', -- Fred-erickse- m Dider-ickse- Dryland A rea Damaged by SpringRun-of- f On Tuesday, March 29th the snow melted and ran in Blue Creek. The soil was frozen and the water ran off. The run off has been worse in other years. The picture is of Blue Creek just above the point where the creek empties into the Howell Reservoir. Just another runoff. Yes. Just what flow lasted only five hours. It does it mean to Blue Creek and the Howell Reservoir? A water sample was taken last Tuesday and sent to the college for analysis. What did it show? For each acre foot of water there was being deposited 30 tons of silt in the Howell Reservoir. Also 1680 pounds of humus which contained 84 pounds of the essential plant food element nitrogen. Cook and Thompson, "technicians from the Soil Conservation Service through measurements calculated the volume of runoff. At the crest of the flow there were 306 cubic feet per second of water flowing down Blue Creek. In 1948 the crest reached 800 c.f.s. They discussed the length of time the runoff occurred with J. Edgar Deakin, Albert Acbis- Qher and Gerard Sampson," These men state that water has run in the creek for a period of thirty five hours during the last ten days. Their estimates indicate that the maximum flowed a.t about half the maxi. mum for fifteen hours and from zero to one half flow for another fifteen hours. Cook has calculated that about 373 acre feet of water has run into the Howell Reservoir. This water deposited a total of 11,190 tons of silt in the reservoir which contained 31,332 pounds of nitrogen and 313 tons of humus. The nitrogen would cost $4386 to replace. This can be done but the humus cannot be replaced. The humus is the life of the soil and when it is gone you just don't raise any more crops. One of the Blue Creek farmers has said in confidence that he was going to present a bill to the Howell water users for this nitrogen. However, the Howell water users might present him with a bill for filling their reservoir full of silt. All this damage might have been prevented had the dry cropland been strip cropped and the stubble strip bladod or chisled last fall. The dry farmer Considered By County Road work considered . by commissioners Several road projects within the county were under consideration by the county commissioners at their meeting Monday night. A representative from Portage was told that the oiling of the road from Portage north to the state line was in the program for this year, if time would permit The town of Portage is to pay for the road work within the limits of the town, however. A request from a Promontory man for payment on road work he had done in "that area was denied, as the work had not been authorized by the commissioners. Changes in the bridge construction on the road west of here were authorized on request of the contractors. Seek Penalty Reflind - Hunsaker Sand and Gravel made a request to recover more than $3200 withheld as penalty for failure to complete the work on the Iowa String and Malad bridge on time. The commissioners advised the company to contact the federal government, who participate in that project, and if the obligation is recognized by them, the matter could then be brought before the commissioners again.; Spraying Finance Approved An agreement was signed between the county and the ASC committee regarding Darticiua- uon hi v the spraying program for , noxious weeds, .within the county. The committee asked to put into effect a program such as was carried out a few years ago, wherein they would assist farmers in paying for the cost of weed control. All such work is to be supervised and handled through the regular weed control committee of the county. A request for expense funds by the Golden Spike committee was granted, with the authorization of bills for programs and stationery, and the committee advised to contact the two county chamber of Commerce and the Associated Civic Clubs for help. The nomination of Byron E. Stallings as director of the Corinne Drainage District was confirmed during the meeting. He replaces Roy Forsgren in the position. To Attend Meet The commissioners authorized the assessor to attend the National Convention of Assessors to be held at Witchita, Kansas, April 21 to 23, and agreed to pay for meals and transportation for welfare board members who wished to attend the convention at the state capitol April 27 - 30. ; ( , Road Work , , , Auto Dealers 7; rzzyZ Plan Spring Fashion Show Not only will milady's Easter clothes be a note of fashion this week, but local automobile dealers are inviting the general public to visit their showrooms to view the latest color combin, aions, and the new body styles 4 t stream was costly EXPENSIVE STREAM This run-of- f l to the farmers of the Blue area.

Fortunately for 'our vast wheat producing area and the businessmen of Tremonton and Garland there is a distinct movement by a g large number of ranchers to go in for strip cropping.

This event is held in connection with the state and national Auto Dealers Association drive to bring attention of the buying public to the fact that established, permanent dealers are here to serve them year after year, and that better, safer buys, es' pecially in used cars, can be secured from your local dealer. J. H. Fronk, chairman, on behalf of the local auto dealers issues a cordial invitation to the public to visit local showrooms during the next week. |
