Wind Injures
Basin Grain
By WALT JENDRZEJEVT8KI
Assistant County Afent
Red-eyed farmers on the lighter
soils In the south end of the county
are ruefully surveying filled up
ditches and fence rows and cut off
grain after Wednesday's windstorm
and considering management prac
tices which offer a solution to wind
erosion.
Considerable discussion of the
value of maintaining a high level of
organic matter is sandy soils to keep
them from blowing could be heard
yesterday. Strong winds such as oc
curred Wednesday are likely to
move any light soil that Is open
Light soils, even though well sup
plied with organic matter, will prob.
ably drift if worked up. In some
areas, farmers resort to the prac
tice of spreading straw and standing
it up on end by running a disc over
it '
Better wind erosion control Is ob
tained by cover cropping. Good re
sults obtained with fall seeded I'tah
winter barter Indicate that crop as
a substitute for spring seeded grain
Many farmers on light soils fall
seed rye after potatoes for use as a
green manure crop prior to a second
year potato crop. In general, tt 1?
attempted to leave a minimum
amount of land open to spring wind
erosion.
In spite of occasional wind erosion
difficulties, sandr soils here produce
some of the highest quality pota
toes grown In this area.
Humus disappears more rapidly
from sandy soils than from heavier
soils. More regular return of or
ganic matter Is required.
Stassen In
For Busy Day
In Klamath
Harold Stassen. republican presi
dential aspirant, will be here tonight
and all indications point to a busy
schedule of speechmaking and hand
shaking. "The Mlnnesotan will fly Into
Klamath Falls from Ontario, ar
riving here about 6:15 p. m. Friday.
His party Includes about 30 persons
and uses two chartered planes.
Local officials, members of the
Young Republicans club and police
will meet the planes at the airport
and escort Stassen and his party
back to town.
At 6:45 he Is due to step out on
the courthouse veranda and de
liver a public open-air address from
the same spot his Oregon adversary,
New York s Tom Dewey, used last
Saturday noon.
The talk will last about half an
hour and both radio stations are
clearing time to be able to present
on-the-spot broadcasts.
On that point he and Dewey have
clashed and a lace-to-face debate
between the two Is on the griddle
In Portland. Dewey objects to laws
against communism, declaring that
communists should be kept In the
open, not run underground.
After the courthouse talk, Stassen
will go to the Winema for a ban-
quet and another talk at about 7:45
p. m.
He and his party will stay at the
Winema and will leave Klamath
Falls Saturday morning.

Very Muddy
Summer home owners thinking
about checking over their cabins at
Lake o" the Woods would do well to
take along a good stout shovel to
be sure of getting there.
E. P. Ivory, Klamath business

lake this week, he found much of
the ground still snow covered, and
roads, while clear of snow, extremely
muddy.
The lake is still coated with Ice,
but U rising, and it looks as if the
Ice may break up very soon, Ivory
said.
