C. Coffey, contact representative in charge of the VA office at 29 Thatcher Building, Logan Utah. Mr. Coffey points out that the program was designed to enable veterans to learn gainful occupations, and that in all cases of job training, contracts are executed between employer and veteran In which the specific steps -- of -t-he training program are set forth. "Cases have been reported where employers are not living up to For Instance, a their contracts. case has been reported where a veteran signed up to become an auto mechanic has been assigned to running a filling station by his Tins is a violation emploer. of the statute under which the program was set up. It is exploitation of the veteran." Utah has been more free from ahuses of this nature than some other sections of the country, according to Mr. Coffey, and the VA is striving to keep it so. At the present time Investigations are being made of all reported cases of violation. Veterans on traimng programs who believe that the training they are receiving does not measure up to the standards are urged to report the circumstances to the nearest office of the Veterans Administrationob Job-traini- ng - Prevent DDT From Killing Honey Bees DDT should not be applied to seed alfalfa while it is in bloom, because of the danger of poisoning bees, entomologists of the Utah experiment Agricultural station and the United State Department of Agriculture warp..

Logan Temple Officiators Named Opportunities in Livestock Industries" is the title of a Utah State Agricultural college bulletin now being distributed to 5000 state leaders, educators, club and Future Farmers of America leaders. The livestock enterprises n Utah are permanent," Dr. W. P. Thomas agricultural economist, points out in a prefatory article. There is no alternative for the use of the grazing lands, and at present no suitable replacement for the livestock enterprises on the irrigated farms. The resaurces, the markets and the local economic and institutional conditions all make them desirable." What makes Utah livestock state is the fact that 45 million of the total area of 52 million acres are used mainly for livestock grazing Dr. Thomas informs. Also at least 80 percent of the arabhle acreage is used to produce feed for livestock. Departments represented with articlles and pictures are Animal Husbandry, Dr. Louis L. Madsen, chairman; Dairy Husbandry, Professor George B. Came, chairman; in and Dairy Manufacturing, charge of Professor Arthur J. Morns; Poultry Husbandry, Professor Byron Alder, chairman; and Veterinary Science, Dr. Wayne Bums, chairman. Dairy cattle are increasing in Utah, as a result of increased feed supply, more efficient cows, greater demand for dairy products, and better prices, the bulletin shows-"Thdairy cow into an intensive farming program on the small Dr. irrigated farms in Utah, Thomas explained.
