L. Martineau, county agricultural agent steps were taken toward an active weed control campaign in Salt Lake county. The committee members Will be asked by the farm bureau to promote an active campaign in their respective communities to control white-top and other noxious weeds. It was pointed out by Mr. Hansen that there had been no state appropriation to carry on weed control work, B.D.d that lhe problem was entirely up to the individual farmer and local community interest. Control measures recommended f or "white-top'' are cutting and burning, or the plowing unde r of infested areas. Such measures will prevent the maturing and spread of noxious Weed Seeds. Areas Where Weeds have been plowed under should be summer fallowed during the rest of the summer. Such fields should be cultivated often enough to prevent any green gro wth. Irrigation water should be kept off all infested areas by back-furrowing to make a temporary levee. Attention was called to the fact that much of the spread of weed seed is caused by the infestation of hay, straw and manure; and farmers are to be warned against the purchase of infested products. It was pointed out that sheep trails should be cleared of all noxious weeds, as stock are a means of wide dissemi~ nation of weed seed.

REPEAL MASS MEET CALLED Gathering t o U r g e Death of State, U. S. Dry Laws A mass meeting to "solidify public sentiment and action toward resubmission of the state and national prohibition statutes" will be held at McCullough's arena in Salt Lake the night of June 21. The date and plans for the meeting, sponsored by the Crusaders, national antiprohibition organization, was set Tuesday night at a meeting in Salt Lake. Details of the mass gathering are being worked out by Clarence Bamberger, state commander of the Crusaders. Resolutions adopted by the meeting will be determined by whatever action may be taken in the meantime by Governor Henry H. Blood in the matter of resubmisslon. The governor indicated he hoped to announce a decision on a special session this week, but did not indicate whether resubmission would be on the agenda if a session is called. A number of speakers at Tuesday night's meeting urged antiprohibitionists to marshal their forces on repeal and that the fight be carried on on the basis of the right of the people to express themselves on prohibition, both state and national. Chris Greenhagen, avowed wet legislator of Salt Lake, said at the meetIng that In his opinion the last legislature acted unfairly tn not allowing the people to vote on state prohibition. Antiprohibitionists from all parts of the state are expected to attend the mass meeting and make their demands known.

A good orchestra has been engaged and a large patronage ts expected. Faced with ruin unless water from Utah lake is granted them, farmers of this region numbering more than 400 are pelad!ng with state and Salt Lake City officials to save their crops by allowing secondary users to draw water from the lake. As a result of a meeting a.t the Jordan high school last Saturday, ' two resolutions have been drawn up seeking relief and settlement of the tangled water situation arising out of the claims of primary and secondary users and the shortage of lake water. A 1000-word resolution first was directed to Governor Henry H. Blood, State Engineer T. H. Humpherys, the Associated Canal companies and Salt Lake City, a.sking that water be granted immediately and without delay. The plea was based on the assertion of rights of the Draper Irrigation company, the Sandy Canal company and the Utah Lake Distributing company to use a total of 200 second~ feet of water under a filing on Utah lake made more than 20 years ago. One of the biggest battles over water in the history of the state is developing in this region and the action of the meeting is regarded as one of the first steps In the fight over the supply basin for both farm and city uso>-Utah lake. The farmers at the meeting represented users of the Draper Irrigation company, the Sandy Canal company, the Utah Lake Distributing company and those interested in the high line pumping plants and the Murdock interests. Following this resolution closely came another Monday from the users (continued on Another Page) Descendants Of Robert Holt To Hold Reunion Descendants of Robert Holt w1ll hold a family reunion tomorrow with a full day's program beginning a.t Liberty park In Salt Lake at 1:30 p. m. and with an evening program at 7:30 p. m. at the Gt'o.nite stake amusement hall, 1989 Ninth East street.
