PAGE TWELVE RENO EVENING GAZETTE MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1936 1931 SOIL PLANS ARE AT Objections Are Voiced to Bureau Red Tape When Meeting Opens Voicing objections to the centralization of the AAA soil conservation program in Washington, with local committees handicapped by red tape and lack of understanding of local problems on the part of those in charge of the central bureau, representatives of farmers of Nevada, Aiizona and California, discussed the 1937 program today with representatives of the farm administration at a largely attended meeting at the university. George E. Farrell of the western division of the farm administration, arrived here from Washington, D. to conduct the meet- Ing, is the first of a series scheduled for western states. At the outset Farrell said the meetings were being held to secure the views of the farmers on establishing a program that would carry out the soil conservation idea, which is the basis of the entire scheme.

Briefly the discussion centered around the following questions: following questions: "What practices should be recommended as most valuable from agricultural conservation standpoint? "In 1937 should a greater portion of the payments be made for soil- building practices than in 1936? "Should a maximum total conservation allowance be established for each farm or ranch? If such an allowance were established how should it be earned? "Should the crop-income insurance features contained in the present program be enlarged? "Should the program be handled from the standpoint of the farm as an individual unit, or from the standpoint of crops as a unit?" Representative farmers from California and Arizona declared that the time was too short to work out a new program applicable to many parts of their states because such a program affected the relationship between land owners and tenants in hundreds of instances. Agricultural extension agents from all parts of Nevada and representatives of the same agencies from the other states were present. It is through the extension service that the program is laid before the! farmers. Extension of the soil conservation program to the ranges was also discussed with a view to carrying forward in 1937 the program that was announced last month by Secretary Wallace for 1936. Under that program stockmen and range users River Island Is Cleaned And May Be Planted A crew of WPA workmen is now engaged In clearing the weeds and brush from the "island" that connects the center piers of the Virginia and Center street bridges and if funds can be secured, it is planned to plant shrubs, trees and vines on the narrow strip.

Last spring city workers cleaned the island but since that time it has been covered with weeds, willows and a few volunteer cottonwoods. The island--no one could agree on a name for it--was a CWA project When the big boulders were movee from the river bed to form the boat- shaped island there were many protests, although there was an equal number who considered the island an improvement. It had been planned to plant trees and shrubs on the strip but that idea failed to materialize for lack of funds. If the money can be secured, ornamental shrubs and vines may be set out, not only for their decorative value but also so that the roots may bind the soil and prevent high water from washing it away. It also has been suggested that plants producing berries be used so that birds can find food and refuge there in the winter.

ALLOTTED FOR HOLIDAY AT P. 0. The Reno postmaster has been allotted $1820 to hire extra help to assist in handling the Christmas rush this year, it was stated at the postoffice department in Washington today, This sum will provide approximately 2901 man-hours of extra work at the Reno postoffice during the ten-day period of Christmas rush, postal officials figure. The allotment is based on the Reno postmaster's estimate of the amount of additional help he will need this year, it was said. The money will be used mainly to hire extra clerks and carriers but additional laborers, if necessary above the regular quarterly allotment, will be paid from this fund.

Substitutes now listed at the Reno postoffice are expected to be given preference, but the question is entirely up to the postmaster, officials said. W. M. Kennedy was awarded the contract for building the third wing on the Washoe general hospital and will start work immediately, hospital officials announced today. Bids were submitted Saturday by two contractors, Kennedy and J.

C. Dillard. Kennedy's bid of $30,898 was accepted by the hospital trustees at their meeting Saturday night. The foundation for the wing was laid several years ago. The addition will be two stories high, but only the second floor of the new wing will be finished, and this will be used for a maternity ward and also for private The first floor and the basement will not be completed at the present time, but as soon as money is available in the hospital fund, this work will be done, the trustees said today.

Payment of construction costs from the hospital funds has been questioned by the district attorney who asserts that under the state law bond issue would be necessary to raise the money. District Attorney Brown says that the hospital board does not have the authority to use the hospital funds for building purposes, while the trustees declare that Brown told them that they could use such funds, and that previously they had carried on a build- Ing and improvement program from their funds. Each contractor submitted six bids on alternate plans as follows: $44,057. Dillard $45,352. METSKER CCCCAMPCHANGES IN NEVADA ARE WASHINGTON, D.

Oct. CCC camps will be established at Austin and Logandale in Nevada I'or the next six-months period, it was stated today. Pour camps, working under the jurisdiction of the department of agriculture in Nevada, will be discontinued. The Eiko camp, working in the Humboldt National forest; and the Las Vegas camp in Clark county, working in the Dixie National forest, will be dropped because a large amount of work has been done in these areas and the department decided to transfer the companies to other work areas. One of these camps will be transferred to Nye county, with headquarters at Austin for work in the Nevada National forest.

The Austin camp has previously been occupied, and no new building construction is necessary It is not known as yet where the Elko camp will go. The Cedarville, camp, which has been working in Washoe county on the Charles Sheldon bird and game refuge, will be hereafter used for private forest improvement work and assigned to Clark county, with headquarters at Logandale. The naval ammunition depot camp at Hawthorne, which has been under general agricultural department supervision, will also be moved.

Hopkins, spent $72,315,997 for administrative expenses since the Inception of the agency, says an Associated Press dispatch from Washington. Administrative costs In Nevada amounted to $121,872 or 8.5 per cent of the total WPA expenditures, the report stated.

On August 31 there were 41 persons employed on the administrative staff in this state. Total WPA expenditures in this state amounted to $1,436,284 up to August 31, by far the lowest of any of the western and midwestern states. The highest costs of administration in proportion to the amount spent were in western states, with Montana leading at 8.6 per cent in spending $836,540 for administration of a program totaling $9,732,798. Nevada stood second in administration costs on a percentage basis with 8.5 per cent. The national average was given by Hopxins as 4.1 per cent.

Hopkins reported there were 34,939 persons employed in the WPA administrative branch on August 31. He said the figures on administrative costs did not Inclade those for the central office in Washington, but with these added the total percentage for administration would amount to 4.5 per cent, lESTlNYlffl IN RIVER SUIT Taking of additional testimony on the duty of water in the Carson river water su't, which has been in the federal court for nearly twenty years, was started today and will continue for several days.
