This week finds approximately 2,000 school kiddies in Duchesne County joining the thousands of other youngsters throughout Utah in the closing phases of another Very successful school year. For some it will be the last time they will saunter through the halls and into a classroom at their alma mater they are seniors who have graduated, or will Wore the week ends. . . For others it will be three months of freedom from books and teachers and worries that readin, ritin and rithmitic brings them. For nine long months these surging young people have been cooped up in a class room, along with teachers and principals, learning about many of the problems they will encounter along the rocky and uncertain road of life. They most certainly have earned a rest from their labors, and this includes the teaching staff. It has been my privilege and opportunity to attend graduating exercises for three high schools and one LDS Seminary this week, with the final one at Union on schedule for tonight. Many words of encouragement have come from the lips of students and adults, which if heeded would make eminent successes out of all who received their diplomas. In adition to watching these fine young high school seniors march across the platforms to receive their certificates of graduation, and to thrill with them in their achievement, it has been a grand experience to grasp the hands of parents who have held sO much hope for their children. One young speaker at one of the programs paid a beautiful tribute to parents In which she made a very significant statement "behihd every successful graduate here tonight, has been a mother who has listened to the many problems from a troubled young heart one who has kept our clothes in good repair and prepared the proper food to sustain our growing bodies. Then there is a dad who has made sure all the bills were paid lunch tickets were provided, lab fees were available, and along with Mom has always been on the sideline, smiling words of encouragement to the boy in athletics, or the girls who had a part in the school play. s come to the It makes ones blood tingle and surface when young graduates recognize the great part in their lives their parents have played. It Is a fond hope of every mother and dad that they will always remember and keep that great commandment, "Honor thy Father and thy Mother. As they progress throughout their lives, they will realize more and more the tremendous contributions they have received from a mothers love and a dads understanding. Let me join you other parents who have a child graduating this year in a simple prayer that their future will be secured with unselfish service to their God and to their fellowman. That they will always keep their heads high and their eyes on, mountains that lie beyond the hills which they now have reached. goose-pimple- A FAST BUCK. ... vEv Practically everypne has heard the phrase, A fast buck. Fast bucks, or easy dollars, are being made every day. But it takes a deal to promote a fast buck and its a safe assumption that no one in this community would pay as much as a penny for an option on the Brooklyn Bridge. If the merchants serving this community depended upon the fast buck, wed soon have no drug stores, groceries, department stores in fact, no stores at all. Because local merchants offer reliable, efficient service, we urge everyone to shop at home. The firms which we consider local landmarks are only so because they have established the reputation for quality, value and service through the years. We urge you to trade at home, not only because local stores need your patronage but because they offer better bargains, nationally advertised brands, and better service than you could hope to get elsewhere. And because the local merchant realizes that there arent enough fast bucks in the country to compensate for the loss of one satisfied customer. and community proTrade at home for your own sake gress. vEv Fifteen minutes a day devoted to one definite study will Edward Howard make one a master in a dozen years.

Shows habit of plant (note perennial rootstock). B. mature fruit, C. seed. Description . . . White top is a perennial noxious weed. It reproduces from seeds and extenstive underground rhizomes, or rootstocks. As the name implies, it has white flowers and a patch in bldom gives a This snowy - white appearance. weed produces reddish ' - brown seeds which resemble radish seeds and are about the same size as alfalfa seeds, making it difficult to clean from alfalfa or clover. It makes its growth early in the spring and flowers in the latter part of April or early May, depending upon the season and altitude. It is now flowering in our lower elevations and this is the time to apply chemicals. Occurrance. . . White top was introduced into the United States about 50 years ago and is now extremely widespread. It is a serious problem in Duchesne County and occurs in cultivated fields and waste places, particularly thriving on somewhat saline soils. Control . . . White top has been and can be controlled by clean cultivation. To be successful, this must be done thoroughly every two to three weeks during the growing season, and will take two to three years. A more practical method consists of a combination of cropping and chemicals. For example, white top on crop land has been effectively controlled by the fololwing procedure: Plow land early in the spring and prepare a good seedbed. This sets the weed back. Apply about 40 pounds available nitrogen per acre and seed immediately to grain. The fertilizer will help the grain crop to grow rapidly and provide competition to the weed. Spray with 1 y2 pounds of 2,4-per acre when the grain is between the stooling and booting stage. After the crop is harvested, plow and cultivate or spray as fall growth appears. with 2,4-This program should be followed as long as is necessary, probably three or four years for complete D control. White top can be controlled in waste places such as ditch banks, railroad roadways, etc, by spraying twice each year for a with 2,4-number of years. This should be done in the spring and then in the fall if regrowth appears. Small patches in waste places or even in crop land can probably best be controlled by the use of a soil sterilant such as atlacide or a chlorate.

Murdock County Agricultural Agent WEEDS I would like to point odt to the residents of Duchesne County that the problem for discussion today and several weeks to follow is weeds. We are all acquainted with the weed prpblem in one form or another; it may be a few in your flower bed, or sunflowers in the garden, while out on the field you knap-weemay have white-tomorning glory, Russian or Canadian Thistle. Weeds are perhaps the most costly nuisance the farmer has to combat. We are forever striving to eliminate weeds. We cuss them all summer long because we have them, but not enough of us are doing something about them. One of the most serious problems I have found in the control of weeds is in the carelessness of the farmer. As I have mentioned, you dont like them, and want to get rid of them, but you plant seed from your own field, or the neighbors, who grow just as many and hardy varieties of weeds as you do. Or perhaps you purchase feed grain, which looks good, so you plant it, . . and more troubles. To be safe, buy and plant only seed with a TAG. On the tag it will tell you the seed is certified and no noxious weeds contained therein. Dont, buy hay or move hay from infested land. Plant good, improved varieties of plants, fertilize, and use a weed chemical to control those weeds and you will fast be on the road to easier and better farming. If you have any questions on the above, or other subjects, come in and see me, or drop me a line. Ill be glad to assist you in every possible way. Pfc. Albert J.
