UTAH I News Notes j t OUR COMIC SECTION It's a Privilege to Live In $ UTAH j I ROUGHAGE USEFUL IN DAIRY RATION Events in the Lives of Little Men Limited Grain Feed Found to Be Most Profitable. (Prepared by the United State Department of Agriculture.) Many dairymen, in their effort to Increase the production per cow, have acquired the habit of feeding too much concentrated grain feed, say O. E. Reed, chief of the bureau of dairy Industry of the United State Department of Agriculture,. More net profit per cor can be made under some conditions, he says, by feeding a limited grain ration or even a roughage ration In preference to a ration. To demonstrate this statement, Mr. Reed dtps the results of an experiment by the bureau at Huntley, Mont In this experiment three plans of feeding were compared. Ten cows were fed over a three-yea- r period on each of the following rations: For one year (1) roughage alone, consisting of corn silage, roots, alfalfa hay, and Irrigated pasture; for another year (2) the same roughages and a limited grain ration of one pound of grain mixture to each of six pounds of milk produced; and for still another year (3) the same roughages and a full grain ration of one pound of grain to each three pounds of milk produced. On the first ration, when production was figured to maturity, the cows averaged 478 pounds of butter-fat- , on the second ration 584.1 pounds, and on the third 619.9 pounds. At the prevailing prices for feed and for milk and butterfat, the returns over cost of feed were $161 per cow on the first ration, $185 on the second, and $132 on the third. The limited grain ration was therefore the most profitable, with the roughage ration a close full-grai- n FINNEY OF THE FORCE Pathos John A second. LAYTON Utah has 440,000 acres of irrigated alfalfa and 60,000 not Irrigated, making a total of half a mil- lion. DUCHESNE Seed was harvested In Utah In 1928 from 73,000 acres; 62.000 in 1924, and 13,000 acres in 1919. HEBER CITY Harvest acreage of all crops In Utah In 1928 was esti0 mated at 1,150,000 acres, of which acres were Irrigated and 280,000 produced crops without irrigation. KAYSVILLE Utah ranked third among the states In the average yield per acre of onions in 1928; Its average that year was 475 bushels per acre. The average yield in the United States was 246. A statewide pool MT.. PLEASANT for wool, as distinct from range wool. Is the plan set In motion at a meeting here recently at which representatives of farm wool pools In four counties were present to the number of 24. MYTON The business men of My-toIn conjunction with the sheepmen who are members of the Antelope Sheep Shearing association, are formulating plans and raising money to construct a more direct road to Hanks Ferry by way of the South Myton bench. This point Is used crossing the Green river, and if this project is completed it will save several miles of extra travel. BRIGHTON Ten Inches of new snow fell recently on the city watershed at Brighton, thus bringing the total stand of snow now on the watershed up to 81 inches, according to a report received here at the office of H. K. Burton, superintendent of waterworks. The stand is considerably above that which was on the watershed last year at the corresponding period. A representative of DraVERNAL per & Co., Boston wool buyers, has cents per pound purchased at 32 60.000 fleeces from John Reader and 65.000 fleeces from Witbeck Brothers and Witbeck & Spiers at the same price. The Reader flocks have not been sheared as yet but the sheep of the other flockmasters named are now being sheared at the Watson shearing plant. All the fleeces will average eight pounds, and the wool Is contracted for June delivery at Watson. GUNNISON On the Mantl forest this years program of water development projects totals approximately $1400, and about $1600 will be expended In the construction of boundary and other fences. The funds for these improvements are taken from the grazing fees and must not exceed 10 per cent of the total grazing fees for the year. In selecting these range improvement projects care is taken to distribute them over all parts of the forest where they will benefit the largest number of grazing users. MYTON Horace W. Sheeley, water commlreloner named by the federal court for the Uintah basin, has reappointed Clarke C. Shaw as deputy commissioner for the Lake Fort river and its tributaries, and Loren Cloward as deputy commissioner for the Uintah river and its tributaries Decrees of Federal Judge Tillman D. Johnson direct the regulation of these streams. They irrigate 49,000 acres under ditches constructed by the department of the interior for the Indians and 87,000 acres irrigated by white families. COALVILLE Placing of gravel on the Lincoln highway from Wanship to the beginning of the new road around Echo reservoir was started this week by the Utah state road commission with a crew of twenty men and several teams employed. As soon as the gravel placing is finished, oiling of the road from the Chalk Creek bridge at Coalville to the Intersection with the Silver Creek, canyon road will begin. The work of oiling from Echo to Baskin, in Echo canyon, will be started at the eame time. UTAH State highway funds totaling $142,661.01 were distributed during the month of April, according to a report from the state auditors department. The money was apportioned as follows: Highway equipment, office expenses, $556.75; travel, Sus$784.78; and salaries, $3S96.79. pense Is listed at $313.69.

PROVO To the sheepmen, the rains which began as a blessing to the flocks on the desert have turned to a menace and a curse, according to members of the Jericho clip, at least. Arrangements were made for the Jericho shearing season to begin on April 12, but conditions made it necessary for the opening date to be changed first to April 14 and then to April IS, Only two herds had been shorn when heavy rains caused the work to stop and the herds to be turned on to the range again. All of the shearers, after seeing that the rains were to be extensive, returned to their homes. 870,-00- farm-grow- n TYOCTORS quite approve the quick comfort of Bayer Aspirin.

Improper adjustment and lack of care on the part of the operators cause most of the losses. Testers In dairy herd Improvement associations of 30 states find the loss from poor skimming one of the most serious problems of the industry. Out of 30 typical cream separators recently checked by testers, only three were wasting less than $20 worth of butterfat a year and five were leaving more than $100 worth of butterfat In the skim milk annually. One new separator, only a month old, was found to be leaving 1 per cent buth terfat In the skim milk, probably of the total fat present. In 523 demonstrations during the early part of 1928, a manufacturer of cream separators found that the average separator was wasting butterfat with a yearly value of $79.61. Tests for 1927 gave similar results. efficient one-fourt- Calf Scours Is Usually Caused by Indigestion THE FEATHERHEADS The Office Morale Calf scours is a common disease of the digestive tract and Is usually caused by Indigestion. The calf that scours early In life may be seriously handicapped and of course sometimes dies. Prevention Is best but not always possible. Care should be taken that tile calf Is not overfed, that the milk Is always fed warm, and that the milk Is uniformly sweet and fed from clean buckets. If scours occur, f cut the milk down and give a does of one to three ounces of castor oil or of mineral oil. Raw eggs may be used to correct the trouble. Two or three tablespoonfuls of lime water in the milk is sometimes effective. one-hal- Ml- - Dairy Facts H-H-- 1 Succulence can be furnished with silnge, mangel beets, or wet beet pulp. All of these will prove their worth at the pail. Sweet clover Is a great pasture. One acre of It will produce more than three acres of red clover. Fifteen acres of sweet clover pasture will carry forty Holstein cows from May until August. Reports nre received frequently that There Is little danger of bloat If the cows are pastured regularly, keeping the clover down or If the cattle are not turned In when the clover Is wet. cows Moat on sweet clover. Alfalfa hay Is highly esteemed as a roughage for dairy cows because It Is rich In protein and lime and Is laxative and palatable. Clover hay Is almost as valuable as alfalfa from the standpoint of the dairy cow. The protein content Is not quite so high as clover. Wheat middlings are very satisfactory when fed to dairy cattle, being higher In protein and total digestible nutrients than bran. They should alec be fed with otlyjr concentrates.
