Elgin Loss of 0 Per Cent Per Mile Shown By 1 Actual Tests Made Recent measurements made on the No. 3 city ditch, originally known as the McPherson ditch, of the Nephi Irrigation Company, indicate that serious water losses occur, according to Wilford Bellis-toPresident of the company. This study, conducted for the Bureau of Agricultural Economics by the Soil Conservation Service, shows approximately 31 per cent loss of water in 2.5 miles. This represents more than 10 per cent for each mile of ditch. Measurements were made at stations along the canal by means of Cippoletti weirs anda portable Parshall flume. Between stations No. 1, the intake of 'ditch No. 3 from the North City Main and station No. 6, 4 mile mile south of the McPherson farm, a distance of 2.5 miles, the loss was .53 cubic feed per second or 31 per cent of the total flow of 1.71 cubic feet per second recorded at Station No. 1. In twenty-fou- r hours this of water would cover more than one acre, a foot deep or would irrigate three or four acres of land. Since, in some instances, the length of ditches from the main diversion to the point of use is up to 3 miles, It is estimated that the loss runs near 35 per cent of the water. Measurements made In city ditches 1 and 2 showed a loss of 15 per cent in 6 blocks. Mr. Belliston states that the Nephi Irrigation Company should consider lining of the ditches to stop this loss of irrgation water. He points out that each cubic foot of water lost robs Juab County farmers of a certain amount of profit; each cubic foot of water saved and properly used results In larger yields, and consequently means greater returns to the farmer. Figures obtained at the ing station near the power plant show that Salt Creek has a total flow of 19,000 acre feet of water, which Is applied to about 7,500 acres of land. However, only 16 per cent of this water, or 3040 acre feet, comes during the critical months of July, August and Septof this water ember. If one-thiis lost by seepage, only 2,000 acre feet is left to cover the 7,500 acres of land during the most critical part of the year. The lining of irrigation canals and lateral ditches to conserve water for use on western irrigated farms is of great Importance to the Farm Defense Production program according to Ray Walker, Area Conservationist, Soil Conservation Service, Salt Lake City.

M. In the regular Relief Society Changes Are Advised In School Setup District Governor Jacob Coleman is Kiwanis Speaker The schools are training boys and girls for white collar jobs and do not teach them to meet the problems of life, declared Jacob Coleman, governor of the Utah-Idah- o Kiwanis District, in addressing the members of the Nephi Kiwanis club Monday noon at the Forrest Hotel. In his discussion Mr. Coleman declared that in view of the fact that only approximately 30 per cent of the high school graduates go to college and complete a course there, why should the colleges dictate the courses, for example, requiring algebra, when the average student cannot work an arithmetic problem? Why not more emphasis in spelling and grammar and the correct usage of words? Since this is a Democracy, why shouldnt students learn the art of by practicing it in school? Yes, and why not study a little United Sta'es history more? Talk with the average high schol student and see how little he knows about the history of our country. Why shouldn't speech be instead of a foreign language? Then too, in view of the fact that such a large per cent of our high school graduates marry after receiving a high school education why shouldn't they be given some training for the greatest profession of, all parenthood? Why should we devote nearly all of our physical education funds to the training of a football or basketball squad, and neglect the other students? Why should we glorify the athlete and not the debating team? The schools are not making an attempt to develop the defects,. in their physical condition. What corrective exercises are being taught to prevent round shoulders, crane necks, sunken chests, sway-back- s, protruding tummies, and bulging hips in later life? Good courses in art are being given, but what about the art of personal adornment Cosmetics are evidently here to stay. But instead of so many of the young ladies appearing grotesque in raw-benoses, colored lips, marsh-mallowhy should'nt this part of the toilet be done artistically? A course in salesmanship should be introduced in the business decom-pulsa- . . ef w partment, in - order that the large number of students who seek sales clerk positions in our stores might have some training for these jobs. The speaker also brought out the fact that there was not enough vocational training given In our schools in the defense program, men and women must now be trained in the various phases of vocational work to meet the needs in teh ever expanding defense industries. President J. Walter Paxman was in "charge of the meeting.
