Kansas Gty Winning
In War on Rats
KANSAS CITY (U.R) Kansas
City's rat-control program, which
has attracted national attention,
now has "rat-stopped" 1280 busi
ness buildings, William J. Dixon,
commissioner, reports.
When the work was begun 16
months ago, merchants were los
ing more than $8,000,000 annual
ly because of rats.
Each building In a block is in
spected. Owners and occupants
are given reports of what they
should do. The owner then sees
that the work is done, either by
a contractor or his own mainten
ance crews,
"Rat-stopping" a block means
elimination of all rats in that
block and proofing the buildings
so the rodents cannot return.

Income Totaled
HOOD RIVER, Ore. 04")
Farmers operating on some 4,000,
000 acres of Irrigated land in Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho had a
cash Income of $480,000,000 last
year, the American Society of
Agricultural Engineers' Pacific
Northwest section was told Thurs
day. L, R. Swarner, Irrigation engi
neer for the Bureau of Reclama
tion, in a speech said that this
cash Income on the farms It ex
ceeded by the value of Indirect
benefits of Irrigation. Processing
and manufacturing plants, hard
ware and Implement firms and
other businesses serving the farm
areas all profit through -Irrigated
land production.

land produced more than a third
of the total cash farm Income of
$1,347,000,000 tn 1947 In the three
states.

Approximately 30,000 miles of
canals have been built to aerve
the lands and capital Investment
In northwest Irrigated farm land
is more than $210,000,000, he said.
The potential of Irrigated land
has only been half tapped, he
continued, with approximately 3,
700,000 acres of new northwest
farmland being possible. The acre
age can be economically served
with water, Swamer said.
Four major problems in con
nection with Irrigation require ad
ditional research, he told the agri
cultural engineers: water require
ment and consumptive use as re
lated to crops; irrigation applica
tion. Including soil, water and
plant relationship; drainage and
reclamation of wet and alkali
lands; and conveyance, delivery
and measurement of Irrigation

Turkish Women Start
Military Training
ISTANBUL (U.R) Turkish
women are taking military train
ing and learning how to shoot
guns for the first time in the
country's modern history.
The program began last year
with simple nurse training under
military supervision.
It is a war-time measure, but
Turkish officials are thinking in
terms of preparedness. They saw
how America and England made
good use of women in their
armies during the war and de
cided it was time for Turkish
women to learn how to defend
their country.
Using last year's nursing course
as a beginning, officials this year
designed courses which now In
clude anti-aircraft operation,
radar operation, communications,
transport and supply.
