County Agent Says: IRRIGATORS WILL NEED TO USE WATER WISELY Irrigators who live on unregulated unregulat-ed streams without reservoirs will need to make best possible use of water wheJMt is available, accord ing to Coupnty Agent Marven Og- den, with Utah State University Extension Ex-tension Services. Take advantage of opportunities to irrigate those fields which are not in danger of water-logging, he advises. So.l will hold water until the plants need it. fff farmers will keep their soil reservoir full during the early part of the season, their soil may retain enough water after irrigation water is gone to mature a crop or get an extra cutting of alfalfa. Irr.gators who live on streams that are controlled by reservoirs or who have pump wells will also need to use their water as wisely as possible, Mr. Ogden explained. Keep in mind, you can't overfill a soil which does not water-log. After the soil has absorbed all the water it can hold in the area where the roots grow (root zone), any extra water applied simply drains on through and is lost. By irrigating after the soil has no more space to store water you may lose up to 90 per cent of the water you apply as it percolates deep beyond the root zone. Therefore, There-fore, plan to use water from the reservoir or well at the time and in just the amounts that will keep your crops adequately supplied with moisture throughout the season. sea-son. Whatever your source of irrigation irriga-tion water, you can obtain from the County Extension Office valuable valu-able information that will help you use that water to best advantage in irrigating.

Opponents outnumbered proponents propon-ents better than two to one in the unofficial tabulation. 275 voted a-gainst a-gainst as compared to 126 for. Canvass Can-vass of votes is set for Monday night. The election has been the topic of many spirited and sometimes heated discussions for the past several sev-eral weeks. Opinions, pro and con, have been expressed at almost every ev-ery meeting of two or more Del-tans. Del-tans. Three major items defeated the bond election summed up some of the voters Tuesday night and Wednesday. Wed-nesday. Foremost to many was the proposed Post Office facility. Many voters voted against the post office who otherwise was favorable to a new city building. Many more voted vot-ed against the proposed bonding because of the timing. The needs of Delta Junior High and Delta Senior High School are well-known and the school issue precludes all other issues, for many voters. Voters Vo-ters who have no children in school at all voted against because of the Legion Elects; Set New Meeting Day And Party Date American Legion Cahoon-Jensen Post 135 will hold its annual birthday birth-day party Saturday, March 23, 9:00 p.m. at the post home. The party is for all Legion and Auxiliary members and their guests, Courtesy Card holders and their partners. The party will feature fea-ture grilled steaks, games, and dancing.

With buildings empty on Main Street, many voters vot-ers felt that if the post office and city building were to be moved from their present locations they should be moved on Main, not further fur-ther from. Local Cowhclle Unit Organized A local Cowbelle unit was organized or-ganized Monday at a meeting held at the home of Mrs. Jeanne Taylor at Hinckley.

Plans Formulated By Clean Up Group The Clean-up Campaign is getting get-ting into full swing under the chairmanship of Evan Gardner. Over Ov-er the weekend the town was divided di-vided into four districts at the intersection in-tersection of First West and Main Street. This division results in areas or districts of comparable population popula-tion size. District chairmen were appointed, also. These are: Arlyn Finlinson, Northeast; Willis Morrison, Morri-son, Northwest; Earl Willden, Southeast; and Kennard Riding, Southwest. The four chairmen will choose two or more men to help make a survey of their districts and con tact all residents within the districts dist-ricts in an effort to gain full sup port from all in this intensive drive to clean and beautify Delta. Owners of vacant lots will be asked to clean their lots or authorize author-ize the committee to have it done. This would involve a . nominal charge but would result in a cleaner clean-er and neater city. Greasewood and sagebrush, which grow in abundance abund-ance in the area, can be cut with proper equipment without disturbing disturb-ing top soil or root systems. Such "cutting" can only be done after all trash and rubbish have been removed. The committee will assist a 2 8 L 15 Z 3 i -JL. iL Ji J! jB3 ' .r- , L I J.ZZ JLii c : oThj ' ' ' ' I V. z v m s-2 2 54 zi c n nn vx J 5 , : 8 I r7 S:: " ' Wi'h " 11 11 ' ' i 'I 1 I I ' W v TZTiTr 'eS.

SCALE O all property owners in cleaning lots if help is required. Chairman Gardner urges all residents re-sidents to contact their district chairmen and offer services, suggestions sug-gestions and equipment. To accomplish ac-complish the complete cleanup equipment of all sizes will be required. re-quired. Such tu'ngs as old car bodies and heavier appliances which have been discarded will require heavy equipment along with strong backs and a willingness willing-ness to work if Delta is to receive a much-needed cleaning within the prescribed dates. Chairman Gardner has approached approach-ed Mayor Church with the idea of the city street dept. cleaning from the streets to property lines. This would greatly improve the appearance appear-ance of the streets. Before this could be done, however, the commute com-mute will need many younger workers, (Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and 4-H'ers, etc.) to "sweep" the area of all old wire, cans, rubbish, etc. Group leaders of younger clubs are asked to contact a committee member to volunteer the help of these younger people. Each "outfit" usually has a community project for the year and this could certainly cert-ainly qualify. Delta City will also spray from the street to property lines for all noxious weeds and grasses. Committee members will contact the Unior Pacific Railroad to clean along all right of ways within the city limits. The spur line to Fillmore Fill-more is in special need of cleaning. Another place noted by the committee com-mittee that is in need of cleaning is the school property abutting the local football field. New wire needs to be installed at the high school tennis courts, also. The revised ordinances of Delta, 1956, provides for a clean city. Every instance of overflowing garbage gar-bage cans, trash and rubbish heaps, weeds growing unheeded and un-trimmed un-trimmed trees overhanging a sidewalk side-walk can be corrected by enforcing enforc-ing an ordinance. The committee hopes that all can be accomplished through cooperation of everyone. The local paint dealers hare joined the campaign by staging a special sale on all outside pants. 500 1I0TICE There will be a dairy meeting Thursday evening, March 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the County Offices.
