In most eas"S, it isn't passible Hi Ii vel n fu ld to perfection but an ai tempi is made lo obtain a uniform gradient acrass a field and reduce sideoil as much as oassible. Sidefall tends to make water drift away from Ihe direc tion of irrigation, and when i( can not be eliminateI, its bad effects an be reduced by making Ihe sidefall uniform, the agent be lieves. Fviimple Noted As an example of what leveling. an do on a farm, Maxwell points o the 7!1'2 acres of irrigable land which was leveled Inst "winter on the farm owned by Mrs. Gladys Links - and leas' d by Norm Wei- nd. located nine miles north of Madnis. liefore lMing leveled, the land, ill in iMrtatoes, used sU'1.2 acre feet of water in VXA, with no pre. irrigation. After the leveling oper ali'ill. (foliitoes were sernled on Ihr 'ntire acreage again this spring. In April. -10.1 acre feet of water weivt on Ihe land fur pre-irrigalion. due lo (he proceeding dry winter. The remainder of the season, 2ltil acre feel went onto the fieJd. Breaking it down lo acre feet an acre, during the crop sea son, usage averaged -i.su acre icei ur acre, compared wi'h .i..i6 acre fH't an acre in l!f;", of which one half foot was for pre-irrigalion, bringing the regular season use lown to 2.85 acre fiil an acre. AJlhough results -miiy not be as dramatic in all caser. Maxwell be lieves that water savings will al ways result lo some extent. It is best to undertake leveling1 when soil is relatively dry, and in his area, fall is generally the best lime of Ihe year, Ihe agent believes. Moist soil compacts to a (mint that Jill areas are hard to work nnd crop yields will be re- liiced for veai"s. In some instances, because of the compaction. The fanner does not pay for the setting-up services of Ihe ugent but will pay for the machine and operator. It is estimate) (hat Ihe cost will run from to SUM an acre. Federal cosl-sharing under Ihe Agricultural Conservation program makes It xssihle for Ihe farmer to ive a return of 50 per cent of the cost, not lo exceed JJO an acre. tost wixmmm 1 i-i'iti.ii., l- f t v if'" MOTHFR'S VIGIL This Christmas tree, lit since 1950, Is nurturing the hope of Mrs. Luella Millur that her son is olive even though the Army has sent her a coffin bearing body they say Is her son.

They hope to lure travelers from airlines, bus lines and private cars with innovations in speed and lux urv. Al the same lime, the new trains would carry niore passeng ers al less operat i ng cost ami help wipe out the 700 million dol lar a year deficit now plaguing the pas-iengor lines.

Some In Hervliw Some of the new trains already are m service. The more revolu-! lionary ones are still in the test ing stage and will not board their first paying passengers until 193:' or later. Chicagoaas got a look at one of die most unusual new trams at the recent General Motors power anui echibition. It is GM's 'aero- tra-in." which the New York Cen tral plans to put in service for the first time on its Chicago-De- tmit run next spring. The cars are on adaptation of a 10-passenger bus GM manufaatur- ors for intercity bus routes. Tbc train car is 18 inches wider than the bus. however, providing wider seats and greater aisle space. Ten ars are lo be pulled by a special ly designed single-unit diesel loco motive. So liht Is the aluminum-bodied lerotrain, aeoixling to GM, it can haul 400 passengers from Chicago o New York for about 5120 worth of fuel at a top speed of 102 miles ner hour. The lightweight "talgo" train that has been used In Spain tor six years will be Introduced to Americans in December as fhe "let rocket" on Ihe Chicago-Pe- oria run of the Rock Island Railroad. American Car & Found rv Co. describes it as a modern ized, more flexible version of the Spanish 'tnlgo." Train Will Bend Kach car is made up of three joinled units which allow the train to bend more readily. .This, along With a lower center of gravity, -re duces sideways and permits great- r snced rounding curves, - the nlgo car weighs only half as much as n standard coach. Another train of low center of gravity is being built by the Budd Co. of Philadelphia for the renn svlvania Railroad. Like the talgo. it employs the tubular principle-oi construction. The heavy center sill running the length of an orUmary car is dispensed with.' ami , the walls, floor and roof provide-the firmness for the car. The Budd train, which the Penn sylvania will put into operation early next year, will consist of seven coaches seating 574 pussen- ecrs. plus a separate car for lighting, heating and air condi tioning units. The floor of the train is only 22 inches above the ralis. comnared with 51 inches on ordin irv trains. BuM also is building a self-oro-oel'ed coach car called the "hot od" for the Nw Haven Railroad aeh of the six cars in the train ;s emiipned with two 300horsepow r diesel engines.

Bank's Teenage Loan Plan Works CHICAGO (UP Teen-agers by and large are a responsible lot and good loan risks, according to the F irst Commercial Bunk which set aside a special $1,000 fund to lend money to them on a weekly re-payment plan without co-signers or collateral. So far, the bank says, the youngsters have made their pay ments on the dot. The fund is administered by a board of directors made up of threo high school Btudents Eddie Andrufi, 17, chairman of the board; Dick Djolund, 17, treasurer; Judy P.edman, 16, secretary in charge o( loan applications. The youthful board lent $165 at three per cent Interest in the lirst month after the fund was estab-i lished Sept. 1. Loans, averaging $15, are made for a period of up to one year. No Money for Car One 13-year-old youngster ap plied for a loan because he had just moved into a new neighbor hood and thought It would help him become acquainted if he could make the school basketball team. He had a basketball ring and net but no backboard. . He wanted to use the lime It would take to save the money in practicing, so he applied for a $5 loan to buy a backboard at once. The loan was granted and he's been paying it back at 50 cents a- week from baby-sitting money. A high -school girl borrowed money to get a permanent in time for the opening of school. The board figured the confidence . the permanent would give her wa$ enough reason for the loan. A brother and sister borrowed $50 to help their father undergo needed operation. But the teen-aged board can be hard-boiled, too. One high school senior wanted money to finishing paying for a car, but he didu't get it. He didn't need the car to get to school, and he didn't have a job. "We can t depend on kids pay ing back loans just from their -ib lowances," they said. "Their folks might get mad at them and cut off the money." Sfudy of Effects of Snake Dams on Fish, Wildlife Set A comprehensive study of the effects of Snake river dams on fish and wildlife has been launched by the fish and game commissions ot Oregon. Idaho and Washington, and the US Fish and Wildlife Ser vice. Pacific Northwest Power Com pany, which has applied for a federal license to construct major dams and power plants at Moun tain Sheep and Pleasant Valley on the middle Snake-between Oregon and Idaho, has advanced necessary funds to finance the joint study until March 1, 1936. At that time the scope of additional work is to be determined. j Officials ot both the power de velopment company and the fish eries group; term the Snake river study "another important sr-p in1 the continuing research of the ti.h and wildlife problem that exists! in the Pacific, drainage area where more and more hydro electric dams are being built to keep pace with a growing economy." The generating firm sponsor ed by Washington Water Power, Pacific Power & Light, Portland General Electric and Montana Power companies selected loca tions for the $210,000,000 poy-cr project above the mouths of the Salmon and Imnaha rivers in ordr" to protect fish runs now known to be using those tributaries for major migrations. However, the joint study will help determine the extent and im portance of any fish and wildlife resources which would be affected by the Snake river project. Pacific Northwest 'Power has asked to build a 255-foot high dam at Mountain Sheep and a 534-toct structure at Pleasant Valley. The project would develop 1,446,000 kil owatts of hew power for the North west. Pacific Northwest Power offici cials said they recognized in the early stages of project planning that the dams would affect fish and wildlife, and had "called on responsible agencies for consulta tions and advice."
