WEDNESDAY, APRIL6J949 PAGE TEN THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON Post Grangers Dislike Report Made by Straus Prlnevillo, April 6 Members of the Post grange, all of whom are land owners of the mid-Crooked river area, along the main stem of that stream around 25 miles south of here, definitely expressed their disapproval at a meeting Saturday night of a recently announced re port of Michael Straus, commis sioner of the U. S. bureau of rec lamation, to Senator Guy Cordon, from whom residents of Crook county received the Straus, report last week. The Post ranchers did tiot like the implications of the Straus re port, which indicates that the so called Crooked river project, the accomplishment of which has for a decade and a nail Dcen tne ma jor objective of leading citizens of Crook county, who see, in such de velopment through application of adequate irrigation the stabiliza tion of agricultural enterprise in this Central Oregon county, does not consider applying any of the stored . run-off of this watershed on lands of ranchers of the area represented. Proposal Made . Instead, it is proposed to store something more than 70,000 acre feet in a major reservoir at the so "called Post' reservoir some ;55 -miles upstream from Prinevllle, -utilizing slightly more than a half lot the supply In a diversion to "the North unit of the Deschutes project in Jefferson county, or "other Deschutes basin projects. '.The remainder of the water, how--ever, would be used in supplying supplemental water for a fuller "development of the old Ochoco Ir--rigation d 1 s t r 1 ct immediately around Prinevllle.

However, when the proposals call for a diversion of Crooked river water to other districts, the Post farmers, as they indicated Satur day night, think the plan of a na ture "that will rob them of a one of their most precious resources," the loss of their water. Resolution Adopted And as grangers, the men at the Saturday evening meeting adopted a resolution, directed to Commissioner Straus, asking that the bureau of reclamation bring forth immediately the full text of its plans for Crooked river devel opment as Indicated in the report made to Senator Cordon, in order that its full import may be com prehended from an intensive study. The resolution asks that the bureau engage in an intensive study of the water resources of the Crooked river watershed, aim ed at arriving how they may be most beneficially used on Crook couny lands and also how a sys tem or reclamation may provide flood control. It is requested that such a report be compleet with estimated costs to land owners of the area in their use Of such appli cation of the water. It is declared, however, that the ranchers of the community, will oppose any move for any diversion of Crooked river wafers, other than that in surplus quantity over and above the amount needed for adequate irrigation of lands of the area, to any other point in the Deschutes watershed. It was resolved that copies of the resolution should go to Conv missloner Straus, Senators Cor don . and Morse, Representative Stockman, other state and federal officials and the Portland cham ber of commerce. Petition Slimed As land owners, the men at the Post, meeting, signed a petition to Commissioner -Straus, asking for a complete report on the Crooked river project. And in this they in dicated tnetr opposition to any di version of the Crooked river wa ter away from Crook county lands until the land owners who can' make beneficial use of It are given an opportunity to voice their will to make such use. The meeting Saturday night was presided over by E. L. Woods, Crook county agent, member of a reclamation committee, named by W. M. Romine, president of the Prineville-Crook county chamber of commerce, Who was present at the meeting. Others at the Post meeting Included Judge A. R. Bowman, chairman of the cham bers reclamation committee; La Selle Coles, a member; and Joe D. Thomison, the chamber manager, Atomic Group to Finance Projects Washington, April 6 Ul'i The U.S. atomic energy commission has agreed, to finance 21 new re search projects In biology and medicine, In addition to the work done in its own laboratories.

The bureau of reclamation to day was contemplating building the tunnel to carry water irom the Payette to the Boise rivers In southwestern Idaho. According to Regional director R. J. Newell, the tunnel would be 30 miles long, and 19 feet in diameter, and lined with ltt-incn concrete walls. Its cost, on the basis of pres ent day construction price levels, would be about $100,000,000. Newell said the tunnel. If con structed, would be longer than such lamous bores as the Dela ware tunnel which supplies water to the city of New York, ."The tunnel is declared feasible and cheaper to maintain and op erate than an aqueduct," Newell said. "It would carry 2,700 cubic feet of water a second and would generate about 75,000 kilowatts of energy annually with power installations. At some points, Newell said, the tunnel would be 2,400 feet un der the surface of the ground. It would be drilled through several mountain ranges. Ho added that it would take be tween 1,000 and 1,500 men to build the tunnel, which would be constructed in sections. ; Club Discusses Potato Problems Powell Butte, April 6 Meth ods of treatment for seed and al lied problems of potato planting came up for major discussion at the April meeting of Powell Butte Farmers' club at the grade school cafeteria here Monday night, when Archie Peeler, Pow ell Butte blacksmith and mechan ic, demonstrated a new type of seed cutter he has invented and which he is now manufacturing for use in the area. Potato growers In their brief reference to the wage scale for the season, expressed the belief that they will be called on to pay the same rate as in 1948, $1 per hour. While Roy Snabel remark ed that growers did not know how much they are going to re ceive for their potatoes, he said they did know how much it is costing the potato workers to live. Living costs, he declared, have shown no appreciable de cline in the past year. When to plant and how to treat seed was a moot question. One grower even declared that he al ways plants by the moon. There were about as many different opinions on planting and treat ment as there were potato farm ers at the session. J. C. Minson, long a successful and substantial potato planter, declared it his be lief that use of corrosive subli mate is a standard and safe meth od for keeping to a minimum many diseases, that attack local potato fields. Minson said he of- i ten. held his cut potatoes, so I treated, as long as 21 days in a cellar, where temperature of around 60 degrees is maintained. He warned that sacks should be placed on planks aVid so spaced as to allow a circulation of air. No sacks should be piled on others. The potato sacks are kept wet. Roy Snable, on the other hand, reported that he has secured best results irom planting cut seed immediately.. , ; Science at Work e w ommg .

So believes Dr. Henry C. Sher man, professor of chemistry at Columbia University. Ho also be lieves that some, persons may be penalizing themselves In terms of health, efficiency and longevity is no longer a matter of opinion but is an established fact. The new knowledge of the chemistry of nutrition, he says, is "far-reaching in its potential benefits lor. human well-being. Three Nutrients the Key "Nutrition now offers definite promise," he said, "that the qual ity and duration of the life pro cessand so of the life history can be improved." Laboratory experiments over a period of years have shown that three nutrients are the keys to better health and longer life. They are vitamin A, calcium and vitamin C. "Increase In the quantitjes of these three substances above lev els commonly accepted as ade quate have resulted in significant gains among laboratory animals used for the studies," he said. "Clearly, it is advantageous to the internal environment that concentration levels of these three nutrients be kept near the physiological saturation point. But it would be unscientific to as sume that the same is true of all other nutrients. Each should be Investigated on its own merits and with adequate numbers of ex periments throughout entire life cycles and successive generations of properly chosen laboratory an imals. He urges that'more Americans Senate Defeats ERP Measures Washington, April 6 IU1 The senate Tudsday defeated more proposed amendments In its slow drive toward passage of the $5, 580,000,000 Marshall plan renewal bill. - Administration leaders hoped the measure, now in its 10th day of senate debate, would be passed tomorrow. The house has yet to act on it. Spending for European recovery ended at midnight Sat urday but enough goods had been ordered previously to-keep ship ments going for a while. The first amendment defeated today was one by Sen. Allen J. Ellender, D., La., to require re covery nations to repay with stra tegic materials one-fourth of aid they get from the United States. Tlie senate also rejected anoth er Ellender amendment, 55 to 27. It would have prevented Marshall plan nations from using funds from sale of recovery goods for reduction of their national debts. Banks Purchase School Bonds Prinevllle, April 6 (IB -1 The First National bank of Prlneville and the First National of Port land yesterday purchased $65,000 of Redmond union high school bonds, proceeds of which will be used in a building expansion. The local bid was at 1 per cent and a premium of 11 cents on each $100. The only other bid was sub mitted by the Kedmoncl orancn of the United States National bank of Portland. ..Tne. bonds, which are three year series, will be amortized in 1951, 1952 and 1953. WINDOW IS BROKEN A plate glass window of the Congress Market,-210 Congress, was shattered about 10:30 o'clock Sunday night, and vandals were blamed for the act. Police were called to investigate. ' use more of the three nutrients. "Whether the extra years . of life now so clearly offered by to day's knowledge of nutrition can be conceived as seven of 10 or more or less," he said, "they should always be pictured not as added to old age, but as inserted at the apex ol the prime of life. "Certainly this adds much to the prospect of the accomplish ments of life's ambitions."

You've got to get behind tlie wheel yourself. Thai's why we urge you to come and see this new De Soto before you decide on any other car. You notice the difference right away. De Soto's doors are wide. You tralk in . . .and keep your hat on. The sleeting wheel doesn't hit your knees. You're on chair-high scats, so that you get all the benefit of the larger windows and windshield. You've got full stretch-out leg room, front and bark. And you've got more luggage space in lhat flush-floor trunk than you ever dreamed of before. Yes, De Soto is lower. It's got a longer wheelhasc (all passengers ride between the axles). But there's no penalty for these advantages. Overall length and breadth are not increased. You needn't rebuild your garage. You can still change a tire. And a dented fender doesn't mean an expensive body repair job. Let us show you all the new features of the car that Ids you drive without shifting. Compare it for beauty, comfort, safety and value.
