A small amount of the disease was found also near Chapman and near Manhattan, Kan. These are the only places where the disease was found this year. The department will begin experiments at once to find wheats resistant to this mosaic, as this has been the best method of combating the green mosaic of wheat occurring east of the Mississippi river. The wheat specialists cannot tell, as yet, where the disease came from, how it spreads, nor how rapidly It may increase. 40-acr- e Straight Furrows Many modern farm plowing imple- ments really contribute to soil erosion when they are used for straight rows over sloping fields, rather than making the rows follow the contours of the land. This was strikingly demonstrated on a Kansas field. With straight rows 70 per cent of a rain ran off, while with the rows following the contours of the slopes only 16 per cent of the rain ran off. To correct erosion conditions, a new cultivating machine has been developed which leaves the field in a pitted condition. The shovels of the machine alternately go up and down and each pit dug by the shovels holds about three gallons of water. This allows the water to soak into the ground, rather than run off. Well to Buy Early Just as a reminder, we will say to our readers this fall to buy their boars early, as a great many breeders have been making barrows out of their boars and will not have as many to sell the coming falL We know one breeder in southern Iowa who has made barrows out of all the boars he raised this year, and others that have retained only five and ten. The cattle breeders have in many instances made steers out of their bulls, and there will not be as many to sell this fall If you are going to be on the market for a boar or a bull, you had better buy early, as the crop is going to be shorter than usual Wallaces Farmer.

McCammon, neighborhood of IDA In 6600 tons of the beets -- will be produced in the McCammon district acreage under the control of the Amalgamated Sugar com ' pany, according to officials of the concern. PROVO, UT. It Is estimated that nearly 1,000,000 tons of beets will be harvested in Utah, more than 200,000 tons more than the 19 81 production figure. The average eugar content last year was approximately 17 per cent This year the eugar content Is higher and the crop will yield a greater return to the growers. SALT LAKE CITY, UT. Alfalfa seed production in Utah this year is estimated at 1,200,000 pounds, compared with 3,500,000 pounds last year, says a report issued by the federal statistician. Production for the entire country Is expected to be 40 per cent smaller than last year, but prices will be better and will make up a part of the loss. WALLACE, IDA.

The state road commission will open bids November 8 on the overhead crossing and approaches where the new federal highway entering Salt Lake from the west will cross the Western Pacific tracks, near the Silt county line.

LOGAN, UT. Cornish, a small in the northwestern community part of Cache county, believes 100 per cent in education. According to the report of the Cornish school principal the Cornish elementary schools have only one school child absent from a list of 136, and this is caused by illness. PROVO, UT.
