POLARRIDDLE
Antarctic Parties Await
Passing of Night to
Start Charting Mission.
By Otto Jenssen
Washington (U.R In the frigid
wastes of the vast antarctic
region, two little bands of men,
separated by 1,800 miles of
uncharted snow and Ice, are
waiting for the long polar night
to end to resume their search
for an unknown coast.
One group, headed by Richard
B. Black of the department of
interior, la waiting at a base
800 miles south of the southern
most point of South America,
at Marguerite bay, in Palmer
Land. There are 23 men and
80 dogs at that location.
Across the ice, 1.600 miles to
the west la the other group of
33 men and a number of dogs.
Their camp Is at Little America
on the Ross barrier a floating
Ice sheet several hundred miles
long and some 40 feet thick.
This Is approximately 2,000
miles south and east of New
Zealand.
The principal task of these
(roups constituting the expedi
tion of the U. S. Antarctic Serv
ice headed by Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd is to chart the
coastline lying between their
two bases.
A section In the middle, about
900 miles long, was charted last
year, but another 600 miles re
mains to be mapped.
' The group at Marguerite bay
is expected to start sooner than
the other because it is farther
from the pole and hence the
night ends earlier. The men at
the Little America base must
wait until probably October.
When their Job is completed,
virtually the entire coastline of
the Immense continent at the
"bottom of the world," will be
known, and this country's claim
to share In Antarctica, when
this is made, will be strength
ened considerably.
Both groups will use dogsled
and airplane in making their
surveys. Black's party probably
faces the more difficult Job, for
m us path Is one Ice-covered
bay, deeply crevassed, and be
yond that is a range of moun
tains some 9,000 feet high.

In Canada as Refugee
An Eastern Canadian Port,
Aug. 2 (P) Robert W. Service

Dan McGrew" and numerous
other popular rhymes of the
Yukon, returned to Canada to
day as a war refugee after an
absence of 28 years.
He was In Russia when the
war started. After many diffi
culties he reached France, but
fled when the Nails swept down
the coast of Brittany.
HOP MARKET PROGRAM

30 trips between New York and
San Francisco.

Odenton, Md. A zebra taught
Or. M. B. Waita bow to terrace
his farm.
From a zebra he learned how
to stop the waste of precious,
life-giving topsoil, through ero
sion and now he's growing daf
fodils and tobacco.
The "zebra clue" came in
building terraces parallel, cur
ving steps or basins around hill
sides to lead off rainwater (low
ly and safely.
By time-honored fashion, far
mers plow, even on steep hills,
in straight furrows. But these
are perfect "channels" for heavy
rains to rush down, gouging
away the topsoil.
Back In 1907 Dr. Walte who
retired five years ago at a U. S.
department of agriculture plant
pathologist plowed to build
terraces that followed the cor
tour of the hill. Each terrace
was to have gradual down
ward incline.
But he would meet little hills
or bumps that would force the
terraces to go up.
Whan To Quit
One day at zoo he noticed
zebras have curving, parallel
stripes. Sometimes stripe end
ed abruptly, or tapered off.
Why not, he decided, simply
stop a terrace when it came to
an elevation, and let the water
it was draining flow down to the
next "step"? He did.
John Cotton, extension soil
conservationist at the University
of Maryland, credits Waite with
being the first Maryland farmer
to start such terraces.
Two Cash Crop
They, and other conservation
steps, proved profitable for
Waite. He soon had rich, ter
raced peach orchard, and recent
ly has turned mainly to growing
tobacco and daffodils as cash
crop.
Terraces and most conserva
tion practices are not new, but.
Cotton said, "there is a grim re
awakening to the necessity of
combatting erosion." Walte's
farm, he added, illustrates that
an individual can go ahead on
his own without government aid
to do the Job.
