H. Stewart. county agricultural agent. Because of exceptionally high yields, the tomato crop of Box Elder county last year atracted considerable attention. The county agent rey;)rts that the total acreage of the Perry Canning com· pany, which operates in the county, for the season of 1925 was 173 acres, with a total tomato production of 2670 tons, or average of 15.43 tons to the acre. This production brought the growers a total of $31,994.58, an average of $185 per acre. -an Ogden.-Receipts in the sheep divi· sion at the Ogden Union stockyards Monday passed the 50,000 mark for the month to date, which presages an unusually heavy traffic in spring lambs, in the opinion of L.

Ogden.-The city board of education has authorized the construction of a new school building to cost $70,000, the first unit of what will eventually be a large structure. It will have eight classrooms, with a combination auditorium and<f!:ymnasium. It will be erected on Park avenue, between Twenty-sixth and Twenty · seventh streets. l I Salt Lake City.-Wlth a loud but brief bombardment of thunder, a grate· ful and cooling rainstorm swept over Salt Lake Valley last Thursday. ThP storm was the cause of much rejoicing among farmers, whose crops were beginning to show a need for moisture. I l I HE you fnmlllar with the out· standing figures in the history o~. the human race? How large Is your knowledge of the outstand· ing facts of present-day civilization 7 Here's an opportunity to test yourse\f on these questions. Fol· lowing is a questionnaire presented to one hundred students representing four college years in a large American university. About one-third of the number were third or fourth year students. There were seven foreigners in the group. The test was given toward the end of the college year, with the work o:t: the second semester nearing completion. "It mlght well have been assumed that the college- study in English, history, matl1emutlcs, the languages and the sciences, should have refreshed the memory in regard to many of the leading points in the questionnaire," says the originator of the test wrl ting in a spec! al educational number of the New Republic. The article disclo~ed neither the identity of the writer nor, for reasons which can only be guessed at, the name of the university. Riekenb aeker Salt Lake City.-ln spite of the need of rain in most localities throughout the state the crops are reported to be in excellent condition according to Frank Andrews, federal agricultural I statistician. The winter wheat acre· age is estimated at 149,999 acres from which $2,731,000 bushels are ex· pected to be harvested. The acreage this year is 5000 acres larger than 1925. An estimated yield of 52,000 bushels of rye are expected to be har· vested from the 50(}0 acres planted. . • "There were sixty questions In the list originally given," he continues. "The highest grade, 98 per cent, was made by a student of Slavic descent, twenty-two years old. The sef'ond rank, 97 per cent, was made by a more mature Russian. The highest grade made by a native American was 89 per cent; the lowest JO per cent. "It may be asked what is the purpose of such a questionnaire. Do the answers indicate with any degree of certainty the trend of thought of the modern college student, or justify. our di·awing any definite cone! usions? First, the results seem to emphasize the current belief that a majority of young people go to college today for a diploma. . . . The memorizing of facts seems important insofar as it brings about this end. They are as quickly forgotten, and leave no lasting impression. In the modern college life there is no time for metlltatlon; no time for assimilation or digestion. Students hurry to their classes and hurry away; the car facllltates their departure. An hour of jnz, a movie, or a whirl to the next town assists in eradicating any lm· pression which may have been received in the classroom." How many of these questions can you answer? Any good dictionary ought to provide most of the answers against which you can check your replies. Mt. Pleasant.-Work was started Monday on a ground squirrel poisoning campaign by farmers and range land owners in tllis vicinity. The area to be poisoned cover13 approximately three townships, beginning south and east of Spring City, covering a strip of valley and mountain land about six miles wide and extending north elgh teen miles to what is known as Crooked Creek. This area comprises neady 70,000 acres of land. In places where squirrels are prevalent, some joggs will extend down into valley lands and fields. Reasons :why you will prefer a Rickenbacker-6 or 8 The Riekenbacker is thoroughly modem, for incor· porated in its design are all the latest engineering refinements. Best quality of materials only, used throughout the construction of motor, chassis and body. The best quality of interior fittings, hardware IIUld upholstering is used in all Rickenbacker models. Best ~de of Spanish leathet'-c1sed in open modela and be~t grade of silk mohair used in all closed models. The Rickenbacker is one of the most distinillishe<l and most beautiful cars on the road. As a performer it is in a class by itself. The model you select will have a chassis identically in construction and material with that used by Cannon Ball Baker when he made such a long list of road records last year. Rieken backer control system is so simple, so easily operated that women find these cars deli&htful for their use. Rickenbacker steering is positive, and the car steers without the slightest effort on the part of the driver. Rickenbacker roads so well, steers so ea51ily, and rides so comfortably that the car drives all day without the slightest evidence or feeling of fatigue.
