Constant conflict and split authority are among the worst things that can happen in a home. No wonder Junior feels like a football. It would be much better if his parents would talk things over freely and calmly so Junior would know exactly what is expected of him. COUNTY AGENTS CORNER- LANDSCAPE FOR BEAUTY Home is where your family's heart is. Plan to make it a place of enjoyable beauty and family fun. A good clean-up is the first step to any landscaping. Now is a good time to remove dilapidated barns, sheds and fences that no longer serve a useful purpose. The slack season also affords opportunity to repair those still in use for better service and appearance. A bit of paint will also do wonders in boost ing the family's pride in their home surroundings. Speak of landscaping and most people immediately think of trees and shrubs. If properly used, these help accentuate the beauty of any home. It is advisable, however, to go easy on such plantings. Remember Remem-ber most little shrubs don't stay little. Mentally picture them as they will Toe when grown and place them accordingly. Trees if well placed, can frame the house and provide comforting protection from the hot summer sun. A well-maintained lawn is almost al-most a must. A focal point such as a bird bath, planter, sun dial, etc., placed some distance from the house adds interest to a back yard garden. A neat cement sidewalk, or properly placed stepping stones leading to a well marked entrance, add to the home's "welcome look". Plan for recreation and relaxation. relaxa-tion. Many hours of living enjoyment enjoy-ment can be provided for children, friends and all the family. Recreation Recrea-tion areas might include: a sandbox, sand-box, wading posl, swings, badminton badmin-ton court, basketball practice goal, painted shuffleboard lines on the paved drive or chalked hopscotch areas, a barbeque pit, charcoal grill or fireplace, picnic table and lawn chairs. PRUNING SHADE TREES Some folks are getting anxious about pruning their shade trees. The county agent is frequently being be-ing asked: "Should we prune now?" and "How should we go about pruning?" Anson B. Call, Jr., Extension Horticulturist with Utah State University, Uni-versity, Logan, says the best time in most of Utah to prune shade trees is in March and April when they are completely dormant. The purpose of pruning, he points out, is to correct shape and faulty growth' habits, control size of trees which are becoming too large for space they occupy, reduce danger of wind breakage and remove dead, I; -COME IN AND SEE OUR- IIEW All Yeaiher Spring Coats -ALSO- -KOGAHYDE COATS -SWEET ADELINE BLOUSES PARK LANE DRESSES We have cotton dresses that range in prices from $2.93 to $12.93 DRESSY DRESSES $3.53 fo $19.93 CONNECTICUT MUTUAL Lilt INSURANCE CO. diseased and crowded limbs and other weak growth. As with a .hair cut, each tree must be pruned as an individual, but there are some general principals prin-cipals applicable to all trees. To remove limbs cut as near paralled to the trunk or branch as possible. This leaves a wound which will heal quickly. To head back, or shorten a limb cut just above or out from a lateral branch This will leave no stub exposed. To protect pruning cuts paint all cuts over one inch in diameter with either a special tree paint, or asphaltum roof paint. The material should be flexible and lasting. Let cuts dry before painting. If wounds bleed, they should be treated before painting. Use a funi-cide funi-cide such as copper sulphate solution solu-tion (one ounce to a gallon of water), wat-er), bordeaux paste, or mercuri-chloride mercuri-chloride (one part in one thousand of water), until bleeding stops. Then apply the paint. Poplars and cottonwoods often become infected with cytospora canker as a result of drastic pruning prun-ing and are disfigured or killed by the disease. Pruning methods are important, but the correct time to prune is vital, Prof. Call emphasized. Ex cept for repairing storm damage, prune deciduous trees only when they are dormant. Trees are dormant dor-mant when they have shed all their leaves and the new buds show no sign of swelling. If the wounds forget any further pruning for the season; the tree is no longer dormant. dor-mant. FARM MANAGEMENT Wise farm management is becoming be-coming increasingly more important impor-tant each year. Blanket recommendations recom-mendations do not cover everyone. In fact, individual situations differ so greatly that it is necessary for each family to make their own management decisions based on their own situation. Basic principles which should be followed by any family in making wise management decisions are (1) Determine your goals. Only by doing so can you give proper direc tion, purpose and continuity to family fa-mily efforts. They should be affirmed af-firmed and revised periodically. (2) Invest available funds in such a way asto help achieve the family goals. Weigh both the risks in volved in any investment and the opportunities provided. (3) Don't spend more money to increase pro duction than the amount of increased in-creased production will pay for Try to make each expenditure where it will bring forth the great The Sports news from D.II.S. this week is probably old hat to most of you by now; but, I think it's worth repeating, especially the part that took place at American Fork last Friday and Saturday. There are a few 'boys who will never tire of hearing and reading about their exploits there last week, and they have a right to be that way. I'd think there was something wrong if they didn't feel that way. Pride in achieving a goal, pride in winning, winn-ing, and pride in your school are in no way a vain attitude. Delta came through the State Wrestling finals with but one major ma-jor "scratch." That was they had to leave the Championship Trophy behind. They did very well, however, how-ever, by taking second behind the fast pacing of Wasatch High (87 points). The Rabbits finished with a total of G2 points which more than doubled Millard's 30 points. Also when you come right down to it, a jump from fifth place to second sec-ond in one year is pretty fair-sized leap. DilS Pep Club Friday, Feb. 26, 19G0, the Delta High Pep Club displayed their loyalty loy-alty and appreciation to the basketball bas-ketball team for the last time this year, at home. As is customary, the senior members mem-bers were honored by individual recognition. The senior members are: Kathryn Petersen and Sharon Hardy, cheerleaders; Julie Chesley, president; Karen Roberts, vice president; pres-ident; Ann Shields, secretary; Roberta Ro-berta Lovell, reporter; Kathryn Webb, stunt director; Selma Ann Ashby, Bonnie Bunker, Ethyl Bunker, Bunk-er, Carla Deem, Renee Hunsaker, Patsy McCormick, Karolyn Morris, Marion Petty, Viola Songer, Linda Lou Talbot, Venna Walker, and Eilene Workman. Also special recognition rec-ognition should be given to Miss Margaret Hansen, the Pep Club advisor. ad-visor.

This region title and a state berth are the first for Delta in six years. Milford did not make a field goal until only 20 seconds remained in the first quarter. It was the only basket they made. In that quarter. Ken Christensen provided a second sec-ond thrill for the crowd this week as he dumped in a basket from the halfway point of the floor, with only a few seconds remaining in the first quarter. Against Parowan the week before, he made a spectacular specta-cular over-the-back block of a shot by one of the Rams. Two precision spectacular plays. Rebounding was good Friday night.' Shooting was a little off. Delta had a good night at the free-throw line. They made 21 out of 28 shots from the charity stripe, for a percentage of 75.

SPECIAL NOTE If there is anyone within this paper's circulation area that has any questions concerning Delta sports this year or in the near past that he would like answered, he may get in touch with me, Kenneth Lovell co Delta High School, or he may leave his questions at the Chronicle office. We shall try to answer any questions that have arisen in anybody's mind. We will answer them in this column as soon as we can. All letters and ideas are welcomed. Editor Assistant Editor Special Feature Sports Editor Karen Roberts Roberta Lovell Marlene Bogh Kenneth Lovell Nila Jean Johnson Town Teen From the Office Of the Principal Check up time: Report cards are soon to come out and two-thirds of our school year is behind us. It seems that it is a good time to take stock of ourselves as students to try to determine the values that have been ours in our expxerience thus far this year. Within a short time we shall be concerned with another registration for another year. Much counseling and advice should be given by parents, as well as teachers, in attempting to establish es-tablish objectives for another year. We usually study the past to determine de-termine the future; that is why we recommend that we pause at the two-third mark of this year to see what we have been lacking what is good, and what is bad and from these expxeriences try to establish the objective we are eager to obtain. ob-tain. It should be a three-way co-operation parents, teachers, and studentsall stu-dentsall working together for the success and happiness of the students. stu-dents. We invite parents to our school to visit teachers, counselors, and the administration in an attempt to secure a better understanding of these things. Marlene Bogh Do You Have Any School Books on Your Bookshelves? How many books on your shelves belong to someone else? It Is often surprising and embarrassing to find books there that should have been returned to a library or a friend long ago. Each year a nurnber of books are lost at the high school library. Most of these books are never paid for because they are taken from the library with no record left as to where they have gone. As long as shelves are open to the students this will happen; but when library books are found in a home, it would help if they were returned. Individually a book is not too expensive, but the number of good usable library looks gathering dust in the homes of our area would be worth a tidy little sum. Many of these books have been replaced or need to be replaced; others are now out of print and so doubly valuable. valu-able. The . cost comes from the pocket of the taxpayer and that money could well be spent for something else if the books were only returned. Each year a few books come trickling back; some have been missing five years or longer.5 Because Be-cause books do come back, we remain re-main hopeful that more will be found in home libraries and returned. return-ed. The library would appreciate having the books returned. No questions asked; just a hearty "thank you" for their return. The return of the following books would be especially appreciated: Magic; Myth and Medicine; Medical Med-ical Milestones; The Science Book of the Human Body; Successful Wrestling; Jiu-jitsu; After School What; Treasures of the Earth; Rocks and Their Stories; Elements of Geology; Mormon Country; The Story of the American Indian; Treasures of the Kingdom; Tricks Any Boy Can Do; The Mustangs; A Field Guide to the Mammals; Life (a biology text); English Fairy Tales.
