~i Despite the removar of meat from

|tl,215,501,000 potmds on May 1, the
! highest~ for that date since 1920.
Ii Of the meat holdings, 731,392,000
l~0unds were in pork; 282,291,000
Pounds in beef and 16671,090 in
|lamb and mutton. Poultry stocks
I ~taled 129,988,000 pounds. On hand

At 12,802,000 cases, holdings of
• ggs on May 1 were the highest for
Ahat date. Other large stocks in-
;~luded 130,855,000 pounds of fruit
tnd 105,417,000 pounds of vegetables.
~leat Rationing
Despite the record meat holdings,
0PA Administrator Chester Bowles
told the house banking committee
that rationing may be resumed in
"80, 60 or 90 days, or maybe it will
be January and February."
Resumption of rationing depends
iUpon the flow of hogs and cattle to
flrmrket once warehouses have been

Proposed Design of Garrison Dam
Structure Designed by Army Would Be

GARRISON DAM

COIPS OF [NS~[ERS, O | ARmY
Pictured above l~ the design for
the great dam in the Mt~souri river
near Oarrison, a~ proposed by Army
Engineers.
The structure as now proposed
would be 2.13 miles lon: 3~00 feet
wide at the base and 210 feet high,
from the present bed of the river to
its top.
It would be located in what is
known as the Big Bend of the M2s-
sourl, 7 miles southwest of Garrison
7% miles west o£ Coleharbor and 15
miles north of Stanton.
The dam would be an earth-fill
structure with an impervious blan-
ket on the up-streazn side. The face
of the dam also would be of im-
pervious material to prevent water
seeping through it.
The proposed power plant would
be located on the west side of the
dam, as would be the approach
channel for the power house and the
sluice ways.
The spillway also'would be on the
west side of the river and would be
lined with concrete, as is the spill-
way at Uae Fort Peek dam in Mon-
tana.
LIGNITE STORES WELL
IN VCEATHERTIGHT BINS
The more or less accepted view
that lignite coal does not store well
from one season to another is er-
roneot~, according to experiences
of several who have stockpiles left
over from last season.
Commissioner A. F. Arnason of
the Board of Higher Education re-
ports that state educational institu-
tions are carrying over from last
summer a stockpile of over %000
tons in outside bins and that the
damage suffered to the coal is
negligible.
Householders who bought suffi-
cient lignite last summer to last
them through the season and had
it stored in basement bins or
other weather tight bins, report
gratifying results ~nd that the loss
after several months' storage was
of no consequence.
North Dakota mine operators
state they will be able to supply
sufficient coal for next season's
needs of our citizens if orders are
received at once so that the mines
may be kept in" continuous opera-
tion during the summer. Otherwise
they look for considerable suffering
next winter, particularly in the
eastern half of the state, where
shipments of eastern coal will be
cut down to 75 percent of the
normal.
Besides, they point out, trans-
portation difficulties will make it
impossible to take care of normal
demands next fall or early winter,
even if sufficient manpower should
be available to operate the mJnes
at capacity, which, they say, will
be impossible. Oonsumers are urged
to pl~e their orders at once so
that delivery can ,be made inside
of the next 90 days to insure de-
livery before railway cars are mov-
ed to" southwest harvest points.
M1 Plans i0 Be
Given t0 Public
This is the first of a series of
~ps or sketches issued by the
Neath Dakota Wa~er Conserva-
flo~ commission to acquaint the
people of North Dakota with de-
tails of the water development
pro~'a~s proposed for this state.
The first four will deal with
various phases of the propued
Garrison dam as designed by
U. S. Army End/ricers.
Others will outline the d~LaJls
of the Bureau of Reclamation
plan for irrigation and water de-
velopment and will be issued
soon as they can be prepared.
" The state water commission Ires
not yet endorsed either the
army's plan or that advanced by
the Bureau of Reclamation.
i H constructed, a service railroad
[would be constructed from SLanton
to the dam site to f~cflltate the ds-
livery of materials.
As indicated on the drawing, the
crest of the dam would be 40 feet
wide and would proviite room for
a highway. This road would be car-
ried across the spillway on a bridge, i
Eight power conduits would carry
water from above the dam to the
hydro-electric generators in the
Power house. Five sluloeways would
carry water through the dam to the
tallraoe below and would permit ab-
solute control of the flow in the river
below the dam.
The details of the powerhouse and
siulceways have been exaggerated in
size to make them clearly visible.
The designs on the banks of the
approach channel, spillway approach
:channel and tailrace indicate con-
crete work on other revetment.
In the cross-sectlon of the dam
at the lower right hand corner of
the sketch, the coarse gravel at the
foot of the dam would be used as a
collecting pool for the evacuation
of such water as mlght seep throUgh
the dam or underneath the footln~s.
When filled to a normal eteva~i0n
of 1850, ths water above the d~l
would be 185 feet deep.

BIG ROUNDUP HORSE SALE
Medora, Thursday, June 1st
in a program begun early this year
by the NDAC Extension Service,
This work is now underway in
four counties, says E. J. Haslerud
i state Extension director, and will
be started in the rest of the state
as fast as progress of other Exten-
sion programs will permit. In
charge of the undertaking is S. M.
Thorfmnson, Sargent county Ex-
tension agent who has been grant-
ed leave of absence from his coun-
ty for this purpose.
The program is primarily for the
service man and seeks, in each
township, to find (1) farms avail-
able to service men, (2) number of
men who plan to return to agricul-
ture or other rural occupations
and (3) to obtain recommendations
of local groups as to type and
extent of financing that will be
needed t:o place returning service
men on farms.
Director Haslerud expects
plan to be effective also in ac-
quainting rural people with the
national problem of returning to
a peacetime basis, and that it will
be helpful in developing local ac-
tion in the community in the in-
terests of the service men.

se~ves on xarms m oemg assemmea The War Food Administration
has organized a Custom Combine
Program designed to give maximum
aid to farmers in the harvesting of
their 1944 crop. Under this pro-
gram, the custom operators will
be directed to those areas in which
the need for their machinery is
most critical and will also receive
assistance in routing and placing
their machines. The program pro-
vides for the obtaining of gas,
tires, repairs parts and labor need-
ed by custom operators.
With this assistance, most cus-
tom operators will be able to out
more acres and keep their machines
operating for a longer period than
in the past. In order that a great-
er number of farmers may benefit
from the new combines that are
available this year, many of them
have been placed with custom oper-
ators who will follow the harvest
from one county to another and
from one state to another. Many
of the machines will start work In
Texas and Oklahoma and finish in
North Dakota ~nd Montana which
means an operating period of more
than 100 days.

Do not overcrOWd sheep. Over-
heating will often cause a "break"
in the wool or a weak spot in the
fiber. "Breaks" may also be pro-
duced by neglect in proper feeding
or a brief illness.

Light Words are
'Grave' Words
There's a poster on the wall
of Sam Abernathy's store that
doesn't say much. It just shows
a cross, with a Yankee helmet
on it--and the caption: "Light
words are 'grave' words."
It isn't hard to figure out what
that sign means. Loose talk has
dug a lot of graves.., and done
a lot of harm here at home, too.
And still you hear it.
You hear, for instance, talk
about our soldiers drinking and
carousing around Army Camps.
Of course, when you get the
facts there's not an atom of
truth in it. A U. S. Government
survey found our soldiers were
the soberest, the best behaved
in history-with most of them
drinking nothing stronger than
a moderate glass of beer.
From where T sit, that k~nd of
"loose talk" can do Just as much
to Undermine morale as any
rumor that the Axis cOuld ill.
vent. And it's up to every one of
us to spike that kind of sabotage
before it spreads.
