Two hundred fifty-six people sent in a vote and some of them for got to 'vote and just commented. In another column we have listed list-ed the voting according to the post marks on the ballots, and as many of the outlying towns, brought their 1)311013 to the Delta post office, Delta shows a very heavy vote. We conducted the poll primarily to get our readers to have a chance to express their views. We have found after more than 30 years in the newspaper business, that people like to let off steam, and some times very forcibly. As soon as they get it off, they seem to forget the whole thing and settle down to work. We hope this is the case and that we can now go about our business and slop this bickering between communities. com-munities. The voting was very interesting and we had no idea there was so much sentfment in favor of consolidation, con-solidation, nor that Supt, Maughan had the support he was shown. The total voting went: For consolidation of the Delta and Hinckley high schools, 237. Against consolidation 19. Approved the dismissal of Supt. Maughan, 34. Against dismissal of Supt. Maughan, 212. The results of the poll have been sent tt the Board of Education. Educa-tion. We want to thank those who sent in the ballots, and so promptly. prom-ptly. The comment was generally good and in another part of this issue we have printed some of it. There was so many comments that we quit trying to decide the best and printed what we could handle hand-le without asbestos gloves. Now let's all forget it and go fishing.

Here in West Millard Mill-ard we have one of the most productive prod-uctive areas for mosquitoes in the country. Our open drains, barrow pits, ditches, ponds and wasteland waste-land are all breeding grounds for this pest This costly mosquito is detrimental detri-mental to man and his farm animals. an-imals. Milk production is cut, beef cattle, calves and sheep fail to make normal growth, farm labor Is less efficient and hard to hold on the job, life in general becomes un pleasant and unhealthy all 'because 'be-cause of this insect, the mosquito.

The pupa (tumblers) that come from the larva can live only in water. 5. The adult coming from the pupa becomes a flying pest and a possible disease carrier. 6. The life cycle from egg to adult and the laying of more eggs may be completed in 10 days. 7. In this district as many as 10 broods are produced each year. 8. Only females bite, the male feeds on plant juices. 9. Adult females may live all summer. 10. Mosquitoes never hatch in lawns or srubbery, but use them only for shelter. 11.

The following article was submitted sub-mitted by a West Millard man who hold the opinion that the Delta Del-ta Firemen do an excellent job and their only pay is their own satisfaction and that of the public pub-lic in doing their job well. "To the Firemen: Not many years ago we would watch and worry when the fire siren sounded knowing that if we had a fire it might prove both costly and disastrous. dis-astrous. Then came the Delta Vol unteer Firemen and they handle fires so well that we just take them for granted. "These men get no pay except ex-cept the thanks you give, and they come night or day, whenever you need them. "A few weeks ago, while they were washing the Stock Show barn a bearing froze on the pump on the fire truck. "The firemen, with panicky looks, thought 'what if we have a fire, and no engine?' "Well, they would all have stay ed and worked, but there was room for only two men, so Fire Chief, Reed Wood and Brother, Wells Wood, spent the night in the middle of the fire engine. And along about 4 a.m. they were again ready for a fire. Still no pay involved. "Here is the highlight of the story. Along about midnight they discovered it would be necessary to make a special part on the lathe. "So they pulled Nate Abbott out of bed, and after a few hours, work he had built them a masterpiece. master-piece. "Well, Nate is not a fireman, so the only thing to do was to offer him some pay. You never saw a man so insulted. "He said, 'If I took pay I would have a guilty conscience. What if I should have a fire?'"

Machine Aids Farmers In Sugar Beets Sugar beets acreage is on the increase in-crease in the Delta area, and the mechanical thinner is doing most of the "stoop" work in the fields. According to Gene Peterson, field-man field-man for the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company, farmers have increased beet acreage 400 per cent over last year Although he realizes that much of this increase has been a result of farmers seeking security in contract crops, he attributes a substantial portion to the thinning thinn-ing machine. "The mechanical thinner shows great promise in helping to fully mechanize the beet growing industry," in-dustry," reported Mr. Peterson. "Many growers have pointed out that this machine.alone, has been responsible for for their planting sugar beets this year." Mr. Peterson said that some of the farmers of the area are using the machine for the second or third year, with this year giving many of them a completely machine-thinned job. The only hand labor needed with such successful success-ful operations is a crew to follow through with long-handled hoes to do some trimming and accomplish the first hoeing He said that many growers are reporting saving of $10 to $12 an acre by using the thinning machine. The mechanical thinner, using rotating cutter wheels, takes out the desired number of beet plants and eliminates many weeds when properly used Mr. Peterson said that with the mechanical harvesting harvest-ing of beets an accomplished fact and with mechanical thinning being be-ing developed, there'll be very few "backaches" to sugar beet growing.
