In most cases, a small dam is required and a pond, thus formed for power purposes, also may be used for watering stock, fire protection or recreation. Such units are capable of producing direct or alternating electric current at low cost and make use of water which might otherwise be Despite power suppliers in ru-ir- al College Centennial observances at the Utah State Agricultural college will reach their cimax, Juy in a five-da- y series of talks and discussions on Utahs Possibilities.

Great new motor oil by Utah Oil Refining Company The electrical capacity of units, such as that illustrated, varies from to 10 kilowatts. For example: A typical unit will generate one kilohead of wawatt, with an eight-foo- t ter, having a flow of 190 cubic feet of water per minute. As the head of water increases, the volume required decreases for the operation of a generator of given capacity. Thus, with a head of 25 feet, a hydroelectric unit will generate one kilowatt with a volume flow of only 68 cubic feet of water per minute. An eight-foo- t head is all that is needed f for those generating from to five kilowatts. 0 LJ one-hal- Fungicides Tested By Vegetable Mice '& ' Scales of Easter lily bulbs are very subject to attack by a fungus causing scale rot, which accounts for their adoption by Drs. W. D. McClellan and N. W. Stuart, U.S.D.A agricultural research division, in determining the effectiveness of various fungicides at the Beltsville station. One fact that makes these vegetable mice particularly useful in testing work is that all the scales from one bulb are genetically the V- - n,.-- ft Lj U The Easter lily with from 40 to 60 smoothscales of almost china-lik- e ness is well adapted to its mouse role In testing of fungicides. same, and for that reason the vulnerability to attack of the rot is uniform. Some other advantages of this new method are that the scales can be used at any time of the year if properly handled, the effect of the disease attack on the scales can be read with ease because they are smooth and almost white, the chemical to be tested can be applied as dust and in a suspension or solution, the equipment is simple and takes little space. Chick Glands Bigger When Fed Thiouracil Studies at Purdue experiment station have shown that a new drug, thiouracil, when fed to chickens at a level of 0.2 per cent, resulted in marked changes in the thyroid gland and increased the rate of fattening. When the drug was fed to breeding hens, the thyroids of chicks were greatly enlarged. The hatchability of the eggs showed no change and the chicks appeared to be of norma vigor. jlS'4 Heres why theres more go to your car when the "goo is gone.
