If your goal is simply maximum production, you can obtain it by applying water to meet plant needs through surface, sprinkle or trickle (drip) irrigation. Research has shown that equally high production can be obtained from any of these methods. Maximum production results when the crop is able to obtain the amount of water it needs, regardless of how it is applied. However, if your goal is to get high production with less water, you must seek means of increasing water-usefficiency. Greatest savings in amount of water used have been achieved with trickle irrigation with about 85 percent less efficiency. In comparison, than 40 percent is uaually obtained with most surface irrigation. Studies have shown that only about 30 to 35 gallons of water out of every 100 gallons of water applied to the land by surface methods was actually reaching and being used by the crop. In areas where water is really scarce and expensive, trickle irrigation is increasing rapidly. In the past five years, about 72,000 acres have been put under this method of irrigation in the United States. There are at least two trickle irrigation installations in Utah now. Though this method has been used on nearly every crop; it has greatest appeal for orchardists. Their installation costs of a trickle system to irrigate the trees is only s the cost of a about solid-se- t sprinkler system. USU irrigation engineers point out that good design is important on any irrigation system to get the water where it is needed and the amounts needed to maximize efficiency and production. Design is of prime importance with a tr.k!e system to proviuc an adequate water supply thai is free of sediment that clogs the drip e two-third- it will not require the high pressure necessary for pers. However, sprinkling. Sprinkling is meeting many people's goal of bringing under irrigation land that was highly difficult or impossible to irrigate otherwise. Irrigation engineers say that at the present rate of increase, 80 irrigated land ling by 1980. of the percent will be by sprink- Water-us- e efficiency depends heavily on both design factors and how the system is operated. Though other methods may have higher potential for increasing efficienty, much is being done to accomplish this with surface irrigation timed to fill the soil water reservoir in the crop root zone. Concrete ditches, good water control structures, installed water measuring devices, gated pipe, siphon tubes and automated dams, all are being used to save either water or labor or both. Reuse of tail water that runs off from the field offers one of the greatest potentials of saving water. By catching it in a settling pond and piping it back to the head of the field, it can be used again and avoid the environmental objection of sediment-ladeirrigation water going back into the streams. n Water Supply Outlook for '75 The March 1;""1975, y outlook for the Beaver River is forecast at 84 of . average for Figures released by the Soil Conservation Service show the snow cover at 97 of average with below average precipitation and soil moisture.

By carefully reading the descriptions of the varieties you w ill get a fair idea of the better varieties which are available. Dr. Alvin Hamson, extension horticulturist. Utah State University, says the seed for the newer, better varieties may cost more than the old common varieties. But he feels that you will be greatly rewarded for the additional expenses with greater uniform ity, disease resistance, earliness and better eating quality of the new hybrids. He said, "Once you have made a new discovery such as Zucchini Elite summer squash, Spaghetti squash. Early Girl hybrid tomato which matures full size tomatoes in 45 days, or Jubilee sweet corn, the corn with exceptional quality for main season production, you will not be content with the old standby varieties you have known for years. Each year you will be constantly looking for the best new developments available." If you have a large garden or facilities for proper storage, Dr. Hamson explained that you can save money purchasing seed in bulk or larger packets from seed companies which handle it that way. Otherwise, it is advisable to purchase the small packets that have a picture of the vegetable and brief instructions for planting and care. Because of the cost of printing the packets and weighing enough seeds for some carry-ove- r to the next season. "For $20 or less you may purchase enough seed to plant a garden large enough to return $500 worth of vegetables in one season. You should have enough vegetables for summer use and for canning, freezing, dehydrating, pickling, and storing to add greatly to the familv's winter food supply. Even if space is severely limited, you can grow vegetables you particularly enjoy in a flower border, patio-typ- e garden, planter box, or a spaded sunny portion of the lawn. Obtain information on varieties recommended for Utah and on companies that .have excellent seed catalogues from your local county extension agent. BLM to Discuss Easter Seal The Bureau of Land Management, Cedar City District, will hold two public meetings to discuss management of national resource lands in the Pinyon Unit. The first meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 25, 1975, at 8 p.m., at the Community Building in Beryl Junction. The second meeting will be held at the Cedar City Public Library on Wednesday, March 26, 1975, at 8 p.m. The Pinyon Unit is located mainly in western Iron County. It also includes portions of northwestern Washington County and southwestern Beaver County. Some of the better know landmarks are the Escalante Desert, Mt. Elinor, Hamblin Valley, and the Indian Peaks. The communities of Enterprise, Modena, and Beryl junction are located within ..the planning area. .. .Sum,, of, the,. topics to be discussed at the meeting are wild horse management, energy programs, alunite development, big game habitat, range improvements, and utilization of woodland products. The BLM welcomes attendance and participation by anyone who has an interest in the management of public lands. The public is encouraged to make either or oral comments wrift res,? at ce inventory data, specific problems or conflicts, and recommendations management to which may apply to the P inyon Unit. According to Harold Isaac- son, BLM District Manager, "management decisions will not be made until the public has had a chance to express their opinions. Our decisions must consider the needs of all the people who are using the land." onions, sweet corn and parsnips lose viability rapidly.

"I hope the new law is more than a finger in the dike," B. Attorney General Vernon Romney said, adding, "it promises to be an important deterrent to this skyrocketing crime." A provision holding the shoplifter civilly liable for three times the value of the merchandise up to $1000 was excluded before the bill's passage. Key steps forward in curbing shoplifting through the new law include strong provisions protecting the merchant against suits for false arrest and a provision that parents or legal guardians of are minors caught shoplifting liable for merchandise civilly taken, court costs and attorney fees. The law states that, "no merchant shall be criminally or civilly held liable on account of having made such a request." The statute gives the merchant liberty, without fear of lawsuit, to hold a suspected shoplifter in custody to retain the merchandise and inform the police. Wayne Bently, president of Utah Retail Merchant's Association, said enforcement of the new law is expected to retail theft. curtial seriously He cited a changing system of moral values and disrespect for Equal Opportunity Company laws. From Washington to Florida, from Maine to California, shoplifting losses cost American businessmen nearly $4 billion a year. While behaviorists and psychologists research the whys and w herefores of the crime, shoplifting continues to be the "fastest growing larceny violation in the March nation, according to the hederal 1 Bureau of Investigation, Bentley 20, pointed out. Existing crime statistics show a 221 percent increase in shoplifting since 1960, he said. "Common reasons why people shoplift include temptation, support of drug and alcoholic habits, peer group pressure, kleptomania known as and professionals, boosters, who steal to order," Bentley said. He added that according to official sources. 90 percent of are amateurs with shoplifters boosters making up the remaining 10 percent. "Everybody pays for the shoplifter with higher food and merchandise costs. The average shopper in this country is actually :' subsidizing shoplifters to the tune of about $35 a year," the Utah 1 merchant chief said. "No one can turn their back on this great problem. Financial repercussions effect young and old. businessman and farmer," he concluded. An application to withdraw 5000 acres of highly scenic corridor along the Green River from all forms of appropriation, entry or occupation has been filed by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Buieau ot Land Management. Paul L. Howard, BLM state director for Utah, sa'.d the withdrawal would be tor 4VV7.12 acres in Daggett county between the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area and the Colorado state line.

Recreation activities in the area such as boating, fishing, hunting, hiking and sightseeing will not be affected by the withdrawal. The BLM state director noted the proposed withdrawal would prohibit all forms of appropriation or entry. Also prohibited would be surface use and occupancy under the mineral leasing laws. However, the withdrawal would not prevent compatible leasing tinder the federal mineral leasing laws or other licenses, leases or permits. Mr. Howard added that any such leasing would be subject to appropriate stringent protective stipulation.

Rolfe Peterson, who now resides in San Francisco, will be hosting the local portion of the telethon and his will be Danny Kramer, a KSL announcer who did such an outstanding job with the telethon last year. Rolfe Peterson will be remembered as the host of several radio and TV shows on KSL during the 1950's, moving to San Francisco in 1960. He is currently the critic of movies, plays, and television for both KPIX-TV- , a CBS outlet in San Francisco, and KSFO Radio, one of the top radio stations in that market. Peter Falk is the national chairman for the Easter Seal Telethon which will originate in Los Angeles March 22 and 23. After his performance for twenty full hours in 1974, Peter saw tremendous possibilities for the Telethon as a means of not only r; ;rg Jolluri to support Easier Stu! services, but also of making the public more conscious of the work of tne Easter Seal Society across the country.
