When the garden is fertilized with fresh manure and plowed in the fall and allowed to lay throughout the winter without further working, freezing and thawing breaks up the soil Into small particles and gives them a chance to settle down in a fine compact mellow seed bed. After harrowing in the spring such a bed becomes ideal for rapid growth of young plants. Fall plowing also helps kill insect pests by exposing eggs and hibernating hibernat-ing adults to freezing weather.

Under our present system, the legislature leg-islature can provide revenue to the district schools in limited amounts only as specified by the constitution m three established state school funds. 1. A small high school fund of approximately $2.00 per high school student. 2. A district school fund of $25 per student between the ar.c of six and eighteen years. - 3. An equalization fund of $5 per student of school age. 1 fall causes the plant food to become available to the young plants early in the spring. Thus more rapid, vigorous vig-orous and even growth results, Prof. Hogenson says. 'I Ids provides for about 40', , of the school revenue for the district schools of Utah. The other 60', is raised by the taxation of tangible property in the local school districts dis-tricts The proposed constitutional amendments would remove restrictions restric-tions on tie legislature so that additional ad-ditional state funds could be provided provid-ed and thus reduce the relative load on the local property tax. With this rigid amount of state school revenue as fixed by our present pres-ent constitution the only flexible feature of our school finance system is the Increase or decrease of revenue from local taxation of tangible property. prop-erty. Small amounts of tangible property in some of the districts, In spite of high mill levies, prevents the raising of adequate revenue and so the educational opportunity of the children in different parts of the state is still very unequal. The adoption of the amendments would make It possible for the legislature legis-lature to deal more effectively with the problems of equalizing educational educa-tional opportunities, the maintenance mainten-ance of adequate school standards, and the development of revenue from sources other than tangible property taxation. o : Most Fragrant Lily California's redwood lily, most fragrant of all lilies, grows nine feet tall, has been smelled by human beings a quarter of a mile away, and often bears 45 to 75 blooms on one stalk.

It has reached an all time low for the state of 41 deaths per 1,000 live births. Other states, however, how-ever, have still lower rates, toward which we must strive. The decreased number of deaths of babies Is due largely to effective control of the milk supply and to Detter cooperation between parents, physicians, and public health workers. work-ers.

It is a mistake to take laying mash away from birds during the molting period or to feed excessive amounts of grains to reduce mash consumption, consump-tion, says Byron Alder, extension poultryman at Utah State Agricultural Agricul-tural college. If flock of hens la well managed not all birds will molt at the same time, so one should feed the same ration to the whole flock. Molting birds do not consume quit as much feed each day as when they are laying, so it Is rather important to check on comparative amounts of grain and mash consumed by ths flock and limit amount of grain fed each day to number of pounds of mash consumed where birds, hay. access to dry mash continuously. Over feeding of grain will reduce mash consumption, and this has a tendency to prolong the molt as well as check production in hens that are laying. o Beat DkUib Highest in North The bigtest death rates from tun stroke and heat stroke are not ta southern states, but in the northern states and the Negro Is more sua ceptible to death from these causM than the white man. rentable through adequate use of cod liver oil and sunlight.
