piled close to one-half acre foot of
water. Next time l am sure it will only
take about half that amount.
Less Overhead
Another advantage of a privately
owned pumping system is the fact that
I do not have a large investment in a
storage dam, reservoir, main canals
and lateralS and l do not have to pay
operating and maintenance costs on
such structures.
Also I am not bothered by the need
for rotation and taking turns with my
neighbors when the peak of the irriga-
tion season is at hand and the system
proves inadequate to supply all the
farmers on the ditch with all the water
they need on call. It's an Independent
way to irrigate a farm and I am for
tunate in being situated where I have
this advantage.
The shortage of rain during the past
year is showing up in a good many
respects. Hay stands did not come
through the winter in good condition
and many fields will yield a lighter
tonnage because of thin stands due to
winter-killing. The hot, dry weather in
the forepart of June has forced alfalfa
to an early bloom and this too will re-
suit in fewer tons per acre.
Assure Second Crop
The good irrigation that we have Just
completed giving our fields, however,
will insure an early start of the. second
crop and most likely before the season
is over, we will have as much hay from
each acre as normal because of the
fact that we can irrigate it.
My corn crop presented a real prob
lem this spring. When I finished seed
ing the ground was dry and, like most
farmers, I figured that this being the
month of June, we would surely get g
few showers which would provide
enough moisture to germinate the seec
and get it started. I was wrong, how
ever. After waiting a week for rair
I beamed the flow from one of my
pumps on that dry corn field and in al
almost unbelievable short time the
corn was up so we could see the row!
and give it its first cultivation Con
Sequently, thanks to irrigation water
my prospects for good corn crop ar
bright and it looks as though most o
the acres on my little farm will yielt
in abundance this year. Water is trul,
a blessing on any farm in Montana.

Going steady" is one Of

ually it is the teen-ager, or her
mother. who is concerned.
Sometimes it's an older per-
son, and the words mean
something different. Miss Y.
raises the question today.
You have advised high school
girls not to go steady until
they have had great deal of
experience in social life and
come to know many boys" she
reminds me, land it's easy to
see the reasonableness of that
point of view. But how about
a business girl, % years old
to be specific? She ought to
go steady. I suppose? Even
if she has no immediate pros
poets of marriage?"
From one point of view, the
girl would not be likely ever
to have prospects of marriage
unless she went steady with
some man long enough to get
well acquainted. But actually,
Miss Y, "going steady" doesn't
means many things. Think, of
the different situations that
are described by the same
term:
/. 1t may be mere exploita-
ton. A girl may be holding
on to some man merely as a
means of getting taken to
shows and restaurant meals;

He's loaded and ! think you
should investigate him."
I've got money!" the ele-
plant retorted. That's a
Communist smear if I ever
heard one. There's something
smelly about this whole
thing!"
The two then raced toward
the TV station.
The next scene showed Sta
ton WLCD before the ele-
plant and donkey arrived.
Our phones were ringing mad
ly, as the public called in to
find out what had happened to
favorite shows that have been
replaced by political shows.
No Sex Appeal
Two studio executives finally
ordered the phones shut of.
The two then fell to discussing
their troubles with the politi-
clans. They finally agreed
that the trouble with politics
was that sit has no sex appeal"
why don't these boys let us
dream up some programs for
them?" asked one. Like hav-
Ing Nancy make the political
pitch instead of Estes?"
Nancy Kefauver' then came
on stage. in a provocative low
cut gown, welding a paint
brush. She went into her sales
pitch:
Estes doesn't paint-but he
sure draws-crowds, that is.
And the reason is that he
wears such wonderfully clean
white shirts. Does your wash
ing machine run of IVA
power? Mine does, and it
keeps Estes shirts so clean.
And his coffee in the
vacuum iar-Estes always
knows if it's been brewed with
IVA power. There's a diff
ference, you know. If you
don't believe me, you all just
ask Mr.. Dixon and Mr.. Yates"
And why not Pat Nixon in
place of Dick?" one studio
executive asked.
Pat Nixon" came out wear
ing a long, lush fur coat,
which she stroked. She said:
"Dickie has sure gone a fur
piece. can remember when
he made his stories up out
of whole cloth-good Republic
can whole cloth. Now they
are fur-lined. Won't you try
some Nixon chewing gum
tossing gum to the audience).

clean as a hounds. That's

BRITISH DOCTOR
RAPS HOT BATHS
AS 'ANTI-SOCIAL'

LONDON, (P). DR.. S. C.
Dyke has denounced the hot
bath as an anti-social habit
and said it should be dis
couraged.
In a letter to the British
Medical Journal. he said:
1T is an obvious Tallacy to
think that frequent INNER
sion in hot water has any
hygienic value whatsoever.
Bathing in hot water is a
pleasant relaxant, but its
appeal is purely sensuous."
Referring to Britain's
present water shortage, DR..
Dyke said:

bath must be one of the rea-

The charming new production
of The Battered Bride" is a
triumph for everyone concerned,
but especially for DR.. Frederick
Fall. the producer and musical
director. who has for several
years been trying to establish
a civic opera company drawing
on the fund of talent to be
found here in the Washington
area.
= If his "Bartered Bride" is a
fair sample of what he means
to give us. he deserves the un-
qualified support of the entire
community. 1t seems a pity that
the work is scheduled for only
one more performance. as this
production is the sort of thing
that thousands Of people would
like to see, and would be per-
fectly suited to a long run at
Carter Barron Amphitheater
during the summer.
There is no point in being
solemn about this opera. which
is 80 years old now and Begin
ming to seem a little corny. 1t
takes a light touch and lot of
wit to bring it to life. but it was
so intelligently planned. so care
fully rehearsed, so quickly timed
and so full of elegant little de-
tails of stage business last night
that it seemed to sparkle most
of the time.
Most of the singing was quite
good. but top honors went to Jan
Rubes for his droll characteri-
cation of Kezal. the marriage
broker. The bride, Martha Benson.
was at her best in her beautiful
third-act aria. There was dis
tinguished singing by Frank
Hirschel in his bargaining scene,
and Gene Yenni, Frances Rau
and Armand Thierry in their big
trio.
The few instances of bad bal
ance between the singers and Mr..
Prussing's excellent orchestra will
no doubt be corrected before the
next performance. Last night
they didn't interfere with the
fun.
Much of the credit for the
success OF the performance must
go to the three choreographers:
Milica Hasalova, Bob Davis and
Evelyn Davis. That Mr.. Davis is
virtuoso dancer was abun-
dainty clear early in the pro-
ceedings. and his performance
eliminated in a magnificent solo
that really must be seen to be
believed.
Even people who don't like
Smetana should hear tomorrow
nights performance. There is no
admission charge, but it is pos
sible to make contributions to-
ward the next production.
