We suggest that you have two sprayers because when you use herbicides in a sprayer it is almost impossible to wash it clean of weed chemical. WE SUGGEST that you paint one red that you use only herbicides (or weed chemicals) in and the other one for insects or diseases only. If you should prefer to have only one sprayer it should be washed out thoroughly after each spraying, says Melvin S. USU horticulturist. Then before spraying the entire garden with the new chemical, spray a few indicaBur-ningha- 1 SUNSET PTA tor plants (those that are sensitive to weed chemicals). THE indicator plants may be tomatoes, grapes, any vine vegetable, roses, or boxelder tree shoots. Then wait two or three days to see if the leaves curl because of the weed chemical.

Most of those cars were heavy and powerful, Henry told the Automotive Information Council, but there are heavier and more powerful cars today that do a lot better on fuel economy and certainly provide far more performance.

GASOLINE mileage in cars of the near future will be better than today, partly because they will give up some weight.

If spending for these other factors should increase in the next decade at the same rate as it has during the past ten years, another $300 million would be added to school operating costs in Utah by the 1985-8- 6 school year. A large part of the financing problem for Utah schools in the next decade will be caused by an expected rise in school enrollments, according to the Foundation. Between the 1964-6- 5 and the 1974-7- 5 school years, average daily membership in the Utah schools rose by only 9 percent. All school programs must be carefully evaluated against the benefits received if Utah is to control educational costs and finance public school operating expendi- cost-of-livi- tures from present tax sources in the decade ahead. ' y (BosS Maintaining Used 1ITO5? Outboard Motors THIS WARNING was sounded by Utah Foundation, the private research organization, in their latest analysis of school expenditure trends in Utah. The report indicates that school operating costs in Utah will approach $1 billion a if present trends year by the continue. In addition to this outlook for substantially higher school operating expenditures, added amounts will be needed for capital outlay, debt service, and school mid-198- analysts say should be subject to closer legislative and administrative scrutiny. DURING THE next ten years school enrollments in Utah are expected to climb by 28 percent. This resumption of rapid growth in the Utah schools will add about $89 million to annual school operating costs over the next decade based on the present level of school finance. In addition to the increase in school operating costs resulting from enrollment growth, expenditures will tend to rise with changes in the price level. Over the past ten years the consumers price index rose at an average rate of about 5.2 percent per year. DURING THE past ten years, school operating expenditures in Utah rose by $167 million. Approximately $77 million, or 46 percent of the increase, was accounted for by inflation (i.e. the reduced purchasing power of the dollar) and $9.7 million, or 6 percent of the increase, was the result of increased school enrollment. DURING THE past few years, the inflation rate has been well above this average, although it has been declining somewhat in recent months. If the annual inflation rate in the next decade should average 5 percent, an additional $256 million per year would be needed by 1985-8- 6 to fund the present level of school services in Utah. lunch. According to the Foundation, much of the expected increase over the next ten years will be the result of enrollment growth and rising prices which are not controllable by state and local officials. A the projected increase, large part however, is based on past trends and therefore is subject to future discretof ionary decisions. It is this portion of the projected increase that Foundation ten-ye- Utah presently is spending about $315 million per year for school operations (1975-7- 6 estimate). The Foundation study indicates that this expenditure would more than treble by 1985-8- 6 if the spending trends of the past ten years are continued through the next decade. The Foundation study shows that $80.8 million, or 48 percent of the school ex- penditure rise between 1964-6- 5 and is attributable to a variety of factors, such as (1) increased retirement and fringe benefits for school employees, (2) reductions in the average class size. 1974-7- Itswis GfflunSu Go. b-SI- nss Zack Taylor, Boating Editor of Sports Afield, offers some thoughts on buying and maintaining a used outboard motor: HE SAYS, One of the best outboard buys is a last years model because dealers will mark these outboards down about 20 percent. This is especially true now because 1975 prices are about 20 percent up. Any outboard depreciates about 50 percent in value the first year and at a slower rate after that. All dealers have a Blue Book listing prices on all models and years, and most of them will gladly show it to you. If one dealer wont, find one who will. high-powere- d DONT BUY any outboard unless you can hear it run, preferrably on the boat under stress. If this is not possible, start the motor on land. Ten seconds of operation wont hurt it. Dont buy any outboard that has been used in salt water if you can help it. Salt can clog the cooling waterways.

SHORTNESS of breath after minor activity may follow. Those who have this combination should see a "steals, but WONT make any its according to Zack, safe to buy a used motor from a dealer who carries that brand. In other words, buy a Chrysler from a Chrysler dealer. Unless he stipulates that the sale is as is, hell give you a warranty in writing on parts and labor from 30 to 90 days depending on the age of the motor. BY ALL means test the while it is under warranty. If you ever machine fully have any problems with a dealer about outboards, go directly to the company, provided the motor is the brand the dealer carries. The companies love their dealers, but they love their customers more. Theyll see that you get satisfaction. New motors are usually warranted for one year covering parts and labor. But this is not transferrable.
