Show Universal Microfilm Cov9. 111 Pierpont Ave. PLC, Utah 84101 PRESS TIME By George Two weeks ago we published in this column a letter from Mr. Walter D. Talbot, Deputy Superintendent for Adminis tration for the State Board of Education which had been sent to all of the Superintendents of the local school boards in the state. VOLUME In his letter, Mr. Talbot re commended the adoption of new standards for the schools of Utah including minimum enrollment in elementary schools of 25 students per class and a minimum of 75 students per grade in secondary schools. In order to form these standards upon reluctant school boards, Mr. Talbot recommends that special school units now being given to those small schools in the state be stopped. Then, in order to encourage the local boards to comply, he recommends that boards which are receiving special units for small schools should continue to receive those special units if they go along with his consolidation program. Although it is doubtful that Mr. Talbot has ever set foot in Beaver County, unless he made a trip stop on his way to Las Vegas, it appears that' this county and its schools are apt to be vitally effected by his study and recommendations Here is a chart showing the I -student enrollment in the five I schools of Beaver County: 1966-G- 7 K. t SCHOOL f f Students Belknap Elem.

Ostler New Practices Assure Named New District Grass Stand Scout Executive stands of grasses Improved seeded this fall and next ' spring for pasture are possible with the novel combination of two range management practices, according to Karl G. Parker, Utah State University Extension range specialist. Controlled depth of grass seed placement and grass seed treatment are sugested by Parker on the basis of research work in which better stands of grass were obtained and the time between seeding and grazing was shortened. For the rancher who is short of time this fall, Parker said, the best and quickest way to adapt grain drills for seeding grass is to buy depth regulator bands and fasten them to the disks of the grain drill. If commercially fabricated bands are not available the rancher with a farm shop can manufacture his own, using ordinary strap iron, anele iron and a few stove bolts. j 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Free.
