centers who ordinarily must pay day a high freight rato rate on imported food products whether wo live in town or on the farm should consider well the discussion given by the dairy council following its eions will surly burly bring hotter better health greater strength more prosperity and happiness to any home through increased consumption of good quality milk and milk products largely because milk la Is a many people have not considered it a necessary article in the diet and have either reduced their purchases of this valuable food or purchased it rather reluctantly however when its real food value IF 1 known it Is looked upon as the MOST nourishing of all foods it Is a complete food containing all the food essentials necessary for body activities its protein Is of exceptional quality and the fat in milk contains a newly discovered substance essential in the diet called PAT SOLUBLE A this substance has boon been found to be indispensable to health and no child can grow and develop without it valuable to adult furthermore this substance Is vau valuable ablo to the adult in promoting health and vigor this thib growth and health promoting element Is deficient in the diet of ose

otheir staple art idea of idlet for example ctol costs about twice as an much as milk for the samo same food value pork chops ham and Bh shoulder are more empens I 1 ivo than four per cent milk milks while chicken at 27 cents a pound Is more moro than fifty per cent more expensive and broilers at 30 cents a pound arg almost five times as expensive eggs at 48 cens cons a dozen are about two and one half halt times as costly as four per cent milk fresh fish such as salmon halibut and whitefish costs about two and one halt half times as much of 0 the fruits only those that are dried are as cheap as milk the same Is generally true with respect to the vegetables except potatoes for instance canned peas at 20 cents a pound are about three and one half times as expensive as tour four per cent

which under the most careful manipulation can not completely serve nil all the for tile alfalfa fields boon soon wo we shall soo see very significant contrasts in tho the way different fields grow their second crop though most of them have just recently yielded up excellent cuttings the second growth will depend depond upon the aall 11 inglet uro then let lot us consider a few mi measures which will increase the percentage of fields t that hat will produce another cutting size important of first importance Is to tho size of the irrigation tet kit roero roam under ordinary conditions on alfalfa land one man can handle a stream measuring from 3 to 6 second feet foot A stream of 2 second feet should be considered the minimum in economical alfalfa irrigation tho the only way of maintaining a reasonable sized stream during low water is to combine enough shares to satisfy the needs and rotate among the on time schedules to include in the rotation enough shares to insure a stream of 2 or more second feet bayout 31 consideration possibly tho the next consideration should sh duld be the layout of fann farm ditches for irrigation A good general gene e ral ru rule 10 to follow is to ha have te the ditches cleaned and of ample size to carry all the water next have them arranged so that the water can taken quickly and in ose stream to such part of the field needing the water most that Is have your ditch ea es arranged so you can catt water particular parts of your farm which are buffering suffering without Arri irrigating gating parts that do not need water it li Is quite a common to use part ot at a very vory limited supply on land sot not needing water before the part which does aeed it caa can be reft rea ched Aked application treated irrigation irritation under the rotation system la in not sp s a la the case of a small continuous stream it stimulates the farmer to a COB coa carted effort he ile to Is able to plan hta his work ao so that he can apply

means for submitting resubmitting re to the tax payers of uintah county a special school milk ilk which is generally purchased for 15 1 cents F fact proven all these figures show that milk Is an economical and nourishing food even at 15 1 or 20 cents a quart this fact coupled with the fact that milk contains certain substances called vita vitamins mines which are necessary for growth and health and mineral matter of splendid quality should make everybody realize keenly enly that milk should be used freely in every american home and in every hman dietary tax levy further that polling
