THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1934 WATER RESERVOIRS |[Dr. Waldron Praised for VALWED FOR FARMS} Work With Ceres Wheat NDAC Engineer Describes Use and Economical Method of Construction The drouth of the pust few years thas stimulated an interest in build- ing small dams on the farm for) conservation, according to} water Prof. H. F. McColly, agricultural engineer at the North Dakota Agri- cultural College. In most cases these dams are constructed of earth ir convenient locations where they vill collect run-off water from rain and snow. Thus the location may be a channel which seldom carries water. Dry runs and small depressions be- tween hillsides are excellent loca- tions: A natural depression is much preferred over a location where em- vankments must be thrown up to hold the water. There ar? a number of precautions to be taken in the manner of con- structing earth dams, McColly points out. The soil composition must be of @ type that will resist seepage and the dissolving tendency of the water. A mixture of clay, sand and fine gravel makes the best type of soil mixture. In addition the soil must contain enough moisture when placed se that it will pack into a dense mass. ‘The embankments of the dam must te sloped. A rise of one foot verti- cally to two or three feet horizont- ally gives good results on the water side while the front slope, which does not have water against it, may have a rise of one foot vertically to two feet or less of horizontal direc- tion. The faces of the dam must be Protected against the action of the stored water and the weather. If the dam is large enough s0 the roots will where Board fences, mats or poles may be ‘used. The location of the spillway is DR. L. R. WALDRON Single Contribution to N. D. Agriculture Highly Valua- ble to Farmers Fargo, N. D., Nov. 1—Dr. L. R. Waldron’s contribution of Ceres wheat to North Dakota and the world has won for this eminent plant breeder the acclaim of farmers and scientists far and near. Statements have often been made that this single contribution to the agriculture of North Dakote, has brought more dol- | lars to the wheat growers of the state | than is represented by the entire in- vestment of all the educational insti- | tutions within the commonwealth. | The history of the discovery of .| Ceres wheat reads like a fairy book. | In the year of 1902 Henry Luke Bolley | made a trip to Russia in search of a better flax, and among his collections | | he included a hard red spring wheat. .|Some years later Waldron made the | discovery that the Russian spring wheat was resistant to rust. Crossing it with cinta which was the domi- | nant variety of the Northwest, he produced Ceres wheat at the second | Generation. Ceres has proven to be | drouth, smut and rust resistant, and) from jeven resistent to grasshoppers. It is waters. A durable lining of or concrete should be provided the spillway and it should be ex- tended far enough downstream to (prevent channelling back underneath the dam. ‘The construction of earth dams involves considerable labor. If the dam is not properly constructed and protected, the entire investment of labor and money may be swept away ‘with the first heavy rain. More complete information on small farm dams for reservoir use may be obtained from Farmers’ Bul- letin No. 1703, a copy of which may be obtained by writing the Extension Service, North Dakota Agricultural ..

Washington, Nov. 1—(#)—The gov- ernment’s deficit for the fiscal year which began last July 1, passed the Dillion dollar mark Thursday, the ex- tent of expenditures over receipts reaching $1,026,768,998. At the same time gold receipts of more than $2,000,000 brought the total gold assets to $8,001,062,974, the first time, they have passed the eight billion dollar 4 The deficit parallels approximately, the emergency expenditures, which stood at $1,105,872,438. General expenditures were $1,129,- ae og with vreabia ot $1,208,264,666. ‘The largest item of emergency ex- Penditures was for the relief admin- istration, which has accounted for 9456,561,063.87 so far.

As co-author with Bolley, Waldron published The Flowering Plants of North Dakota. From 1908 to 1916 he directed the Dickinson substation, and has been at the NDAC since 1916 except for leaves of absence to do advanced work at ‘Michigan and Cornell Universities. He received his Ph.D. from Cornell in 1928, Dr. Waldron has to his credit a long list of publications and scientific writing over the past 30 years. The credit, entitled Noxius Weeds and a to Kill Them, was published in In recognition of his achievements in plant breeding and other scientific studies, Dr. Waldron was recently elected to the Linnean Society of London, At present he is working on the development of another new variety of wheat, paying particular attention to bringing out a wheat resitant to frost and drouth.

Money superseded all else in |the eyes of many. So first and fore- most let us consider the money side jef this matter which ts soon to be de- jcided by the voters of North Dakota. Now what business man would feel jhe had put through a good paying deal if he invested $1,500,000,000 in or- der to maxe $236,000,000? How many voters of North Dakota would intrust him with money for investment? Yet that is exactly what we, as a nation, Mr.|did when we opened the doors to get revenue from the sale of intoxicating liquors and that is only a small part of the expense, as we are learning right along. If that amount was turned into ordinary business chan- nels wouldn't it help some? A writer in the Boston Herald re- cently wrote quite extensively on re- peal during the first six months. The Herald can never’be classed as a dry Paper, I might add. The first article starts out with ‘these headlines. “Bootleggers grow fat (pardon me, but isn’t that just what the drys said would happen?) under repeal. More stills seized than during the dry era of the nation.” Then he goes on to say: “Instead” of becoming. extinct under repeal, the bootlegger is flour- ishing under it. In June 1934, seven months after repeal, more stills were confiscated than in June 1933, seven months before repeal. In June nite 13 stills were confiscated having Capacity of 10,000 gallons aug aaa it is admitted that for every still seized there are a score of others. In New England. alone these 12 stills could distil 3,986,000 gallons a year. Besides this, the speakeasy is with us still. In prohibition days the boot- legger sneaked up to your door, fur- tively rang the door bell, shuffled in- to your hall uneasily shifting from foot to foot, Repeal has changed all this. “Now, in most instances, he mas- querades as a legitimate business man.

Air Defense Costing 200 Millions Urged | Washington, Nov. 1.—(#)—Insisting that once an air attack was launched nothing could prevent the destruction of its objective, Rep. Wilcox (Dem. Fila.) Thursday recommended to the President's aviation commission ex- Penditure of over $200,000,000 for con- struction of a network of air defense cases to protect the United States and insular possessions. Wilcox took issue with the report ot the Baker board on remodeling the army air corps which recommended one or two central bases. Under that system once an enemy broke through the first line defense, nothing could Prevent his “destroying the entire coast,” the Floridan contended. He advocated a department of air, or, failing ‘that, “at least’ a unified air service.” Good Underwood Students Present Operetta Underwood, N.
