: OUR SOIL # OUR STRENGTH =
 By Cliff Marcus

Even though the pasture sea son is short in Alaska, excel lent cash returns can be real lzed from a well managed per ennlal grass or grass-legume seeded pasture.
 Two keys to unlocking a profitable pasture are proper seeding and proper manage ment.
 Proper seeding should be l done on a firm, moist, weed free seedbed, not more than one inch deep, one-half inch or less is better. Work up area to be planted and plant as soon as possible to prevent loss of valuable moisture.
 Proper management should be carried out to make the pas ture produce to it's fullest ex- tent. Grazing on pastures should be done until the grass plants are firmly rooted. Keep grass height between 3 inches and 8 inches and leave at least 1 inches of top growth at end of pasture season. Keep stock off when ground is very wet to prevent trampling and expos ing plant roots.
 Pastures should be gone over once or twice a year to break up and spread droppings. This will give better and even util- ibation of pastures.
 Pastures should be rotated to give better utilization of feed. If pastures get ahead of grazing they can be cut for hay or silage crops.
 Weeds are hazard on pas lures as they compete with the grasses for moisture and fertil- izer. Moving to clip the weeds should be done before the plant goes to seed.
 All pastures should be fer tilized according to Alaska Ex- pertinent Station and Extension Service recommendations.

The following letter was sub mitted to area redevelopment committee.
 It is probably little prema- ture to consider conversion of natural gas to synthetic am- monia and fertilizers, since commercial quantities have not been discovered in District T.
 However the prospects are quite good. If they should ma terialize a gas conversion plant could increase employment as well as lower the price consid- erably on fertilizer for the farm areas of the Palmer-Wasilla- Talkeetna Area.
 Nitrogen solutions rank first among the sources of nitrogen for mixed fertilizers in the Un- ited States, and anhydrous am- monia is one of the principal nitrogen materials used direct ly as fertilizer.
 Aqua ammonia, anhydrous ammonia Ga liquefied gas), and the nitrogen solutions are ap- piled directly to the soil or in irrigation water, and are used in the manufacture of mixed fertilizers.
 In 1859, the United States industry included 56 plants with total annual productive capacity for both agricultural and industrial use of 4,l20,OOC short tons of nitrogen. This was based almost exclusively or natural gas and petroleum re- finery gases as the hydrogen sources.

In reference to the current borough discussions, may I quote the following excerpts from Abraham Lincoln's h. augural Address?
 My countrymen, one and all, think calmly upon this whole subject. Nothing valu- able can be lost by taking time. If there be an object to hurry any of you in hot hast to a step which you would never take deliberately. that object will be frustrated by taking time; but no good object can be frustrat- ed by it. Such of you as are now dissatisfied still have the old Constitution unimpaired, and on the sensitive point, the laws of your own framing un- der it; while the new admins tration will have no immediate power, if it would, to change either. If it were admitted that you who are dissatisfied hold the right side in this dispute. there is still no single good req son for precipitate action"
 As an average citizen, I find it very difficut to assimulate or understand all the literature on boroughs. To me it is too technical, indefinitive, and generalized; therefore, how can vote intelligently one way or the other?
 l would like to know first of all just what the basic cost of a borough, operationally and administratively, would be. Then I would like to know just how many taxpayers (not peo- ple) there would be in the bor- ough. Finally I would like to divide the two figures and ar rive at some idea of the indi- vidual cost. Only then would one be able to decide it's feasi- bility.
 do not question the bene- fits to be accrued from the formation of borough. To me it's just common sense to want the bad points as well before determining the overall pie ture. Everything seems too pat and the bait too alluring.
 Frankly, just what is the hurry?

some Of the changes made by
the censors were unnecessary.
Admiral Burke previously called
some Of the changes made in
his speeches "capricious."
Gen. White said he never OBJ
jected to changes which he
considered as not being too inn
portSnt. But when something
was involved which he thought
was important the general said
he made an issue of it and
always won.
On one occasion, he said,
changes were made in one of
his speeches which had been
approved at an earlier time.
He testified that some changes
were made in a magazine in
terview which he resisted.

have been muzzled?" he asked.
II do not" the general re-
piled.
In response to another ques-
ton, he said he saw no diff
ference in the string of reviews
in this and previous admins
trations. But in the area of
interservice rivalry, Gen.
White volunteered, this "has
been looked into more strictly"
under Secretary McNamara
than ever before.
At one point, Gen. White was
asked whether he thought 1t
proper for low-ranking per-
sonnel to censor generals and
admirals. Some witnesses have
complained it isn't.
Gen. White said with a grin
he might be letting out a secret
of the "inner cricle," then went
on to say:
II rarely personally wrote a
speech.
II have heard there were low
level personnel who reviewed
the speeches, but the truth is
they were relatively low level
persons who wrote the speeches
in the first place."
Records assembled by the
subcommittee showed that IS
suggested or mandatory
changes were made in six of
Gen. Whites speeches and
statements from September,

ings. The process by which a
blue pencil is applied to the
purple prose flowing out of the

"co-ordinating."
What the hearings have
done is to create a certain
sympathy for the censors or
"co-ordinators" of the Defense
and State Departments who
must in line of duty read the
undisciplined expressions of

also have generated the suspi-

Surely, no significant ad-

that our fighting men as writ

death by faceless bureaucrats

No, it Is clear that the
