Plant Is Sought
For Maryland

The Army has been asked by
Senator Beall and Representa-
tive Hyde. Republicans of Mary
land. to locate its new 81 million
food radiation research center in
Maryland.
The center, to be called the
Army Applied Ionizing Radiation
Center, will be used for expert
ments in preserving foods by
treating them with atomic radi-
alton. The Army Quartermaster
Corps will run the center. which
lis planned for completion in the
fall of 1858, although no site has
yet been chosen.
The plant will include a
Inuclear reactor costing SO mill
lion, funds for which have al-
ready been given to the Atomic
Energy Commission by Congress.
Representative Hyde has writ
ten the Acc proposing Brunswick,
Md, as a site for the new plant.
He pointed out that the site
would be relatively close to the
proposed new Potomac Electric
Power Co. plant at Dickerson,
Md. from which it could draw
power. and to the new ACC
headquarters to be built at
Germantown, Md.
Senator Beall, his Office said
today. has not named a specific
site. but would like to have the
new plant located somewhere in
Maryland.
Without naming a site, the
ACC has called for bids from
private industry to build the
reactor. The bids will be handled

Insecticides Safely

ALDR1N AND DIELDRIN are chic
rinated hydrocarbon insecticides whose
physiological actions are similar to
those of other insecticides of this
group, .such as DOT, chlordane, BIC,
lindane and toxaphene. They are soluble
in fats but insoIuble in water. They can
be absorbed by ingestion, inhalation or
through the intact skin. The greatest
occupational hazard is absorption Of
the materials through the skin.

Bulletin Explains
Water Right Laws

THE FOLLOWING summary is
taken from a bulletin, ga Rancher's
Primer on Water Right Laws for
Montana Water Users" published
by the Montana Reclamation Asso-
citation. The bulletin contains a
plain language explanation" of wa
ter right laws by w. w. LESLEY.
judge of the 18th judicial district,
and discussion of water measure
ments by H. L. Dusenberry Mon
tana Extension irrigation specialist.
Summary
l. A person with a water right
does not own it; he owns only the
right to the use of it. It is a prop
erty right and is protected by the
law.
2. This ownership of the use OF a
water right means a persons use
is for a beneficial purpose, use for
proper irrigation, and to the extent
of his legitimate need in each sea-
son, and in relation to the other
owners of water rights on the par
ticular stream.
3. Water rights are acquired in
Montana in two ways: Cd by rules
and customs of the early settlers:
completed. ditch for some useful
and beneficial purpose; % by rules
of posting and filing notice with the
doctrine of relation back
A. Water rights can be lost in two
ways: ID adverse use or o. aban-
donment. Both adverse possession
and abandonment are legal concepts
and there is no rule of measure
ment; each determined on the par
ticular facts.
5. A ditch right and a water right
are separate and distinct rights.
There is this relation, however, as
to the amount of water that may be
used; if the ditch is larger than the
water right, then the needs measure
the water, if the water right is
larger than the ditch then the ditch
measures the water.
6. DUTY of water" is the amount
reasonably necessary for the proper
irrigation of a tract of land. The
standard accepted by our Supreme
Court is one inch to the acre; there
is, however, no magic in this and i
may be more or less, depending OF
the local conditions.
7. The legal measure in our Law
books is cubic foot of water per sec
Ond; cubic foot equals 40 miner
inches.

below, no cases of intoxicatiOn by
aIdrin or dieIdrin have occurred
during manufacture, formulation
and application of many millions of
pounds of these insecticides over a
period of three to four years.
Experience has shown that there Is
considerable margin of safety in the
handling of these insectides during
formulation or blending, provided GER
tain precautionary measures are taken.
The following health and safety meas
ures are recommended:
Reduce Contamination
Complete elimination of all contain
ination in working areas is desirable.
However, excessive exposure can be
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-04-15

avoided by adequate ventiIation-controi
measures and good housekeeping prac- /
tees. Properly designed local exhaust
ventilation will take care of the major
source of contamination.
In the absence of adequate exhaust
ventilation and where workers are con-
tinually exposed to appreciate at
mospheric contamination, respirators
should be employed.
Avoid Contact
An important precaution against ex-
ceSsive skin contact is the use of suit
able colthing. Cotton coveralls and cap
are usually adequate. Street clothing
should not be worn underneath the
coveralls. To avoid prolonged contact
with contaminated clothing, clean
clothing and shoes should be worn.
For maximum safety, xylene-re-
sistant gloves should be worn when
handling the technical materials or
liquid concentrates. In hot, humid
areas, where little or no clothing is
worn, adequate protection is gener-
ally obtained by regular cleansing
of the exposed areas of the body.
