IKKK1ATION \NI> RETIREMENT OF VAST AI RFARE CALLED DUST BOWL I l BE KANSAS CITY (UP) Walter B. Pitkin, educator, author and farm manager, sees irrigation, financed wih money saved from flood damage. as the “cure” for the dust bowl. Pitkin toured the drouth-stricken northwest, and formed the theory that irrigation throughout the Missouri valley and a chain of a thousand lakes along the river to trap flood waters is the solution. ^ “In a large part of the northwest, and parts of western Kansas Oklahoma and Texas, there a'e but two ■outs’ for tire farmer is he does not want to stay on his acreage and starve.” the author of “Life Begins at 40.“ said. “He must either move t > other sections or the government will have to pay him money to enable him to
exist.
“We arc in a state cf reorganization in this country The west must go in for irrigation, and put back the buffalo grass which was plowed under for big scale farming. “W'e have come to the end of big scale farming. Tla farm section of the west should hr located within a radius of four miles on each side of the rivers for easy irrigation. “Take Kansas City Mo., as an ex ample. From damage caused by floods by the Missouri and Kaw rivers enough would be saved for a vast irrigation system in the river valley north of Kansas City. “We as a nation must go in for farming on a smaller scale. In the irrigation country. 20 acres is a large
farm.”
Pitkin declared that he would tell audiences in his lectures that there 's now a chance to be agricultural pioneers, that vast regions of farm land can be substituted for the drouth area. “There are the rich, irrigated regions of the Columbia and Coulee rivers in the northwest,’’ he said. ‘There are fine irrigated sections in Colorado and northern California,
where they never have to worry about rain. “Ten millions of people could live on farms around Corpus Christi, Tex. I 1 think the Boulder Dam a great | project. There are vast acreages in the Gulf Coast country that can be I drained, improved, and changed into , rich farm country that will support a I vast farm population. “Year after year we go on having floods that cause damage, while if we took the same money spent on relief and used it to irrigate, we could end floods and grow fine crops. “It is so simple I can t for the life of me. see why wc haven’t done it i years ago.” i The author in recent years has had | experience in farm management, and j now operates 6,200 acres in New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. I’AKKING METERS SI I I ESSEEL OKLAHOMA CITY, (UP) Parking meters definitely have passed from the experimental to the success
stage.
The first meters in the United States were installed here on a tentative basis last July. In a year they have proved so eminently successful that their fame has spread around the world. The little device, invented by an Oklahoma City man. Carl C. Mcgce, is rolling revenue into the municipal
treasury at the rate of $6,000 a month. At least 60 other cities have installed meters or arc planning to do so. Hardly a day goes by that , queries do not come to the city hall regarding meters. They have come ' from such far away places as Iraq, Hawaii and South Africa. City officials accord the inanimate guardians of parking spaces an unqualified cheer. Not only are they popular with the city administration, but also with merchants and even citizens who pay. The Oklahoma City company marj keting the meters no longer has a j monopoly. Three other concerns are in the field. The meter in use here has proved j to he the most popular. It has been installed in a dozen cities and 50 , communities have sent representa1 lives to study it. Oklahoma City has ! 518 meters in use and plans to install more. Several times since the original installation the number has been boosted. At a nickel a deposit | motorists had deposited $39,540 in the machines up to June 1. Several improvements have been made in the mechanism. When a nHV torist deposits a coin now, it remains visible during the parking period. This makes it unsafe to start the clock-like mechanism with slugs. The latest improvement is an automatic indicator showing how
much parking time has elapsed. One company manufactures an attachment which permits multiple coin deposits, leaving a motorist free to park for whatever time he wishes.

Your Windows Windows are interesting, but are often quite a problem. We sometimes want them to let IN air or light. Sometimes we want them to keep OUT the air and light. Maybe wo want to look out through them or maybe wo don’t want others to see In. Or we may want the air or sun to come in without letting people look in. And wo always want the windows to look nice from the outside and from the inside. So it is quite a job for a woman to fix up all the windows in a house. She lias to figure on shades, panel curtains, drapes, ruffled curtains for bedrooms, awnings, anil Venetian blinds. We have given a good deal cf thought to this problem of planning windows. We should be glad to consult with you about your window problem.

Customer: That would be nice on hot days Salesman: It certainly is. They are better than awnings for this purpose. Customer: Are they <iuite expensive?

Customer: Could you come out ami give me me an estimate on blinds for my home? Salesman: Surely. When will it he most convenient to have us come{
