Boswell county agent, reminds farmers that the shortage of feed in many sections of Utah and the necessity of using all available feeds to the best ad vantage In order to meet demands de-mands for war-time food production, pro-duction, make it imperative that llvestockmen give particular attention at-tention to utilizing beet tops efficiently ef-ficiently in their feeding of rations ra-tions this year. Farmers sometimes fall to take full advantage of this Important source of livestock feed, points out Mr. Boswell, adding that a new extension bulletin entitled "Save Those Tops" has just come off the press and is available to farmers at the county agent's office. This bulletin, prepared by Dr. I. E. Edwards, animal husbandman hus-bandman at the Utah State Agricultural Ag-ricultural college, points out the feeding value of beet tops and gives recommended methods for preserving them. The average yield of sugar beets in Utah is 12.5 tons per acre which produce approximately approxi-mately 8.3 tons of green tops. On the basis of total digestible nutrients, the feeding value of these tops, if properly handled, should be equivalent to at least one ton of barley or 1H tons of alfalfa hay, explains the county agent. Effecient use of beet tops In livestock feeding operations depends de-pends upon satisfactory methods of harvesting and storage as well as combining them properly with other feeds to provide suitable suit-able rations, states Mr. Boswell. He recommends preserving the tops; either as silage or by drying dry-ing rather than pasturing them in the field, explaining that, "One must always risk unfavorable unfavor-able weather conditions when beet tops are pastured. During rainy seasons considerable nu trient loss will occur through leaching and decay of the tops and many of them will be lost from trampling in the mud. In addition, there is always the detrimental de-trimental effect of packing the soil when wet, which results in a cloddy condition that is difficult dif-ficult to overcome In the spring. Detailed instructions on making mak-ing beet top silage In trench or upright silos, on drying tops, and on using beet tops in the feed ration, are in "Save Those Tops". Copies are available at the county agent's office.

Public Asked To Conserve Electricity Now m Pledging wholehearted cooperation coop-eration of Utah electric utilities with the government's voluntary conservation program, J. Hamilton Hamil-ton Calder, Jr., president of the Utah War Emergency Power Association As-sociation today announced the association is distributing a free folder to assist residents of the state In conserving electricity. "While there Is no shortage of electricity In Utah," Mr. Calder said, "manpower Is scarce and transportation Is at a premium. In addition there is great need to conserve fuel and critical materials. ma-terials. For these reasons members mem-bers of our association are lending lend-ing fullest cooperation to the War Production Board's conservation conser-vation program." The association's folder gives concrete suggestions for the saving of electricity in homes under five categories, lighting, refrigeration, cooking, washing and ironing and water heating. It points out that clean lamp bowls and bulbs give one-third to one-half more light than dirty ones, that white lamp shades reflect light while dark ones absorb It; and that one 100-watt bulb gives half again as much light as four 25-watt bulbs. Users of refrigerators are urged urg-ed to defrost their units frequently, fre-quently, keep hot foods out of their refrigerators and open the box door as seldom as possible, while suggestions for electric cooking urge that more full meals be cooked in the oven, that much cooking can be done at a lower heat than often is used and that the switch be turned off before the food Is done thus enabling the already heated units to finish cooking tne iooa. Washing machines, the folder explains, should seldom be run more than seven to 12 minutes and should never be overloaded while irons which are not auto matic should be disconnected when the Iron is hot to conserve electricity and then reconnected again when more heat is needed. Leaky hot water faucets are wasters of fuel, the folder declares. de-clares. It urges careful use of hot water and suggests home owners should be sure their tanks and lines are properly insulated. in-sulated. In addition to being president of the Utah War Emergency Power Association, Mr. Calder Is chairman of the Provo City department de-partment of utilities and a Utah County banker. The association embraces 20 public and private electric utilities of the state, banded together to pool their power, manpower, equipment and material resources to assure an uninterrupted supply of electricity. elec-tricity.

Geneva Steel Company To Start Training Of Regular Operation Crew Apple Storage May Save High Prices to Buyers In view of the fact that transportation trans-portation systems and commercial com-mercial storage facilities are overcrowded, C. D. Ashton, Assistant As-sistant County agent, advises Utah county families to take advantage ad-vantage of the present prices and store a winter's supply of apples now. Mr. Ashton also calls attention to the fact that the nation's apple ap-ple crop this year is 28 per cent below the 1942 yield. In addition, addi-tion, Utah's principal competitor on the apple market, Idaho, has only an estimated 600,000-bushel crop this year as compared to 2,000,000 bushels In 1942 and a 3,000,000 bushel average. Although Utah's 1943 apple crop is estimated at 499,000, as compared with 307,000 last year and an average of 408,000, Mr. Ashton predicts "that the market outside will be unusually good because of the -small national crop. Local buyers have already made arrangements for shipping 200 cars by train alone, and indications indi-cations are that half that amount will be transported by truck, states Mr. Ashton. Last year only 80 cars of apples were shipped out of Utah. Although the present price may appear high to some con sumers, tnerr ir nttie prospect for a reduction, declares Mr. Ashton, adding that as soon as the first frost occurs, there will likely be an increase on the local markets. Since there Is not enough com mercial storage facilities to ban-1 die the Utah apple crop and storage on farms is not available in sizeable quantities, it appears that consumers wottfcl profit "by purchasing apples as harvested while prices are comparatively low, and place them in home storage. Apples are best stored at a temperature of between 32 and 36 degrees Fahrenheit. They should be wrapped individually in paper or the basket should be lined and covered with newspaper. news-paper. However, Mr. Ashton warns that they should never be stored in a mound since apples have a tendency to pick up "strawy" flavor If they are in contact with soil and straw for any length of time.
