Show Expert outlines ways to save crops this year Farmers in the Timpanogos Soil Conservation District who are looking for ways to stretch their available irrigation wa-ter can profit by water stretch-ing tips from Howard Ivory, Soil Conservation Service Unit Conservationist. Permanent crops such as or-chards, berries, pastures and alfalfa need water for main-tenance of existing stands as well as water for crop produc-tion. Farmers growing truck crops, grains and corn can re-duce their acreage to cut down the demand for water, he reports. Water will reach farther by increasing the efficiency of each irrigation to a point where only that amount of water is applied which is need-ed to meet the needs for crop production. This is a year when we cannot afford the lux-ury of "over-irrigation- ," un-timely tillage, or a poorly exe-cuted weed control program. Farmers need to squeeze every ounce of production out of the available water supply. He further states that pas-tures, hay stands, orchards an dother perennial crops must be maintained in such a way that their future productivity is not imperiled. In many areas where normally two and three cuttings of hay are taken, only one cutting may be harvested this year. In these locations it would be wise to cut the hay when the greatest 'quantity of high quality forage is produc-ed and then to restrict grazing on these hay stands at least until after frost to allow the plants to store nutrients for next near's production. Pastures "which cannot be irrigated with a full supply of water should be used sparing-ly and allowed to mature as far as precipitation will per-mit up to time of frost before grazing. A fall application of nitrogen and phosphate fertil-izer will promote a quick re-covery for maximum produc- - lion next year. More cover crops ' Orchard crops should be maintained in a healthy condi-tion if continued high produc-tion is to be realized. Where permf"?ient cover crops are be-ing in an orchard they should be mowed to reduce the demand for available water and thus the trees will be better able to draw on the moisture in the soil. Where only limited water is available, small fur-rows used to confine the water to the area close to the trees may be beneficial. Permanent cover crops should not be plowed out of established or-chards for the sake of saving on water. Plowing will prune the roots of the trees and the break-dow- n of sod will reduce the nitrogen available for pro-duction of valuable wood and fruit. Where annual cover crops or weeds are present in orchards, they should be con-trolled to reduce the competi-tion for moisture. . k M . r.VolumeS-eigh- t THE SPRINGVILLE (UTAH) HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1961 Price 10c Number 29 r I Sir ratdr i Petitions being circulated to place proposition on ballot Initial steps were being taken this week to have the proposition of flouridating Springville's culinary water supply placed before the people for their vote in the November 7, 1961. elec-tion. The Springville Jaycees, fol-lowing an address by Dr. Rich-ard K. Miner on reasons why the city's water supply should be fluoridated, Thursday even-ing, passed a motion to secure 500 notarized signatures on in-itiative petitions. The petitions are being circulated under or-der of the Provo District Den-tal Society with Dr. Richard K. Miner, Springville dentist, in charge. If a sufficient number of signatures sign the petitions, the city officials will be asked to place the proposition on the ballot. The proposition of adding fluorides to the city's culinary water supply which Is known the state over for its fine quality, has been up for dis-cussion from time to time. Those favoring fluoridation claim that it is beneficial to children's teeth, especially those up to ten years of age. Others not in favor of fluoridation, ; point out that everyone, old and voune would he forced which is against their constitu-tional rights, to drink water to which the fluorides were i added and in view of the fact that water used to sprinkle lawns and yards, washing, etc., j would all have to be fluoridat- - ed, an unnecessary expense ! would result; also that a big ' J expense would result in plac- - ing fluorides at the various sources of Springville's water j supply. ' It is expected that towns-people will engage in some heated discussion and debate ' on the proposition between now and election time.

I The boys were among some 1 1500 Explorers from Calif or-- I iia, Hawaii, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and Wyoming who were uests of the U.S. Navy at the day conference at San Diego. They set up camp in sleep-i- g bags on the flight decks "- -if the Pacific Fleet Aircraft carriers, USS Bennington and the USS Lexington at the North Island Naval Air Sta-tion. The first morning on the ship, they were welcomed by Vice Admiral Clarence E. Ek-stro-commander of the Pa-cific Fleet Naval Air Force and Rear Admiral Murr E. Ar-nold, commandant of the 11th Naval District. In the afternoon, they board-ed navy landing craft from North Island to the U.S. Na-val Training Center, where they were guests at the week-ly recruit review. In the evening, they were guests of honor at a banquet at the Hotel Del Coronado. En-tertainment was furnished by Hollywood personalities, Kirby Grant and Cathie Taylor. Saturday, the Explorers par-ticipated in a government cli-nic and swam at the Silver Strand State Park. They also witnessed a demonstration a by navy underwater demolition team. They attended church ser-vices aboard the boats Sunday morning and attended an Ex-plorer clinic, discussing such subjects as standards in ex-ploring, social adjustment, ser-vice in the Armed Forces, dan-ger of Communism in high schools and the American School system. Before returning home, they traveled to Long Beach and Los Angeles, taking in many tourist attractions enroute. They also visited Disneyland, Marineland, Knotts Berry Farm, the LDS Temple grounds and other points of interest, making the entire trip by bus. - ,"rv- - tic J. r .? :V, f j J . flHP j t.. h'- - Part of the double cast taking leading roles in the musical, "Promised Valley," to be staged by Springville stake next week, go through their parts.

The time is 8:15 p.m., at the Springville stake house. A small charge is being made to defray expenses of the performances. Two stages will be used for the performance which will feature special sound and lighting effects, authentic cos-tumes, interpretative dances, music and drama. Directing the musical is Mrs. Alberta Hoover with Eli Tippetts, the drama; Paul Mortensen, the orchestra and Billie Bird, scenery. The music is by Crawford Gates and the lyrics by Arnold Sundgaard. The performers range in ages from 5 to 85 years. Several months work has gone into the production which depicts the struggles, sorrows and joys which the pioneers underwent in reaching the "Promised Valley." There is a double cast for the leads assuring some of the very best talent in each per-formance. An invitation is extended to the public to attend the enter-tainment on at least one of the scheduled nights. A cast from Kolob Stake is also rehearsing for their pre-sentation of the same musical which is scheduled for August 18 and 19, and on which fur-ther announcement will be made. Wallet returned tourist writes C of C. letter The Chamber of Commerce received a letter recently from a grateful tourist who stopped overnight in Springville, thank-ing the city's fine police offi-cers. The traveler misplaced his wallet in his room at a local motel and did not miss it until he reached Gunnison. He notified the police but was not certain whether the motel in which he stayed was in Springville or Provo and had forgotten the name of the motel. Chief Ashley Graham said it took little time to check the motels by officers and motel owners of both cities but the wallet was finally found at Art City Motel in Springville and returned to the . owner in Iowa. Drought affects fishery outlook The current drought and cri-tical water table is continuing to affect Utah's fishery out-look, according to the depart-ment of fish and game. Spokesmen said planting schedules were being changed almost daily as normally "fish-able- " streams and lakes reach-ed dangerously low water lev-els which will not sustain fish life. They noted that some fish losses have already occurred in waters throughout the State, with a complete loss of the fishery being noted in Holmes Creek Reservoir, Paragonah Reservoir and several other small impoundments. It is expected that the loss of fish and fishing waters will become more frequent as the summer progresses. Individuals o r companies controlling water drawdown through diversion structures were urged to comply with the State law and notify depart-ment offices or local field men in ample time of such draw-down or diversion affecting fish life. Where such notification is given many fish can often be recovered and transplanted to other waters which are other-wise lost, especially during this rapidly detiorating water year. -- hycees hold :;r meet; ;:!ccme two The Springville Jaycees wel-me- d two new members, Ro-e- rt Osborn, National Guard aptain and Mel McFarland, 'onsolidated Western Steel em-ioye- e, at their dinner-meetin- g Thursday evening.

Trout stocking now underway The Utah Department of Fish and Game said today that 450,000 fingerling brook trout will have been planted by plane into some 200 of the State's backcountrv lakes bv the end i of this week. The department said this represents about one-ha- lf of the airplane planting program for the summer, with the last of the brook trout now being planted into lakes east of the Rock Creek drainage in the High Uintahs. The plane plants of brook trout began some three weeks ago, with the program now completed in lakes of the Lake-Man- ti and western Uinta mountain sections. Second phase of the program which each year handles the stocking of small fish into lakes inaccessible to the hat-chery trucks, begins during late July as several hundred thousand small native cut-throat trout are dropped into selected waters of the High Uinta Mountain range. leadership Tuesday Kolob Stake MIA leadership eting will be held Tuesday, !y 18, beginning at 9 p.m. i the stake house. A special invitation is ex-ie- d to all ward workers and Ocularly manual counselors dteachers are asked to be attendance since Wallace Brockbank, stake teaching tructor, will be present to tnict in this department. No sions will be held for mu- -' dance, or drama. What adds to the confusion in this space age is that pro-phesy gets to be history be-fore it becomes current news.

Individuals credited with higher incomes this year, report shows Personal income in Utah during the first half of 1961 was 2.5 percent above the same period in 1960, and signs point to greater gains for this year's second half. That is the report of First Security Bank's Newsletter which will be distributed this week. Utah's missile industry em-ployment is now over 12,000, and continues to increase in total and relative importance despite some slowdown in the rate of hirings in June. The bank observes that an- - state's steel ingot production for 1961's first half "was ap-proximately equal to the very good total of the first six months of last year." There are also increases in steel fab-ricators orders. Copper produc-tion continues on a lively week basis. Lead output is running ahead of strike af-fected 1960. There is some slight decrease in uranium, but "most mills continue high lev-el operations." In hospital Mrs. Ruth Scoville is con-valescing at the Payson hos-pital from a recent heart at-tack. She came from her home in Los Angeles, Calif., to spend three weeks with her sister, Rhoda Groesbeck and other re-latives in Springville. While she has been at the hospital, a son, Attorney Harmon Sco-ville and a daughter Janet came from California to see her as have other relatives from Ogden. ticipated cash receipts from agriculture this year will be considerably below the total of $158 million in 1960. The drought is the big contributing factor. "Slow but noticeable increas-es in segments in Utah's min-eral production are expected," the newsletter says. "Steel or-ders are reported good in July, should be even better in August and September." The Men are freest when they are most unconscious of free-dom. D. H.
