emaking A Farm
I Just One Day
On the picturesque Verde River
near Cottonwood, Arizona, is a 35-
, acre irrigated farm that belongs to
• Robert C. Hardgrave, a disabled
'veteran. The idea of remaking a
farm in a day was the same here as
en the humid East, but the con-
ditions were different.
The supervisors of three Verde
Valley
t>
r a 11 e y districts — Oak Creek,
Bridgeport, and Camp Verde—
picked out what they believed was
the most farmed -out, run-down,
depleted -place in the entire valley,
as offering the most worthly chal-
lenge to the ingenuity of soil con-
servationists. This farm also offer-
ed a good stage on which to ac-
quaint a Iare number of people
with the importance of both soil
:end water conservation and with
the methods Lest suited to valley
land in Arizona and similar areas.
Seventy-three manufacturers and
dealers in tractors and farm equip-
tnent agreed to donate the use of
their machines, and the job de-
veloped into one of the largest
farm -machinery demonstrations in
the history of the Southwest, Con-
treetQrs offered to c1Qnate the use
ee
of their equipment. Supply houses
would furnish needed materials.
Farmers, laborers, high school
youths and Boy Scouts volunteered
to work. Carloads of equipment and
materials were shipped into the
area from as lar away as 800 miles.
The district conservationist and his
technical staff got busy with plann-
ing.
Each plan and boy among the
.volunteers knew every detail of his
job as a result of tedious briefing in
advance by the technical staff and
the district supervisors. A lone wo-
man tractor operator did a master -
fell job of land leveling,
Up came a model farm. At day's
end it had bench terraces, and an
irrigation ditch lined with water -
saving concrete by machinery which
slid 600 feet of lining in twenty
'minutes. Another ditch was lined by
a spray gun and a third was oils
lined. There was a large storage
reservoir scooped out by a giant
bulldozer, designed to save time and
labor in irrigating and to provide
.fishing and other recreation. The
course of the Verde River had lit-
erally been changed by the same
bulldozer, and given steainbank
protection against badly eroding
land.
Spectators saw just about every-
thing done that is needed on an
irrigated farm, such as plowing and
floating of fields, installation of
concrete and corruguated iron pipes
and irrigation structures. They saw
post -hole diggers at work, a me-
chanical trencher, a sprinkler irriga-
tion system installed, and siphons.
House and barn were given a coat
of paint. A garden site was pre-
pared, an orchard planted, rose and
other flowers .et out around the
house.
The owner, a veteran wounded at
Metz, in the wink of a clay saw
done a complete conservation job
that would have taken him ten
years to accomplish alone.—From

Conservation." b y Wellington

New Saw Handles
Cylinder shields and handles for
a one-man portable saw are made
of rubber phenolic compound in-
stead of magnesium alloy. Com-
pound' comes in four grades: wood -
flour -filled, asbestos, cotton flock
and fabric filled. Use of rubber
reduces weight of saw and cost of
production, company claims; also
makes saw more resistant to biows
and shock,

The Fading Season
Sumner begins to fade. Not as
colors fade, or as beauty fades in
a face, but as a day past midafter-
noon begins to fade away toward
evening. The peak is past, the .lush
and eager growth that surges out
of spring reaching toward matur-
ity. Much of the flowering is ac-
complished
scomplished and the fruiting is at
hand. The leaves, whose prime
function is growth and the sus-
tenance of growth, begin to look a
little worn; their job is all but
done for another year. The grass
heads ripen. Milkweed thickens its
pods, Asters begin to bloom, and
goldenrod, the festoons of early
autumn.
You see a more pronounced flush
of scarlet in the sumac clumps.
Sumac is no reliable index, to be
sure; one frond will turn in an
otherwise normal clump even in
June. But when whole clumps be-.
gin to put on rouge, something is
happening to the season. From a
distance, the dogwoods seem un-
touched; but come closer and you -
see the age -lines in the leaves,
the red veining of October, • And
even more significant, the buds for
next season's dogwood bloom are
already formed there on the twigs.
The elms have been ragged for
several weeks, but now they are
shedding those first leaves, not all
of them insect casualities, which
fall before the color change strikes
the whole tree. Even the maples •
begin to look weary and dusty;
their leaves have lost that gloss
which was theirs when the chloro-
phyll was new and full of vigor,
Little signs, the lesser signals of
a season's change. The green pro-
cesses are slowing down; ripening
accelerates. And earliest of all to
recognize this are the insects. At
summer's peak they were loud, but
with a lazy overtone of satiety.
Now they are insistently loud. The.
katydid and the.•cricket outdo the
droning bum bleb ee. Time shortens,
in their lives, and some inner cons -
pulsion bids then to haste. The
season comes to late afternoon, and
sunset approaches. A sunset, how-
ever, of gold and crimson on all
the hillsides where summer so re-
cently took its ease, -- From the

Modern Etiquette
Q. Are there any certain ac,.
Basions when a man precedes the
woman he is accompanying?
,A. Only when the way is uncer-
tain or .dangerous, such as when
pushing their way through a bois-
terous crowd. He also procedes
her when alighting from a vehicle, so
that he can better assist her in
alighting.
Q. Is it proper to eat the lettuce
on which a salad is served?
A. It certainly is all right. The
lettuce is as much a part of that
salad as any other of the ingredi-
ents.
Q. Is it good form to mail a
wedding invitation to "Miss Shirley
Smith and Brother?"
A. Never. The correct procedure
is to mail a separate invitation to
each of these persons.
Q. Is a woman always supposed
to be seated at a table to the right
of her male companion?
A. When practical, yes. The few
definite rule about it include the
seating of a guest of honor on the
right of the host or hostess or
chairman, and the military rule by
which the senior officer walks as
well as sits on his junior's right.
Q. When a marriage engagement
has been broken, isn't a girl entitled
to consider the gifts and engage-
ment ring her former fiance has
given her as belonging to her?
A. No; good form requires that
she return all these.
Q. Is it proper to mail out for-
mally engraved invitations to a
christening?
A. No; only the family and inti-
mate friends are invited.
Q. On formal occasions, when
many people are present, is it es-
sential that any one person be in-
troduced to every member of the
group?
A. No. An arrival may be intro-
duced to one or two persons, or he
may be left to talk with those near-
by without exchanging names,
Q. Should a person insist upon
giving a tip in a restaurant that ob-
serves a Cho tipping" rule?
A. No. It is not only unneces-
sary to give a tip, but it is incon-
siderate to the management for one
to insist upon breaking rules.
Q. What jewels, if any, should
the bride wear for her wedding
ceremony?
A. Only the gift from the bride-
groom,
Q. Would it be proper to write
a note of condolence to the parents
of •a friend who has died, even if
you do not know the parents?
A. There is never anything im-
proper about any act of thought-
fulness and sincerety.
Q. Who really bows first when
meeting, the woman or the man?
A. In Europe a roan is supposed
to bow to a woman first; in Amer-
. ica, the woman is supposed to bow
first. However, few people today
observe this formality. And after
alt, if friends know each other well
enough, it makes no difference who
makes the first greeting,
Smear Campaign
In Washington
. Digging out and exposing com-
munists and their stooges is a
worthy piece of public safety work,
But some of the U.S. activities
on the job . are scandalous. As the
U.S. representative of The Econ-
omist of London puts it:
"It is a technique which shocks
many decent -minded Americans be-
cause it seeks to dress the coin-
_ mittee hearings in something like
the robes—or at least the language
--of a court of law and yet makes
nonsense of the accepted practices
• of legal procedure."
It was at the current (McCarran)
"spy trial" that one of Canada's
senior officals got the Communist
tag.
The meetings of the U.S. Senate
subcommittee are supposed to be
secret, but, since politics and pub-
licity are of such great importance
to the probers, a lot of news gets
out.
The Canadian public is glad to
have the assurance of Ottawa that
there was no justification whatever
for the allegation or 'insinuation
that E. Herbert Norman of our
Department of External Affairs is
or was a Communist or a sym-
pathizer.
How did the Norman name come
up?
He once held a two -yea'- scholar-
ship from the Institute of Pacific
Affairs. That body farmed a long
time ago for study of the Far East

That the Institute has had some
Communists is true. That all its
members are Communists like say-
ing all men are Scotsmen.
From one intimate with the
Washington goings-on we had the
following:
"Finding out about Communists
and especially those in positions of
influence is fine, but that's only
a very minor part of whatLs really
behind circuses of the McCarthy-
McCarran kind, These things' are
all part of the 'get Truman' drive.
The same thing is true of the war
on Acheson, He's one of the best
men we've ever had in that job
but smearing _ him helps, they
think, in the war on Truman, Until
after the election you can expect
that politics will. dominate every-

If wise decisions on grave mat-
ters affecting the whole world can
emerge from this hocus-pocus, we
will be lucky indeed.
