"Dude" Larsen Attacks Taxes in Delta GOP Talk "Utah's staggering tax rate has become frightening", Lewis H. (Dude) Larsen, Republican candidate candi-date for governor, told Millard County delegates at Hatch's City Cafe Wednesday night. Mr. Larsen states that taxes had risen almost 40 since 1955. Utah residents paid $50,000,000 more than five years ago. "And still", said the GOP hopeful, "the state spends $7,000,000 more than it collects col-lects in taxes each year". "The present administration tells us that our state is in fine financial shape but the record tells a different dif-ferent story," said Mr. Larsen. He said that he had discovered that residents of the State of Utah are getting alarmed at the new and rising taxes and tax rates. These must be halted, he continued. "With more state government efficiency, wiser spending programs and with new industries, we can stop the tax climb", asserted Mr. COUNTY AGENT'S CORNER- House Flies House flies are particularly numerous nu-merous in communities having livestock. live-stock. Frequent and regular removal remov-al and disposal of manure and garbage is essential to successful fly control. Good sanitation must be practiced to really hold down house fly breeding. Residual sprays of malathion, diazinon, ronnel and dipterex have been effective in localities where used adequately. These chemicals mixed with water and sugar are usually sprayed on the outsides of barns, chicken coops, over garbage cans, and about garbage areas. Spot spraying around the home yard also may be practiced, at the time spray is also used over small areas outside out-side the home where flies most commonly rest on walls, porch light cords, etc. Dry sugar baits have been helpful help-ful in fly control when scattered about the home. Dipterex commercial commer-cial bait, and home mixed diazinon, ronnel and malathion sugar baits are helpful when sprinkled frequently fre-quently over outdoor areas where flies congregate. Never contaminate livestock feed, or human food and water with any fly sprays, or with any other pest control poisons. ' Vegetable Insects With much of Utah's vegetable crop badly damaged by frost, there is an even greater need to control ve?etal)!e insects this year.

When interviewed today, N. S. Basseit, local secretary of the DELTA DEL-TA CANAL COMPANY and MELVILLE MEL-VILLE IRRIGATION COMPANY, sta-ed sta-ed that although the water situation situa-tion is critical, no dirriculty is anticipated an-ticipated in delivering the remaining remain-ing credits on the books on the four companies. He stated that the matter was one of availability and similar to a bank, explaining that all credits now outstanding could not be immediately im-mediately delivered, as sufficient time would be needed for the water to be made in the river. He stated that there was now approximately 10,500 acre feet of water in the storage reservoirs of the companies and that this should be more than adequate to satisfy immediate watering needs of the stockholders. He urged all stockholders of the four companies to use only the water wat-er which they immediately need, as more water could not be used than was available, explaining that the next twenty-five days would be the critical period and that a plan had been adopted by the four companies which would probably insure sufficient quantity of water to meet all normal demands of the stockholders. He concluded by stating that no Celebration Monday at Hinckley Was Great Entertainment for Everyone Clara Stewart i From the firing of the salute at dawn until the last record, spun by our own Ray Bishop, at the dance, July 24 celebration at Hinckley was a huge success. When we enjoy a day like that we should pause to give thanks to Hinckley Town Board at the head, the men who spend so many long hours getting the rodeo stock and preparing everything so that it goes off so perfectly, the M.I.A., who had the program in charge, the children's sports, the fellows who played ball in that hot sun, the boys who rode and roped the stock and got dragged in the dust, and last, but not least, all the people who built the beautiful floats to make the parade so lovely. Hinckley Primary received first prize in the parade for their float, Relief Society, second, and Sutherland Suther-land Primary, third, for the religious relig-ious division. In the commercial division, Days of the Old West was first, Morris Merc. Co., second, and Conoco Service, third. In the pioneer pio-neer group Deseret Ward took first place. Dana Pratt was master of ceremonies and made the announcements an-nouncements as the parade passed in review. The morning program was outstanding. out-standing.
