Irrigation
Wise Use OF Water Resources
Will Shape Montana's Future
BY III. L. DUSENBERRY

not gold that glitters." It could also
be said in certain places, water IS
gold even if it doesn't glitter. I have
lust returned from a short vacation in
Arizona's land of sunshine. The sun
didn't shine too much while we were
there but, nevertheless, that state is
fast becoming favorite winter va
cation resort. In fact, we found many
people there who like it the year
around.
The thing that impressed me most
was how much water means to that
state. AS evidence of this, about SO
per cent of all, crops are grown on
irrigated land. Most of the people IN
the state live in or adjacent to lrrl-
gated areas. Very little water gets out
of the state by run-off. The rivers
seem to be dry most of the time.
The heavy use of underground water
by pumping is lowering the water table
about 10 feet every year. Water is
now being pumped from wells with
lift of 200 to 400 feet. Cost per acre
foot of water pumped for irrigation. are
ranging from about Sc to SIS. About
20 per cent of all irrigation water
comes from wells.
Nearly all land is leveled. Row and
border dixie irrigation are the principal
methods of applying water. Over half
the farm bitches are concrete lined.
Syphon tubes are used to take the
water from the ditch to the rows.
Untapped Resources
All of these things seem a little
strange to Montanan who lives in
land of live streams, great storage
dams and underground lakes which are
unused. In our state a man who wants
irrigated land with plenty of water at
low cost can find it in many places.
He can also still find places where he
can develop his own water supply.
The time is rapidly coming when many
of the states will have reached the
maximum developments possible for
their water supply.
At that time and even before, in
dustry, agriculture and many related
businesses will be moving to Montana
where water is still available for new
users. The underground water will be
used More storage dams will be built
and canal and ditch lining will be in
stalled to save water. To some folks
it seems we have already invested too
much money in some of our irrigated
lands. These investments increase from
year to year as water begins to take
on golden tint.
Heritage to Cherish
Montanans should take note of this
great water heritage we have and make
plans to use it fully and wisely. In our
state. the ditch loss is so per cent or
more. The efficiency of irrigation on
farms will probably not average over
20 or 80 per cent for the state as a
whole. We have thousands of acres of
land begged down because of ineffi-
cient irrigation and 1eaky bitches.
So far, our underground water is
virtually unused. We do not even have
an underground water code to regulate
and protect the supply once use is
started. The majority of farms do not
have measuring devices installed to

ter has made it so.
Action Before the Rush
At this point, we might well consider
some of the things Montana should be
doing about this gold of the future be-
fore the rush gets up speed.
Already we have underway for sew
eral years a survey of water rights
and resources. This must be continued
and accelerated. A permanent office
should be set up to keep this informa-
ton available and up to date.
Interstate compacts should be COM
pleted as soon as possible to avoid
future difficulties in claims of water
on streams which cross state lines.
Education and promotion along the
lines of efficient water use should be
pushed as fast as possible
Federal reclamation laws should be
amended to make possible development
for the future, Multiple purpose prof.
ects provide a great opportunity to
regulate the future economy of the ma
ton They could be a means of regu-
lating employment according to need
Reclamation projects can help to bring
in new lands for production as they
are needed.
L0ng-Range Planning
We need laws which will permit long
range planning and construction with
out obligating water users in advance.
A sound project will pay out without
obligating users in advance An I'M
sound project will not pay out no mat
ter who or to what extent users are
bound. The water must produce the
revenue for repayment. If it doesn't,
contracts and obligations drawn in adj
vance are of no value. We need recla-
nation laws which encourage the COM
bination of dry land agriculture and
irrigation This would be particularly
beneficial to the livestock producers.
We need to relax the rigid 100 acre
maximum for reclamation projects and
make a flexible limitation dependent
upon local situations.
An underground code for the state
is badly needed at this time Wise plan
ming would seem to demand making
the law before the stampede breaks
loose After the pumps start working
may be too late to protect the resource.
Why wait till the horse is gone to lock
the stable door,
We need to find out and agree on
some things regarding these so called
public benefits from water develop
ment. There appears to be much con-
fusion in the public mind at present as
to who benefits by what. Recreation,
flood control, sanitation and naviga-
ton are few of the things which are
hard to- place a value on and hard to
pin down. They become involved with
emotions, selfish interests and politics.
A little effort and money spent on dig
ging out some facts in this area would
maybe clear the air bit. Study might
bring to light and help to separate
public interest from private interest.
Water is a resource that is not used
up. It comes and goes and comes again.
We can use it many times before it
gets to the sea. 1t is not how much

keep drama desks buried in
books. It goes without saying
that this is the most inviting OF
all forms Of burial and this Il
q good thing for. all too often
1t goes without being said.
However, for whatever of COM
fort it offers to Bennett Cert
types. there is q point In shame
which becomes unbearahle on
the drama critics part. In the
case Of this particular depart
ment, it is when the unmen-
toned, much less reviewed. books
reach a height of IA 1915 inches.
At this height or depth Of
books. q man has no choice but
10 uncurl into action.
There is our unpaid debt to
Dodd, Mead. for instance. Weeks
ago, it sent q copy Of Louis
Kronenberger's Best Plays Of
1896" q volume with which

lit arrived. No one. we think, does
this sort Of thing with Mr.. Kro-
Inenberger's indisputable taste.
lNor with more judicial agility.
Especially in q season when three
best plays. much less 10. would
be difiicult to select.
1t is the more interesting that
Mr.. Kronenberger has become
Dodd, Mead's play compiler in
view of an attitude he manifested
learlier in his experience as q
lcritic. II we remember correctly,
lit was Mr.. Kronenberger who
some years ago established the
precedent Of refusing to vote in
a Critics Circle meeting on the
ground thai no play was worthy
Iof q best vote that season.
Is it ironic retrihution that he
now must choose 10 bests?
In his scholarly. chiseled prose.
summing up the season In q long
preface TO the plays, Mr.. Kron-
enbenger Is belatedly q great
comfort to the one critic (this
one) who remained firmly in
disposed toward "The Bad Seed. /"
OF this Maxwell Anderson
work, which he includes among
his 10, Mr.. Kronenberger writes:
|"As a hterate shocker. Bad Seed
Is successful: while even as q
problem play, with the mother
IconfronGing the pathology of her
Ichiid. no Ibsen could have raised
ia graver issue. But, sticking to
the legitimate dilemma. though
Bad Seed goes through all the
PAGES Of problem drama, we
somehow grasp that it Is written
with no real concern for its
theme"
What did we tell you? Only
no cne paid any attention.

book in the pile, Is from Prentice
Hall. It Is q large. lovely looking
thing by Harlowe r. Hoyt. drama
editor Of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, and a man full Of warm
ing memories of grass roots
theater when every town had its
opera house or hall.
This one we have merely
thumbed through, noting the IL
lustrations and the type. both Of
which are pretty impressive.
Nevertheless. Town Hall To-
night" has had its oblique impact
upon the life Of this new owner.
This grows out Of the fact
that the New York Times re-
view on Sunday was written by
a man named Gerald B. Carson,
It was q name that meant
nothing. except that Gerald B.
Carson seemed 10 be q man quite
happy in his work. Then, as Isl

power, tests of new types of atom ic and thermonuclear weapons have been carried out in the Sovi- ct Union recently.
 "The tests have fully confirmed the pertinent scientific and techni- cal calculation showing the new and important achievements of the Soviet scientists and engi- neers. The latest explosion of the hydrogen bomb was the most powerful of all explosions carried out until now.
 With the aim of preventing ra- dioactive influences, the explosion was conducted at a great height. At the same time, extensive re- search was conducted on problems of protection of the people.
 Tn conducting the above men toned tests in the interests of in surfing it's security the Soviet Union will continue to strive, as before, to reach agreement. in the United Nations on the prohibition of atomic and hydrogen weapons and on the reduction of all other types of armaments, on the fur ther reduction of international tension, on the establishment of good faith between states, on the maintenance and strengthening of general peace"
 The announcement of the tests came minutes after the Soviet government had issued stern note to Iran for her participation in the Baghdad pact.
 Today's disclosure was the first Soviet announcement of atomic tests since 1853

 In Shotgun Killing Of Millionaire

MINEOLA, N. Y, RACounsel for Mrs. Ann Woodward, who on Friday night heard a grand jury vote mo indictment in the shot gun killing of her millionaire sportsman husband, says that the blonde widow "nows feels she can be left alone with her children"
 Pale and trembling, the black clad 39-year-old woman emerged from the Nassau County court house apparently broken in spirit by her re-enactment of events leading to the shooting of William Woodward, 35, in their Oyster Bay home last Oct. 30.
 The one-time showgirl who married into top-draWer society," she is listed in advance copies of the 1856 social register, society's Blue Book-had to be virtually carried to car.
 A pretty women who moved gayly in select circles, Mrs. Wood ward looked aged far beyond her years. A handkerchief to pale lips, she could only humble incoher- ently to waiting newsmen.
 Mrs. Woodward was one of 31 witnesses heard Friday by the jury, which sat for about 10 hours, then deliberated 46 minutes. Mrs. Woodward was found mot guilty. Of three charges being considered first degree murder, murder in the second degree, and man. slaughter.

Soviet's Biggest \ Nuclear Explosion
 Surpassed by us Bikini Blast

MOSCOW, R-The Soviet gov ernment announced Saturday it had exploded a hydrogen bomb and that 1t was the most powerful yet achieved by Soviet engineers.
 The announcement, made at a news conference in the foreign ministry, followed statement in speech Saturday at Bangalore, India, by Soviet Party Bcss Nikita KhruShchev that the Soviet Union had exploded nuclear weapon of maximum strength" He said it equalled one million tons of INT.
 Che Soviet announcements con- firmed a us. announcement of last Wednesday that the Russians had set off their greatest explosion yet. The US. announcement made no direct comparison with the US. test of a nuclear device set off at Bikini atoll in March l, 1854. But Khrushchev's statement that it amounted to one million tons of INT would place it in relatively small category compared to the Bikini blast, which was reckoned at 15 to IT million tons of TNT0
 The announcement said tests of new types of atomic and thermo- nuclear weapons had been made recently but did not say where.
 This is the text of the announce ment:

Braves Discovered
Aaron When Thompson
Got Hurt

BROOKLYN Now that
this is a new baseball season.
the high-flying Milwaukee
Braves will tell you that one
good thing came out of the
ankle injury to expensive
Bobby Thompson last year -
the discovery of flaShy out
fielder Hank Aaron.
AS manager Charlie Grimm
explains it; when Thompson
got hurt last year, it was a
good and bad break. We were
forced to use Aaron in his
place" This led to the quick
discovery of the potential of
Aaron.
Thus, this year the Braves
have one of the best outfieldS
in baseball. With Thompson
and Aaron thanking nifty Bill
Bruton, the Braves have two
tan players in the outfield and
such an old pro as Andy Paf-
ko on the bench.

DISPROVE PARENT CHARGES
AGAINST GIANTS WILLIE MAYS

Blood tests by two interna-
tionally-famous doctors saw
ed Willie Mays, spectacular
Giants outfielder,. from a pa
ternity suit in the public
courts this spring, Confden-
tial magazine revealed today
In an article willie Mays"
LuckieSt Strikeout", the new
issue of Confidential on sale
this week states that the
blood tests proved that pa
ternity charges brought
against Willie by a Southern
woman were without founda-
ton.
The girl had insisted that
Mays was the father of her
baby boy, born Oct. 6. 1854,
but Willie denied the charge
and, with the help of an at
torney obtaine4 by the Gil
ants management, insisted on
blood tests.
"By mutual agreement" the
article states, two of the ma
tion's outstanding experts
were selected to make the
tests. One was DR.. Philip Lee
vine, head of the Ortho Re
search Foundation in Raritan
N. j., a scientist prominently
mentioned for the Nobel
prize.
"The other was equally
famed DR.. Alexander S. Wei
ner of Brooklyn. Doctors Lee

which science has accepted
as the final word on deter
