Winning 1856 growers used cul-
tural practices recommended by
the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, Fifer said. The best fields
good drainage, high fertility and
organic matter produced with
cover crops, and good crop rota'
tions all helped to produce the
high yields.
Improved Garden State was the
most frequently planted variety
with Rutgers used ~on many
farms. Closer-than-usual spacing
helped to produce the winning
tomato crops, Fifer said. Grow
ers usually planted rows five feet
apart with two to two and one
hall, feet between plants.
The average fertilizer applica
ton was 80 pounds of nitrogen
per acre, $50 pounds of phos
phoric acid, and 210 pounds Of
potash. Growers were advised tt
plow down or drill deep part Of
the fertilizer and side dress al
least twice. Extension specialists
recommended that growers apply
as much fertilizer as possible ir
bands at planting time, and that
they use a late side dressing Of
nitrogen and potash.
Insect control consisted of ar
average of four to five DD1
sprays and one to four Dbl
sprays. Parathion was, used fol
killing aphids, when necessary
An average of seven Manet
sprays were used to control dis.
eases, including anthracnose, Fif.
er said.

House Speaker Rayburn Predicts Budget Cut
 That Will Help Everyone

WASHINGTON R-Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn told a group of Democratic governors Saturday Congress is going to cut President Eisenhower's budget and give the people tax cut that will help everybody.
 ! Rayburn was quoted as saying that Congress hopes to cut from three to five billion dollars out of the spending budget of $71.8 bill lion without hurting the coun- try"
 The breakfast meeting was closed to neWSmen.
 Rayburn was quoted as saying he had served in Washington un- der seven Presidents and consid- cred the administration the "most inept and most partisan" he had ever seen.
 Minnesota's Gov. Orville L. Freeman reportedly brought a laugh from the gathering when he said he had heard rumor that if Eisenhower went on TV and radio to defend his budget the Republicans would ask for equal time. He was referring to Republicans in both houses who have criticized the size of the Eisenhower budget.

Polio Vaccination Makes Sense

Suppose someone took you aside and said: You have an enemy who may waylay you and cripple you for life. But l know how you stop this enemy. You'll have to act fast. It won't cost much money only $2O0-and it will take only 180 seconds of your time"
 If you knew the facts were true, you'd take him up on it, wouldn't you?
 Well, the facts true. The enemy is paralytic polio If you're under 40 years old you're possible victim. If polio strikes, you may face life shattered by disease and disability
 There is no for paralytic polio, but there is way to prevent it. The preventive is the Sak vaccine It is safe and it works Three properly spaced shots at 60 seconds shot-gives you protection.
 Over 45,000000 Americans have been smart enough to get this protection. But 60000000 in the susceptible age group have been foolhardy enough neglect it.
 Don't be one of the foolhardy ones. The polio season starts You still have time to safeguard yourself and your family you act at Go to your doctor or your clinic now
 Vaccinate-before it's too late

Portland Grand Jury Submits 69th
 Indictment, Says There's Much Yet
 To Do in Fighting Corruption

PORTLAND, Ore, R-A vice investigating grand jury ran it's score to 69 indictments Saturday and told Portland it still has long way to go before corruption can be wiped out here.
 The busiest of four grand juries to investigate vice in the past year, the jury submitted two final indictments and a lengthy report critical of Dist. Atty. William Langley, Mayor Terry Schrunk and local police.
 Langley has been convicted of failing to prosecute gamblers He faces six other indictments. May or Schrunk faces five.
 In a surprise move the grand jury also recommended that Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton be re- placed in the probe.
 "The appalling inability of our attorney general to perceive the emergent public need for forceful action has been increasingly evident to us :"
 Narcotics and prostitution should be high on the list of the next grand jury, the report said, add ing: "The interrelation of under world characters and the overlap of criminal activity indicate to us the existence of a substantial traffic in narcotics and it's coexis- tent evil, commercialized prosti- tutiOn."
 The report spoke of ''gross mis- uses" of law enforcement machin- cry "by the misalliance of Dist. Atty. Lingley and Mayor (and former Sheriff Schrunk."
 Schrunk and Langley assert they are being framed by Gam bier Big Jim Elkins because they would not protect his activities.
 It was Elkins' story, a year ago, accusing Langley, Schrunk and others of having a hand in Port land vice that started the i1vesti- gation. Elkins repeated his story before the Senate Packets Com mittee earlier this year.

ACS Announces Rate Increase
 Starting July l

telegraph rates will be boosted on July 1st.
 The last previous nate boost was a token increase in 1851, amounting to about five percent. Since then, rapidly rising oper- ating costs have necessitated an- other increase.
 A minimum charge of 70 cents for intra-Alaska messages will also go into effect on July !
 Historical Background
 During the Klondike gold rush of 1897-190O, with the resultant influx of people into Alaska, the US. government found it neces- sary to establish a military de- partment of Alaska, with garri- sons at various points to maintain law and order in the territory.
 In order to provide telegraphic communications between isolated garrisons and the department headquarters, Congress in the Act of 26 May 1900, authorized the War Department to construct the necessary telegraphic lines and cables.
 In the autumn of 1901, Signal Corps trouble shooter was pulled out of his ssign1nent in the trop- ics and sent to the WAMCATS Washington Alaska Military Ca ble and Telegraph System). This trouble shooter was It. William Mitchell. Some years later, as Brig. Gen Billy" Mitchell of the Army Air Corps, he stated: He who holds Alaska, holds the world"
 The period 19O2-1941 saw con- siderable expansion of the sys- tenn. Submarine cables connecting Alaska with the US. were laid.
 As the art of radio communica- tion developed, some cable and telegraph lines. were replaced by this new means. By 1880, the sys- tenn was authorized a number of high-power radio stations.
 With the advent of World War II, the Alaska Communication System suddenly expanded into a combination Army theater and m or tactical communication system.
 Today, the US. Army Alaska Communication System operates and maintains a communication system consisting of wire, cable and radio channels.
 With other circuits leased from Canada, communications are ex- tended thru that country to the US. and connected to points in Canada.
 In addition to the facilities of the ACS, the are other circuits in Alaska designed to serve a specific military or governmental function. The airways and air communications service of the Air Force and the Civil Aeronautics Admin. have systems by which air traffic within and approach ing Alaska is controlled. The Railroad and other gov ernmental agencies to lesser de- gree supplement and extend the communications provided by the system.
