Since the first show held In the county last year, bulls from county Did YoWKnow... Utah's Fabulous Frisco Ore so rich it could be whittled . . . that's how old timers described it. Back in 1875, 2 prospectors camped at Squaw Springs in the Frisco Mountains, about 40 miles west of Beaver. One drove his pick into a limestone lime-stone outcropping and hit a silver bonanza that produced more than $54,000,000 in 10 years and created a booming town called Frisco. After sinking a shaft 25 feet into solid ore, they sold the mine for $25,000. The new owners sank the shaft to 280 feet and took out 25,000 tons worth $100 each. In 1879, Jay Cooke bought the mine for $5,000,000. Then in 1885, it happened. There was a rumbling ... a thundering crash . . . and the entire Big Horn mine caved in. Frisco's heyday was ended. Early Utah was ever changing, but throughout the years some things have remained re-mained constant. For instance, beer and ale are favorites with many Utahns today, just as they were w hen the state was young. And because so many folks prefer beer or ale, the light, sparkling beverages of moderation, the United States Brewers Association works to assure citizens and visitors that clean, wholesome conditions will be maintained wherever beer or ale are enjoyed.

A bull entered by Wilbergs of Castle Dale received Grand Champion honors at the Cedar City show. All of the Emery County at the Cedar City show placed high, dominating the sale. Reserve Champion, first and second se-cond place honors have also been won by several other Emery County breeders in Nevada and California sales. Officers of the show anticipate wide interest in the sale, with a SOIL PROFILE By Brad Hatch Soil Conservation Service Leslie Webb, Wells Robison and your reporter attended a most interesting in-teresting tour of farms located south and east of St. George, Utah, recently. Main item of interest to us was lined ditches and canals. This farm area is well advanced in the aft of conveying Irrigation water efficiently. Practically all of their large canals were lined about 15 years ago, and more than one-half one-half of the farmer's head ditches are lined now, in the Washington fields area. Many of the large canals were lined by use of spray nozzles that would spray the mixed concrete on the shaped earth banks. Present methods are limited to "hand placing," plac-ing," and use of a slip-form or "machine placing." A typical lined head ditch would be 22" deep, to 1" side slope, with sufficient grade to carry 6 to 10 c.f.s. stream. A notch or opening is cut in the concrete, when first placed, to serve as an outlet. These are spaced 10' apart with each setting 150' long. The 15 notches have exactly ex-actly the same bottom elevation. About Vi of all the ditches are installed in-stalled by hand rather than the slip form. Wendell Shurtliff, twin 'brother of Dell Shurtliff from Hinckley, is running run-ning a fine farm in this area. He asked us to say hello to all his friends in the Delta area.

Many researchers report that plowing fertilizer fert-ilizer down for potatoes, beets, corn and other row crops is an excellent method of application. PLOW-DOWN OF FERTILIZER brings fertilizer and crop residues in to close contact and facilitates more rapid breakdown of carbonaceous material. Extra nutrients are released re-leased for the new crop.
