Newspaper advertising, Roosevelt Signing Assures $300,000 Research Station GasRange Has Old-World Heritage )ini j-t icajf- if ni v Salt Lake City February 26 Passed by Congress and signed by President Roosevelt, the bill for establishment of a $300,000 U. 8. Bureau of Mines Research 8tatlon at the University of Utah has become be-come a law. Word of the president's action was received here this morning morn-ing in a telegram from Washington. The bill ends a twenty year fight for such a station in the great western mining region. Significance of mining progress to this area is shown by the fact that Utah alone produces minerals worth $49,000,000 annually. Utah ranks near the first In the production of all minerals. George L. Oldiight, supervising engineer at the present mines bureau located at the University, Univer-sity, points out that according to the Vandergrift reports, 47 per cent of the people of the state are dependent de-pendent on mining, directly or indirectly. in-directly. Other great possibilities for research re-search are the recovery of by products pro-ducts and the opening up of the field of many non-metallic products which are becoming important. Also, Al-so, he said, a better tone would be given the University of Utah School of Mines by furnishing university students contact with actual progress. irfoa n i I Unttct Staff I G nrna.n.u W!

Despite this bounteous supply of moisture during 67 days of storms, the mean temperature for the state was recorded at 47.7 degrees, only 3 at a degree below normal. Silver Lake at the head of Big Cottonwood canyon maintained its position as the wettest spot in the state with a record of 40.78 inches of moisture during 1937. Driest area last year was Green River, where only 4-27 Inches was precipitated. precipi-tated. Mean for the state was 14.75 inches, the second highest precipitation precipi-tation mean since 1930. Extremes in departures from nor mal precipitation were recorded at Ibapah, with 5.41 inches below nor mal, and at Mountain Dell, wnere the moisture supply was 6.75 In excess ex-cess of the average total.

Utah being an inland state, there are certain essential elements to balanced diet for example, iodine, which we do not ordinarily get, Dr. Morris says. For this reason, it Is necessary for us to eat certain sea foods. The averaee buyer should read -Fish on Your Diet," an article pub lished in the January 31 issue of "Consumers Oulde" a department of agriculture publication, Dr. Moms suggested. This article lists the re quisites of good fish foods and the methods of determining whether market fish are fresh or not. It also analyzes the preparation of fish foods for serving. Fresh fish, it is pointed out, has rigid flesh, eyes that are bright and not sunken, gills free from discoloration discolo-ration and odor, and scales which cling to the akin. Fish should be kept in a cold place to prevent any chance of spoilage, as sea foods spoil easily, it asserts. o ' ' Mr. and Mrs. Glen L.

Shelley Tues Range Program Continues Under New Farm Act The range conservation program under which ranch operators may earn specified payments for practices prac-tices designed to maintain and Improve Im-prove rangeland will continue under provisions of the recently passed agricultural adjustment act of 1938 practically the same as under the of 193 and 103T, ' accdrdlfig to DP rector William Peterson of the Utah State Agricultural College extension service. "The act includes an allotment of not to exceed 6 per cent of the total appropriation for payments for the range program, noncrop pasture lands and naval stores," Director Peterson explains. "Under this limitation a program has been devised for the conserva tion of natural resources on range-lands. range-lands. The program is essentially the same as the 1937 program under which 48,951 ranch operators con trolling 175,800,575 acres participat ed, in the 17 grazing states. The 1938 range conservation pro gram establishes range-bull ding allowances as the maximum amount which ranch operators may earn for approved practices. In Utah the allowance Is 3 cents an acre, with 75 cents added for each unit of grazing capacity. There Is an additional allowance of 35 cents for each acre of mountain meadow on ranches in counties ap proved by the director of the west ern division. "All the practices approved by which part or all the allowance may be earned are designed to fight erosion by promoting or restoring stands of grass. "They consist of natural reseed lng by deferred grazing, better distribution dis-tribution of water sources, run-off and erosion control by contour fur rowing and other devices, and the establishment of fire guards. Speci fic rates of pay have been establish' ed for the various practices out' lined." The Livestock Situation Los Angeles,' California, March 1, 1938 Release of statistics showing the numbers of livestock on farms in the United States is of interest to all factors in the livestock and meat business. The United States Department De-partment of Agriculture's estimates indicate a decrease in the number of cattle, both dairy and beef types, but an Increase in hogs and sheep, small" 'and not" of " serious ' conse quence. The United States Is credited with 65,930,000 cattle and calves as of January 1st, a decrease of more than half a million from a year previous. pre-vious. Of this total, the department shows 24,902,000 aa milk cows and heifers over two years old, or 89,000 fewer than a year ago. The value per head of all cattle is estimated to be the highest since 1931. While the hog population is esti mated to be 3J per cent larger than a year ago, the total of 44,418,000 head Is much below that of any year in the thirty year period previous to 1935. The number of stock sheep Is re ported to be smaller than a year ago, but because of the larger num ber of lambs on teed, the total num ber of sheep and lambs at 52,918,000 Is slightly larger than a year ago. The total number of stock sheep In the thirteen western states Is est! mated to be 418,000 smaller tnan a year earlier, with Texas and Wyo ming the only states that register increases. Thus the annual inventory of the livestock business should lend confidence con-fidence despite the rather unsatisfactory unsatis-factory condition of markets during the first two months of 1938. The slight inventory changes indicate that there is no burdensome supply of livestock In the United States, aside from the present numbers In feedlots which will move to market within a short time. The industry is on a sound footing, and it is apparent ap-parent that the only thing needed to bring about stable markets on a somewhat more profitable basis is New Cold Storage Locker Service Lyman Parcell, local manager of the Utah Ice and Storage company, announces that a cold storage room on the ground floor of their ware house, located at Sixth South and Second East Provo, Is being equlp- ned exclusively with individual or private lockers for rental to persons or families interested in maintaining freezer service for meats and fowl. In the canning season the lockers can also be used for coldpack fruits. These individual cold storage lockers will be handy, practical, and rented on a yearly basis at reasonable reason-able rates.

The two who have been recommended for the positions and who are virtu ally sure ot the appointment by the countv commission, are Hyrum A. Anderson of LehL for the north end rtt'jbbu'iaid BetbHsmsea of Spanish Fork, for tne souui sec tion. The program will be carried on by cultivating and spraying with farmers farm-ers and the county sharing costs. The Utah county commission has made an appropriation of $19,000 to be used in connection with state and national funds for the program. Actual cultivation work is expected to start April 1. Production of duality seed in Utah : is being encouraged by the Utah State Agricultural college extension service and its cooperative agendas as a measure to raise the quality of farm products in the state and increase in-crease the farm Income. "As ye sow, so shall ye reap'' Is still as much In effect as it was, college agronomists affirm. It Is generally safer to plant high quality home-grown seed than to risk the unknown quality of Imported seed. Efficient' farmers are careful to buy seed from conscientious and responsible respon-sible seed growers. Extensive use of home grown seed Is prevented by its scarcity. This condition Is unfortunate since, If sufficient Interest were shown, quality seed could be raised in abundant quantities in Utah to satisfy the needs of state farmers and build up a profitable and extensive ex-tensive seed market in other areas. In 1937, only two-thirds as many seed potatoes were produced in this state as will be planted this year. There were only 16 certified wheat growers, producing, only about 10 percent of the 462,000 bushels of seed wheat needed for the spring and fall plantings. Less than one per cent of the amount of certified seed oats needed In the state were grown in Utah. Only four men raised seed oats. It Is estimated that 96,000 bushels Of seed oats are needed; 137,250 bushels of barley. Thirteen certified local growers produced less than two per cent of this necessary barley supply. Less than fifty men raised certified alfalfa seed in 1937, and together they did not produce more than one-third of that needed in Utah this year.
