vcrmary. your attention is directed I to the aims and accomplishments of this camp.) Throughout the rich agricultural | lands of thto mid-west, drainage , , maintenance has been sadly neglected during the last few years. . Farm ditches constructed at great expense to the land owners, have , been allowed to choke up with underbrush and till up with silt, largely because of the lack of funds with which to clean and remit them. Many farms and farmers are slowly but surely being ruin- , ed by lack of adequate drainage. In many localities the fertile top soil of the high area is being gradually washed away in our creeks and rivers, while the lowlands have become so saturated as to be unlit for cultivation. This situation, it allowed to continue, will result in tremendous damage affecting the entire country. For this reason, as a part of the national conservation program, it was deemed advisable to allocate a number of CCC camps to farm 'drainage maintenance. These drainage camps under the supervision of the Bureau of Agricultural Engineering, were so located as Ito serve those agricultural districts which were most dependent I upon good drainage. The work is limited to the repair of reconstru< ■ tion of public ditches, both open and tiled. It is purely a co-oper-ative program, the character ami' I extent of the work done depending, i largely upon the kind and amount lof help received. It is also design ed to educate the farmer in drainJ age maintenance, and to stimulate ! his interest in good drainage, thus paving the way for more construe- ■ tive work to follow. As a part of this program. I Camp D-2, Indiana, was located' about four miles northwest of Fort! Wayne. The area served by this camp covers approximately 2,.50u square miles, comprising all or a | large portion of seven counties iu ' 1 northeastern Indiana. At leastl ! 90% of this area is good farming i land and almost all of it is under I cultivation. The rainfall averages [three inches per month and is well .distributed throughout the year. I The topography is for the most part a gently rolling prairie drain-1 ed by eight large streams so that [ the farm ditches, while not so! i large, are very numerous, there! j being in excess of 5,000 miles of i open county ditches, ami nearly I 2.000 miles of county tile drains, j : in addition to many miles of nat- [ ■ural channels, within reach of the I camp site. In fact most of the I county ditches are natural streams 1 that Ithve been widened and deep ened, because the natural drainage ! proved to be insufficient, and drain ! age construction was necessary for good farming conditions. Drain ■ I age maintenance is particularly 1 I needful in this locality, for within i the last few years many valuable* | farms have been practically aband .

— poor condition of the uitciies. The camp was occupied in Aug-1 list, 1935, by a company of boys, j most of whom were from the hills of southern Kentucky. They were for the most part untrained in any sort of construction work, so that[ when the work program commenced in September, they hail to be taught to do almost everything. They worked hard and Improved wonderfully, and have really accomplished a remarkable amount of useful work. The number of enrollees available for work has averaged about 130 each day for Hi) work days from September 3, 1935, to March 31, 193t>, not counting eight working days lost iu January and February. Since the middle of October, the field working conditions have been had because of abnormal weather conditions. A unusually wet, cold fall was followed by the severest winter ever known iu these parts, sending the frost to unprecedented depths. So that, after the weather moderated in the latter part of February, excavation was extremely difilcul for many weeks. At the start of the work program. it was accessary to do considerable preliminary work in advance of the more permanent work. After re. ivittg petitions for maintenance, each ditch had to be cleared of brush, surveyed, plans and estimates made, and re- ( ports submitted before excavation icould be started. Therefore, the bau weather of the last fall caught lus before much headway could be made. When winter set in, we turned our attention to tile repairs, and were making splendid progress, when the sub-zero weathier stopped all digging for almost six weeks. In the face of these physical I handicaps, these Isiys. working in all kinds of weathter, in water, mud, ice, sleet, and snow have I cleared 1,309,204 sq. yds., of brush , and debris from 104 miles of ditches. removed 26,990 cu. yds., of silt from 17 miles of open ditches, repai erd mtii ro etaoin shrdlu TH II paired six miles of tile drains, and have built or repaired numerous drainage structures. This work has been well distributed throughlout the seven counties in this dis- ! trict and has been of direct bene- ! fit to 97.038 acres of fine farm laud. The value of this work, while difficult to estimate in dollars and i cents, is easily worth from three !to four times its actual cost. An i evidence of the farmer's approval I of this work, is the fact they have : willingly contributed $5,990 worth *of co-operation in materials and ' services, besides helping in many other ways. in Hie performance of the work, the boys have found that it is not ■all drudgery. Besides learning to ' know, use, and care for most of i the tools commonly used in construction work, they have acquit--1 ed a working knowledge of a large number of valuable trades, includ--1 ing tractor operation, drag line operation, use of slip-scrapers, and I graders, concrete and masonry j < oustruetion, tile laying, surveying, drafting, carpentry, tool repairing, truck driving, aud many others. As tin- work progresses they bei wne more proficient, more interested. and more self-reliant. Competition brings out their best es- , torts and promotes pride in accomplishment. Many of them possess qualities and abilities i which would never develop iu any other way. Hence, this work, besides being valuable in itself, is -character-building, and. by provid-, ing definite objectives, will undoubtedly enable many boys to become useful citizens.

The messages said the Italian command had made arrangements for the reporters to witness the occupation from the heights outside the eapita.l. The messages said the Italians were nearing Debra Birean. Ankober and Litre, indicating they were not more than 50 miles from Addis Ababa. A dispatch to the newspaper El Tevere from Djibouti said the Addis Ababa radio station had been silent for several hours. The dispatch construed this as, indicating that the fall of the capital was imminent or possibly that a small Italian advajtce patrol already had reached the city. Il Tevere's dispatch from Djibouti —a notorious source of inaccurate information since the start of the war — said radio stations there had repeatedly tried to make contact with Addis Ababa without result since last night. Rome stations, however, said Addis Ababa was still broadcasting in English as late as 1:30 p. m. today. , i (The United Press received dispatches from Addin Ababa timed this
