Inter-mountai- crops, and tailored many crops to fit machinery operation on the farm," be Said. Dr. Thome indicated that farmers today are planting almost none of the crop varieties they depended upon 25 years ago. Here in Utah farmers have been planting only monogerm seed in sugar beets for about four years, and a reduction of hand labor for thinning has resulted. He went on to say that our scientists have also made great strides in learning more about animal diseases, developing reliable tests and vaccines as entomologists have created n Wynne Thorne', director, Experiment Station and University Research, Utah State University, Logan. Through crops research, state and federal scientists, working together, have changed the plants that farmers grow in the fields. They have supplied new germ plasm and adapted foreign crops to our climate and methods of farming. They have fixed resistance to various diseases and insect pests in established Farm Machine Leases Growing In Popularity -- more effective ways to destroy or control many damaging in- sect pests. There are approximately 50 federal collaborators on the s of Logan campus. the Agrithe men are from cultural Research Service, while there are others from the Economic Research Service, the U.S. Department of Interiors wildlife and fisheries branch and the U.S. Forest Service," he stated. The Soil Conservation Service is also represented and it is anticipated that there will be, additional collaborators from other agencies, soon. Two-third- the HEREFORD COUNTY EMERY COUNTY is an area of Vast Resources. Besides breeding the Best Hereford Cattle in Utah, it produces many other important products, such as: Sheep and Wool, Dairy Items, Alfalfa, Corn Silage, Fruit and Leasing farm machinery Is a practice gaining popularity the western United States, says Wayne B. Ringer, extension agricultural engineer with the Utah State University. He explains that most Utah farmers own the majority of the machinery they use. However, many own machinery with their neighbors. Some rely on custom operators for seasonal jobs like plowing, planting and 1b harvesting. Leasing, like custom hiring, might fit into seasonal operations. It could help a farmer reduce his investments in his machines that have only limited use during the year and supplement his own machinery during peak work periods. How does such a leasing arrangement work? Here are a few key points in a standard leasing agreement prepared by the National Retail Farm equipment Assn. It is assumed that the machine will perform like new. when the user gets it Rental charges are determined by applying a peuent age value to the new, delivered price of the machine. Figuring a r day, rental rates run as follows: 1 day, 1 per cent; 1 week, 2 per cent; 1 month, 15 per cent; 2 months, 25 per cent, and three months, 33 per cent The user agrees to avoid handling the equipment carelessly or with unnecessary roughness. He has the obbfjip . tlon of keeping it in good op ating condition well greased, oiled and repaired at his own expense. He pays for all parts broken while the machine is In his hands. Since bad weather that interrupts use can complicate payment, all leasing agreements in Utah should be careful to clarify this point, Ringer notes. WATCH FOR THE DATE Small Grains.
