interstate traffic can he
linked with interstate transpor-
tation. Thus, little by little the
ICC has shorn the state regllIa-
tory bodies of jurisdiction.
This situation has again como
