TAKES SOUND HEART
For Rugged Hunting,
Try Bear in Virginia
BY CHARLES COVELL
outdoor Editor

II you like your sport rugged then try bear
hunting.
Not grizzlies or kodiaks or polar bears, but Just
Virginia black bars.
There's plenty of excitement, suspense and some
danger The danger comes not so much from the
Arizona tribune., 1959-10-09

The talents of three Phoe-
nix businessmen have been
merged to produce one Of the
most beautiful hcr sing de-
velopments in the entire
state.
Clyde Webb, real estate
broker, is in charge of sales
at the Park South Homes
subdivision. Travis Williams
and DIV. williams provide
building services of the
williams and Jones Con-
struction Company.
The homes are built to in
dividual needs and plans.
Each home is colorfully dec
Grated with perSonalized
styling. Prices range from
the economy type to the more
luxurious $25, 900 home.
The fourth and fifth sub
divisions have been opened
and the area is filling rapidly
with lovely new homes.
Photos show the spacious
tracts, the good craftsmanship
and the three energetic and
progressive men who have
made owning a home on the
southside a pleasure.
The Williams brothers pio-
neered in home building in
South Phoenix several years
ago. They can be proud of
having foresight and will
to cling to a dream of pro-
viding better housing and
improving the standard of
living for the entire commun-
ity.
Park South subdivision is
located between E. Broadway
and Roeser Road near 20th st.

to Fred Seaton, Secretary Of

Though some of his fields look

farms plant wheat in strips
100 yards wide leaving strips
of equal width of natural
grasses between them. Taken
together, Soviet agriculturalists
seem TO feel that these meas
ures will not only prevent a
dust bowl but will even permit
reasonable harVests in years Of
light rainfall.
The Soviet Unon's food diff
cit has not generally been in
grain but in animal products.
Mr.. Matskevich, Soviet Minis
ter of Agriculture, explained to
me in Moscow that the purpose
of increasing wheat produce

ern Siberia is 10 free areas in
central Russia, the Ukraine and
the northern Caucasus for corn

Within a few years, Mr..
Khrushchev has declared, the

Mr.. Matskevich, corn planting
has increased sevenfold in the
past few years. This year

said that If he got three good

be a success. In its first five
years only one crop was a
serious failure, with three good

Home for EXileS
When I left the Soviet Union
in 1916, Kazakhstan still was
largely a barren steppe in
habited by 6 million former
nomads only recently settled
on collective farms. NOTORIOUS
for its deserts, its so m.p.h
winds, its 50-foot snow drifts
and its convict-worked Goa,
mines, 1t was in Stains day a
dreaded place of exile for polit-
ical undesirables.

have disappeared. The popula-
ton has increased by so pei

predicted he was creating an
other giant dust bowl.
Soviet scientists and agricul-
tural experts, however, have
made thorough study of the
problem. They have carefully
examined areas in Canada and
the United States with similar
climatic and soil conditions.
Special commissions of experts
have analysed the soil to de-
termine which lands to pillow
and which to leave in grass.
Furthermore, special cultivat-
ing methods are being used to
make the best use of available
moisture and to prevent wind
erosion.
The Regional Director of
Agriculture explained that
great Importance is attached
to snow preservation. Several
times each winter funnel
shaped plows developed in
America compress the snow
into ridges to hold the new
snow from being blown away
and to retard melting.
Conservation Measures

ing the subsoil without unduly

kevich has introduced i'm
proved double-hybrids which,
he told me, have increased
corn yields per acre by as
much as 80 per cent.
AS one Soviet official in
northern Kazakhstan told me,
the virgin lands have a double
claim TO their title. A few
miles across the steppe from
the Viktorov State Farm is
the town of Rudni, only four
years old, but with over 10000
inhabitants. II houses the
workers who are opening up
two of the Soviet Unions larg-
est open-pit iron mines with
proven reserves totaling a bill
lion and a half tons of high
grade iron ore.
First Pit Producing
The overburden, varying in
depth from 100 to 400 feet,
covers ore veins $50 to 900 feet
wide and two miles long and
from $500 to $500 feet deep.
The first pit is already pro-
ducing ore averaging AZ per
cent iron content which can
be concentrated to so per cent.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-01

When both pits are in fun
production they will produce
up to 26 million tons a year.
Within so miles two other
iron ore deposits have recently
been discovered and develop
ment Of them has already be-
gun. Within a decade, when all
four are in full production, ,
officials contend they will pro-
duce over 80 million tons Of
ore a year. .,.,
In addition to iron ore, Of
ficials in northern Kazakhstan
said that an asbestos mine has
recently been discovered COM
parable in size to the largest
Canadian deposits near Quebec.
Within a few years a plant to
process the asbestos is sched-
uled to go into operation. era..
AS at the ViktoroV State
Farm, labor has been a prob
lem at the Rudni mine. How
ever, substantial bonuses - in
some cases triple salaries for
the first months employment
and permanent housing and
facilities including movies, the
aters and clubs have induced
$4,000 workers to migrate to
Rudni from various parts of
the Soviet Union.
These new pioneers were the
most demonstrative in their
friendship toward Americans I
have yet seen. When emerged
from their club after dinner
with the mine director, hum
dreds of workers and their
families were assembled in the
town square and greeted me
with such enthusiasm that I
was obliged to say a few words
from the clubhouse steps. For
a moment I thought l was back
on the stump. .+ 70
Eager Workers
Not only the workers but
the officials in the New Lands
seemed eager to show me their
achievements. This town sof
Karaganda - meaning black
blood in the Kazakh language
was long notorious for its
prison camps whose convicts
worked its rich coal mines.
Though it has for decades
been a city forbidden to for
eigners, l was invited to visit
it and see its new steel mill, a
few miles out Of the city. Here
another town is rising out OF
the bleak Steppe. 1t already
houses $4,000 workers living in
permanent houses or individual
bungalows. ''5.
The first of its four blast
furnaces is scheduled to go
into production by the end of
the year. When in full opera
ton, the plant will turn out
80 million tons of rolled steel
a year, mostly thin sheet. Near,
by, the coal mines now worked
by regular miners are producing
$4,000 tons of coal a day-six'
times as much as in 1945 when
convict labor was still used,
thus confirming Mr.. Khrush-
chev'S recent observation on
the low productivity of convict
labor. ,,r
In its early days, RuSsia's
iron and coal industry was
centered in the district of Tula
near Moscow. Today a Kazakh
official told me proudly Tulas
budget is less than half that
of the Karaganda region bor-
dering on China. Mr.. Khrush-
cheV's advice to Soviet youth
to Go East" he added, is
becoming a reality.
