gta U.S, CONSERVATION PROGRAM BRINGING DREAMS TO REALITY Half Million Dollar Program Launched in Drouth-Strick- en States ‘The dreams of pioneer conserva- tionists in drouth stricken states are) being fulfilled. at least partially. ! A half million dollar federal bio- logical survey bureau program has; been launched. aimed particularly for the Dakotas, Montana, Nebraska and! Wyoming. The program has a triple purpose, | water conservation, wild life preser- | vation and work for destitute farm-! ers, according to M. O. Steen, regional | administrator in charge of the work. A new type of project was begun as; fan experiment in North Dakota more | than a year ago by the biological sur-_ vey bureau to meet the water conser- | vation needs of the prairie. | Areas upon which water could ve! Stored through dams or diversion of | escaping waters were secured from| private owners as work projects sites; under easements granting develop- ment rights to the secretary of agri- culture. Relief clients were assigned and construction work carried out.) This program now will be expanded | in North Dakota and other states in! this arca lacking adequate water sup- | ply and natural wild life protection, Steen said. Drouth Drives Home Need “Conservationists have long dream- ed of carrying through a program of this kind,” Steen said, “but the urg- ent need was not driven home until; the severe drouth years came. The greatest lesson of all nature has | taught northwestern prairie people is! that water resources must be con- served, for upon water Gepends the! very life of the prairies.” A total of $545,000 has been allotted | for wild life projects expected to pro- | | vide work for 4,300 relief Iaborers, of | which $353,548 will be spent in North Dakota, $74,934 in South Dakota, $44,830 in Montana, $42,830 in Ne- baska, and $7,500 in eastern Wyom-/ ing. In addition Wisconsin has been allocated $10,709 and Michigan, $10,- 708, for development work on existing refuges, Steen said. AS @ result of these easement proj- ects in North Dakota, 54 wild life ref- uges have been established com- prising 82,671 acres and 32.830 acres submerged, equivalent to 180 square ang of water one foot deep, Steen id.

J. Edgar Hoover, director of the bu- reau, said the government had yet to finish its investigations in the careers of Thomas Henry Robinson, Jr., and Alvin Karpis, convicted kidnapers, and also of Harry Campbell, member of Karpis’ gang, and Raymond Hamilton, an associate of Clyde Barrow. “Those cases are still open,” he said. The justice department is unwilling to consider those cases closed, Hoover continued, until all persons who know- ingly harbored any of the four have been brought to trial. Hoover made the announcement while discusajng with newspapermen the qualities of a new gun of trem- endous power which now is being tested by the justice department.

Editor, Tribune: Have noticed in a recent issue of your Tribune that R. H. “Dad” Walker is again mentioned as a candidate for governor. Why not? The people of North Da- kota have grown weary of the “tidd- ledy-winks” administrations. The “winks” being the third rate politic- jans, with no fixed purpose or prin- ciple and never having done anything for their country, who go hopping about from ism to ism and faction to faction to get a pay roll position with as much noise and bluster as a mon- * | grel cross between a bull frog and a grasshopper.

It already has affected milk, butter and leggs in some places, and eventually will reach meats, they said. Consumer purchasing power, which was on the upgrade after the 1934 drouth and has been reported in- creasing since, also plays an impor- tant part in food prices, they said.

The bu- reau reported the food cost rose from an index of about 73 at the start of the 1934 drouth to a peak of 82 in 1935, or a#bout 12 per cent. The last retail food index in July Was 84. Thus, increases in food costs because of the present drouth may go much higher than the peak which came after the arid period of 1934, it was said. Meat prices may dip slightly for a few months and then soar upwards next spring and summer, according to C. A. Burmeister, economist at the agricultural department who has been following meat trends for 18 years. White bread prices have remained about the same, in recent weeks, the consumer group said.
