' prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Such data as ar- - available indicate that the quantity of fluid milk handled associations has been by increasing rapidly during the last three to five years. Reports collected by the United States Department of Agriculture- for 1024 and. 192T show a substantial increase In. quantity for the latter year as compared to the former. Approximately 11,000,000,000 pounds of fluid milk was marketed through associations in 192T. of the Thi.q quantity is nearly one-fift-h estimated quantity used in continental United States for household pur-- j poses last year; Milk in Large Cities. A large fraction of the total fluid milk used in some of the larger cities channels passes through in moving from the producers to the consumers. Such, is the case In ve Phil-adelph- ia, Baltimore, Washington, New York city, Hartford, Boston, Pittsburgh, Cleveland Cincinnati, Detroit, .Minneapolis and other cities. There are three general types of enterprises engaged In marmilk.. These are the Profluid keting ducers Bargaining association, the Producers Distributing association and the Consumers Distributing association.. The bargaining association functions chiefly in the determination of the monthly price to be paid by private distributor, to the producers. About 60 per cent at the fluid milk marketed is under the control of the bargaining associations. It is this type of association which operates in the larger cities. Distributing Associations. The distributing association assembles,, processes and delivers milk to consumers such as hotels, restaurants and private families. About 40 per cent of tie- milk marketed is ban Led by this kind of producers' organ Asti. In general, these distributing associations operate In the small cities, although there are producers associations distributing milk at retail in. a few of the very large cities.

The vegetation Intercepts a small part of the falling rain before It reaches the ground. The decaying plant material adds to or at least maintains the humus content, and consequently the capacity, of the soil. The roots open up the soil to some extent, and thus help the water to penetrate into the ground. The stems and leaves near the ground form physical obstructions to water as it runs down hillsides, reducing Its velocity and Increasing the chances of its being absorbed by the soil. The reduction of velocity and volume of run-of- f and the binding power of the roots check erosion. Maintain Grazing Capacity.

So far this year the rainfall has been much lighter than in former years, all over the basin; Based upon this some are predicting a heavier snow fall this coming winter. W. W. Gailbreath of Myton iwho has held the position of chief clerk for some time of the Uintah Irrigation project in the office in My-twas recently transferred to Albiquerque, New Mexico, where he was given a position in the gov ernment office in the city. The Upalco flour mill in Mytou recently opened its plant for the wheat and other grains has increased in a perceptible manner. The quality this year is good and the local mill no doubt will have a larger run and thus be able to meet the demand of the local market for flour. The fanners in this part of the basin who are lucky enough to have an alfalfa seed crop this year, have been quite busy during the past two weeks cutting, stacking and threshing their crop. Some of the growers have begun to bring it to the seed plants. The crop this year is much lighter than for several years. Bliss Lott is manager of the Farmers plant again for the season of 1928.
