Madsen If the present temperature, together with the hot, dry winds continue, our stream beds will be dry by August the first. The engineers will have apportioned to the various units the water to which they are entitled. Many farmers will be short and some canals will be shut off completely. This shortage is ironical, when this spring, as in years gone by, there were thousands of acre feet of water that found its way into the Green River. This wasted spring run-of- f held back by the simple method of storage and distributed through a practical system of irrigation would convert these many thousands of fertile acres, which are now baren waste, into a highly productive area. Im certain many will agree with me that the Central Utah Project is not the answer to our problem. In the words of their president, it could be ten or twenty and perhaps fifty years before we can realize any relief from the Central Utah Project. By that time California will have developed its irrigation system to a point where its canals will carry all the surplus water in the Colorado. The Secretary of the Interior has decreed that the first to make beneficial use of water has an undisputed right to it. There is also a decree that the land in which the water rises and through which it flows has the first right to the water. We could create irrigation districts and tax the land up to $50.00 per acre if necessary, which would be ample to put water on areas such as Blue Bench Pleasant Valley, and Ouray Valley. That land with water would be worth at least $200 an acre. Well, what are we waiting for? 5 With our present system of free enterprize, which is a prelude to big business interests handling the wealth of the nation, surely there can be found those who would be only too happy to invest in an enterprise that would return the dividends that any of these projects would and at the same time develop our natural resources and increase production, which, after all, is the foundation on which we stand or fall. WHY FAT TESTS VARY One of the questions most asked of me since coming to Duchesne County has been: Why the fat test on their milk varies so much from one month to another? I cannot say for sure why, in each particular case the fat percentage may vary, but on a general basis there are 13 factors that may affect the fat content. About half the cows in our area vary between .1 and .2 To during their lactation, with a few as low as .05 and others as high as Among the thirteen causes of variation in per cent fat, we find seasons of the year to be the most important. One study shows a group of Holstein cows to test as low as 3.22 fat in the summer, averin the fall, raise to age 3.36 a high of 3.54 in the winter and decline to an average of about 3.44 in the spring. This data should help explain why tests decrease during the spring and summer months. Other factors are (2) temperature, with milk test higher in the coldest weather; (3) stage of lactation with the test varying in the opposite direction to volume of milk produced; (4) breed and individuality, there is an individual variation with a breed as well as breed differences. The fat content of the milk of a particular cow will follow the pattern of that cow. (5) Age of cow, the per cent of fat seems to decrease as cows advance in age; (6) completeness of milking, since the last milk dram is as high as seven times the first stream in per cent of fat; (7) diseased udder or cows having mastitis have a lower percentage of fat than the same cows had when udders were healthy; (8) differences in milking intervals. Long intervals between milk .6. - Annie Miss June Murdock is attending summer school in Salt Lake City. According to a letter received by friends, Miss Eva Murdock is with her. FRUITLAND By Robert S.

As I mentioned at the start, I cannot say why your test is down, but maybe from the above you can draw your own conclusions, which undoubtably will be the reasons for your lowered fat content. lemzs m,ton 70 JHi 01701 June 26, 1953 Editor, Uintah Basin Record and Roosevelt Standard Dear Sir: The notion still widely held that American Indians are wards of the Federal Government has been disavowed by the courts in recent decisions as without any legal basis. Instead, the courts have ruled that Indian citizens of the United States are citizens of the State and the County in which they reside, and are entitled to all privileges of their citizenship. The Association on American Indian Affairs, Inc. believes these decisions are milestones in Indian progress. The idea of Indian wardship arose in a misunderstanding of Justice Marshalls comment in 1831 that the status of an Indian tribe in relation to the United States resembles that of a ward to a guardian. Paternalism and administrative bureaucracy that built on Chief Justice Marshalls figure of speech are only now coming to an end. As part of our public information service, the Association, at 48 East 86th Street, New York 28, New York, will be glad to send full information on this question to any reader of your paper who requests it.
