II, , J I TOE TRICE OP CEREALS The millers of Utah have this week held a meeting in Salt Lake City for the purpose of gaining information on the workings of the presidential order concerning the price of wheat It seems that the price of two dollars a bushel, Announced several months ago as the price for the 1918 crop, applies only to Salt Lake City and Pocatello, nr at least those points are the only, ones named in the order. If the order applies only to those points the wheat grower will have U stand the freight charges from his shipping point to ' cither of those cities. In this connection it seems perti nent to review the workings of the wheat regulations in the region. It is evident that the regulation established by Mr. Hoover are for the purpose of husbanding the wheat supply, but now after several months application, it seems to a layman that radical changes are needed to secure the desired results in certain directions. The situation ia this part of Utah at this time is most remarkable as applies to the wheat fanner and stockgrower, The producer is giving over his wheat to the government at approximately three dollars per hundred pounds and is paying three dollars and sixty cents per hundred pounds for corn or barley with which to feed his stock and poultry. As a substitute for food for man the situation is still more aggravating, to wit: "When the householder purches-- 1 es flour he Is required to purchase an equal amount of substitutes (an equal amount in weight) and the proposition works out thus: Wheat s flour, five and cents per pound, barley moat, eight and cents per pound, oat meal eight . ' , inter-mounta- t -- in to-wi- t: three-tenth- one-ha- lf cents per pound, rice twelve and cents per pound'. From the above statement of facts it would seem that there should be a system of price fixing which would control the price of wheat substitutes, especially when the -- price producing ill the substitutes," with the exception of rice, ia choaper than the production of wheat. In farming communities where wheat is produced in great quantity and white bread has always been the chief diet of the people, it is evident that much dissatisfaction is displayed when the wheat grower is required to dispose of his Wheat at less thin haf the price of the really less valuable one-ha- lf tf substitutes. From the above deductions it is evident to the most casual observer that' the government is not, and will not get the same amount of wheat under the present ruling as under a fifty-fift- y proposition. It is fitting r propc jtb at .the wheat producer be appealed to from a patriotic the consumer whpjloes not war wages, ami the vast majorenjoy of those so appealed to are ity loyally to the appeal.

The well is 711 feet deep and was put down by Stoddard Brothers of West Point. V-- : . I f G-- E - w i - times. But even the successful systems now operating In Davis county, point to the need of community effort Most of the systems have an insufficient outlet in fact, practically all of the systems discharge into shallow roadside ditches. The harmful results of In the such a practice are first place the system itself is not as effective as it might and should be In the second place, injury is wrought to lands adjacent to the shallow road side ditches and the highways themselves are impaired. Under a drainage district system, the outlet drains would be laid at such a depth that the farm drainage systems would have an effective depth throughout and there would be no in jury to other lands in fact, the out let drains themselves would accomplish some drainage. Such outlet drains would be led to proper outlets, preferably the Lake itself. The systems that have been installed indicate the need for drainage ia very general. Manifestly the lands on t he barrens require drainage to be fully productive. Systems have bon installed in localities extending from the edge of the barrens to points above the State highway. There is need for drainage still further up the riope. It is a peculiarity of the topography of Davis county, particularly in the vicinity of the Sand Ridge, that a series of terraces exist. These terraces are former shores of the Lake. Waterlogging comiit.cn i develop in belts along the upper edges of the terrace, at the fooc of the steeper slopes. The seepage cr sepr, down the slopes until, in some instances, the entire terrace is injured. Thera seems te be no reason to doubt but that the waterlogging will continue to develop clear up the the supply canal. There should be a number of drainage districts created ia Davis county. The size of the units is a question of Tt has both topogrupby und oTpolu-yalready been stated that a certain portion of the landowners must ba favor-abl- e to reclamation in order to create a unit., This consideration often limit'' the area of a unit- to lest than the proper drainage unit. Drainage districts is Utah range from GOO to 0 acres in extent. There is nothing in the law to prohibit the organization of a district embracing alL the land in the county requiring drainage. In fact, the law specifically provides for the inclusion of lands in two counties. There is another consideration affecting the size of units just at this time. The approval of the Capital Land Issues committeee of the War is require Jin the of seeuritiees, amounting to more than $100,000. Thecommittee has not yet approved an issue for the drainage of Irrigated lands and until such issues' are approved, it will be desirable to organize units of such n size that the lwnd Issue will be less that $100,000, or in other words, containing not more than 4000 acres. The law requires that drainage tuxes be apportioned according to b on cfi t s. " ; For th i ? Te a ?orr" dm in e d lands may be included in drainage districts as well as undrained lands.
