AND SHEEP ABOUT STEADY Of the seven hundred and eighty-seve- n farms over in Emery county six hundred and ninety-fou-r are by ownera it is revealed in a preliminary 1925 census announcement made by the department of commerce at Washington, D. C. Of the remainder four have Hieeial managers and eighty-are operated by tenants. This condition has existed since 1929, the period for which comparative data is given. That years census figures now show that of seven hundred and fifty-nin- e farms seven hundred and three were unrated by owners and five had managers, while fifty-ouwere run by tennants. Farm values, the report shows, have decreased some since 1920. Lands and buildings are estimated at $3,383,350, compared with $3,414,341 in 1920. Land alone is listed at $2,920,056, compared with in 1920, and buildings dropped from a value of $512,280 in 1920 to $462185 in 1925. Acreage in farms, however, has been increased. January 1, .1920, the acreage was tubulated at 105,268. In four years it has increased to 12206 acres. This acreage embraces 39,950 auras producing crops of some kind, 18,226 of fwsture, forty-on- e of woodland und with all other land amounting to 64, 289 acres. Of the 'crop land 31,392 acres were harvested, 1601 suffered crop failure, with 6957 being summer fallowed or, left idle. In live stock slight increases are noted for all branches save swine, horses and da'rv cows. In 1920 there were 4869 hones on farms. Now the hi umber has sunk to 4553. Mules, however, showed an increase from 199 in 1920 to 328 in 1925. Cattle numbers increased from 21,381 to 22,709 with the largest single increase in beef cows, which moved from 0931 in 1920 to 11,346 this year. Swine dropjied from 4252 to 2960. In principal crops the season of 1919 is taken as the year for comparison. There was a remarkable increase in corn production. In 1919 a total of 9262 bushels was harvested from two acres. Lust hundred and fifty-thre- e year seven hundred and seventy-seve- n acres produced 26,624 bushels. Onts a slight climb from 77,478 bushels in 1920 to 92,766 in 1924. Wheat made a slight climb, from 77,478 bushels in 1919 to 78,382 last year. This increased production came from a lesser acreage, as the area seeded in 1919 was 4595 and in 1924 but 4038 acres. Hay production remained about stationary at 27,792 tons in 1919 and 27,991 in Studeb aker Now! on-rate- d Bob Special Service.

This condition is revealed by shipments .from various Idaho points through the Salt Lake City stock-yarto the Coast market. In former yean California has looked to Arisons and New Mexico and the other southerly states for early lambs, but this spring the first purchases are recorded in the Snake River Valley, where conditions are unusually favorable for early lambing. Should this develop into an annual condition it will tie of immense value to the interraountaiu region. This year, reports J. H. Manderfield, manager of the Zion yards, is the first that California buyers have given Idaho much concentrated attention as a source of early lambs. Iduho, however, should be given that attention every year, he believes, fur that state is ready to market January and February lambs when in purl a" of I'tah, for instance, lambing is still under way. Six ears of Idaho lambs went through Salt Luke City Kutunluy to California, two Sunday and two Monday last.

Suit to recover $19,564 from Dewey, Gould A Co., and also Arthur O. Giil, Perrey Dewey and Robert L Turnbill was filed in the Third District court on last Friday by R. R. Jordan.

Moffat, chief deputy to State Auditor John E. Holden. While there is no express provision covering the point the attorney general holds the appropriations made covered the school fis eal years from Julv 1st to June 30th. This will permit payment of claims which have been incurred up to next June 30th.

Instead of bringing once Studebaker cars dramatically in twelve months, we shall keep them all of the time with every improvement made available by our great engineering and manufacturing resources. Improvements and refinements, of course, wQl be made from time to time. New features wiU be added. As in the past, we shall continue to pioneer all vital betterments. But Studebaker will have no yearly model to make your July car obsolete in August A dramatic story. There is a dramatic story behind thia new Studebaker policy that vitally concerns everyone who expects to buy an automobile this year. Amazing records of Studebaker performance and endurance prove beyond question that the present line of Studebaker care is ao sound fr engineered and manufactured and ao satisfactory in the hands of owners thet drastic annual changes are not required. Authentic reports show that hundreds of Studebaker cars have given from 125,000 to 400,000 miles of. sturdy, dependable service. One Studebaker Big Six, used as a mail car, traveled almost 500,000 miles in 5 54 years, round trip service between giving Bakersfield and Los Angeles, California. Stupendous mileage I But the same stamina and nigged dependability is built into every Studebaker that leaves the factory. 24-ho- ur A Studebaker taxi in Jewett City, Conn., has traveled 21,008 miles without even having the valves ground or the carbon removed. In Stockton, Calif., a Studebaker Big Six has piled up 138,000 miles over steep mountain grades and rough country 'roads with negligible upkeep not a single major part has been purchased or repaired by reason of wear or accident It is a significant fact that wherever travel conditions are most severe, Studebaker by far outsells its normal proportion of cars. Bus Operators, Rent-a-CCompanies, Police and Fire Departments all turn to Studebaker year after year for their transportation equipment, because they have found that it always yields scores of thousands of miles of reserve transportation, and has low ' upkeep coats. At the mileage when other cars are breaking up Studebaker cars are breaking in. Its the second and third fifteen thousand miles that prove Studebaker euperiority. Its this reserve mileage even though you may never use it that greatly increases Studebaker resale value. Stamina is inherent a vital and indispensable part of the Studebaker formula for building fine motor cars. ar in-bn- ilt Buy this "One Profit car now Remember under this new Studebaker policy there is no need to delay the purchase of your new automobile until aqnual changes have been made.

Appointment of two committees to make a study of requirements for certification of teachers and for a study of the functioning of the compulsory school attendance law are now pending before Dr. C. X. Jensen, state superintendent. The two studies were favored by the district superintendents at the conference at the University of Utah recently. On the former a committee to be named will determine how to supplement vocational guidance by advising the students in the selection of a course due to a condition which st present threatens to overcrowd the teaching profession. Enforcement of the IS years old law frequently forces attendance in school where the course of study is of little value to a class of individuals and the worthlinres of its enforcement from this standpoint will be among the other subjects to be dealt with by the second committee.
