Plans for a successful evening are being supervised by competent peo ple and they urge the support of all in the ward. The water supply picture for for southern Utah is most unusual. Snow accumulation In the mountains moun-tains is at or near low while winter streamflows have been near average. aver-age. Light January precipitation, less than 30 of normal over the entire southern portion of the state, coupled with the record dry weather weath-er during December, has helped produce an unfavorable water supply sup-ply outlook for the spring runoff. Forecasts for the upper Sevier River basin for the rest of the water year, February-September, are for jnear 60 of the 15-year average for the Sevier River at Hatch, Utah, and Thoughts, by Dora Rose In the process of repetition, by saying a thing over and over again, eventually it may 'become effective. Effective as it is, this process may become very tiresome. Parents may become weary of the many times they have to remind their children child-ren of their conduct. Children frequently fre-quently say "Oh, I know, I've heard that before!" After going through these experiences exper-iences many times the exhausted parents give up in despair. Perhaps, Per-haps, at this point, we. may begin to understand and appreciate something some-thing of the problems and patience of all parents through the ages of time. There are no new lines of moral ity, life or safe conduct through life. They have all been revealed and known and proven since time began. Still the process of teaching goes on and on. With much tiresome tire-some teaching, many threadbare words, impatient children and weary parents. If our teachings have been sincere sin-cere and with understanding, some day we see these children taking their places in the world. Then they begin to remember our teachings teach-ings and become concerned with passing them on to their sons and daughters. Denver Naval Air Station to Close For Applicants With the closing of the Denver naval air station, prespective Navy pilots in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, and Montana will 'be required requir-ed to take their qualifying examin ation at NAS Seattle, Wash., NAS Olathe, Kansas, or NAS Oakland, Calif. Commander Elmo D. Runyan, acting act-ing commanding officer in making the announcement today, added that the planned cut-off date for processing applicants for the naval aviation cadet and aviation officer offic-er candidate programs from these five states now covered by the Den ver station would be February 23, 1959. He urged college students interested inter-ested in flying careers who will get their degree or complete 60 semester hours during June to con Millard County Paid 5617,179. in Property Taxes Owners of commercial and In dustrial property paid more than half of the total property tax bill of $72,564, 172 in Utah last year, ac cording to a study just released by Utah Foundation. The study shows that property taxes charged against commercial and Industrial property amounted to $41,299,516 or 51.9 of the total property tax load in 1958. Residential Residen-tial property owners paid $20,618,000 in property taxes (28.4 of the iotal) last year. Of the remaining re-maining amounts, $5,150,715 (7.1 of the total) was charged to motor vehicles, $5,073,660 (7.0 of the total) to agricultural property, and $421,341 (0.6 of the total) to other minor classes of property. The report notes that the above figures represent totals or averages aver-ages for the entire state. Because of marked differences in the econ omic patterns of the various areas of the state, the percentages for individual counties vary consider ably from these state-wide averages. Total property taxes levied in Millard County last year amount to $613,179, according to the Utah Foundation study. Of that amount, $363,455, (or 58.89 was charged to commercial and industrial prop erty; $76,442, (or 12.38) to residential res-idential property, $135,765 (or 22) to agricultural property; $36,233 (or 5.87) to motor vehicles; and $5,284, (or 0,86) to property not otherwise classifield. for near 60 of the 15-year average aver-age flows for the February-September period are forecast for the Sevier River near Kingston, Utah, partly reflecting the near average winter flows. April-June stream-flow stream-flow at this station is forecast to be only 8,500 acre-feet or 34 of average, due to the low winter precipitation. pre-cipitation. Storage in the upper Sevier Basin Bas-in is considerably better than a year ago with 51,740 acre-feet of water in Piute Reservoir compared with 33,990 acre-fee.t a year ago. The winter flows are adding to the reservoir storage of water aiding those who are dependent upon res ervoir storage but the forecast of light spring runoff makes for a very critical water supply for those dependent upon natural streamflow rights. Storage of water in Piute Reservoir should be very limited after April 1 since no flows above 400 fcs would be expected during the April-June period. For the lower Sevier River the outlook is somewhat better since the streamflow in this reach of the river is more dependent upon groundwater flow, which is fairly good this year as a result of the high flows of a year ago. Available water from the inflow between' Vermillion Dam and Gunnison should be about 45,000 to 50,000 acre-feet for the period March-June or about 67 to 75 of average. Storage in Sevier Bridge Reservoir is slightly lower than a year ago; 75,590 acre-feet compared with 81,730 acre-feetl Forecasts for the Sevier River are prepared in cooperation co-operation with W. C. Cole and Keith Christensen, Sevier River Water Commissioners. The February-September stream-flow stream-flow of the Beaver River near Beaver, Bea-ver, Utah, is expected to be 16,000 acre-feet or 44 of average, assuming as-suming precipitation for the rest of the season is near normal. Under these conditions, the inflow to Rockyford Resjrvoir near Minerville Utah, for the period April-June is forecast to be only 1,700 acre-feet or 17 of average. Forecasts for the Beaver River are prepared in cooperation with Lee Strong, River Commissioner. Near half of the average Feb-ruary-Septem'ber streamflow is indicated in-dicated for the Qoal Creek near Cedar City, Utah.

Taylor Allen, RFD 1, Provo, Utah, operates a 100-acre dairy farm, so top yields and top quality from his silage corn and grain are vital to his feeding operations. "We use USS Nitrogen Fertilizers and figure they help us get 10 to 15 bushels more per acre on grain, and a 4 to 5 ton increase on silage corn," Mr. Allen says. The high protein content of the fertilized corn and grain is important in increasing milk production. Mr. Allen says, "proper fertilization is a good investment. I get back several dollars for every dollar spent on fertilizer. I like the results I get from USS Nitrogen." Mr. Allen and many other Utah farmers have learned that maximum yields and profits can be achieved only with proper fertilization. And for nitrogen, successful farmers prefer USS Nitrogen Fertilizers USS Ammonium Am-monium Nitrate (33',4 N), USS Ammonium Sulfate (21 N, 24 Sulfur) or USS Anhydrous Ammonia (82 N).
