Permission was given to Principals Jay Stokes, Myrl Perry, Glen Marble and Robert Morgan to attend the Elementary Principals' conference to be held continued on back page Ditch Lining Proj ect Started By Local Construction Firm The first successful attempt of ditch lining with cement in this area was carried out last week on the Parley and Warren Holmgren farm in Bear River City. Germer, Abbott and Waldron, local construction firm have purchased suitable equipment and plan to make this a major part of their business in this area. l Bright Future According to Evan Thompson of the Soil Conservation (Service, indications are that this method of water conservation bids well to become a farm practice that will equal or exceed land leveling which has been carried on in the valley the past several years. Several years ago the North Elwood Irrigation Company constructed ' a cement lined ditch, but this was done by moveable forms. With the equipment owned by Germer, Abbott and Waldron, after the location of the ditch has been decided upon, the proper grade and fill computed, a ditcher then excavates a ditch to the exact depth and size desired to carry the necessary amount of water required to irrigate the land. The slip form carrying a large hopper, fits the excavated ditch. A ready mix cement is poured into the hopper from mixer trucks, and the slip is pulled by tractor. The weight of the fresh cement causes it to leave the slip in just the right amount to cover the sides and bottom, lining the canal with about 2Vi inches of mixed cement of just the right consistency to set solid under the presure exerted by the slip. The canal at the Holmgren farm was 12 inches wide at the bottom and 5 feet at the top, having a 1 to 1 slope and was designed to carry 5.4 cf of water, 18 inches deep. The ditch has a fall of 4 inches for each 100 lineal feet, with 1.39 cubic feet of concrete per foot. The canal was 1380 feet in length and required 71 cubic yards of concrete.
