Don Hi contact- him with the complaint that spray material being distributed by the county was not doing the intended job. Mr. Humphrey, after making investigations, found that insufficient quantities of the spray had been mixed with water, making the solution too weak to work adequately. Some farmers were using as little as one pint or one quart of solution to a barrel of water. In order to correct this misunderstanding, which has been costly in both time and spray, Mr. Humphrey again emphasized that not less than one quart of spraying compound should be used PER ACRE, not per barrel of water It was pointed out that one barrel of mixture will cover as high as six or seven acres, making a solution of one quart per barrel, much too weak to do an adequate job. The county weed supervisor also stated, Ithat fori the best results possible, it would be well to consult him for exact amounts and percentages to be. used of different sprays for various types of weeds, to obtain the best kill. He has an index table available to provide this information immediately. In order to be sure of a proper kill, it is necessary to use the proper amounts. Tlie suggested amount of one quart per acre of land, is general, but can be used satisfactorily, esThe amount of pecially with water used with this spray will depend on the density of the spray. If the sprayer is set to cover a five acre area with one barrel of water, it would be necessary to use five quarts of for proper kill. If you have any question as to the procedure, amounts or spray to use for various problem weeds, Mr Humphrey invites you to contact him. ed Enlisted in the U.S. Navy is Buddy Lee Mortensen, son of Ella Anderson of Emery.

We have no beef with any particular door to door salesman, and we realize that there are many reputable men who have set up regular routes to cover, and generally speaking are respected by his customer.

The thing that bothered us most, besides spending long hours and hard work, trying to meet the mailing time, what with a holiday and vacations, was the fact that a blunder on our part in last weeks paper was discovered by only one person. Of course there is a possibility that more people noticed the discrepancy, but were too timid to say anything, but this absence of comment disheartens us into thinking, Whats the use, no one reads the paper anyway. In itself, this thought would not have given us too much concern, except that it parallels, too closely, the complaint consistently waged by our good advertisers, that apparently no one ever reads our advertisements. ' Of course, you and I both know that this is not true, and we also feel that the same is not true in the fact that no one repored the absence of the classified section from last weeks papeer. But it does give us some room for thought, and after that period of thought, we feel we would like to solicit your comments. The advertisers in this paper, both display and classified, are your friends. Yes, they are your friends in that they have sufficient interest in Emery county to see they support a newspaper in your area. Without the support of the advertisers, it would be impossible t)tt you to enjoy your weekly gossip sheet unless you were willing to pay some $20 per year for your newspaper. The first and foremost way of making your weekly paper grow, is by mentioning to each advertiser that you noticed their ad in the paper. And then, if you are in need of a product, make sure you buy it from one of the firms who advertise in the paper. It will benefit you in the long run. ei Dairymen Sponsor vice-preside- we were T wen ty-- -- Lafayette Jensen Succumbs At Lawrence Home Lafayette Jensen, 79, died Thursday afternoon of July 4 at his home in Lawrence after a short illness.
