Water Transfer Mobility Greater value could be obtained from scarce water supplies in Utah and elsewhere in the West if irrigation companies would rent surplus water to other companies, a Utah State University economist said here Tuesday. Dr. B. Delworth Gardner, professor of agricultural economics at Utah State, delivered a paper on Transfer Mobility and Value at the annual meetof Water ings of the Water Resources Research Committee of the Western Agricultural Economics Research Council. At present, state law and company policy generally Impede transfer of water from users of one company to those of another. Dr. Gardner explained. But he cited a situation in a section of Utah that was not named in the paper, where Inter-compa- ny transfers have been made in recent years. The result of the transfers has been that farmers inter-compa- ny used available supplies more efficiently and avoided waste. Farmers who would otherwise have been short of water were able to obtain more water as it was needed. At the same time, the rentals they paid the owners in the other have Companies UKreucu ille luGGiue of the owners. When impediments wtffe removed so that water could easily be transferred from one irrigation company to another, water rentals nearly doubled as farmers holding superior rights were able to rent water at a price agreeable to them and the users with inferior rights. By better water allocaton, the productivity of the entire agricul-ture- al economy can be increased.

Farm Management W e understand that the Farm Management Department of Utah State University is attempting to determine the feasibility of making a comprehensive survey of the value of agriculture in the state's economy. Such a survey would Include in addition to the actual production activities on the farms and ranches, the related services, processing, distribution and marketing of the products of agriculture. We feel that such a survey would be of distinct value to agriculture and to the other segments of Utah's economy. We suggest that the officers of Utah Farm Bureau make such contacts as are necessary to make such a survey a reality. (Continued on Page 8) Haven't seen so much snow in nineteen years! Great for the skiers and the ranges will benefit come Spring, but right now things are a little on the miserable side. Might be a good time to think of winter tires if you haven't already put yours on. The Farm Bureau tire program offers top quality tires at low, low prices. Fact is, you can't get this quality tires at lower prices anywhere. If you haven't taken adBurssu president or vantage of the program call your county rG.-.commodity committee chairman today.
