The SCS reports that during the period of April J, to A I 1 $ r i. r L -t-- tie by J Maybe the reason advice is so cheap, is because there is so much of it. You probably wonder why we have a picture of a highway patrol car at the top of this column this week. Well, we didnt get a ticket cr anything like that. We didnt even get bawled out for breaking any laws. We just wanted to use this means of giving some of that free advice and a few suggestions. If you will look again at the picture of the patrol car, you will see that one of the tires is flat. In itself, this fact is not too startling, but we found that the patrol car was incapacitated for an evening, and into the next day, due to no fault of the patrolman, while steps were being taken to get the needed repairs. Although the car was parked at a service station, the attendant could not proceed to fix the flat without permission from higher authority than the patrolman. Now, the suggestion we would like to make, and perhaps we are out of line, is that in such cases the patrolman should have authority to keep his car in running condition. since it is an important part of our law' enforcement system in this area. As an example, during the time that the patrol car w'as out of commission, there were at least two accidents in the county which should have required the presence cf the highway patrol. True, they were not serious, but they could have been. We feel that the car should be on call at any time to perform regular duties as well as assist in case of an emergency. Weve stated the problem, made a couple of feeble suggestions as to what is needed so far as possible remedies, so we will drop it there. Anyway, we felt it worth airing. It has been wild that to err is human. But when the eraser wears out before the pencil, you're overdoing it. II yu hav ever had trubl speling, youl like the idea of Homer Wood of Porterville.

A1 Higgins, district game manager, and Joe Jeffs, game warden, were in the area last week to survey possibilities of the ride. They were able to go only a short distance through Straight Canyon, and found that the road was blocked in several places by huge boulders which had been loosened by the wet weather and rolled onto the roadway. The roadbed is also extremely watersoaked, and is slick and muddy. At the top of straight canyon, the ice barrier still exists, and as of April 1, were was nearly 16 inches of snow remaining in the lower Joes Valley area. An announcement will be made later as to when it will be possible to conduct the deer count.

Few boys reach this degree, however, because it is limited in membership (one out of 1000), and a boy must become established in farming. Kent Barton is the second boy to reach this goal in the history of the South Emery FFA chapter. At the recent State FFA Convention, Kent, along with Burke Johnson of Aurora, North Sanpete chapter, and Johnny Peterson of Fillmore, Millard Eagle chapter, were chosen to represent Utah for this degree. The degree will be received at the National FFA convention in Kansas City this fall. A boy has three years after he has graduated from high school to apply for the degree. Kent started as a Freshman at South Emery in the fall of 1951. During his high school years he was active in the South Emery chapter being on the parliamentary procedure team, chapter treasurer, attended the State conventions, and going on the major trips. He started his FFA projects with fat beef and had grand champions at the Southeastern Utah Junior Livestock Show at Ferron and at the Southern Utah Livestock Show at Cedar City. He also developed a small herd of purebred cows. He also completed farm improvement and better farm practice projects. For the past two winters Kent has attended the Utah State University, but recently, with his brother Jerald, has purchased their fathers farm and plans to spend full time in farming. Kent was recently married to the former Pat Jewkes of Orangeville. They both plan to attend the National Convention this fall when Kent receives the degree. . . . n, La-mo- turned.

In reporting these figures, how-ev- e r, it was pointed out that they are based on a minimum flow, m all probability, the flow will exceed these amounts, depending on the conditions during the, runoff i period. Although the estimated runoff on the Muddy river was not submitted, indications are that it too will be above average in the amounts of watei produced. Snow measurements on April 1, 1958 at Black Fork on the Muddy, showed 56.75 inches of snow with 17.95 inches of v uter, compared with 43.6 inches of sr.ow and 15.1 inches of water at this time last year. At Dills Camp, also on the Muddy, snow measured 59.3, with 19.2 inches of water, against 46.9 and 15.6, snow and water measurements a year ago. on the Ferron Measurements Creek at three different points, taken April 1, 1958, are as follows, with last years measurements in parenthesis: Wrigley Creek, 59.56 (36.7), 17.2 Rush Pond, 72.8 (53.1), 21.0 (17.8)- ; Buck Flats, 79.0 (57.4), 24.56 (11.9); (20.4). Measurements on the Cottonwood Creek drainage, also at three dlf-- ft rent points, were listed as follows Wilherg Ranch, 15.9 (6.5), 4.5 (1.8)- ; Upper Joes Valley, 44.25 (10.2), 13.87 (12.7)- - and Red Pine Ridge, 73.95 (62.0), 23.7 (23.3). In making the forecast of the proposed runoff of these streams, the SCS pointed out that Irrigation companies should make adequate ir.spc etion to be well assured their canals and ditches are adequate to handle this increased flow. : Livestock Ass'n.
