world communism, published
the text of the will which de-
scribed Stain as rude. rough
and capricious. In it
Lenin said Stain could not be
entrusted with a post as respon-

Publication Of the will was the
latest step in the official process

Lenin wrote the will in the form
of a letter to the 18th Congress

letter was dated December % and
"a, 1922. 1t carries a postscript
dated January 4. 1923.

attentive to his comrades"

ably. Publication of this portion

Lenin criticized Trotsky for

The additional elementary

School Supt. Hobart M. Cor
ming has asked the Board of
Education for a SCI million in
crease in the operating budget
for the District puhli6 schools
for the year beginning July,
1958-including ITO more ele-
mentary teachers.
Besides the new teachers the
school administration is propos-
ing an expansion of its pupil
testing, supervisory and coun-
selling stats and hiring more
assistant principals.
DR.. Corning sent the budget
totaling $34.7 million,
to board members yesterday.
They will be. considered at a
at IL am. Monday.
Still to be submitted is a
school-construction budget, ex-
pected to total around $40 mil
lion. This amount won't be set
officially till next month.
Surprised at Figure
Eighty-two of the new ele-
teachers are wanted
to keep abreast of climb
ing enrolment, DR.. Corning told
board members. The other %
would be used to reduce the city's
average slightly.
The small size of the teacher
request came as something of a
surprise.
A year ago. the school board
approved a plan to add 1863 ele-
mentary teachers annually for
three years in order to drop the
city pupil-teaeher ratio from 36
to 80. Congress this week ap-
only 100 teachers instead
Of he>dntended first installment
Of l63, and most Of these now
are slated to be used merely to
meet higher enrolment next fall.
1t has been expected that the
school administration would seek
to carry forward the 30-to-l pro-
gram substantially next year,
and perhaps catch up somewhat
after the meager first INSTALL
ment. But DR.. Corning disclosed
a revision in plans.

You've heard me mention Soil Con-
servation Districts many, many times.
Maybe you're thinking they are
common to agriculture throughout the
world. But have you heard of them in
England, Russia or India, for example?
No, they are only found in our country.
You might say, $50 what? The farm
ers in England have been farming for
many hundred years and still have their
farms in good shape" Sure, but how
is it done? In the first place, the farm
er is told by the government what con-
Servation practices he will follow. If
he doesn't, new farmer takes over.
Soil Conservation Districts work in
the opposite direction. Under state laws
farmers can band together into a
district, determine the problems and
develop their program for solving them.
They then go to the government for
assistance in solving the problems in
line with the program. The assistance
given by the government may be tech
nical or in some cases financial. In
any event, it is directed by this local
group of farmers.
Districts provide means of bring
ing the resources of many agencies
and groups together to do a job in
soil and water conservation. A striking
example of local, state and federal
cooperation is found at Hysham, where
the Treasure County SGD requested
and received the aid of the Soil Con-
servation Service in surveying the prof.
ect of the Hysham Water Users .Asso-
citation for irrigation. The water users
then applied to the State Water Con-
servation Board for financial assist
ance. They, in turn, arranged for the
purchase of power from the Bureau
of Reclamation and the Rural Electric
Administration.
Through the Soil Conservation Dis
tricts farmers can develop and apply
a conservation program that is their
own. That's democracy.
Conservingly yours.
