I What could a call into the Generals office at Hill Air Force Base mean? The call that Sherel Warwood of 164 Terrace Drive in Clearfield received from the General is something she would like to receive more often. After making a suggestion to the base that eventually saves the federal government $23,300 a year, Sherel received a cash award of $800. She was personally presented a special certificate signed by President Jimmy Carter from the General of the base. The special certificate is one of only six distributed among Hill Air Force Base employees since President Carter started shipment. Davis county produces over half of the states (approximately 2,000 acres) of onions. The urbanization pressure was also noted, where many farms have gone and other under to development. The Soil Conservation District and the ASC Committee felt this is a serious problem, but finding a feasible solution is difficult they say. The first stop of the tour was the Slaterville Diversion on the Weber River. Ralph Bateman, operator for Weber Basin, told the group how water can be diverted from this point into Willard Bay and later, when needed, pumped back into the West Layon or other canals. Water from the West Layton Canal can also be pumped into Davis and Weber Canal in Roy. The next stop was the W.R. White Pipe Company in Ogden. Those gathered were shown how wire is fabricated into reinforcing for concrete pipe, making concrete pipe, and onH rivptine of corrugated Bulk Rot US Postog PAID Clearfield potatoes, green beans, and sugar beets were viewed and discussed. Onions are now the only significant vegetable crop produced in Utah for Tour sheet metal into corrugated steel pipe. Much of the pipe from this plant is inused for irrigation pipe-lin- e stallations in the area. Seeing the pipe being made was an interesting point for the tour. The final stop of the tour was the W.R. White Orchards in Willard. The entire group enjoyed a luncheon topped off with fresh Bing cherries. The farm manager, Oscar Puckett, then showed part of the drip irrigation system. A single line about one half inch in diameter supplies water to each peach tree row. Rows are about 600 long and the trees about 18 feet apart. For young trees, only one emitter per tree is used. Mature trees have two emitters, one about 3 feet on each side of the tree trunk. The emitters deliver about one gallon of water per hour and the trees are watered for 12 hours every 2'2 - 3 days. This method is more than 5 times as efficient as furrow irrigation. A good filter system is required to keep emitters from plugging and lines must be installed with adequate slack to keep them from pulling apart when lines cool and contract. the program. Sherel works as a computer operator in the ACDPD division at Hill. In this programming section, one particular job she had was to run input through a computer that came out negative each day of the week. She suggested that the base run the computer only once a week instead of daily. The suggestion payed off, for both her and the federal government. Other OOMAs around the nation will probably soon incorporate the idea and that will earn Sherel some more dividends. I Higher productivity is vital to the social and economic well-beiof our Nation. Contributions such as you have made support my conviction that Federal personnel can play a major role in improving government service. ng I TOUR CROUP learns about drip irrigation from Oscar Puckett.

OSCAR PUCKETT, The Kiwanis Club of Clearfield spent the early hours of Friday, July 13 in pouring cement floors for two of the proposed four boweries at Kiwanis Park in Clearfield. 0.
