The barley would later be used by agriculture students who had ' animal projects. LaMar Godfreys agricultural program at Davis High grew so big that he needed a farm to handle it. He asked Davis School District if the 43 acres of land east of Davis High, owned by the school district, could be made available for an experimental farm for Davis agricultural students. MR. GODFREYS crop management class worked last winter to determine how the land should be planted when spring came. They budgeted their money. They received permission from the district to plant the barley and use the rest of the land for hay production the first year. This fall, the crop I HATED to see the land not being used, Mr. Godfrey said. Besides the weeds needed to be kept down. The management class rotated land Mr. Godfrey and his students are farming is the the crop. Most of the acreage was planted in winter wheat, land purchased for the Davis Vocational School. Currently, 4 which will be harvested in late July or early August. The remainder of the land will be planted to barley. The class felt crop rotation would increase the productivity of the land, Mr. Godfrey said. only the vocational building housing the body and fender program and a house are on the property. Mr. Godfrey felt his students should put into practice what they learned in the classroom. They needed experience in producing crops. Due to urbanization, very little land is available for agricultural use, he said. The land was not being used and it could provide a training ground for agricultural students. THE LAND was plowed and sowed by students this fall. The one piece of farm equipment owned by the agricul- bushels of wheat to the acre. The class will determine when to market the grain. Last year we missed the market on barley, Mr. Godfrey said. This year we hope to do better. Students fertilize the plot, spray for weeds, irrigate, and learn to drive the tractors and other farm eqiupment. This year they hope to make enough money on the farm to purchase another piece of machinery. The cost of buying the irrigation system was paid for when the hay was sold. EARLIER this fall the class has been walking up to the farm site each day to weed and tear down fences. The work is at a standstill now, but the class will begin working in March when the barley should be planted. Only 50 per cent of the 80 students in the agricultural program at Davis High are from farms themselves. Agriculture has changed, Mr. Godfrey said. In addition to the farm, Davis High has a laboratory field two-acr- e planted to ornamental horticulture. IN THE spring, summer and fall, one area is planted to vegetables. Another is planted to dwarf fruit trees, which the students learn to prune. Fruit from the trees will be available in another year, Mr. Godfrey said. It will take these trees eight years to produce fruit. The lawn management class raises turf to sell. Christmas trees and poinset-tia- s are also grown by the agricultural classes. A semester class in landscaping raises the poinsettias, which are started in July from cuttings. THESE PLANTS are raised in a greenhouse where the temperature is carefully controlled. The poinsettias raised are used for decorations around the school, Mr. Godfrey said. The Colorado Pines, which will eventually become Christmas trees, are grown as starts in containers before they are set out in the acreage assigned for the planting of Christmas trees. IN AGRICULTURE classes students like getting out and its hard to keep them in class. Its easy to see who the good workers are when you teach agriculture, Mr. Godfrey said. Davis High students farm only one of four tracts of land cultivated by high school students in Davis District. Viewmont High has an orchard and Bountiful High a dry farm. Five acres of barley was planted and cultivated on land owned by the district at Gentile and Fairfield Road, Mr. Clinton Bollinger, vocational director said, rk ture program is a tractor d which has been and reconditioned at the shop at the high school.

WILCOX Pheosanf THE NORTHERN region of Utah had a hunter success bird per hunter for figure that averaged about one-hathe opening weekend of 1976. The 1975 figure was about d of a bird average, or one bird for every three hunters. Box Elder and Davis counties showed significant increases in the harvest success, while success was comparable to 1975 in Cache County. (Data from Weber County was unavailable at press time.) Central Utah produced slightly better results than in 1975 for the average hunter. Although results were obtained from a small sampling of hunters, Juab and Salt Lake counties showed slightly less success than last year, while Sanpete, Tooele and Utah counties were up slightly over the previous year.

Siler, daughter of retired U.S. Air Force Major and Mrs. Harry E. Ragland of 241 Virginia St., Kaysville, has been selected for technical training at Sheppard AFB, Tex., in the Air Force medical service ' field. THE AIRMAN recently completed basic training at Lackland AFB, Tex., and studied the Air Force mission, organization and toms and received special instruction in human relations. Airman Siler, a 1971 graduate of Davis High School, attended Weber State College in Ogden. IN THE SOUTHERN region, hunters found the going about the same, or perhaps just slightly better than in the 1975 hunt. Success increased in Sevier County, decreased in Beaver County and was comparable to 1975 in Millard County. No data was available at press time from other areas of the region. Northeastern Utah showed marked increases in the pheasant harvest in both Duchesne and Uintah counties and consequently averaged a higher success ratio in the rest of the region also. The success appears to have been the highest in the region since 1971. HUNTER SUCCESS in the southeastern region was lower than in 1975 in Carbon County but similar to the previous year in Emery County. The regional average was similar to the success experienced in 1975. VALUABLE TlURKEiYaS IMHiiTiraitCOBB THIS COUPON GOOD FOR H 0 LAYTON DISCOUNT DEPT.
