Get Water Supply
By Dynamiting
A blast felt in Bismarck was
caused by the dynamiting of a 500
cubit yard stock water reservoir on
the Sam Turnbow farm northeast
of Bismarck Saturday. The hole
was made by placing 25 pound
charges of dynamite 6 feet deep at
6 foot intervals for 120 feet. The
dugout will hold enough water to
give a fresh suppiy to all the stock
on this 640 acre pasture. The hole
is 8 feet deep, about 22 feet wide at
the top, 6 feet wide at the bottom
and 120 feet long. It soon filled
with a fresh supply of water. This
dugout is part of the soil conserva-
tion plan being worked out in co-
operation with the South Burleigh
County Soil Conservation district
art Mr. Turnbow's farm by Soil
Conservation Service technicians
assisting the district and Mr. Turn-
bow.
Ervin Bourgois has constructed a
dam for stock watering on his farm
and has finished two on the Robert
and Milan. Ward farm.
The equipment for dam construc-
tion is now on the Strutz-Schatz
farm where two dams will be con-
structed, and from there it will be
moved to other farms where dams
are to be constructed. These dams,
are being built in cooperation with
the South Burleigh County Soil
Conservation District. The charge
is 151/2 cents a cubic yard of dirt
moved. About 40 farmers have
signed up to use the service and
wil be taken care of this summer if
they carry out their plans. All
farmers who have dams to be built
make a deposit to cover the cost
with the District treasurer, Mar-
jorie Gourdette. at the County A-
gent's office. The dams built this
far have averaged around 1200 cu-
bic yards. Triple A payments will
generally cover the cost of the dam
if the dam meets AAA specifica-
tions, and the pastures are- not
overgrazed. Reservoirs constructed
by the use of dynamite can also
qualify if properly fenced for pro-
faction of the structure from live-
stock.

The Board. in a resolution auth-

the present one-purpose plans for
development of the ,Missouri River
and urged all construction be held
up until integrated plans can be
made. As need arises, other com-
mittee and advisory members will
be added.
The resolution follows:
"The present plan to jam through
Congress a plan for development
af the great Missouri Basin for
navigation only is an unparalleled
raid on the nation's basic wealth.
It would take Irom the people the
greatest remaining natural resource
of one-fifth of the area of the na-
tion, affecting not only this gener-
ation, but alI generations.
"It is particularly bold in the face
of the existence of the Tennessee
Valley Authority, which has. by in-
tegrated all-purpose development
of the Tennessee River. developed
each of that river's potentialities
beyond even the promise of the
various proponents of the single-
purpose development.
"We are opposed to further unin-
tegrated construction or planning

priations except for emergency

Farm Agency
Wins Battle
For Exisience
Washugton,--The FSA (Farm Se- '
curity Administration), guardian of
the small farmers of the country,
has finally come thruogh this ses-
sion of Congress with assurance of
life for another year, though the
life will be one on dangerously
scant rations.
Despite the three-year campaign
agabzst FSA~ by President Edward
A. O'Neal and his American Farm
Bureau Federation and other cor-
porate farm and land spokesmen.
the House yesterday agreed to a
conference report on aporpriatic.ns
for the agency which will keep the
major framework of its machinery
in operation.
Efforts of Congressional support-
ers of FSA led by Rep. Jed John-
son (D.. Okla.) to amend the re-
port from the floor with a $25.000.-
000 additional loan authorization
ear-marked for veterans of this war
were blocked by Rep. Malcolm C.
Tarver (D.. Ga.). member of the
House Appropriations Committee
and the Conference Committee. As
the Congressman in charge of the
measure he refused to recognize
Rap. Johnson and give him time to
present his proposal.
It was believed Rap, Johnson's
plan would have carried over-
whelmingly if he had been given
an opportunity to bring it up.
Appropriation Cuts
The Conference report cut the
loan authorization of FSA for re-
habilitation and production man-
agement work among small farmers
down to $67,000.000. This com-
pares with the $97.000.000 loan
authorization of last year which
was the figure the Senate voted for
the ensuing year. Administrative
funds were cut from $28.500 000 to
$26,000,000.
This cut will mean the closing of
several dozen county FSA offices.
The report as accepted by the
House wasa complete victory" for
the House conferees. Th'e Senate

sell CD.. Ga.). receded on every

BORERS CAUSING
GARDEN INJURY
Stalk borers have been reported
as causing considerable injury to
gardens in some sections of North
Dakota. This insect causes injury
in its larvalor worm stage by bor-
ing into corn. potatees, dahlias, hol-
lyhocks, and a number of other
plant~.
The adult ts a medium-sized
grayish brown moth. and the larvae
or borers range in size from less
than an inch to about 2 inches in
length, says Dr. J. A. Munro. ND-
AC Experiment Station entomolo-
gist. The worm is gray with brown
stripes almost the full length of tts
body.
Injury to corn is first shown by
raggedness of the leaves and later
by wilting of the plant due to the
burrowing of the worm within the
stalk. Injury to tomatoes, potatoes
and other plants seems to be con-
fined t~ the i~side of the stems.
Infested plants usually die.
