ranching continued to develop ALONG
the river valleys in the Nineties
The great dryIand settlement move
ment in Montana began about 1906. in
creasing rapidly and continuing into
World War I years, when high prices
pushed settlement out onto much land
where otherwise it would not have
gone. 1t was soon discovered that some
of the land brought under cultivation
was shallow and low in inherent fer
tility and, when the drought of 1918-1e1q
occurred, it was abandoned.
During this period of beginning in
Montana. agricultural research was
very active Throughout the world t.
was discovered that many of the cult
waited soils in Montana were o,,ito
fertile and required no chemical fer
tilizerS if properly managed. This was
the common experience in all new land
areas.
Need for Fertilizers
However, it was soon determined that
a crop-fall0w system of farming must
be practiced on dryland in order to
increase stored soil moisture and there
by assure satisfactory crop yields.
Now, after so or so years of cuItiva-
ton, we find ourselves very much in
tereSted IN crop rotation, chemical fer

During the past 80 years, and par

been made in soil fertility research.
IL mas been proved that, through re-
search, surpluses of food can be pro-
duced in spite of a rapidly increasing
population. Some will question the
need for research because of this situa-
lon. However, progress in agriculture
depends on continued research and at

COP Proposition Keelhauls Demo. Big g Spending
By HAROLD OLIVER

WASHINGTON, LR - A Repub- lican study committee yesterday presented a sweeping plan en- visioning a gross national product of 900 billion dollars a year by 1867.
 It recommended a manufactur- CTS sales tax and reduction of in dividual and corporate income taxes.
 The tax cuts would come only after start is made toward re- ducing the huge national debt, and would be modest at first. They would be applied "as rapidly over the next few years as the prospective surplus will permit" :"
 For the long run, the committee proposed substantially reduced taxes and more equitable distri- button of the tax burden.
 The 10,00O-word report on "eco- homie opportunity and progress was the fifth and final document approved by a 40-member com mittee headed by Charles H. Per cy, Chicago businessman. The group was named to outline long range COP goals.
 Other reports dealt with science, national security and peace, and human rights and needs.
 The economic report said sen sible management of the public debt, combined with tax reform, an effective monetary policy and strict control over federal expen- ditures Twill do much to help maintain a steady rate of economic progress"
 More partisan than any of the previous reports, the document at tackled the Democratic Party for what it called .'loose money" and big spending ideas.

GO. Northwest Young Man, With Gun, Muscle, Pioneer, Spirit and SlO,OOO!

} SAN FRANCISCO, LR - All a young man needs to homestead in Alaska is muscles, sinew, an axe, a gun, pioneer spirit and about $10,000.
 That's the word brought here by the Episcopal Bishop of Alas ka, the Rt Rev. William T. Cor don, Jr.
 "It's a wonderful country and I would be the last to discourage anyone from going there," the boyish-looking, 41-year-old bishop told interviewers in San Fran cisco Monday. But too many of these big caravans of modern-day pioneers coming to Alaska for a new life, have ended in abject failure. There's real opportunity but only for those with trade or with some capital"
 The bishop said the much pub licized Michigan '59er caravan is recorded in Alaska as a prime example of inadequate planning He added that the original objec- tive of the caravan failed, some re- turned, and some found joos else where but "those who stayed have been undergoing hardships that none ever contemplated"
 ''The vision of a 160-acre home stead on virgin soil is quite lure to those in American cities" the bishop said. And it is true that many farmers have struck it rich in Alaska.
 But the homesteader must not only plant his crops and build his house, he also must build a road to his property. And it's generally three years before he makes a nickel off the land. He must have a part time job or the capital to get going"
 As to a part time job, Bishop Gordon said, there isn't much op- portunity in Alaska for unskilled labor, prticularly in the winter when the new homesteader needs work.

STOP KILLING

Reducing CholesteroI
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Katz. MD, Of Chicago, writ
ing to the Journal Of the
American Medical Associa-
ton: Pending further
knowledge, it would seem
wise to stress the avoidance
of obesity, and the ingestion
of a INTENTIONALLY adequate
diet, and the provisional
inclusion Of so or more
grams of unSaturated fat in
the diet Of all individuals
over 35 years of age"
Many recent studies have
shown that cutting down on
fats will often reduce cho-
lesterol levels. But 1t has
also been discovered that adj
ding unsaturated fats to the
effective fall in such levels.
In previous columns ! have
mentioned that many investi-
gators found that corn oil
was an excellent unsaturated
fat to use. Many readers
have wanted to know where
and in what form they can
get corn oil.
According to a recent re-
port by p. A. Boyer, jr.. MD,
and associates, presented at
the San Francisco meeting of
the American Medical Associ-
alton, a product called EN-
DEE Margarine" Contain

cases. 1t can be used as o

DEAR DIR. STETNCROHN:

DEAR DIR. STEINCROHN:
My husband is A. ! am wor-
ried about him. His doc
tor has just discovered that
he has a high cholesterol. He
has put him on a low fat
diet and warned him that he
must lose weight. He has
given him no medicine. Isn't
there anything else that can
be done to lower the choles-
terol? Mrs. S. S.
MANY READERS write to
me who have similar prob
lens. They are all confused
about the meaning Of satu-
rated and unsaturated fats;
about the significance Of
high cholesterol; about the
value Of medicines; and
whether or not there is really
any use at all in taking such
non-saturated fats as corn
oil.
Well, first we had better
all understand that there is
much We do and don't know
about the cholesterol prob
lem. At the present until
there is definite treatment
for prevention and cure) it is
better to play it by ear"
For example, we can re-
duce Mr.. Smiths high cho-
leSterol by having him take
of 20 to 80 pounds of excess
weight. We try the same pro-
cedure on Mr.. Jones and 1t
doesn't work. We tell one
man to cut down on his fat
intake and that does the
trick. But another, who finds
this valueless, responds to a
drug like niacin.
Cholesterol is a wax-like
Subst lance that is found
abundantly in such foods as
butter, fatty meats. eggs,
whole milk, cream and
cheese. You might say:
Then the treatment is sim
pie. Cut out these saturated
fats and you will lower your
choleSterol." But it isn't sim
pie because the liver plays a
great part in the formation
of cholesterol.
And when the body fails
to utilize its choleSterol, 1t
may be deposited in the
artery walls, producing the
typical plaques of atheroscle-
rosis. These are the fatty
deposits that gradually fill
up the lumen of the blood
vessels and predispoSe one to
coronary attacks and strokes.
All sorts of medicines have
been recommended, includ-
ing female hormones. At this
date, such treatments are
still in the experimental
stage.
