The sides of the brooder generally are about 3V4 feet long, nailed or bolted together at right angles, with the top of the hover constructed of lumber, insulating board or metal. The brooder usually has a 2x4 inch board or metallic guard across the front to give it additional strength and provide an opening or doorway approximately 8 inches high through which pigs enter the electrically heated hover Brooders should be constructed strongly enough and so securely installed that there will be no danger of them being upset by sows brushing against them Although a 14 or 16 inch dome type of reflector is considered the most effective, other varieties may have to be substituted 'until the most desirable type is again available. The reflector should be bolted securely on and injury. top of the hover, with the hole in the top about 1 inch smaller than the diameter of the reflector The brooder should be in a place a day or two before farrowing time, the floor covered with two or three inches of litter, such as crushed corn cobs or chopped hay, and the light turned on a few hours before the pigs arrive. Farmers may find it necessary to place newly born pigs in the brooder and block the entrance for a short time to get them used to their new surroundings. The cost of supplying electric hea varies with the climate and the type of farrowing house used. However, tests show that costs generally do not exceed 36 kilowatt hours of electric power pei litter Experiments conducted by agricultural experiment stations record that an a more pigs half one and average of aie saved per litter when electric brooders are used This amounts to 30.5 percent more pork on the way at weaning time. Further tests showed that electric brooders reduced death losses of early spring pigs by 17.4 percent, while loss from chilling was lowered to 2.2 percent. sura n, y, Uintah Basin Is Rapidly Bccming An Important ScUl'Ce of Milk SUDDlV Uintah Basin, formerly one of the most backward dairy sections of the state is rapidly climbing to the front as a milk producing u Mrs. May Gines returned home Saturday, after spending 10 days the Heber hospital recovering to in & major opration By George According' to unofficial reports from Lynn Ross, Board Member of the Uintah Basin Soil Confor servation District, the voting folDistrict Supervisors was as lows: J.

The three highest candidates will be declared elected, and the State Soil Conservation Committee will appoint two members to make up the live-ma- n board. These supervisors will have full charge of the District program. They receive the major part of their assistance from the Soil Conservation Service, such as trained conservation specialists, and limited some equipment, amounts of grass seed and trees control plantings. for erosion They also cooperate with other agencies in working out soil and water conservation problems within the District. A school is being planned for all district supervisors throughout the state of Utah where problems of district organization and management will be discussed. Dr. Walter C. Lauuermilk, a world - recognized conservationist will be the principal speaker at this school. He comes from Washington, D. C. Other speakers will be extension specialists from the Agricultural College, and State otficials. It is hoped that there will be five sfflervisois from the Uintas Basin, along with the County Agents from Duchesne and Uintah Counties, who will attend this school. iLyman H.

BEETS, Pierces Sliced No 2 size, 2 for First Few Days Are Hardest on Early Spring Pigs, Tests Show d Butter! Butter! Where Is The Butter? DDT AND BEES Unofficial Election Returns From The Soil Conservation District F. Knowiton serMany Utah beekeepers felt DDT new when the concern ious insecticide was announced. With its devastating effect in the control of flies, mosquitoes, fleas, beetles, lice and many other insects, the beekeepers were justified in wondering as to the effect this new chemical might have on the honeybees of this region. A number of Utah beekeepeprs have requested information about the effect of DDT on bees. Dr. A. P. Sturtevant, apicul-turis- t, Division of Bee Culture, U. S. Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, Laramie, Wyoming, has released the following statement prepared by the chief of Division, Mr. J. I. Hambleton: Small scale laboratory tests by this division have shown DDT to be a stomach poison for honeybees at a concentration of about 0.05 per cent, and to be toxic when sprayed on surfaces at a concentration of about 1 percent. It apparently has no repellent effect, at least, in the usual sense of the word. Field tests to date have failed to give alarming results. Observations by us this summer, on colonies located In cotton fields in Texas and alfalfa fields in Arizona, that were dusted by airplane with 10 per cent DDT at the rate of about 15 pounds to the acre, revealed no ill effects. As a matter off act, in the Texas experiments the entrance to a hive was heavily dusted with DDT and still the colony appeared normal several weeks later. A colony in a Pennsylvania forest, subjected to spraying with DDT this summer in a test by our Bureau, apparently suffered no ill effect. In a test last year by Canadian from bees collected workers, buckwheat blossoms sprayed with DDT lived just as long as bees taken from unsprayed blossoms. A large scale control program with DDT was earned out in potato fields this Washington summer with no complaints from beekeepers. As a matter of fact, no we have as yet received authenticated reports that bees have been wiped out or seriously injured in any field tests involving DDT. Since the problem may vary in different localities, observations must continue over a wide range of conditions before the final answer is reached. This is true regardless of the encouraging results from field tests thus far. We do feel, however, since fewer applications of DDT are needed than of arsenical insecticides, that the use of DDT will at least prove no greater menace Behind Your Bonds Lies Removing the point require- ments from the purchase of butter has not made that product any easier to find. On the contrary, most housewives are finding their favorite spread harder than ever to get. This scarcity js causing those homemakers to ask what has become of the butter. The answer is not hard to find, states the National Dairy Council. The removel by the government of restrictions on fluid milk sales sent consumption of that e product, already at an high, to still greater levels. At the same time the removal of the restrictions on sales of fluid cream and Ice cream sent consumption of those products soaring and made still further inroads upon the amount of milk and cream available for butter manufacture. In October only eightj'-nin-e million pounds of factory-mad- e butter were made in the United States as compared with one hundred million pounds in the same month of 1944, and over one hundred thirty six million i I i all-tim- i I J pounds in October of 1941. Even though milk production is at the highest levels in history, the de- mands for milk, ice cream and fluid cream, all of which return a higher price to the farmer, are so high as to leave less milk for the manufacturing of : I f butter than at any time in the years. The Am- past twenty-fiv- e trican people cant have their Lutterfat in other forms and have butter too. There is encouragement, how- ever, for those who crave the flavor and taste of butter as a spread, on vegetables and in cooking. The seasonal low point in fluid milk production for the year is passing. The total amount of milk produced will increase gradually until next June, and with it butter produc- tion is expected to increase to nearly twice as much in the month of June as in November, Motor Accidents vehicle accidents killed 23,400 persons in 1943, the lowest total since 1926, when the same num- ber were killed. This total repre- sents a 17 per cent decrease from 1942, a 41 per cent decrease from prewar 1941 and a 25 per cent de-crease from 10 years ago. There were 800,000 non-fatinjuries dur-ing the year. Deaths and injuries together are estimated to have' cost the nation $700,000,000 in lost income, medical expense and insurance costs; and another $550,000,000 property damage.
