Mountain Snow Now Above Average Depth 1 After complaining for five months about the lack of snow and the probable scarcity of water for the coming summer, March staged a play which brought precipitation at all points of measurement well above the 14 year average, Thomas A. Walker, Cave Camp custodian, reported after the measurements were taken March 31. At the Timpanogos divide there were 82 inches of snow, with a water content of 25.5 inches During the month of March 8.64 inches of precipitation fell bringing bring-ing the total for the season up to 25.12 as compared with the 14 year average of 25.01. At Timpanogos Cave camp there were 10.6 inches of snow, compared to none at the same time last year. Snow coverage and water content at all stations was above normal. The excessive water content at lower levels indicates in-dicates an excessive spring runoff run-off for this area. Mr. Walker said. Mrs. Ethel Bean, Branch Primary Pri-mary president at Ashland, Ore, was a conference visitor at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo F. Madsen.

A spring wheat which protein content tests as high as Turkey Red, has been developed by Ben C. Lott native of Lehi. Christen- , ed "Early Shadscale," the grain yielded over 64 bushels per acre tjast year. Mr. Lott maae a practice oi "rogueing" or hand shearing wild oats and weeds in his fields. In this way, he discovered, in 1944, a cluster of 9 heads of wheat, the product of one seed, standing higher than the surrounding field of Early Bart. Alert to new or unusual strains of plant life, he marked it with his handkerchief, handker-chief, later observing that the kernels grew in double rows, and the heads extra long, with twice the number of kernels. ' The grains from this plant were sown in the garden, yielding one peck. The next year, the yield was ten bushels. Sown on 3Vi acres last year, by President Virgil H. Peterson, the harvest amounted to 225 bushels. 100 bushels of which Mr. Lott has available for seed. Laboratory analysis show 14.98 protein, which is extra high for spring wheat. Fall grains are usually higher than spring varieties, the best Turkey Red testing at 16. When asked how long he had been farming, Mr. Lott replied, "Seventy five years, I guess. I was born and raised farming." His father, Benjamin Smith Lott, was one of Lehi's best farmers; the grandfather, Peter C. Lott, was closely associated with President Joseph Smith in early church history. He was left at Mt. Pisgah to produce food for the migrating body of the LDS church. Mr. Lott, 75, retired from farming farm-ing last year, selling all his ground, including the barnyards. "And I'm glad to stay home and rest," he stated. Besides growing certified grain and livestock, he produced many tons of sugar beets, continuing his enterprising activities even after a severe fracture of the right leg, ten years ago. A well known figure atop his wagon, driving a handsome team, he could also be found carefully "rogueing" his land of undesirable undesir-able growth .several times each year. In this way, he cleared one tract of land, purchased some 30 years ago, putting it into such condition as to receive commen dation from former County Agent James Welch, for raising the only grain in Utah Co., which did not require cleaning before being prepared as rodent bait. He also helped haul rock for the sugar factory foundation built four feet thick on the marshy mar-shy ground. John Woodhouse and Elisha Peck are other Lehi men who worked on this project years ago.
