About 90 different kinds of soil were recognized in the survey area. TTiese were mapped out on Soil surveys are used primarily for making recommendations for crops, pastures, fertilizer applications, and range management practices. They are also finding increased use for engineering practices, such as behavior of soils for road or highway construction, suitable foundation material for homes in housing developments, field drains for septic tank disposal systems, locating soils suitable for topsoil, sources for sand and gravel and for estimating runoff for flood control programs. Increasing use is being made in this state for land valuation, irrigation, , lax assessments, and farm appraisals. County planning commissions or other groups desiring information for long- - range planning also find the surveys useful For research it is especially important to be able to extend the results of fertilizers or cropping trials from experimental plots to farms, by different kinds of soil. Information gathered from soil surveys is also useful in teaching students from grammar schools through universities. . A report describing the dif- ferent kinds of soils, their potential for use, and behavior under different management practices is being prepared. When the report and maps are completed they will be placed in the regular publication schedule of reports. Hopefully the report will be available by late 1973 or 1974.

Fairview PTA sponsors drive The Fairview Parent-Teache- r Association will be sponsoring a drive during the next two weeks to include more of the parents in the organization. TTie PTA hopes to be able to keep the people informed as to the problems confronting the schools. Too many times the people are too uninvolved. They wait until it is too late before becoming concerned. One way for the people to be effective is to support an organization such as the PTA by joining and actively participating. Other things parents can do to help the teachers with their children is to give them Parents can also see that their children are in school every day except for illness. Those parents who assume that their child will not miss anything are very much uninformed as to the purposes of the schools. The teachers in the Fairview Elementary are doing a splendid job and are fine examples for the children to follow. The Fairview PTA hopes more parents will become involved and help by providing the teachers with the at home support they need.

More than forty men from five counties representing irrigation companies attended the meeting conducted by Homer Peterson, Delta, president Harold Brown of the Soil Conservation Service, and Max Kleetch, Forest Service, from the Salt Lake City River Basin staff, presented the proposed Early Action Program for the Sevier River Basin. The proposed program for developing the water and related land resources in Sevier River Basin was prepared to provide information for the people in the Basin to evaluate and to stimulate their thinking on resources development. Overall objectives of an action program of development are to improve income levels, better use of resources and improving the environment. It was stated that objectives could be achieved by reducing erosion and sedimentation; reducing flood damage within municipal and agricultural areas; improving water quality; eliminating water shortages on irrigated lands; reducing consumpt i ve use of water by low value plants; improving fish and wildlife habitat; increasing livestock grazing capacities, and providing additional outdoor recreation opport unities. the Glendale Community College Gauchos.

The weather and an alert Ricks College defensive unit combined to shut out the Badgers 17-- 0 in their homecoming game Saturday and give them a record as the season approaches its finale. A cold afternoon and a slippery field prevented the teams from showing their capabilities on offense, but Ricks managed to convert a couple of Snow fumbles into touchdowns for its second win in ICAC action.

Anderson, chairman of the County Sanpete Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, suggests that now is a good time for farmers to bring up to date farm records which are maintained in their County ASCS office. Records are kept on larms participating in government programs administered be ASCS. A farmer who was in any programs in 1970 and who has ixiught, sold, leased, rented, or otherwise acquired or disposed farmland should visit his county ASCS office to report the transactions. The ASCS committee chairman commented that previous farm legislation is expiring and Congress is expected to take up proposed new farm legislation when it reconvenes in November. "Whatever farm programs we have, farmers will want to lx sure their farm reoerds are accurate and complete County ACSC offices are of required to keep records on acreage of all farms where owners or operators participate in any program. d These include programs for feed grain, wheat, and sugar beets in years when proportionate shares are effect. In addition, in farm programs include on commodities such as wool, honey, and dry edible beans. Tlie county ASCS committee chairman said that if a farm is price-suppo- constituted differently now than was when the tarmer began program participation, and if he hasn't yet reported the change, he should do so as soon as possible. Also, if a farm has changed owners or operators in that period, a report should be made to the county ASCS office. Mr. Anderson emphasizes that changes in the operations of farms need be reported only by farmers participating in one or more farm programs administered by ASCS. it V |
