Yheat Allotments Mailed to Farmers Notices of the 1964 crop wheat allotments have been mailed to all wheat farm operators according to Gene A. Walker, Chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Con-servation Committee. This allotment represents each farm's share of the 49.5 million acres alloted under the program. The wheat allotments of less than 15 acres however represents the larger of: 1. The farms allotment based on national allotment or; 2. 90 of the average of wheat grown in the years 1959, 1960 and 1961. Mr. Walker explained that all wheat produced on farms within the allotment would be free of marketing quota penalty if quotas are in effect for 1964. Marketing quotas for 1964 will be decided in' the referendum on May 21, 1963. On the reverse side of each allotment allot-ment notice there is a space pro vided for filing a notice to parti-1 tiatc. aiiis a itgibier wnicn applies ap-plies only to small farms with less than 15.0 acre allotment. This must be filled out and returned prior to May 13, 1963, to be eligible to vote in the referendum. The requirement to register has noth'ng to do with how a producer votes, Mr. Walker emphasized.

Monday he said that h s original report still stood and that before school reconvenes next fall, if the building is to be used, more corrective cor-rective measures must be made to insure the safety of the student-body. student-body. These, undoubtedly, will include in-clude buttress'ng the east wall. Mr. Fowler pointed out to the group that Millard has a backlog of school building needs of at least twenty years.

Second Round of Polio Campaign Is Rousing Success The second round of the KO POLIO PO-LIO campaign is a rousing success as a result of the magnificent support sup-port of the weekly papers all over the state, according to Dr. Alan P. Macfarlane, chairman of the program. pro-gram. The weekly papers along with dailies and radio stations and television stations went all out to make this community project a huge success. With many make-up clinics yet to report, the state total was 748,-003 748,-003 or about 78.4 of the state's population. This includes about 17,000 who had the Type III polio vaccine before last week's clinics. "There is no question now that with the make-up clinics, and the reports from the hospitals, nursing homes and institutions, that the total will be boosted another 15,000 to 20,000 to easily take, it over the goal of 80," reports Dr. Macfarlane. Macfar-lane. The results are particularly surprising, sur-prising, considering the extremely bad weather experienced the two days of the program. Most of the public held off Saturday expecting better weather on Sunday. Sunday was even worse, but the families turned out regardless for a tremendous tremen-dous rush that pushed the total to about the same as the opening round. Second Round KO POLIO Campaign Cam-paign total for Millard County was 6,414 which is 86.7.

Ml,. TvT are known to withdraw water from the unconfined aquifer and the report re-port was limited to a discussion of the effects of pumping a well tapping tap-ping one artesian aquifer on the piezometric surfaces of the water in both artesian aquifers. Well logs indicate that many beds of sand, silt, clay and a small quantity of fine gravel form two ! artes an aquifers. These artesian aquifers are seperated by an aqui-clude aqui-clude or formation impeding the vertical movement of water, consisting con-sisting of about 100 to 175 feet of clay, silt and sand. The upper or shallow artesian aquifer consists of about 300 to 400 feet of satu- rated material, of which 75 to 250 feet is sand and gravel. The shal- low artesian aquifer ranges from about 50 to 450 feet below land sunace. ine lower or ueep artesian aquifer consists of about 300 to 400 feet of saturated material, of which 250 to 300 feet is sand and gravel. The deep artesian aquifer ranges from about 500 to more than 900 feet below land surface. The effects on the shallow artesian ar-tesian aquifer by withdrawing water wa-ter from the deep artesian aquifer was observed over a period of three months. It was concluded by Mr. Mower that pumping from wells tapping either the deep or the shallow artesian ar-tesian aquifer caused small water-level water-level declines in wells tapping the other aquifer and larger declines in wells tapping the aquifer being pumped. To minimize water-level declines in wells tapping the shallow shal-low artesian aquifer, it may be desirable de-sirable to complete future wells in the shallow aquifer to depths of less than about 350 feet and to limit perforations of irrigation wells tapping the deep artesian aquifer to depths greater than 575 feet the report concluded.
