It's reported that the "poor attendance" at school plays, etc., is because the folks sitting on the level floor can't see over the heads in front of 'em. We're in favor of any Improvements we can get in our school plants, but can't help but remember the same cry "poor attendance" was given as the reason for needing an acoustic enginereing job at Beaver a few years ago. Since then both the Beaver and Milford auditoriums r from an have had a acoustic Standpoint, and they've been materially Improved. We believe the school board should be beginning to plan for new buildings modern plants to house the children of our county during school hours. And it might be a smart move to conschool sider one centrally-locateplant to serve the entire county. THREE-DA- Y IRRIGATION CELEBRATION bnn collected in the current irrigation ditches later in the said Grant M. Esplin, Beaver County Agent. "A new chemical called C. M. U. is a white powder which combines with the soil when he soil is treated at the rate of 100 lbs per acre. It will completely sterilize the soil for two or three years." C M U is to animals, the county agent said. If you 'have a small area of perennial weeas or a ancn or pona mat is particularly troublesome with weeds, here is a method to eliminate them: The ditch or troublesome spot should be treated very early so as to allow the C. M. U. to combine with the soil before the water is put in the ditch or pond. Be careful of ornamental or shade trees. This material will kill all plants in the area treated, including quack grass, trees, annual and perrenial weed.

Death losses at calving time among young and weak he'fers may be high and costly. Range cattle which have not had access to green feed for several months may suffer from shortages of nutrients. Thin heifers and calves may have already robbed their own body tissues of vital elements to obtain life sustaining proteins and minerals until they are too weak to undergo the calving ordeal Calves may come dead or may live only a day or so after birth if a severe shortage of Vitamin A exists in the cows' feed. Many heifers die at calving time not because the calves are too large, but because the heifers are feeble and weak and don't have enough strength and energy to live through it. Losses can be reduced and calf crop and calf weights increased by feeding (1) steamed bone-me- for phosphorous, al so essential to life, (2) protein rich supplements to build strength and health, and (3) two or three pounds of bright hay daily to provide carotine which supplies Vitamin A, without which calves cannot live. well-cure- d 4 Utah. tlUwa M twxnctis ?
