Fight Water Conservator Gives Advice on Drouth A survey of the drouth situation In Utah which was recently completed com-pleted shows that there exists a water shortage of culinary, Irrigation Irriga-tion and stock watering purposes, the like of which has never before been experienced In this state, reports re-ports Professor George D. Clyde, state water conservator. Instead of there being 25 to 30 per cent normal water supply as was indicated on April 1, the prospects pros-pects of water supply is from 15 to 25 per cent of normal and In most cases the water supply for irrigation irriga-tion and culinary and water stock preservations Is now exhausted. Professor Pro-fessor Clyde points out. The principle prin-ciple streams of the state with the exception of the Logan river are not discharging a normal late August Aug-ust flow. The extreme shortage of water, together with the long growing grow-ing season which has been brought about by the high temperatures, minimise the loss from percolation and evaporation. It Is recommended recommend-ed that the soil type on which the water is being applied be studied. Short runs and large streams are advised for sandy or gravelly soil and longer runs and small streams for the heavier soils. "Considerable water may be saved by repairing leaky headgates and ditch banks. Water cress, grass, and mons waste much water. Willows Will-ows and other water vegetation along ditches and canals consume (Considerable amounts of water. Clean ditches' and canals to con serve water. Avoid spreading the water over marshy areas because marshy vegetation is a heavy consumer con-sumer of water." "Probably one of the largest sources of loss of irrigation water Is due to lack of attendance", Professor Pro-fessor Clyde observes. "Constant attendance is necessary to prevent makes tt Impossible . to produce! waste, The streams should be main-f more than 35 per cent of the normal nor-mal crop production. To combat this situation with which the state tained sufficiently large to make It necessary for the irrigator to stay . crop- The situation with respect to ranges Is critical. Professor Clyde reports. Water holes and springs have dried up and although - In most cases where feed Is available, the absence of water makes It Impossible Im-possible to utilize such feeds. Stockmen Stock-men are urged to examine their ranges with the view of developing water, supplies . for . .stock , purposes In order that the stock may utilize the leed, :A fcj.jmany..cat ;today water Is being hauled on the ranges to provide for the stock. If water ing holes are not provided and the weather conditions continue, cattle and sheep will probably have to be driven off the ranges by July In many eases. There is little feed in the valleys for summer use and in many sections hay is being out Stockmen are urged to reduce their herds to conform to the pend ing shortage of feed. Such reduction reduc-tion of herd should be accomplished in an orderly manner. The dry farm sections ' of the state will mature very little grain this year. The dry land alfalfa sections sec-tions will not produce a cutting of hay. This, of course, means an acute shortage of facd and livestock. In light of the pending shortage, It is suggested that consideration be given to the thought that the dry and Irrigated farms that are now planted to grain which will not ma ture, be pastured off for feed. Alf alfa, on the areas where no water supply has been available, wiH produce pro-duce more by being pastured off than by attempting to produce Oldest Resident Celebrates Anniversary Mrs. Susan B.

Much water Is now being saved by repairing stream construction ditches, ditch-es, headgates, shortening the lengths of runs and preventing surface run off. Large streams and short runs I all produce," high productive value Is urged wherever possible. Lands on which the possibilities of producing a crop are remote should be aban doned for this season and the avail able water applied on lands which Culinary supplies should be watched very carefully, Professor Clyde advises. In many sections of the state culinary supplies are drawn from irrigation canals. Steps should b? taken In communities thus supplied to watch the possibil ities of developing either surface rurifl or springs to furnish addition al culinary water supplies. Cooperation among all users of water Is essential and necessary If a sufficient amount of crop Is to be produced this year to provide for livestock and to maintain the fam ilies In the rural communities," Pro fessor Clyde conclude. mi mm.
