Irrigating, making hay, and harvesting fruit and grain were some of the major farm activities: Early reports on yields indicate average to slightly above average yields for small grains and the second crop of hay. Corn was reported in average condition for this time of year. Potatoes and late season fruit were also reported in average condition. Lower ranges are dry, but livestock are in good condition. Dry beans in southeast Utah look good, but could use more moisture. Topsoil moisture BILL GURR (left), president of the Vernal Rotary Club, welcomes Rotary District Governor Laird Snelgrove. Snelgrove addressed the local group on the importance of Rotary. Rotary district governor addresses local members Throughout its 80 year existence Rotary members have maintained the theme of "Service above self" said C. Laird Snelgrove, district governor of Rotary International. Snelgrove recently addressed the members of the local Rotary Club on the importance of service to the community, com-munity, international Rotary projects pro-jects and state and local activities. Since its inception in 1905 with only five Chicago businessmen, Rotary International has grown to over one million members in 159 countries.

Nationwide Rotary Clubs are developing a program to wipe out polio. Although polio is under control in some areas many people are still dying from the disease annually. In addition to International programs, pro-grams, Rotary Clubs also typically sponsor a number of local projects including in-cluding educational opportunities for youths. Each year Rotary Clubs award five times as many scholarships scholar-ships as the Rhodes Scholarship program. pro-gram.

Dr. Jean M. Larsen, associate professor pro-fessor of family sciences and principal investigator for the study, says the children, especially boys, show a "definite, immediate gain" from their pre-school experience. "We're finding that pre-school has significant, positive effect on IQ," says Larsen. "We're also finding that boys in both the pre-school and control groups of the fourth wave '(five "waves' or chronological groups are being studied) scored higher on the IQ test in kindergarten than girls. Boys who attended pre-school scored significantly higher than all others." Children participating in the study attend BYU's laboratory pre-school, which meets two and a half hours, four days a week. Larsen and her research group, which consists of different graduate students each year, is following follow-ing five waves of children from preschool pre-school through the third grade to determine both immediate and long-term long-term effects of attending pre-school. All five groups have completed preschool, pre-school, and data from the first four have been analyzed through the kindergarten phase of the study. The first wave of children has finished third grade and a partial analysis of their data has been completed. Results on short-term effects of pre-school are therefore definitive, Larsen says, but long-term effects are not. ' The researchers test the children at each grade level on such variables as intelligence, school adjustment, social competence and motor abilities. The scores of pre-school attenders are compared with those of control groups, consisting of children who have not attended at-tended pre-school at any time. Numerous studies have already shown that pre-school has a definite positive effect on children from disadvantaged disad-vantaged backgrounds, Larsen said. Pre-school programs have been developed using the "deficit hypothesis," which assumes homes receive less of the early stimulation important to intellectual and social development. Such children, in fact, show significant benefits from quality quali-ty pre-school programs. But, says Larsen, her study may be unique in exploring the long-term effects ef-fects of pre school on a designated population of advantaged children. "The deficit hypothesis assumes non-disadvantaged children are like- Storewide Sell Out! For seven long weeks It was mighty bleak. But Firvt South it don Now comet the lun!

"We are testing that assumption." The families in the BYU study are overwhelmingly traditional nuclear families, with almost all coming from two-parent families and less than seven percent of the mothers employed full-time. (Nationally, 16.7 percent of all mothers with children under the age of 6 are employed full-time; full-time; in Utah, the comparable figure is 20.6 percent.) "We realize we have a homogeneous sampling, but we work with what we have at our pre-school," Larsen said. "And frankly, the sample does represent repre-sent a large number of children and families nationwide." ' Other findings from the study so far include: While boys, especially those who attended pre-school scored better than girls on IQ measures in kindergarten, ; no significant gender differences were found in measures of school adjustment adjust-ment or social competency. Fathers' education level, not mothers', even though mothers spent considerably more time with their children, is the stronger predictor of children's intellectual performance in kindergarten. Fathers' education is also a stronger influence on IQ than is pre-school attendance. Mothers whose children attended pre-school, as would be expected, spent less time with their children than mothers whose children did not attend pre-school. The amount of time fathers spent with their children, however, was not affected by pre-school attendance. By the second grade: Significantly more children who went to pre-school were taking music lessons or were involved in other extra-curricular activities. Boys who have not attended preschool pre-school watch more television than those who have.

Pasture grasses will also do well planted now. The no-till drill has been used successfully in the Basin to plant all these in the past year. Dormant seedings of pasture grasses where the seed is planted in late fall and germinates as soon as the ground is warm next spring, have worked well in other areas similiar in climate. These late fall seedings should also be successul in the Basin. No-till planting has several advantages advan-tages over regular cultivation. The residue left on the surface mulches the soil and decreases erosion on sloping fields or sandy soils. The soil is also protected from losing water through evaporation, saving up to two inches of water the equivalent of one irrigation. irriga-tion. And the one trip over the field to , plant with the no-till drill saves time, fuel and wear on machinery. In most cases, even with the cost of spraying weeks, no-till is cheaper and more efficient than conventional farming. far-ming. We are not suggesting that no-till no-till is the answer on every field, says ' Sherry Fuller, the Soil Conservation District manager, but many fields in the area are well suited to no-till, and it could save you money. The drill can be rented by contacting Sherry Fuller at 722-4621. The cost is $6 per acre and there is a minimum charge of $80. The no-till drill plants eight rows with 10 inch spacing between rows. Studies have shown this spacing does not decrease yields since plants grow broader and fill in the extra space. The drill has separate hoppers for grain, legume seed and fertilizer and the planting depth can be adjusted. About a 50 hp tractor is needed to pull the drill. Jl SWFAST THRU StBvtCE!
