Show OREM GENEVA TIMES THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 . 1953 Columbia Sheep A Growing Breed It is no secret that Columbia Sheep are slowly but surely taking tak-ing their place among the top breeds of sheep in the nation.1 This breed, a youngster as compared com-pared to European breeds, is proving itself to good stockmen from Maine to ' California and Canada to Texas. I Columblas were first developed in an attempt to get maximum production from large flocks in the range areas of the West. These range men, using mostly straight fine wools, found that by using long wool or clack faced rams they produced a more desirable lamb. They found that the long wool and fine wool lambs that were kept as replacements herd-! ed well, sheared well, were open faced, and developed into good mothers. A system was planned . to breed fine wools for replace-' ments and to sell all their cross bred lambs. However, this was a complicated process. ' TWIN-SCREW TAIL OF ATOMIC-POWERED SUB l4 r4 University Announces Registration Dates Registration for students planning plan-ning to attend the University of jUtah this fall will be held Sept. 24 i through 26, according to Joseph I A. Norton, registrar. Classwork will begin Sept. 28. I Former students and transfer j students will register Sept. 24 and 25, and entering freshmen will register Sept. 26. Mr. Norton .said. Prospective students who were not registered during last spring or summer quarters should write immediately for applications for registration Mr. Norton explained. explain-ed. Entrance tests for freshmen will be held Monday, Sept. 21 at 9 a.m. in Kingsbury Hall. A general assembly for all entering freshmen fresh-men will be held Sept. 22 at 10 a.m. in Kingsbury Hall, and freshman fresh-man counseling sections will meet the same day at 1:30 p.m. In 1912, the Animal Husbandry j Division of the Bureau of Animal j Industry started a project to see what could be done toward maintaining main-taining range ewe flocks at the first cross (fine wool x coarse wool) level. Several crosses were tried and it was decided that the Lincoln x Rambouillet showed the greatest promise. The Colum-bias Colum-bias of today were developed from a Lincoln ram (Lincoln 39) and Rambouillet ewes in 1912. The best of the first cross rams were mated to the first cross ewes, the best rams from that mating were used the next year, and so on through the years. Any thoughtful person will realize that there have certainly been countless problems to meet and conquer in developing the high producing breed of sheep that we have today. Many breeders breed-ers and scientists have devoted their time and money in an effort to make a dream come true, a breed of sheep that is truly productive. pro-ductive. Columbias were developed in range country for the ranges. However, snce their development DESIGNED TO BE world's fastest submarine and one that can remain under water longer than any such craft, the Nautilus, first atomic-powered submarine is rushed to be ready for service next year. Displacement is 3,000 tons and will do 25 knots submerged. 'International Soundphoto) PRETTY GIRLS DRAW CHEERS AT LEGION MEET A n'HNACES ATR CONDITIONING ' APPLIANCES "9 S Main.

Wherever they go they are proving themselves to be superior in ease of handling, as good mothers, and as outstanding producers of both wool and lamb. Columbia rams used on grade ewes will: (1) produce open faced fac-ed lambs, (2) Increase staple length, (3) increase the weight of the fleece produced,(4) decrease shrinkage and produce a brighter fleece.

The comnanv's president said, "We have scrimped scrimp-ed and saved at every possible point, but we are no longer able to offset the increased costs of doing business." Then he citea a few facts f widespread interest which, in general, are a reflection of the record of the power industry as a whole. This is the first time the company com-pany has sought higher power rates in 32 years. During those 32 years, there have been 14 rate reductions. Inflation has cut deep into the purchasing power of the company's com-pany's dollar. Yet the dollar spent for electricity has brought the customer steadily increasing a-mounts. a-mounts. If the rate increase is allowed, the average price per kilowatt hour to the home still will be about half of what It was 20 years ago. The requested rate increase would add some 12 percent to the company's operating revenues and more than half of this would go to government in taxes. When it comes to "holding the price line" the electric industry need take off its hat to none. In household budgets, this essential service is a minor item.
