Mr. Jones reports that certain salesmen are in the county to sell large now, attempting quantities of this fertilizer, prompracising farmers tice payments in connection with Conservation the Agricultural program. Mr. Jones says "There are no practice payments for the application of lime to soils. The Agricultural experts of the Utah Experiment Station and Extension Service join with Mr. Jones in sending out this word of warning. The results of several years of analysis by members of the Experiment Station staff show that Utah soils contain an average of one million pounds of lime in the upper foot of soil on eaih acre which is an excessive amount. Lime offered for fertilizer through these salesmen is further discouraged because the cost is about 20 times more than the market price. Finely ground limestone is being sold in central and eastern states for 75c to $1.50 per ton.

We get out a week earlier in the spring than some schools do, and too, we had a week of vacation during the fall. I know of at least one district where schools were in session on Monday and Tuesday before New Year's day and that same district went to school on a Saturday recently to pay for having had Labor Day off.
