APPar Lewis Flax, a pbnt with outstanding vigor and beauty, has been certified and released for the commercial market by the Soil the Idaho Conservation Service, Station, the Agricultural Experiment ' State of Utah Divbion of Wildlife Resources, and the Forest Service Forest and Range Intermountain Experiment Station. The rebase of the seed climaxes cooperative research and development of a strain of Lewb flax brought to the Intermountain area from the Black Hills region of South Dakota. Twenty-fiv- e years ago, A. 'Perry Plummer,' former Range Scientist with the Intermountain Station, located the plant in the badbnds area of South Dakota, and brought several plants back to Utah for testing. During the next several years, Plummer and cooperating scientists of the Utah Divbion of Wildlife Resources tested the pbnt on small plots at the research nursery at Ephraim. About 1965, personnel of .the Soil Conservation Service offered to test the pbnt on a brge scale at the Pbnts Materials Center, Aberdeen, Idaho. Scientists say APPar Lewb Flax grows extremely well in the Intermountain region. Deer and livestock feed on it, particubrly in the spring; and birds eat the seed and capsules in autumn and winter. The pbnt b recommended for use in rangebnd seeding programs and for revegetating mines polls and highway rights-of-waHome gardeners will apprecbte the plants long flowering period, and the deep blue color of the flowers. Plummer says, Lewb flax b especially well suited for rock gardens where tidier pbnts might be desired. The flax ranges from less than 12 inches to 86 inches high. Charbs.G. Howard, Manager of the ration Service Aberdeen sb Center,' says, Thb rewarding cooperative iild lead to more pbnts sbfo. snds for A. Perry the scientist who honotyng Plummer, brought the special strain of Lewb Ar" identifies the flax .to Utah. Aberdeen Research Center that officially released the seed. Foundation seed for APPar Lewb Fbx b avaibble from the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station, Aberdeen, and through Soil Conservation Districts in Idaho, Nevada, and Utah. Breeders' seed will be maintained at The Utah Department of Trans-- ' portation opened bids last week on a project to replace two bridges which span Red Creek in Duchesne County. The bridges, which are situated mib apart, are' approximately located - on a county road about miles west of Duchesne twenty-fou- r and four miles south of U.S. 4Q. The apparent bw bid of $112,870 was turned in by L.C. Nelson one-ha- Construction Company, Provo. The official engineers estimate for the. work was $175,515. Both of the exbting bridges are too 12 feet wide,1 and are , narrow, only structurally inadequate. The approach to the first bridge from the north b on a' rather steep grade and the slight' distance is very limited. The southern bridge b hydraulically inadequate and cannot handb high flows of water. Pbns call for repbeing the wooden bridge on the north with a multipbte arch pipe structure over which four feet of fill material will be and one-ha- lf placed. The fill material will be obtained from the top of the hill just north of the bridge which will improve the sight distance and the grade of the road approaching the bridge. The new structure will have a roadway width of thirty feet and will safely handb two-wa- y traffic. Guardrail will be placed on both sides of the structure. The existing south structure b a steel bridge with a wooden deck with no guardrail It will be replaced with a prestressed concrete beam structure which will have a longer span and a higher vertical clearance to accommodate higher water flows. The new bridge will be 30 feet wide with a concrete parapet on both sides. During construction, temporary culverts will be installed downstream from both bridges to divert traffic around the construction sites. The contract allows 120 working days for completion. ' These bridges are being replaced Tax refunds are now available 65 or a widow . - after Jan. lf , with 80 percent Federal participation and 20 percent local matching funds, being provided by Duchesne County. UDOT b providing contract administration because Federal funds are involved, but Duchesne County and its consulting engineer will have primary jurisdiction over the project.

I asarsa . tial. don't believe that we can expect our teachers to keep performing their tasks of teaching our children without equipment or supplies. And yet with school department budgets being cut from last year, the school district has chosen to maintain a staff of construction oriented people and equipment, such as: backhoes, operators, electricians, and probably others we are not aware of. I don't feel that the school district should be in the business of construction or be competing against the people they collect taxes from. I feel this money. should be spent in educating our children, not creating and maintaining bureaucracy.
