From the first state park in the vicinity of Walhalla in 1904, Reid said, the state park system has grown to include 47 state parks of various sizes. Considerable help in developing these parks in the last few years has been secured from federal agencies, | Aneluding the ERA, CCC and WPA. At/| one time nine CCC encampments were employed on North Dakota’ park pro- jects while at present three encamp- ments are working on park projects south of Mandan, in Roosevelt Park near Watford City and at the Inter- national Peace Garden north of Dun- seith, Of the 65,000 acres in the Roosevelt | Park project, the superintendent said, Only 2,000 acres is owned by the state. The remainder is under title or op- tion of the national park service. Reid gave brief descriptions of the many colored Badlands scenes which were thrown on the screen. The speaker was introduced by R. L. Schwichtenberg, program chairman. Guests at the luncheon included Rev. H. O.

Points of dispute were whether his deductions for losses on sales of stock in the Pittsburgh Coal company, Western Public Service company and other companies were allowable, and whether he should be allowed to make deductions for the gift of paintings to the A.

D., Dec. 7.—A simple device for combatting erosion from stream bank cutting has been installed in co-operation with the soil conser- vation service on the David Ford ferm, & mile an @ half northeast of Park River. The bank at @ bend in the Park river had been undermining at flood stage, resulting in much loss of soil. An inexpensive diversion structure was erected diagonally out from the bank about midway of the bend where 1% was cutting. It was so designed as to deflect the water on downstream pace it can swirl against the bank itself, Readily available sapling posts were #1, and woven wire fastened to them, fence fashion. The brush then was piled behind the wire, and the whole structure braced against the water's force wtih poles from the tops of the posts to the ground on the brush- filled side. The steeply cut bank also was treated with a view to its permanent stabilisation. It was backsloped, ot sisnted enough to permit vegetation to get a hold and in time give the e1oded spot a protective covering through natural revegetation.
