Farmeri and ranchers interested in obtaining trees for establishing forests, windbreaks, shell erbelts, and farm woodlots, should order before March 15 foi best selection of species and early delivery advises Dr. Ted Daniel, USU Nurseryman. Order blanks and assistanee in outlining the size of treeplantings can be obtained from the local county extension agent. Trees to be distributed for these indicated purposes are produced under a cooperative agreement between the Clarke-MiNarForest Tree Nursery, Logan, operated by the Utah State Universitys School of Forest, Range and Wildlife Management and the U.

He emphasized that no orders of less than 100 trees total or 25 tues of any one species may be ordered. Fifteen different kinds of trees and shrub seedlings are lvaiiable this year. They vary in price, depending upon species, from $2 to $6 per hundred siedlings, postpaid, in Utah. Last year some 224 thousand seedlings were distributed in Utah under this program. If planted in a continuous three-rowindbreak that many trees and shrubs would stretch for 90 miles, Dr. Daniel explained Special eare should be given to the small seedlings to prevent their roots from growing cut, he cautioned. Many failures ere caused by neglecting to water or weed the seedlings, or by letting livestock get on the new seedlings. fell? wr ...

Fullmer All-recounty extension agent with Utah State University, for Box Elder county. During the last week or two I have talked with several people who had checked on their orchards and could see no apparent damage. However, on digging down around the trees about two inches, they found the trees to be badly damaged, he says. This shows that mice are actively working and will con good operating condition.

When you have determined the number of damaged trees you should cut enough scion-woofrom the new sucker growth of the trees to use for grafting later in the Spring, about the time the sap starts to flow. This scion-wooshould be kept damp, preferably wrapped in damp burlap and kept in cold storage until time to be used. Naturally, this requires extra woik. However, the scion-woois necessary to graft onto the damaged trees. To be of value, it must be in readiness when the time arrives for grafting.

By comparison, the cost of living index has gone up 27. The story of rising costs can be told again and again in every phase of Kennecotts operations. Supplies and 'services, including wages, are higher now than they were 10 years ago. And there have been changes at the mine. More waste material must be removed to uncover the ore, and the ore itself contains less copper. As a result, much greater quantities of material must be handled to produce the same amount of copper. Because Kennecott controls neither the price of the copper it sells, nor all of mm J ' t YOU CET MUCH MORE . . . SAVING AT its production costs, the problems created by rising costs can lie met only by achieving maximum efficiency and economy in all operations. We are trying to accomplish this now by a program of improvements. It is a continuing program that seeks economy and efficiency through improved equipment, the development of better operating methods, the most effective use of supplies and the most efficient use of the work FIRST FEDERAL ' current rate Compounded Semi-Annual- ly CONVENIENT HOURS 9 to 4, Monday thr, Thursday Open Friday till 6. force.
