Show WEEKLY .WEEDS INCREASE ON UTAH FARMS SAYS EXPERT "We have been fighting weeds for a long time, and yet oiyr noxious weed patches continue to increase in both size and number, Professor J. C. Hogenson, extension agronomist of the USAC extension serivee observes. The time and pplaee to begin to fight weeds is at planting time and with the seed selected for plant ing. Many farmers plant more weed seeds with their crops than they can possibly destroy thru their g processes, Pro, fessor Hogenson points out. lies The solution to tho probleni eventually only in the, planting of . , good clean seed. , Farmers in the northern section of Utah bought alfalfa Beed from a trucker because they. could buy it from him for 25c per hundred pounds cheaper than they could purchase it elsewhere. Most of tho farmers planted this seed without giving a thought to its purity. One farmer, however, after 'examining the seed realized that it did not look just right, so he called tho county agent. The co'unty agent found that this particular lot. of alfalfa seed had from 90 to 120 white top and wild morning &lory seeds per pound or enough to plant from 1300 to 1800 noxious weeds seeds on every acre of ground where this Becd was planted. These farmers saved a few dimes by purchasing this cheqp seed blit they have lost hundreds of dollars through the decreased value of future crops and have made for themselves and their posterity an almost endless job of ridding their farms of the weed menace. weed-killin- . Interesting And Unusual Facts It is estimated that the annual sale of prepared dog food in the country totaled last year $40,000,. 000. The White Motor company, manu faeturers of White motor cars and trucks lost $13,000,000 in the five years, At the end of the last fiscal year ,the Frinceton Athletic association of. Princeton university showed a deficit of $177,390. ,1. The thoroughbred race horse Bun Beau earned $376,744 In five years racing. Only five other horses have earned more than $300,000. Not many over 100 American horses have earned more than $100, 1930-103- 4, . " 000. One of the smallest horses fun. sing on tho American tracks is Top Row who weighs but 950 lbs. Last year Top Row won nine races, finished second twice and was third four times. Recently Top Row won in one week $104,600 In prizes, and at Santa Anita, California a few weeks ago before 50,000 spectators Top Row won $100,995, making a total of $211,595 earnings. Top Row Is owned by Bert Baroni of Reno, Nevada, who purchased him in 1934 for $3,500 when. was a tbreo year old.

The Kansas City station telegraphed that the illegal butter was en route to Chicago by truck. Analysis showed the butterfat to range from 76.66 percent to 79.35 per cent. After the seizure, the owners ob tained a court order permitting them to rework the butter to comply with, the standard. Before grant ing this order, the court required the owners to admit the butter was illegal and o post a bond guaran teeing it would be reworked under supervision of the Food and Drug ! Administration and would not be disposed of contrary to pprovislons Rejiof of the act.

Surely the government can not continuo to pay vast sums for such a program indefinitely, and when cease payments for it is inevitable that the land temporarily loft idlo, and improved through the. soil conservation plan, will again be cultivated, with tho result that surplus crops greater than ever before will be produced; To an unbiased observer the don. elusion is inescapable that the long range effects of the new plan will be more harmful than beneficial to the farmers themselves. The of the plan, if any, will be tho politicians, who are willing to adopt any temporary expedient, however unbound, in the hope, of capturing the farm vote. . False Safety Schemes IIow misguided zeal for .a worthy cause may defeat ita purpose is illustrated by he display of "safety posters on billbbards along New Jersey highways. The design of these posters is described as "striking and even gruesome, tend ing to divert the attention of drivers and cause the very accidents which they are intended to prevent. A protest agains their use has been made by the National Council for tho Protection of Roadsldo Beauty, which says: "The menace of the roadside billboard through distraction of attention, as well as through obstruction of vision, is no mere clubwomens notion, but may be a contributing cause to accidents. Commenting on the same matter the New York Sun says: "There ore less objectionable ways of presenting a striking safety message to motorists. New Jerseys sanction of distracting roadside signs will weaken the fight of the states civic organization against the billboards blight.

Seek Facts Annual Catch of Fur Animals Fur animals, a valuable natural resource of this country, &ut sadly neglected- and atrociously wasted, should be considered in establishing policies for land management, says Frank G. Ashbrook, of the Biological Survey, United- States Department of Agriculture. The annual turn-ove- r in the retail fur trade, Ashbrook points out has shrunk from $500,000,000 in 1929 to $150,000,000. a shrinkage that cannot be attributed wholly to drought, floods, and financial de. pfession. It results in part from an actual scarcity of fur animals. To vvhat extent this is due to overtrapping and failure to preserve natural habitat is not definitely known. "We estimate, says Ashbrook, "that 13,000,000 muskrats are trapped annually, but unfortunately we do not know how many are being produced. The number may be 10,000,000 which would mean rapid extermination. It may be 15,000,-00- - 0, which would mean a continuing supply, We have, no reliable facts for the country as a whole, but good business management of the fur bearers would- require something similar to a .balance sheet that would reveal, the kill and the replacements. The Biological survey; therefore, has encouraged state game agencies issuing trapping licenses to obtain laws requiring reports of trap, pers, so that the individual states might calculate the number and kinds of fur animals taken annual take in the whole country. Seven states now require trappers to report their catch and 19 gather information from various sources. The Biological Survey compiles such figures as are available on the number of trappers and the number of fur animals taken in the various states.
