Califor-nia. Upon inspection Mr. Swenson has found several lots of tomatoes showing worm Injury and wishes to caution all individuals, stores, etc., who may find worm infested tomatoes, toma-toes, to destroy the same by burning or pouring boiling water on them. By all means do not throw them outside out-side as these worms will develop Into In-to moth and attach our tomato fields in Utah, which might mean inesti-matable inesti-matable loss to tomato growers In Utah county.

Call, Jr., Assistant County Agriculture Agent, Dr. B. L. Richards, Plant Pathologist Patholo-gist at the U. S. A. C, Experiment Station spent the day in Utah County Coun-ty with the Agricultural Agent looking look-ing over alfalfa diseases. , Among diseases studied, Alfalfa Bacterial Stem Blight was very prominent In some fields. Dr. Richards suggests this be cut immediately so as to give the second crop a chance to grow. The characteristics of the Stem Blight most anyone can tell. The alfalfa doesn't grow, it seems to go backwards Instead of forward. The leaves turn light yellow to a brownish brown-ish tinge and have a tendency to drop off. The stem sometimes within with-in two or three inches of the top turn a dark brown color and are very "U" Sociologist Studies Old-Age Dependency Here Salt Lake City A total of 346 Utah county residents 65 years of age and over received old-age pensions and 523 other Utah county residents over 65 received relief In forms other than old-age pensions in 1934, in addition addi-tion to those aged persons who were in the county infirmary, according to a thesis written by Miss Eliza-' beth Deuel, Salt Lake City, graduate student in sociology at the University Univer-sity of Utah. The thesis, "The Administration Ad-ministration of Public Old-Age Pensions Pen-sions in Utah," was prepared under the direction of Dr. Arthur L. Beeley, head of the sociology department at the state university; as a make-work FERA project. Although 6,487 Utah citizens 65 years of age and over are dependent, only 963 or 4.2 per cent receive as sistance in the form of old-age pen sions, according to the report. Counties Coun-ties which have active old-age pension pen-sion systems at present are Weber, Davis, Morgan, Salt Lake, Wasatch, Utah, Uintah, Sanpete, Grand, Beaver, Beav-er, and San Juan. Counties which have had pension systems at one time, but which have . abandoned them because of lack of iunds, are Juab, Millard, Piute, Washington, Garfield, Carbon, and Duchesne. The 11 other counties In the state have never had a system of old-age pensions, pen-sions, "In extent and amount of assistance assist-ance the present old-age pension Is obviously inadequate," the report states. "The average monthly pension pen-sion is only $7.43. The administra-i tion is not uniform. One person in the state receives the maximum amount of $25.00 a month and others receive as low as $3.00 a month. Undoubtedly Un-doubtedly there should be variations according to locality and individual circumstances, but It is apparent that if a person needs relief to the extent that he. can qualify for the pension, $3.00 Is certainly not a pen sion; It is a dole." Suggestions for improvement made by Miss Deuel include the passage of a state-wide mandatory old-age pension law, to which the county and the state would contribute equal amounts. She suggests that for the Meet a Gang of Reg'lar Fellers in the great comic strip appearing every week in tMs paper.

DON'T MISS A SINGLE EPISODE IN THE HILARIOUS LIFE OF THESE LOVABLE KID CHARACTERS Million Miles of Ford E Bald Eagle Is Branded as Coward, Thief, Dirty As a national emblem, the eagle is not peculiar to the United States. It is now the emblem of several countries, and was the principal device de-vice on the standards of some ancient an-cient nations. The eagle became the United States emblem when it was placed on the great seal adopted adopt-ed by the Continental congress, June 20, 1782. It was suggested as part of the seal by William Bar ton, a citizen of Philadelphia.

Collier's Weekly. o SOME have reported another out break of the Pale Western Cut Worm in the dry grain fields of Utah County. There is no satis factory ' method for the control of this pest- It doesn't come to the surface of the ground at night to feed as do other species of cut worms, therefore, a poison bait Isn't efective against it. The Pale Western cut worm Is a dry year pest and generally causes little or no damage In wet years. Nothing can be done to stop the damage of these pests during the season in which the damage Is being done. The only control that can be obtained ob-tained against them is to plow the field early and be sure It is well done. Plowing should be completed complet-ed as early as possible and then the land should be summer tilled as frequently as necessary to keep it free from all growth until about August 1. After this time the summer sum-mer fallow should be left untouched untouch-ed so that the surface crust which is formed after showers and rains will remain unbroken as much as possible until it is time to make a late planting of the wheat During the period from August 1, to September 15, is the approxi mate time during which the adult moth lay their eggs and they de sire soft loose soli in which to lay their eggs. If soil is crusted the moth will go elsewhere to deposit their eggs. They will also lay In the soil of stubble fields and that Is the reason why early plowing of the summer fallow ground should be made and kept clean during the summer. This destroys the young worms by burying them deeply and also by destroying their food- Mr. C- J. Sorenson of the U. S. A. C-, Experiment Station reports last summer and fall he found Cara- bld Beetles in great numbers over the cut worm infested area of Cedar Ce-dar Valley. These and some other natural enemies are quite beneficial In destroying the cut worms. Both the larvae and adult forms of the beetles destroy .cut worms. H V. SWENSON, Dlst- Agr.

Charle Thompson, secretary of congress, who modified the design, put the eagle as the central figure In the device, and specified that It should be an American eagle. Benjamin Franklin thought the eagle was too common for a national na-tional emblem. lie preferred the turkey, a peculiarly American bird. In a letter dated January 26, 1784, Franklin wrote to hla daughter: "For my part, I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the repre sentative of our country; he Is a bird of bad moral character; he does not get his living honestly; you may have seen him perched on some dead tree, where too lar.y to fish for himself, he watches the la bor "of the fish-hawk, and, when that dlllgeit bird has at length taken a Ash. and Is bearina It to his nest for the support of his mate and young ones, the bald eagle pursues him and takes It from hlra. With all this Injustice he Is never In good case; but, like those among men who live by sharping and robbing, rob-bing, he Is generally poor, and often very lousy. Besides, he Is a rank coward; the little kingbird, not bigger big-ger than a sparrow, attacks him boldly, and drives him out of the district" f 4m ft V V 1 I v i V v t " t ; ft l r - s i - X - , I t - ' ? j r j HELEN CLAIRE Is shown here In a dramatic moment in one f the Stories of the Black Chamber broadcast.

Goshawk Is Intelligent It Has Uncanny Instinct Strangely enoygh. it has bean found that birds of the Falcon fam ily, which Includes the Goshawk and other birds of prey, react more quickly to the Influence of kindness than any other species of bird. They possess a rare Intelligence and very highly developed sense organs. They have an uncanny Instinct for recalling old haunts and old friends even after a lapse of years and have a remarkable power of Individually Indi-vidually adapting their conduct to novel circumstances. Their In stinctive habits, once Interrupted, the average bird becomes flustered and helpless, but not so the hawk, he quickly adjusts his habits to the new conditions and cnrrles on. Possessing an Intelligence that makes him rank well up with the most sagacious of our domestic ant- ma pets, and -well above all other birds, it does seem a pity that his carnivorous habits are such as to make him so very unpopular. The Goshawk Is one of seven wild native birds that may be destroyed at any time for him there Is no closed season. Montreal Herald. Why I Favor Construction Con-struction of Deer Creek Project BY MARK ANDERSON Chairman, Deer Creek Committee of Provo Chamber of Commerce More miles. Faster miles. Greater economy . . . that is the story of the Ford V-8. There are conclusive figures fig-ures from owners to show that it is the most economical Ford car ever built. A particularly interesting and complete report of costs comes from a national fleet owner who has owned 854 Ford cars which have run more than thirty million miles in business use. . 175 were Model T Fords which were run 5.017.075 miles. 599 were Model A Ford cars which were run 24.041.632 miles. 80 are Ford V- 8 cars which have been run 2.982.886 miles. , This owner's cost records show that Ford V-8 cars cost 12 less to operate than the Model A Fords and 31 less than the Model T Fords. And they covered more mile3 per monthl The monthly average for the Model T Fords was 1509 miles. ... For the Model A Fords. 1868 miles. . . . And 2571 miles for the Ford V-8.

An Indian Duel More than a hundred years ago In Van Wert county; Ohio, occurred a strange duel to death by two young Indians.

So the two suitors agreed to fight It out. the survivor to get the glrL On a blanket spread on the ground the two braves seated themselves, their left hands tied behind their backs and a knife In their right They bad to keep on the blanket, and with the knife try to kill the other. Before the assembled tribe, with the brunette who caused It all seated seat-ed to the foreground, they spun nund and around, maneuvering for n advantageous position, each In ft I ting wounds on his adversary as the chance came. Soon both t were covered with wounds and bleeding, freely, but neither was able to wield fatal blow." Finally both fell from sheer exhaustion and loss of blood, and died. The expenditure of ten million dollars in federal money on the Deer Creek project will not only produce a temporary prosperity in this locali ty but will add considerably to the permanent income producing wealth of Utah. The Strawberry reclama tion project has already produced six times its total original cost and will go on producing for centuries to come. Water is the most essential factor in the further industrial and agricultural agri-cultural growth of our state. We have reached our limit of growth in the Great Basin unless we can better bet-ter conserve our water by more deep storage and add to the present available avail-able supply by a diversion of waters from other watersheds. The Deer Creek project will accomplish both of these objectives in a considerable measure. The obligation, the debt, must of course be kept in mind. Our oh ligation to the government in this case will however be quite different from the ordinary bond Indebted ness. We will have no Interest to pay and will be granted forty years in which to pay the principal The additional water Is worth consider amy more than it will cost under such a liberal credit plan. whether or not we believe in the gigantic public works program of the present administration we must agree that we will be doubly unfor tunate if we fail to secure a share of the benefits of these expenditures because there will be no escape from paying our share of the costs. If this money is not spent on the Deer Creek project It will be spent elsewhere. else-where. When the opportunity comes I will vote for the Deer Creek project. o Ohio Admitted to Union The principal reason for Ohio's admission to the Union in 1S03 was that three additional Democrat-Republican votfs were needed in the electoral colle;;e.
