Check List for Kite-Flying Safety When brisk March winds give Junior the urge to turn kite-pilot make sure he enjoys h s fun in safety. Here's a safety check list for kite flyers offered by Clair J. Hadley, manager of Telluride Division for Utah Power and Light Co., who urges parents to "be sure their child ren observe these precautions: Fly kites in plenty of open space, and never fly kites near electric wires and poles. Never use tinsel string, wire or any twine with metal in it! Never fly a kite with metal in the frame or tail! Never fly kites in rainy weather! Never run across streets or highways high-ways while flying kites! Never fly kites over television or radio aerials! Never fly a kite with wet string. Water is one of the best conductors of electricity! Use only dry cotton string and dry cloth in kite tails! If a kite does become entangled in electric power lines, leave it there! Do not touch the string, or in any other manner attempt to get it down. Report kites caught in wires and poles to your nearest power company office. Why mall order?

West Millard Riding Club to Sponsor Horse Shoe Clinic A horse is no better than his feet. A horse's feet require proper care, including shoeing aimed to keep each foot in a condition as nearly normal as possible. A person should understand how a horse's feet are put together and how they function before attempt ing to fit them with shoes. Such instruc:ion and practical workshop experience with participant's partici-pant's horses is included in a USU Extension horse shoeing course conducted by Mr. Beebe and Dr. Don Thomas, USU Extension Veterinarian. Veter-inarian. Approximately twelve hours are required to cover the material in the course, with about four hours spent on the basic anatomy and physiology of the feet and legs; instruction on shoeing and making shoes for various conditions will re-qu're re-qu're eight hours. Some of the material covered in this course is: fitting forged shoes, corrective shoeing such as, founder ring bone, side bone, winging, pad dling and speed cutting. Also shoeing shoe-ing for cutting, roping and pleasure plea-sure horses will be demonstrated. Various methods of restraint are also shown. The course offered will require a minimum of fifteen registrants at a charge of $15.00 each. The proposed course will be held May llth-15th. Because of farm work and other employment during the day, it is further proposed to be held in the evening perhaps in the Delta Livestock Auction Ring.

V- Conservation District's Have Lively Meeting The annual meeting of Zone Five Conservation Districts was held Tuesday in the Delta Elementary School with Kenneth Porter, Delta SCD Chairman, in charge of the program. Ariel Jorgensen, commissioner of agriculture opened the meeting with brief remarks. Highlighting the morning session was a panel discussion on Factors Influencing Water Yields from Watersheds. Wa-tersheds. Appearing on the panel were Gregory Pearson, State Soil Conservationist; Joel Fletcher, Pro fessor of Civil and Irrigation Engineering; Engi-neering; Max Robison, watershed specialist, of Forest Service and Roger Walker, Pres'dent of Abraham Abra-ham Irrigation Co. Questions treated by the panelists panel-ists included: How does livestock numbers on watershed affect water yield? How does plan's affect water wa-ter yields. How does plant cover affect water yield? Mr. Pearson discussed runoff and water losses. He presented charts and graphs illustrating three major ma-jor losses of water on the water shed, deep-percolation, evaporation and transpiration. Mr. Fletcher said that frozen soils have a great deal to do with the water yield for irrigation purposes. Shade protection, wind and other factors were also discussed by Mr. Fletcher. He pointed out that snow fences put on strategic areas would increase water yield because of the frozen ground condition and concentration con-centration of snow. A particularly interesting slide was shown by Mr. Fletcher. It showed little penetration penetra-tion was taking place where there was no plant growth and a great deal of penetration was evident where plant roots are established. He emphasized that the more plant cover there was the less runoff. He also, emphasized that grass keeps soil frozen because of the protective protec-tive cover later in the spring and thus increases the water yield. Max Robison's discussion re-emphasized the things that had al ready been presented earlier. He made a statement that irrigation water down at the farm is a result of 95 runoff conditions or from snow pack usually. He intimated that increased grazing equals in creased runoff. Removal of vegeta- t'on equals immediate effect in in creased runoff. He showed a chart emphasizing that grass with the shorter root development than trees and shrubs would lend itself to more runoff where grass was present. Mr. Walker emphasized that any thing that could be done up the Sevier River to increase runoff would be of benefit to this area. Anything that was done up th river to hold back the water would be detrimental to this area. Craig Gilbert of the Sevier River Basin Water Study recommended to this area that salt cedars near reservoirs be killed through coop erative financial efforts. Local irri gation water is being used by these trees. Estimated cost of controlling salt cedars is $5.00 per acre.

Young Girl Victim of Mistaken Identity A young girl was apparently the victim of mistaken identity on the streets of Delta one night last week. The girl, 11 years old, was returning home after a show when a car drove up along side of her and a voice called to her to get in. According to Chief of Police Tony Callister the young girl, greatly frightened, ran behind the Rancher Motel and the car, containing three youths, aged 20, 18 and 16 pulled into the driveway adjoining the motel.

They stated that they thought the younger girl was an older one whom they knew. Chief Callister said that parents of the young girl have dropped charges against the three but at the request of one of the boys' parents the matter will be referred to a juvenile hearing. Pvt.
