MORE UNITY IS NEEDED in the Uintah Basin, is a comment actively heard as we strive to achieve the things needed for our future development. . . This fact is not only important in fighting for the Upper Colorado River Project, but it is important in working for better roads, better schools, etc. . .Unity is something often preached from church pulpits and at civic It is stressed editorially by newspapers and is gatherings something that can come only by young and old aliko working together. ARE WE SUCCEEDING ALONG THIS LINE is a question I asked myself the other night as I sat in a basketball tournament where two schools from the Basin were entered seeking a place in the stqte B tourney now under way at Provo. The Region Five play-o- ff started with Union High playing Mon-ticelsoon as As the High. Cougars took the floor it became evident that at least two Basin High Schools were enthusiastically rooting for Unions loss to a' team several hundred miles away. . Of course thats just exercising, our free agency given us by living in America But it did irk me no little to see our next door neighbors so ambitious about seeing the Cougars' lose a chance to enter the state tournament. . . In my opinion it showed poor judgment for coaches, students and parents from, our neighboring communitites to so openly protest the advancement of a, fine basketball team into the state tournament. We have heard student body presidents and principals urge basketball (has all year to display high sportsmanship ideals something I heartily approve. Generally I believe a good job has been one, and hasten to compliment all the people, students and adults, on this achievement . , I was also pleased that after Union won their game and the other Basin school took the floor, all Roosevelt including the student body from Union, were rooting for the local team. THE STORY OF A MISSING DILLFOLD Drivers Teen-Ag- e PUBLISHED THURSDAY OF EACH WEEK Get Advantages From Legislation A drivers will soon be eligible, under certain conditions, for advantages not offered in the past as a result of two new laws enacted by the Utah Legislature. The first of these laws will permit the teen-agunder 16 years of age to obtain his learners permit, and later to get his regular drivers license at age 15. But there are strings attached to this that should be clearly understood by all concerned, the Utah Safety Council pointed out These young drivers must be enrolled in an approved course of driver education in high school to get the learners permit, and they must successfully complete the same course to get the regular drivers license. Furthermore, the law will not become effective until July first Another that the1 advantage young driver may become eligible for under the driver education program is a reduced car insurance rate. The key to this new era for our young drivers is that single word approved, it was explained today by G. Ernest Bourne, Executive Secretary of the Utah Safety Council, whose organization sponsored the new legisla-tibTeen-ag- e er n. 1 A man never shows his own character so plainly as by the J. P.

Policy meetings to set the standard and definition of the approved course are being held at the present time by representatives of these agencies. Among the standards which no doubt will be established are the requirements that the teachers meet certain qualifications, standard text materials are used,-anthat instruction must include at least 30 hours of classroom and 6 hours of practice driving under supervision. We frankly doubt whether any school in Utah is offering that kind of training at the present time. If so, it would be a pleasant surprise to us, Mr. Bourne concluded.

An editorial in the Christian Science Monitor, January 27th has receive so many favorable comments from proponents of the Colorado River Project that we are running it so all our subscribers might read it, as follows: The water resources of the Colorado Rivers Upper Basin must be developed. Here is an objective against which there is no open opposition of which we have knowledge. These resources must be developed even if it should prove necessary to build dams at Echo Park and Split Mountain, both of which lie within the boundaries of Dinosaur National Monument Those who argue seriously against that postulate are also few. But as to whether it is necessary to invade a national preserve is a question being hotly disputed. Those who back the Reclamation Bureaus proposed dams at Echo Park and Split Mountain say the whole Upper Basin development depends upon the first of these; that no alternative site put forward would do; and that conservationist opponents are being used by Lower Basin interests which scheme to get more than their share of the water. They assert the dinosaur fossil deposits would not be touched (which is true); that the scenery of the monument is equaled at several other locations (true also); and that the dam would enhance it, anyway (a matter of opinion). Somehow, much Of the dispute over engineering has focused on loss from evaporation. After numerous revisions downward, the Bureau of Reclamation appears to be standing on an estimate of 120,000 acre feet per year greater loss at the Dewey site (the next best alternative, they say) than at Echo Park. Opponents argue that Echo Park is but one of several plans that would invade national preserves, and that a breach here would set a bad precedent They declare there are acceptable even better alternatives at sites already approved for later dams. As for evaporation, they point to a series of errors that have reduced the bureaus hypothetical estimates of Echo Parks superiority from an original 350,000 to 25,000 acre feet annually either figure out of a total loss of over a million. Their engineers point out that a variance in the estimates of but one mile per hour annual average wind velocity would make a difference of 100,000 acre feet in the loss figure. Some organizations, no doubt, do favor Californias interest in the Lower Basin. But we find it hard to believe that the National Parks Association and the National Audubon Society or many members of the Sierra Club would be taken in as stooges by any one regional cause. Estimate of future evaporation from reservoirs yet unbuilt seems to be so iffy a task that we would dislike to see this point given as much weight in the decision as it has had in the controversy. Finally, we do not believe a dam at Echo Park would destroy the national park system. But unquestionably the precedent would render more vulnerable the boundaries of these hard-wo- n areas. 9.50-11.0- 0; Notice To Creditors G:r Incpoction Started Feb.

Knowlton Utah State Agricultural College Extension Entomologist The alfalfa weevil has cost Utah hay and alfalfa seed growers many millions of dollars in crop losses over the years. This began in 1904 when the weevil was first found near Salt Lake City. Now this is a pest over most of the west It recently has also caused serious crop injury in some eastern areas of the Nation. Insects cause a loss of from $7,000,000 to well over $10,000,000 . Activity In District Court Activities of the Fourth District Court at Duchesne are reported by the clerk for the month of January.

The alfalfa weevil annually would cause injury ranging from approximately $300,000 to $1,000,-00if not controlled. Research on alfalfa weevil control, conducted largely by F. V. Lieberman, U. S. Department of Agriculture Entomologist, located at the Utah State Agricultural Experiment College, Agricultural Station, has to a large extent made possible the elimination of alfalfa weevil losses. During the several seasons since the development of the new spring stubble-treatmeto kill adult, weevils, milestimated crop savings of lion dollars to nearly 1 million dollars have been achieved by our Utah farmers. Control the alfalfa weevil in early spring. Do -this by means of a heptachlor or dieldrin stubble spray, Mr. Lieberman and other Utah State Agricutural College entomologists advise. This Involves applying 4 ounces of actual heptachlor or dieldrin per acrq. To be most beneficial this spray should go on when alfalfa first to 2 inches growth is only high. This occurs fairly early, we must remember. This early spring treatment is aimed at destroying the overwintering alfalfa weevils before the females lay their eggs. Only a few female weevils . mature sexually and lay any eggs in the fall. This early spring treatment makes for better quality and more alfalfa, for larger alfalfa seed crops, and makes it unnecessary to have an insecticide residue present on first crop alfalfa when it is cut for hay. To secure most effective and profitable alfalfa weevil control, lets remember a few special points. 1. Whether alfalfa is grown for . hay or seed, the best way to control the alfalfa weevil with an insecticide is to apply a spray when to 2 the first spring growth is inches long. Thu usually is between March 5 and April 15. 2. Use 4 ounces of heptachlor or 4 ounces of actual dieldrin in at least 6 gallons of water, per acre. 3. This kills most of the adult weevils before they lay many eggs. It thus prevents the development of enough larvae to damage the crop later. When first crop alfalfa seed is to be grown, any .necessary additional weevil control is provided by the application of DDT for control of lygus bugs. This application should be made .when the plants are in the early bud stage. The recommended dosages are 1.5 pounds of actual DDT per acre applied as a spray or at least 20 DDT applied as pounds of 10 0, nt dust. When first-cro- p hay is raised, some growers may desire to control the alfalfa weevil by killing the larvae after they become in late. May or early June. For maximum benefit, this treatment should be made before most of the plants have started to turn grey. Spray or dust with to 1 ounce of heptachlor or 1 to 2 pounds of actual methoxy-chlo- r, 4 ounces of parathion; 2 ounces of aldrin, or 1 to 2 ounces of lindane. If parathion is used, it should be applied with power machines only and in strict observance of the directions and warnings of the manufacturer.
