Snow Surveys Aid
Accurate snow surveys are
made monthly during the winter
and early spring, with final
measurements taken about April
1, and soil conditions under the
snow are determined at key
points shortly before the annual
meetings. These figures, with
the accumulation of records and
past experience of observers
the forecasts arrived at in each
district are now generally ac
cepted as accurate and are used
by irrigation districts, larmers,
and industries.
The one factor which cannot
be foretold Is the spring rain
fall and this sometimes material
ly changes the picture. Work
has reported that the prelimln
arv reports are not too encour-
aging, although March weather
Increased the storage In some
sections.
Poison Campaign
Against Squirrels
Eyed for County
Ground squirrels have started
spring activity and plans are
now under consideration for a
poison campaign. E. G. Alberts,
a representative of the federal
wild life control bureau Is here
and County Agent Robert G.
Fowler said it would be known
definitely in a couple of days
if the same project as last year
would be continued. Under the
plan the poison is mixed and
distributed and instructions
given by the federal aide.
The county agent said the last
two years there has been a de
cline in the ground squirrel pop
ulation in the county and this is
attributed to the poisoning
drives. At this season the squir
rels come out of winter hiber
nation hungry for green stuff
and eat bark of trees and ten
der roots of all kinds.

Japan. The island-has a popula
tion of 435,000 Japanese more
than half of the entire Ryukyus

many ways from tha Nipponese

They look like Japanese, but
are a little shorter, stockier and
dark, often with coarser fea
tures. Lt. Gen. Simon Bolivar
Buokner, Jr., commander of the
10th army, describes them as
tha "scrubby type of Jap if
there's anything sorubbier than
a Jap."

German Farmers
To Avert Famine
By United Press
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
called upon German workers in
agricultural areas to 'continue

their only hope of averting "the
famine which threatens Germany."

years Germany had relied on
food plundered from the coun
tries she occupied and warned
that this year "Germany must
depend on her own resources.
Elsenhower's message, broad
cast by OWI transmitters in this
country and abroad, said that
Allied armies were "driving
ever more deeply into the heart
of Germany" and that the Ger
man government no longer had
"effective control over wide
areas."
