Garn Holbrook, district supervisor; Douglas Smith, Grant Smith Glen Smith and Roosevelt Smith, went over their farms in Cedar Valley, accompanied by Howard Ivory, agronomist; Evan Thompson, County Agent S. R. Boswell and H. D. Hansen, soil conservationist The Alpine Soil Conservation District had requested the services of Evan D. Thompson, unit conservationist from the Soil Conservation Service at Tremonton, to aid in the study of erosion problems in Cedar Valley, and their possible solution. Mr. Holbrook, who is chairman of the educational committee of the district, reported that the spring snow runoff has been very light, due to the cold weather. However, some runoff and erosion did occur and it appears It can be greatly reduced by working the ground after harvest with the "Noble Blade." The most serious erosion occurs from the summer rains and on the steeper slopes, he said. When the slope of land increases from two to four per cent, the erosion effects on the soil increases about 64 times. Also the soil structure which determines the rate that water will enter the soil is bro ken down when it is disturbed. Therefore, the method of cultivation that does not disturb the surface is by far the best method to increase the permeability of the soil and decrease erosion. List Best Practices The practices recommended for Cedar Valley were as follows: 1. Stubble mulch farming preferably with the "Noble Blade" and sweeps, using a rod weeder only if the weeds become very large. This applies to all dry farm lands. 2. Contour farming. 3. Contour farming with alternate strips of grain, fallow, grass and legume, with alfalfa recommended as the legume content. 4. Contour farming with diversion terraces which empty onto grassed waterways. Garn Holbrook plans to construct some diversion terraces and grassed strips during this season's program. Roosevelt Smith plans to construct and plant a grassed water way. Douglas Smith will continue the study on the structure of the heavier soils which at present are presenting an erosion problem. Glen and Grant Smith, along with The Lehi Free Press A weekly newspaper devoted to the interests and welfare of Lehi City their contour stubble mulch work, plan to get some of their drainages seeded to grasses and legume plants this year. Eleven SCS personnel and Co. Agent S. R. Boswell went out on the morning training tour held in Cedar Valley in the morning. Included were conservationists from Nephi, Payson and Provo. Noble Blade a Revolutionary Method The "Noble Blade," which was developed in Canada is a revolutionary method which almost completely replaces the plow in dry farming. Mr. Holbrook explained. It tills the ground, leaving a straw mulch on top of the soil and tends to eliminate wind and water erosion. It consists of a heavy blade 12 to 14 feet in length which is placed in the ground to a depth of six or eight inches. The slope and type of steel used produces the long wearing qualities of the machine. Four of these machines purchased at a cost of $1,000 each, are now in use on the large dry farms in Cedar Valley. The tour was conducted primarily .to determine the value of the new machine. .

But today he'd be lost trying to meet the requirements of a modern blacksmith at Utah Copper's Machine Shop in Bingham Canyon. At the shop, the modern smith swings a thousand hammers at once to handle such jobs as converting an old locomotive axle into a boot jack for an electric shovel. And he does it because, instead of using his own muscles, he commands the crushing strength of a two-to- n air h An blacksmith's hammer, lathes, boring mills and many other machines are on the job keeping mining equipment in good working order. The 150 men who work in the acre and a half machine shop are part of the team of 6,000 who produce copper in Utah. Where does the money come from to pay the men and buy the expensive equipment housed in the Machine Shop? It comes from one source only. By selling copper at a profit, Utah Copper is able to spend the money needed to repair and maintain equipment. Profits buy new equipment and pay for developing better mining, milling and refining methods. When Utah Copper sells its product profitably, it continues the operations that produce prosperity for people living in every section of our state. old-tim- household fabrics need spring cleaning, too!
