The largest single assess ment was 1178,981.73 in Klam ath county. Sixty-two Chinese seamen an route to San Francisco for ship ment back to China, will pass through Klamath - Falls at 9 o'clock Thursday morning via Southern Pacific. SP officials said Wednesday. The sailors' vessel was tied up In Vancouver, B.

PACIFIC AREA v w. - E PAGE SIXTEEN KLAMATH Silt iJf DFEMERGENGY R SUPPLY t w.w-aJ sr 1 sT W With nearly half of all farms in the Pacific northwest depend ing upon irrigation for their pre ductive existence, the protection of irrigated land against mil ero sion and loss of fertility presents one of the mose important chal lenges lacing the northwest. This observation was voiced today by J. H. Christ, in charge of toil conservation service oper ations in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, as a preface to hiw announcement that an enlarged program of assistance to irriga tion farmers is being planned. by technical workers of the service. "It is not commonly realized that water improperly applied can become a destructive boom erang as well as a blessing," he explains. "Lack of precaution on some of our older irrigation projects, for example, has re sulted in serious top soil disap pearance, leaching of soil fer tility, alkali accumulation caused by poor drainage, weed infesta tion and other danger signals. "As a consequence, this means reduced crop yields and ultimate bankruptcy if such undermining losses are not checked. Certainly it is the part of wisdom both to intensify our defense efforts on present lands facing Jeopardy and to take preventative steps on new lands coming under irri gation. , "From a long background of experience in this field, the United States department of ag riculture and the state agricul tural colleges have acquired. large measure of technical knowl edge to help irrigation farmers with the problem. It is therefore a matter principally of sharpen ing attention to this important need, and this is the course which the soil conservation service is preparing to follow within its normal operating program. The service already is equip ped to carry on a well' rounded program of . assistance under present authorizations. In addi tion to its basic activities in soil and moisture conservation and utilization of CCC camp labor, the service has been designated as the action agency of the de partment of agriculture in ad ministering auxiliary programs embracing special assistance in irrigation and drainage,' farm phases of flood control, sub-mar ginal land purchases, small wa ter faculties installations and farm forestry development, all of which can play a helpful part in attaining more stability and security on irrigated lands." - In recognition that some of the most serious erosion in the northwest occurs on irrigated land, the soil conservation ser vice began special studies of the problem four years ago by es tablishing a demonstration pro ject on the Kittitas project in Washington, with the objective of finding more scientific meth ods of applying irrigation water, Mr. Christ reports. This project, one of the first of its kind to be set up in the entire countrv. sun- plied proof that improved irri gating and land use practices can De made to pay substantial oavioends both in effecting hieh. er crop yields and in saving top soil losses. The lessons from this work and from other experience that has been gained over the northwest as a whole during re cent years can be profitably drawn upon, Mr. Christ reminds. ' Many northwest farmers al ready have received special aid in working out plans for better and more profitable land use and the curbing of erosion, Mr. Christ says, through requests that are placed with county ag ricultural agents for the services of soil conservation service tech nicians. Additional assistance will now be extended in this manner to the fullest extent of available facilities, he declares, leading to more widespread adoption of sound conservation measures. "As a means of mnin mi ! the erosion and land use prob lem with maximum effective ness, however, the way has been opened through state enabling legislation for groups of inter ested farmers to form soil con servation districts on their own , Initiative," Regional Conservator Christ points out. "Because a soil conservation district embodies the sound nrin. ciple of local initiative, local re sponsibility and local control, while at the same time providing machinery for consolidated at tack upon an entire land prob-' lem area, it affords an ideal way for public agencies such a th soil conservation service to ex-' tend extra help that is needed by local land owners beyond their own self-help capacity. During the past. year, 19 such districts have been formed by northwest land owners, covering approximately 8,000,000 acres. This Is certainly a significant ftep In the right direction to in sure the permanent productivity of our invaluable northwest lands." fcSsf55-'.- r-Jm o-- f.:LaY la a i i -ilM&r i ) aasawslta after a blissful 16 months at Angel Island Immigration Station on San Francisco Bay, 325 tailors from the scuttled German uner Columbus are shown pouring Into a special train that will take them from San Fran cisco to an Internment camp near Ft.

The defense communications board, Washington, D. C, has selected Klamath Falls as one of the strategic points in the state to locate an emergency power supply unit for NYA radio trans mitters, being constructed by youth workers, as part of Ore gon s NYA preparations for na tional defense, according to Ivan G. Munro. state administrator. This project will make it pos sible for reserve power supplies to be available in Oregon in the event of any national defense emergency when normal sources of electric power are stooned. While commercial electric com panies in the state are said to have very adequate facilities to cover such an emergency, these NYA power supplies would serve as auxiliary units should the need arise and would be able to operate independently of any outside aid. These emergency power sun- ply units in the form of gas- driven electric generators, will also be located in Salem, Bend and Portland, after main radio transmitters for the NYA radio project in these cities are on the air.
