C. Wright, superintendent of TO AGED FARMER the Indian agency, Uintah-Oura- y Fort Duchesne, met Tuesday at Logan with representatives of the soil conservation service, and Dr. Lowry Nelson, dorector of the Utah State Agricultural college experiment station, to complete cooperative plans for a detailed study of the land and water resources of the Uintah basin. The Utah experiment station is at present conducting a survey ot privately-owne- d lands and the public domain, but because of lack of funds and shortage in the personnel, the Indian lands have not been included in their survey. This cooperation with the soil conservation service will complete an entire' resources study of the Uintah basin. Staff fo be Assigned Walter Woehike, director of the unit for technical cooperation; Mrs. Lucy Wilcox Adams, sociology and economics division and W. W. Hill, assistant conservationist, who have recently completed cooperative arrangements in Arizona and Idaho, are now ready to commence work in the basin. Members of their field statt will be assigned to this project within the next ten days, Doctor Nelson said. Four-Plias- e Study The Uintah basin study is a unit in a statewide survey of agricultural resources and their relation to the welfare of the people subsisting upon them, Dr. Nelson explained. The study is divided into four phases, as follows: Soil survey, under supervision of Drs. R. J. Evans and D. S. Jennings; irrigation resources and practices, under Professor George D. Clyde; range resources and use, under Dr. L. A. Stoddart; economic orol under direction ganization, Professor W. P. Thomas. If Utah is to continue to grow in population it will be made possible only through a wiser use of existing resources. It is hoped that th esurvey just undertaken reby. the experiment station wil veal the necessary facts on which the future welfare of the state may be judiciously planned.
