It was at the 600-foot mark (where the added support Is being installed) that the pre vious tower collapsed while un der construction in October, 1950, Nimble-footed steeple jacks started work on the new tower July 30. The tower itself weighs 177,000 pounds, and with its cables and insulators the weight is increased to 400,000 pounds, Erection of the tower is being done in 20-foot sections which weigh three tons apiece. The tremendous weight of the struct ure will rest on a cone-shaped in sulator measuring three feet in diameter. However, the entire load will be concentrated on a i . . - spo W u . "?uare lnches' or about the size of an ordinary saucer. This is safe because the insulator has been tested to with stand a weight of 1,800,000 pounds. KHJ's president, Richard O. Dunning, said: "The tower's half wave design will give Spokane the tallest tower in the West and one of the four tallest in the world. It is designed to bring KHQ listeners the utmost in con stant signal strength in Central Washington, Oregon, Montana, and the outlying districts of Idaho. , o School Bus Law Soon To Be In Effect Although" some school buses are being used to transport har vest workers to and from fields, the state traffic safety division reminded Oregon motorists today that soon a stopped school bus will mean children are likely to be in the roadway.

Authors are Fred M. Tile- kieer for the soil conservation ser vice, and John W. Wolfe, assist ant agricultural engineer at OSC. In the bulletin's forward, F. E. Price, OSC dean and director of agriculture, and George D. Clyde, chief of the division of irrigation and water conservation, soil con servation, point out that the prac tice of irrigating to raise crops has increased so much since the first settlers arrived in Oregon that there is not enough water to adequately serve the land a- vailable for irrigation.' As a result, considerable em phasis is being placed on more efficient use of available irri gation water. In order to use often leased to farmers to haul harvesters during the summer, during which time the "stop law" is not effective, confuses many motorists, the division explained. When schools start, however, the law is in effect, and motor ists must stop. Failure to do so, the division concluded, can re sult not only in arrest and a fine, but also could result in injury or death for some child. The law further requires that all vehicles must remain stopped as long as any children are leaving the bus or crossing the roadway. f " KfrUv - -v. RENINGER Supper Served water efficiently! it is necessary to know how much water plants need, they declare. Among crops for which the bul letin authors have estimated ir rigation requirements are alfalfa, pole and bush beans, corn.grains, grass seed, hay, hops, legume seed, orchards, pastures, peas, potatoes, sugar beets and torn atoes. Besides containing information of value to many farmers, the bulletin . marks something of a milestone for the expiment sta tioh, in that it is station bulletin No. 500, the 500th bulletin pub lished since the OSC, experiment station was established some 64 years ago.
