Of the water used in the serv ice area of the North Bay aque duct, 75 per cent or 157,000-acrt feet a year-will be used for farm ing. In the South Bay aqueduct are. four per cent of the 10.000-acre feet a year will go into agricul ture. And in the Feather River serv ice area in the Sacramento Val ley, all of its Feather River wa ter 77.000 acre feet a year, will go for farming. Several amendments to the Brown administration's water pro- gram were offered, but all were beaten down by heavy votes. One of these was by Lloyd Lowrey of Rumscy. He proposed an acreage limita tion be added to the bill. He said he did. not want to set a definite acreage limit at ISO acres as in federal law. He specified each farmer would get enough water to irrigate a farm of sutficient size to support an average family. SHORT-CL'T Sf. PAUL. Minn.

TU 2-3964 Naish Victim Of Dialectic Materialism HOLLYWOOD (LTD Acldt i arrol Naish, an Irishman whi as spent 90 years specializing in talect roles from Italian li hinese laments that he has ye o play a part with a brogue. "H've never played- an Irishman ecause no casting director think. . look like one," said the 59-year Id performer, whose real name i ..arrol Patrick Naish. Naish, a product of New York Piiv' unrwr East Side is small. as a swarthy complexion, oar iirlv hair and a mustache. At oresent. he is television s Chinese detective. Charlie Chan. I became adept at - Dialects when I was a kid." he said, "be aus in mv neiehborhood there were Italians and Irish and Jews U mixed up. All the mamas thought 1 belonged to their own nationality because 1 coum sing any of their languages. It was easy because I was a singer. I started as a song-piugger when I was 12. we usea 10 get paid $2 a performance to go to vaudeville houses, get up in a dox seat and' sing new songs. That's how they sold them in those davs." As a stage, screen radio and TV actor, Naish has played among manv character Darts Arabs. Mexicans, Poles," Italians, gau chos, Russians, Hindus, French men and Japanese. He thinks the movies, radio and TV have lost a great deal of warmth and humanity because there are so few dialect comedies these davs. "People are too sensitive," he said. "They forget that basically we are all immigrants. It s like losing the thing that belongs to this country and makes us what we are. After all, we are the cra dle of democracy. "The trouble is that a lot of bad writers burlesqued tke nationali ties too much. But some of the good writers did things like the wonderful old radio shows my own 'Luigi' and 'Abie's Irish Rose.' They were stories of broth erly lqve underneath. They could i be loved by any nationality "There's great humor in dia- lect. For instance, recently I was in Dublin and I met a great big Irishman named Morris Gold- herg who spoke with the thickest brogue you ever heard. What could be more wonderful? Naish said he feels the theater's greatest need is for plays with more human warmth. "There's no heart nowadays," he said. "They just want to put in seductions and neuroses. It's not like going to the theater any more. It's like going to an asy lum." AF Playing Game Of Jacks TALLAHASSEE, Ha. (UPD-Il I a general had walked in, he would have been surprised. On the floor were colonels, ma jors and captains playing jacks ine Air force believes a varia tion of the children's game, called mat jacks, has recreational value. The high-ranking officers, attend ing a world conference of Air Force recreation officers, wanted to see for themselves. The game was "invented" by Leo F. Milan of Denver, Colorado, who is working on a doctorate in recreation at Florida State Uni versity here. It comes complete with a three-by-five-foot canvas mat, to keep the players off dirty floors. For added interest, a circle is provid ed in the center and cut into num bered slices like a pie. The rules for mat jacks are standardized and eliminate a lot of the pure luck of the children's game, making it more a matter of skill as the officers found out on bended knees. And mat jacks may be played in singles or dou bles. I i I rT THE TEAMSTERS TREE is the caption given this photo sent in by Joseph B. Hall of Shady Cove, Oregon. He says in hit note to the paper: "I am enclosing a snapshot of the teamsters tree. It grew a few miles south of Prospect in Jackson County along the highway to Butte Falls. I named it because of the perfect graft. It reminds me of Paul Bunyan and the year of the Big Wind. No doubt Pea Soup Shorty placed the prop to keep it standing. Nothing like this could happen outside the State of Jefferson. Douglas fir, mind you, a reminder of the forest that grew herea bouts. Persons (in the picture) are T. R. Hall and Alice Hall. T. R. upset the tall ones around here once but refused to spoil this picture. The trees are dead now." County Agent Reports Farm News DHefed From The County Agent Itadio Programs By WALT JKNDR.FJF.HSKI For aphid control in seed potato fields, early application of Sjstox sprays can't be beat At 'l lb. of technical material pcracre, Systox gives lasting aphid control. Systox is very toxic and must be handled with care. Systox also called Demeton is a system of insecticide which is ab sorbed by plants to make plant sap toxic to aphids over an extended lieriod. It must be applied early when all plants have emerged and when plant height averages around four inches. Aphids have been numerous all spring. Expect peach aphids to in- fest potato fields very early this season. , When aphid populations are not controlled, excessive spreads of vi rus diseases occur. Early and thorough roguing to remove diseased plants is as nec essary as ever to grow good seed Systox spray to control aphids merely reduces early season virus spread which ordinarily occurs be fore diseased plants can be identi fied and removed. Intelligent use of irrigation wa ter now can buy you a piece of that million dollar rain we haven't had all spring. Many potato fields coming up now need water as soon as they van be furrowed out. Good mois ture can reduce possible frost dam- Re as well as make up for the 10 duys to two weeks of growth lost by this spring's delayed plant ings. Decision to irrigate grain should be based on your estimate of moisture conditions in your soil two or three weeks from today rather than present moisture con ditions. There's no decision really. Now is the time to irrigate. While grain is jointing. Not after it has head ed. Irrigation then can lay it flat on the ground. Warmer weather recently is put ting fast growth on alfalfa and clover. Cold weather and repeated frosts earlier brought on a great deal of disease trouble in hay and seed fields. Serious stem blight observed in afai(a was encouraged by frost. Blight has not, damaged crowns or roots but destroyed much of the early stem growth. Blight damage in one field of fall seeded winter peas thinned stands so much that the field was plowed and seeded to grain. Maleic hydrazide spray applied last fall by the experiment station to growing potato vines again sue-' cessfiilly prevented sprouting in tu ber samples recently checked. MH40 sprays are being used in some areas to prevent sprouting of iwtatoes grown for chip manufac ture. Sprouting is a marketing prob lem in fate crop table .slock shipped to market after March 1. . Sprouting in the late Crop encour ages the trade to change to spring gruwn crops.
