tlon OF water when the second
and third foot of soil are ALREADY
well filled even though the first
foot may be dry.
Most farmers do a good lob of
watching the plant color and the
moisture in the top foot of soil.
To do a good job of irrigation is
also necessary to know what is
going on at the 2 to 4 foot depth
This is easily determined by a
soil auger. Medium loan soils will
store about two inches of moisture
IN foot layer of soil. Sandy soil
can store one inch and clay soils
about two and one-half inches of
water per foot of soil.
A rain of less than one inch
will only penetrate a thin Iayer
OF the top soil and being near
the surface will have a high loss
from evaporation. Down deeper in
the soil it will not evaporate but
remains there for plant use.
Farmers are urged to irrigate
and pasture early so thev

Sir John proposed that the

tions represented here are

Western and Soviet-"we must
also make it clear that we are
opposed to any form of colonial
exploitation by any power in
this region, now or in the fu-

IT am not SO naive as to sup
pose that the REIMBURSEMENT OF

difficulty. Foreign settlers and

This official insisted that the
keystone of peace in this part of
Asia rests on Nationalist United

Strait and the air over it. and
this control is now threatened.
Loss of such control would be far
more important than the loss of

who is chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, said he would
not be going to Formosa on any
routine mission.
Many diplomats considered
the development as a concession
to British insistence upon less
rigid United States policy with
respect to Formosa.
Part of Policy Yelled
The United States is COM
mitted to defend the island Of
Formosa and the nearby Pesca-
,dores from Communist attack,
but it has deliberately left un-
stated what it would do If Red
chinese forces attempt to take
Eluemoy and Matsu.
There is speculation in some
quarters that Britain, Australia
and New Zealand would agree to
join in defending Formosa if
Chang will agree not to fight
for Quemoy and Matsu. It is be-
lieved that some sort of cease
fire arrangement could be made
with Red China under these con-
ditions.
An imaginary line would be
drawn down the middle of the
Formosa Strait.
Can't Predict Reaction
No one could anticipate
Chiang's reaction to such a
proposition but it is be-
lieved that if any two officials
can persuade him to change his
position, Admiral Radford and
Mr.. Robertson are the men.
Secretary Dulles told a news
conference last week that he
has been seeking more free
world support" for the defense Of
Formosa. He made the state
ment in commenting upon a
speech by Adlai E. Stevenson.
