George Dewey Clyde, associate professor of irrigation at the of college, after a five snowfall in some of the high basins of the Pear River mountains in northern Utah, declares that his data indicates that the supply of water for the coming year will be not more than 75 per cent of normal. Not only was the winter precipitation far below the average, but the spring fall of moisture in the higher mountains has been very dificient thus far. Mr. Clyde reports that the snow up to the seven thousand-foo- t levi was gone this year at a much earlier date than usual, so that the has ben unusualeaily spring run-oly heavy. Unless we have at least two inches precipitation during the month of May, he believes that the supply of water available for the summer will fall from 75 per cent to possibly as low as 50 per cent. The precipitation surveys undertaken by Mr. Clyde this year are expected to mark the beginning of the collection of extensive meteorological data which will be of immense value to the farmers and other water users of the state. The work is being carried on under the direction of the College Experiment Station. Annual surveys will be made and the data compiled to supplement the data of the United States Weather Bureau. In time it is hoped that by means of this information accurate forecasts may be made of each seasons water supply and particular which will be valuable especially to the users of water and particularly to the irrigation companies and power plants which use storage reservoirs to control their supply. day-surv- liberal use of this stimulate no business can meet with great success. 4 4 4 H.

Previous national conclaves of the Disabled American Veterans have been held in Detroit, San Francisco and Minneapolis, the citizens of these cities and the states in which they are located, joining hands in preparing a hearty and elaborate welcome for the throngh of maimed heroes within their gates. Every effort must be exerted to stage an equally appropriate, if not greater, national gathering and receptions, than wede presented in the other cities. A budget has been prepared, providing a diattracversity of entertainment-antions for the great body of visiting delegates and disabled veterans. Many prominent international and national veterans and military leaders will be present at the big conclave.

The real booster has also to be a "doer." Your booster i3 the fellow who is back of the civic program. He is the man who attends mass meetings, reads this paper and otherwise keeps himself informed on what is going on. The booster is slow to criticise. There are plenty of things with which he is not in hearty accord. But he takes the time and pains to equip himself with the facts before he starts talking. The booster knows there are two sides to every question. And e knows the other fellow may be right at least part of the time. For that reason he tries to get the mass perspective on any question which concerns others besides himself.
