Some of these funds were allocated to the Bureau of Reclamation to be expended to Reclamation projects. The officials of Region 4 of the Bureau of Reclamation, after a conference with officials of Moon Lake Water Users Association (Moon Lake Project) entered into a contract with the Moon Lake project for the lining of a section of the Yellowstone Feeder Canal on an experimental basis, So as to have comparative costs on concrete lining and also to have information on maintenance costs along with the other two types of lining, it was decided to install 550 feet of concrete lining. The design for this concrete section was prepared under the direction of C. W. Ike thlrJc dike Lauritzen, in charge of research, Soil Conservation Service, Mu Lauritzen and his per ca soqnel supplied the technical supervision for the placing of this concrete lining, and the contractor was Vernon Hurst, of Foreign Pe!icy Spanish Fork.

The well-know- n native of Utah and writer on conservation says the Forest Services Desert Experimental Range has proved n that seriously impaired desert range can be brought back into production simply by grazing fewer sheep on. it. The experimental plots restored themselves, he sags. Stockmen who use the plots, DeVoto adds, have learned that though they graze a third fewer sheep, they make more money than they did by overgrazing. At a smaller overhead they get more wool and meat and lose far fewer lambs. The public and other stock-mehave yet to learn the lesson, DeVoto continues. He says: Utah is caught between between public education and the arrest of its promise; between, it may be, public education and disaster. So is the whole West.

The more than $1,500 00 saving on the cots of assessing was due chiefly to the direct mail method of assessing. Landowners and last years taxpayers in this county were mailed personal property statements to fill out declaring their ownership of taxable personal property.
