But he cut down many trees, let his cattle overgraze the grass, killed off many wild animals, and started forest fires that caused great loss of wood and wildlife. Besides upsetting the balance of nature man has also leached the soil of minerals and has not put them back. Some of the ways we can conserve con-serve water and soil are: (1) Contour Con-tour Plowing. By plowing along the contour of a hill or mountain this water that comes from the , : ii-j : 1 j j u.. ' spring uoous is siuweu uuwa vy the plowed contours and is given a chance to sink in, so it can be used later in the year as it comes from streams. This also prevents the water from washing away any topsoil. (2) Gully Dams. Gully dams placed in gullies prevent the gullies from being washed bigger and wider, and gives plants and grass a chance to grow. (3) Cover Crops. By planting trees and grasses grass-es to keep the ground covered it helps to prevent wind and splash erosion. The best kind of plant cover is provided by trees and grass. They provide good cover and hold the soil together well. They are called climax plants. When these kinds of plants are destroyed by wood cutters, forest fires, and overgrazing overgraz-ing a different type of plant takes over. These are called increaser plants and are mostly brush and bushes. These provide excellent feed for deer and other plant-eating animals. They are mostly poisonous plants. They are poor feed, poor plant cover, and are not good for much. Our national forests are used for many, many things. We call these uses multiple uses. Some of the multiple uses are lumber, wildlife, range, water shed, recreation, and soil. Probably the most important of these are the water sheds. They provide us with water we need for irrigation, Industry, and even SHOES for Christmas. Come to the . drinking. So it is important to keep DELMART for complete selections for Christmas giving.

You are equally surprised to find a greater number num-ber of horse-drawn vehicles than in Hong Kong, New Delhi or Thailand. You drive along main thoroughfares lined by workers' apartments. These are good, sturdy buildings, quite large, showing surprising signs of age, though I have no idea how old they are. Later I was to learn that while these main thoroughfares thorough-fares are faced with modern apartments, around the corner there were actually log cabins and little wcoden shacks. On and into The Moscow. It is the capitol's newest, most modern mod-ern hotel, in that it has just been refurbished. I was surprised sur-prised to find four little elevators ele-vators serving a big building. I was even more-surprised to find four old ladies with babushkas babush-kas tied around their heads serving serv-ing as elevator operators. No uniforms were ever to appear on any hotel worker. The elevators ele-vators themselves were pushbutton push-button and they held about six or seven people in addition to the operator. Waiting for an elevator in The Moscow is often a lengthy and annoying chore, so that people occupying 8th and 9th floor rooms frequently walk up and down. My room was modern. It had a table in the center of the room, as do most hotel rooms. My table cloth had witnessed many lengthy and tedious discussions dis-cussions as evidenced by the ashes ground into it and the assortment of stains on ;t The rest of the room was clean and orderly. The bathroom was tiled. It had a wash basin in it but no stopper. I had to plug the drain with an orange . . . which I had brought with me for there are no oranges now in Russia. It had a shower, ;oo. It had neither shower curain nor tub. One stood beneath the shower head on a wooden platform, with a hole in the floor. When I got wet everything in the bathroom got wet The toilet paper was cut sheets of a texture that matches our butcher's wrap. It was nicely contained in a wire basket nailed to the wall of the bathroom. The hotel. I was informed, in-formed, had besn redone a little more than one year ago. The plumbing was of th vintage that I associate with the 1930's. There was one nondescript bath towel and one smaller Turkish towel of an odd size. They were both freshly laundered, laun-dered, but of a grayness that you would have to see tc believe. The maid would change them if she felt they were too wet. She felt them each d?y she arranged ar-ranged the roor. which would be anywhere between 4 and 5:30 in the evening. There was a large spider web beneath the wash basin when I arrived and it was still there when I left. There was a clerk on each floor of The Moscow. If you forgot to leave your key as you left your room she would run after you either info the elevator ele-vator or down the stairs. Men in raincoats and caps or slouch hats would eye you as they slowly paced the corridor. I left my room to taka my first look at Moscow without a guide or attendant, I hoped. I was just a block and a half from Red Square and I wanted to see it. As I slipped out a door I found the streets literally liter-ally lined with vending machines. ma-chines. They were good, sturdy, servicable models, such as we had used some six or eight years ago. They dispensed various sodas and drinks, but into a single common glass. Of course there was a sprinkler on each machine for rinsing but it seldom worked. Many people drank. I changed my mind. I knew I was to do a grand tour of the Kremlin and so I thought I ll I'M II ill "plugged Ibe wash hum with n orangt I bad brought with me . . ." would go the other way. I turned the corner and noticed that there was an underpass to the other side of the street. I ignored it. I started up the street . . . one . . . two . . , thi'ee . . . four blocks and decided de-cided to cross the street and come back. That is what I thought ... the policeman thought differently. He bellowed something to me through a bull horn. I didn't understand but I could not misunderstand the wave of the stick. So I continued contin-ued on some six or more blocks before I was able to cross the street and come back. Then back to the underpass and into my hctel. The Intourist guide looked at me as if I had just planted a stick of dynamite. A few blocks from The Mos-cov Mos-cov is Th Metropole. It has a shop which is one of the very few places where you can buy souvenirs, caviar or vodka, and only foreign mony is accepted. You ca mot buy for rubles. At 3xchanges, stores, etc., the cashier cash-ier ays in abacus. I never did see h cash register. I waj T,,)W Pa,t cf a group waiting to board buses to visit the university. It is a huge and impressive edifice, but nothing to compare with Cornell, Wisconsin Wis-consin or the University of California at Berkeley. It was an exact duplicate, I was informed, in-formed, of a workers' apartment apart-ment plainly located off in the distance. The building was almost al-most as large as the Intourist guide advised. She said "that if a child was born in one room and spent five minutes in each room it would be 65 years of age before it emerged from the final room." Mister, that's a lot of roomsT More than I could accredit to the big structure. So that later, when I asked another guide, I was advised that there were over forty thousand rooms. Still later, a third guide proudly told me there were well over thirty thousand rooms. Here's one story the Soviets haven't yet put together properly. You are informed that the university graduates 24,000 students stu-dents yearly . . . that only 1 in 20 applicants is accepted. They admitted to 40 universities, of a smaller size, throughout Russia. Rus-sia. If these figures are correct . . . and it would be the first time in 44 years that any figures fig-ures from Russia would be correct cor-rect . . . then I consider our concern about the huge number of engineers which Russia graduates grad-uates as the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American public. The guide points out the marvelous appointments of the lecture room, indicating an ordinary ordi-nary blackboard which can be pulled down, which is used for writing and also serves as a screen. There was no reference to, nor did I see, any evidence of visual-audio teaching. Just one thing more before we leave the university. As we entered and as we left we were met on the huge grounds by urchins who were begging for chewing gum in perfectly acceptable ac-ceptable English with little if any accent. English is the common com-mon second language in Russia. On the way back to the hotel for lunch, one tourist commented com-mented on the relatively few automobiles in Moscow. The Intourist guide replied, "We have more than enough and will still have more tomorrow. Besides, Be-sides, our other means of transportation trans-portation are so splendid." This, . with cues, everywhere. We had very excellent crab meat as the first course for lunch back at the hotel. One soul permitted his fork to be taken away with his plate when he had consumed the appetizer. At the next course, when he asked for a fork, the waitress reached into the used pile, selected se-lected one, gave it a perfunctory wipe with a greasy cloth and set it back beside him. our forests in good condition so they can provide us with water. Here are some things to check and consider in determining what kind of water shed you have. WATER SHED CHECK 1. Uses. 2. Condition of the grasses, shrubs and trees. 3. General uses of the water shed. 4. Evidence of erosion. 5. Stream bed erosion. 6. Condition of the water. There are about 181 million acres ac-res of forest area in the United States. This is about one acre per person. So each person has a large responsibility. But if everyone does his part the forests can ,be sustained sus-tained and made better. MILLARD COUNTY FORESTS Sheep and cattle grazing are the main uses of our forests in Millard Mil-lard County. But they are also important im-portant for water sheds and recreation. recrea-tion. Most of the water comes as snow, ryWmA mag m r b-j it. t.. . -a Page 8 Millard County Chronicle Thursday, Nov. 30, 1961 but it does very little damage because be-cause it melts slowly and does not get a chance to wash away any j topsoil. Rain causes the most damage,! because it comes all at once. This comes In the summer and does much damage each year. This along with overgrazing by bands of sheep are the main water problems in the Millard County area. In the Delta area much is now being done to conserve water. Such things as land leveling, canal lining, lin-ing, and storage reservoirs. The soil is the largest storage reservoir so much is being done to conserve it also. Much money is spent each year in land leveling. By doing this the water sinks in better and is not wasted. Right now the canal companies are lining canals with concrete to prevent water loss also. Delta Canal Co. has spent $130,-000, $130,-000, Melville, $25,000, and Deseret, $15,000 on canal lining during this and previous years. Much is being done to prevent soil loss also. Minimum tillage, good drainage, and good management manage-ment are some of the things being done. GEOGRAPHY OF OAK CREEK CANYON The rock formations are almost all limestone. There Is much litter in the fall and humus where the trees and plants are thick. The Big Spring is caused by a layer of shale that runs through the mountain. As the water hits this layer it is forced out and forms a spring. This supplies quite a reliable re-liable source of water for irrigation in Oak City. s mi i A New Policy holder Every 22 Seconds My company State Farm Mutual insures cars at this amazing rata becauM it offers the most modern protection available, provides pro-vides hometown service wherever you drive and passes important operating savings on to its policyholders. policy-holders.

On a steep mountainside in Central Utah huge mounds of multicolored mine wastes, weathered to look like a miniature Brvie Canyon, stand as a reminder of gold mining min-ing in early-Utah history. Prior to 1879 the Merfur area lured many prospectors. Finds were rich as .high as S5,0K) a ton in silver but mainly in pockets. In 1879 a Bavarian, Arie Pinedo, found the Mer-ur Mer-ur lode, but the clay-like nature of the red earth and fineness of the gold made panning ineffective. The mill owners were about toshut down when they heard from Australia about use of cyanide to recover gold. Instead, after testing the idea, they built a cyanide plant, the first of its kind in the United States. Mining continued until 1913,'dunng which time more than $16,500,000 worth of gold wa recovered. Mining, like brewing, bat contributed much to Utah' progress. Moreover, throughout the state the United States Brewers Association works constantly to assure maintenance of wholesome conditions con-ditions wherever beer, the 1 j h t and pleasant beverage of moderation is sj.IiI.
