Beet Top::; Work w·en In Solving Problem Of Feed Shortages ''Beet tops should be used efficiently in the feeding of livestock in Utah because of the shortage of feed in many sections of the state and the necessity of using all available feeds to the best advantage in order to meet demands for wurtime food produc~ tion," I F Edwards, assistant professor of animal husbandry at Utah State Agricultural college, emphasizes. T o handle the beet tops satisfactorily. beets from several rows should be pulled and thrown together in a windrow, and the toppers should be careful to first remove the 2 rows on which the windrow is to be piled. Such piling allows for either curing in the field or hauling directly to the yards to be stacked or put .into a silo. · To estimate the yield of tops per acre. figure that each ton of beets produce about 2 j3 ton Of green tops, 1]3 ton of wilted tops, or 1 15 ton of dried tops. On the basis of these results a 15-ton yield of beets would be expected to produce 10 tons of green tops, 5 tons of wilted tops or 3 tons of dried tops. In storing the tops, gather them into small piles in the field for curing and later store adjacent to the feedyard in stacks or small piles and feed as dry tops.

Vote for Amendment No. 1 Modernizes Utah Courts tops may be ensiled jn a trench or upright silo or stacked with or without light layers of straws. Most des iruble of all methods in storing beet tops is a method derived through investigations at the Colorado AgricUltural Experiment station. Tops should be placed in a silo under favorable weather conditions. When stormy weather occurs during harvest and the tops are likely to be dirty, it is advisable to cure them in small piles and feed them later as dried tops. This allows the cattle or sheep to sort the soil from the tops, which is not possible when dirty tops are fed in the form of silage. Beet top silage, stored either in a silo or in stacks, and dried tops proved to be superior to green tops stacked with alternate layers of hay or straw. Recognizing the fact that voting on constitutional amendments ordinarily is light, the Utah Bar Association today impressed on voters of this area the neeessity of voting "Yes" on Amendment Number 1. This amendment empowers the Utah legislature to provide a new method in the state of selecting the district court and supreme court judges. M. C. Harris, Logan, president of the Utah Bar Association, presented the case for the amendment in this way: "This amendment seeks to remedy Utah's present system of selecting judges on partisan ballot during general election years. Let us take this election as a case in point. Although we are eleeting two justices for the Supreme Court and judges for our district courts, attention is centered Jargely on the presidential, the congressional and the gubernatorial candidates. The men seeking a place as judges, whether they are at present on the bench or seeking election to the bench, are receiving scant attention. nThe very nature of our judicial svstem demands full consideration of fitness and ability of our judges . . . a consideration not possible under the present Utah system. "The amendment Number 1 grants our legislature power to devise a new system for selecting judges. The amendment does nClt provide nor contemplate that judges be appointed. It does contemplate removal of seleetion of the judiciary from partisan political ballot." Mr. Harris pointed out that the amendment bas the endorsement of both the Republicans and the Democratic state platforms, and the endorsement of all candidates for state office, includbg Governor Herbert B. Maw and J. Bracken Lee, Republican candidate for Governor. GET READY FOR WINTER W e have a complete line of INSULATION BOARDS and WOOLS, STORM SASH and DOORS See Reg. or Pete Morrison-Merrill & Co.
