Show OREM-GENEVA TIMES THURSDAY, APRIL 1 1948 Wiring Has important Place In Making Farm Productive Br IRA MILLER Farm Electrification Bureau Have you ever tried watering your garden through a straw? Of course you haven't and you never will. It just ' won't work. A straw isn't big enough to carry the amount of water necessary lor an adequate irrigation job. 4 -.v.;; jfc, il ELECTRIC SERVICE comes to the farm. It's much the same way with a wiring system. If the wires serving your farm buildings are too small, they won't be able to carry enough current to enable your electrical equipment to operate satisfactorily. Unlike th unacceptable "watering straw" Idea, however, soma farm families do try to coax more electricity elec-tricity through their Inadequate wiring wir-ing systems than It Is possible for them to deliver. A wiring system won't stretch beyond its current carrying car-rying capacity. If it is designed for lights only, it will provide you with all the current required by every light in the house and that's about all. It wasn't planned to do any more. Such a system Is totally inadequate for the efficient operation of a mil cooler, refrigerator, milking machirv welder and similar equipment. Whether you are wiring your farm for the first time or re-wiring it here's something to remember: plau your wiring to meet your present and future electrical requirements. Be sure your wiring system has i service entrance of ample size! enough circuits, each with the proper wiit size; individual circuits for rang, water heater and larger motors, and a sufficient number of outlets and switches, properly located. Don't underestimate un-derestimate your needs or the convenience con-venience value of a maximum number num-ber of outlets of all types. Make certain that your system is designed so that it can be expanded easily and that it is installed by one who understands under-stands farm electric power and lighting light-ing requirements. Ask that your power pole or other metering point be located midway between the two or more locations on your farm where the heaviest use is made of your largest current consuming con-suming equipment. This "load center" cen-ter" plan will prove most economical in every way and will help you to get plenty of electricity to your buildings build-ings and power machinery. Safety in wiring depends on having your sys-1 tem installed in compliance with the1 National Electrical Code. For special' circuits serving motor loads,' circuit protection, provided through circuit breakers or fuses, should be based on electric loads served. j A farm is a food production factory fac-tory and must be wired as such, with special attention given to the Individual Indi-vidual requirements of each. 1 i ' i n- if.'., it - x 1 , -' I t - - ju i Z-5 1 '; Wf BURTON WILLIAMS j -to.

UTAH FARMERS WANT 4500 NAVAJO INDIANS j Utah farmers have asked the State Department of Employment Employ-ment Security for 4500 Navajo Indians for 1948 farm work, B. L. Flanagan, executive director, has announced. Approximately 2500 Indians could fill the orders or-ders because requests for help are at different times, he said. At a joint meeting of Mr. Flanagan's Flan-agan's department with the ex ecutive committee of the Utah State Farm Labor Association, it was agreed that the depart ment should assume responsibili ty of working with the U. S. Indian Service in the recruiting of workers.

Ashton, Utah State Extension horticulturist. horticul-turist. After starting the young tree, he said, do s little pruning as is necessary to get the tree to the shape desired. Let it get it full growth as soon as it can. Pruning is a dwarfing process and delays de-lays production. If you prune too hard and too soon, he cautioned, cau-tioned, you'll grow wood, not fruit or flowers. Although pruning is one of the oldest horticultural practices the principles on which it is based bas-ed are not well understood by many orchardists and gardeners. Pruning should always be done with a specific purpose in mind. That purpose may be the shap ing of the plant or renewal or invigorating of fruiting trees. Pruning, Mr Ashton added, B1MHALL BROS.

The rational pruning of a young tree pr orna mental plant directs its growth" and determines its form and the distribution of its fruits and flowers when bearing age is attained; at-tained; it is used to control fruit and flower production, both as regards the quantity and the character of the product. It is not hard to piuae uees, but it is a job which must be done carefully. In conclusion, Mr. Ashton said it is a good rule to "cut no more than is necessary nec-essary to accomplish a specific purpose, as over-pruning, in general, gen-eral, is more injurious than under-pruning. - Mr. and Mrs. J.

The crate, made of 2 x 4's, may have a gate at one end. Getting a sow into such a vehicle should not be difficult. If she balks at entering, put some grain in the front of the car and entice her in. If she persists in her refusal, put a basket over her head and back her in. Plant Garden Peas Early for Results Early spring peas should be included among the first vegetables vege-tables to plant in your gardens, according to experts of the state extension service. Planting peas early is good crop insurance, as it is one of the best ways, to prevent pea weevil infestation. ' Many pea crops are spoiled each year due to weevil damage and a contributing contribu-ting factor is late planting. Too many gardeners wait un til May or early June to plant peas, at about the same time as corn, p6tatoes and other vege tables that cannot be planted until un-til danger of killing frost is past This practice is not recommend ed for peas because warm weather weath-er seems to contribute to weevil weev-il infestation. A large percentage of late-planted peas are never used on account of this. ; As an added precaution, dust the peas with 1 rotenone dust just before pods begin to form, The dusting should be kept up at five-day intervals until the peas are ready to be harvested Other vegetables which should be planted early are onions, let tuce, radishes and spinach. 1 .
