The movement to build a paved road between Nephi and the county line North of this city should rece ive the support of every forward look ing citizen of Juab County. The time is ripe for this county to wake up and get in line with progressive counties of central Utah. With such a road built to the Santaquin hill, there would only be a few miles between this city and Salt Lake, and a ride to the Capitol would then be a genuine pleasure trip.

The cost of building this road would not fall so heavy on the taxpayers as some may imagine, as Mr. Finch, the federal road agent who was here Monday, stated that the Government would furnish from 50 to 56 per cent of the cost from the federal aid fund. If it should be decided that the total distance of about 17 miles to the county line would be too big an undertaking this year, then cut the distance In two and build to Mona this Beason, but by all means let this county make a start on some definite and permanent road construction ogram.

MEET US FACE TO FACE In an experiment on' the improve ment of potatoes by hill selection which has been under way at the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station for nine years, an Increase in yield of one hundred bushels an acre has been secured, according to Prof- fessor Stewart author of a recent bulletin reporting the results of this ex periment. The work was begun in 1911 by Dr F. S. Harris, who is at present Director and Agronomist of the Station. In 1916 the work was taken over by Professor Stewart who has continued the work up to the present. When the wcrk was begun a number of the highest-yieldin- g hills were sel ected from the Majestic, Bangor, and Peerless varieties then being grown at the Station. Each hill was put in a separate paper bag and numbered. Q Q READ GOOD By 1915 just three years the selected strains yielded an average of 301.03 bushels to the acre as com pared with 179.3 bushels to the acre of the unselected. From 1915 to 1920 the selected strain has outyield- ed the unselected stock of the same variety by more than a hundred bus hels an acre, except in 1919 when there was a differenceo of only 29.6 bushels. The following year how ever, the selected strains again outyielded the unselected strain by 168.6 bushels. The small difference tn 1919 is attributed to the very poor In addition to a growing season. greater yield per acre the individual tubers have been larger, more uni form and more nearly free from disease. from an industrial standpoint. there will never be a better year to furnish employment than this year, and it will be a. long time before the citizens of this county who labor for their daily bread, will be In greater need of work than this year. The money that such improvement would bring into circulation in this section would be a veritable blessing to the county, during the present spell BEET INDUSTRY the many people in this are who saving wisely against the time community when the dollar will buy a full dollar's worth It The following year each hill was used to plant one row of potatoes. At har vest each year thereafter, each hill has been dug separately and the tubers placed In a paper bag with its proper number. During the winter each hill has been carefully weighed and the tubers counted and then returned to the bag or storage during the winter. From this data some of the best hills from the best rows and some of the better hills from the poorer rows were again selected for planting tie following year. This process has been continued for the last nine years, an unselected strain being grown each year for HIS TO MR.

"Now, my advice Is that each one of you scratch for yourself and let your neighbor alone, even If he or she has a larger worm than you have, for If you drop the one you have found someone will come along and eat It and tn the end you will be the loser." Mr. ItooRter strutted away feeling ttat he had done his family a great service and looking very Important and wise. All the fowl looked after him and no one moved until old Mrs. Hen said "I wonder If old Mr. Rooster really meant what be said: I never saw any of our family that would not grab a big worm when It had a chance, " and off she ran, followed by all the others, for they well knew that old Mrs. Hen knew Just where to look for the finest worms. Now, It happened the old Mr. Rooster saw them all running and he saw Mrs. Hen ahead, so he, too, ran to seo what was going on. When they reached Mrs. Hen sho wss pulling from the wet earth a very fine large worm and every hen and chicken da shod to her side, but befors anyone got a piece old Mr. Rooster flew over their heads with outspread and flapping wings. He landed right to tbe midst of the struggling fowl and before old Mrs. Hen could collect her wits Mr. Rooster had the big worm In his beak and was running away. Of course, no one saw him eat It and Inter all he said was that every time he saw a straggle he should take the worm, but he did not say what he should do with It "He ate It, my dears," said old Mrs. Hen. "I am sure of It, and he will take every one we find if be sees It, so better be csreTul." There wss no more quarreling among Mr. Rooster's Amlly after that, and as he walked around the yard he said to himself, "You hsve to us force when thpy will not listen to rea son, but that certainly was fine, plump worm." one-ha- lf New Spring Dress Goods Sec Our New Spring lines of Fancy Voils and Organdies the most popular fabrics this Season.
