Show UTAH FISH AND GAME By Eldridge Carter The Payson Chronicle, Payson, Utah THURSDAY, MARCH SEEDING ROADSIDES By Edwin E. Lovelace, Jr. The purpose of seeding along highways is generally under two Spring Lake News classifications. Erosion control and aesthetics. The effects of By Lenora runoff resulting from rain and melting snow, especially on some of the high roadway embankments, tend to somewhat destroy the efforts of producing a finished product by scarring the slopes with drainage canals. If this is allowed to continue, it can do serious dam- age to the road as well as to be unsightly. Therefore, by seeding the slopes with grass which take deep roots and spreads along the extent of the slopes, the erosion is either reduced to a minimum or is eliminated altogether. This, of course, results in the saving of considerable maintenance costs, which over a period of time offsets the initial cost for the seeding. Just as a dwelling house is dull and drab until it is painted and its surrounding yard landscaped, so are the highways until we provide landscape on its immediately adjacent areas. The highway engineer uses a great deal of technical knowledge, gained through education and experience, to construct a highway that will remain durable under present day traffic. The traveling public, however, judges the quality of a road from the appearance of the final product. Therefore, in order that our highways may be observed to be of high quality, which they actually are, the roadsides are landscaped to present a pleasing appearance to those who would travel our State Highways. In doing this, several other benefits are derived. By planting sturdy types of grass that produce vigorous seedlings, growth of noxious weeds are controlled and thus adjacent fields are not contaminated with undesirable growth. It is also a fact that a grass is much easier to maintain than weeds. An economic study is carried out to determine if initial cost is excessive when compared to maintenance costs over a certain period of time. In this case, results indicate that substantial savings are realized in reducing maintenance cost by dry weeds and other debris and, further more, tends to cover up debris which has been littered along the highways and which, in the past, has caused considerable cost to the public in the form of displeasing appearance and to the highway department operations as an increase maintenance cost. Utah is using dry-latype of grasses which have provided several desirable qualities. It is tolerant to a wide range of temperatures and moisture conditions, and is outstanding in its capacity to produce an abundant foliage in the spring. The mowing is cut to a minimum. Once a year is sufficient to keep it in a neat and pleasing condition. j Mulsh Crandall.

Utah State University plan no. available from county agents offices. Portable Calf Pen proves to be successful, practical A practical, portable, inexpensive calf pen can provide economical and healthy housing for young calves, says John Barnard, Utah State University Extension dairyman. The plan for such a pen was developed after dairymen lost many calves to pneumonia and scours after they were kept in drafty, damp and improperly designed buildings, such as old barns. Following many discussions with dairymen, the USU Extension specialists designed a portable pen to provide the desired advantages and still be economical to build. They used three 4x8 feet sheets of exterior plywood. They made the pen four feet wide, eight feet long and approximately four feet high and covered the rear of the pen with a five foot sloping roof of corrugated metal. A bracket, to hold a bucket of milk or water, was attached for convenient feeding. A removable, covered feed manager, that also serves as a door, was designed to keep clean dry hay and grain before the calf at all times. It has separate compartments for hay and grain and is considered one of the best features of the pen.

Plans for the Movable Calf Pen, Plan No. are available through county agents offices in Utah for 25 cents. Best results are obtained if the pen is placed in an area convenient for feeding and on ed ground, such as sand or gravel. It is recommended that bedding be left to build up in the pen until time to remove the calf after it is taken off milk. The pen should be sanitized and moved before putting a new calf in. Barnard indicated the calf should be kept in the pen from two to three months. This would mean, he said, the pen could be used for four to six calves each year. With an estimated usable period of 10 years, this cuts the investment in each pen on a per calf basis to 50 cents to one dollar a year. 2-- IMwifli my wife, And yet it cannot be truly said that he makes no mistakes, because the biggest mistake he makes is the very fact that he tries nothing, does nothing except criticize those who do things. yon dont!

Castro) Utah Taxes 2nd Highest In Goshen News by EVA Eight Western States COOK Utahs total state and local tax burden last year was second highest among the eight Mountain States, according to a study just completed by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization. Preliminary figures for the 1966 fiscal year indicate that the total state and local tax burden in Utah amounted to $303.3 million and was equal of the states total to 12.96 personal income. For the Mountain States as a whole, state and local taxes were equal to of 12.50 personal income. These figures reflect the tax adjustments made in Utah and which met in 1965. The Foundation study shows that Utahs relative tax burden increased substantially in 1966 as a result of the tax increases imposed the previous year. In fiscal 1965, state and local units collected $267.2 million in taxes, an amount equal to 12. 05 of personal income. By comparison, state and local taxes were equal to 12.14 of personal income in the Mountain States and 11.11 in the United States during the 19bb fiscal year. During that year, Utah ranked 15th among the 50 states of the nation and sixth among the eight Mountain States by this measure. Foundation analysts point out that Utahs state and local tax structure is similar to the pro- file of the composite of the eight Mountain States. Utah, however, now derives a somewhat larger proportion of its tax revenue from income and production taxes than most other Mountain States. The advantage of Utahs broad-base- d tax long-claim- ed structure has been diminished during recent years, according to the report by the fact that many other states have been forced to broaden their tax structures under the press of revenue needs. Within the past two years, for example, five additional states including neighboring Idaho, have adopted a general sales tax, bringing the number of to forty-tw- o states employing this tax. Unlike Utahs tax structure, which is similar to the composite of the region and the nation Utahs expenditure pattern is more nearly unique. Because of the large number of children and heavy school and college load, Utah must devote a much larger proportion of its total state and local expenditures to education (46.90 than do most other states. The proportion of total state and local spending going for education averaged 41.9 The Poinsettia, favorite flower of Yule, was named for Dr. Joel Poinsett, first Minister of the United States to Mexico.

The table is included in the instruction, booklet mailed to taxpayers, according to Riland V. Wise, District Director of Internal Revenue. The table is based on consumer spending patterns and shows the average amount of state sales tax paid by Utah residents. It may be used by taxpayers who itemize their Federal income tax deductions. State sales tax on automobiles purchased is not included in the table. Taxpayers who purchased an automobile may add deductible sales taxes paid on the purchase to the amount shown in the table. Taxpayers are not required to use the table, Mr. Wise pointed out. The table is furnished as a guide for the convenience of taxpayers who wish to deduct a standard amount for state sales tax which will not require detailed substantiation. Taxpayers have the choice, of course, of deducting instead the actual amount of state sales taxes which they paid during the year.
