Dillman, as chairman, iSet the Utah water storage commission at Salt Lake last Tuesday afternoon in an effort to get the commission interested in appealing to the federal reclamation service for aid in obtaining a supplemental water supply by the construction of a reservoir at Moon Lake. The delegation informed the commission that the company needs of water in about 16,000 arce-fe- et At addition to what it now has. present approximately 53.000 acres of lands are being irrigated by the company by direct flow. The cost of the project desired would amount to about $200,000. The Moon lake reservoir site is on the west fork of Lakefork river. The storage commission was informed that observations had been made by competent engineers and it had been determinfrom ed that there is ample run-o- ff this river to fill the reservoirs. Engineers have also pronounced the project feasible, the Roosevelt men said. It was set forth also that since the organization of the Dry Gulch Irrigation company in 1905 it has constructed 509 miles of canals and laterals at a construction cost of $500,000. It now has 790 stockholders and there is a population of 5000 persons living under and receiving their livelihood from the products of the land under the systems the commission was told. Approximately 85 per cent of the people living on the lands irrigated by the company own their own homes. In reply to the delegation, several members of the commission spoke in favor of encouraging the development of the small projects and declared they should be helped as much as the larger ones. Members of the delegation were told to file their application and data with George M. Bacon, state engineer, for further investigation. Mr. Bacon will report to the commission on the matter later and definite action regarding the indorsement of the project will be deferred by the board until that time.

Hence, It is thought that culling all birds above that age from the flock would soon eliminate the disease. To determine whether or not this belief is well founded. Dr. T. S. Rich of the Department of Agriculture, In charge of tuberculosis-eradicatio- n work in the state of Michigan, conducted a general culling campaign covering all poultry flocks In one township in the state. Every chicken on 151 farms was individually examined, or a total of 15,377. From this number 1,494 were removed as culls, and 86 were found upon examination to be Infected with tuberculosis. The disease was demonstrated to exist in about 33 per cent of the flock examined. Three generalized wises were birds under one year of age. This was conclusive proof to post-morte- m - 0TSS STRAWBERRY PROJECT The Strawberry valley irrigation project has passed from under government control and management into the hands of the land owners on the project, who henceforth will optrate it meet operating expenses and merely make one annual lump sum payment to .Unele Sam on construction charges until the full cost oji the project has been repaid. The water users expect to cut operation and iaintenance costa of the project from $1.20 an acre to 70 ents an acre under the new management. There are some 60,000 acres under the project, and about 2000 water users. 4 Soy Bean3 Prove Great Value as Swine Forage Ten years ago soy beans were little grown in Missouri. At that time the college of agriculture was experimenting with hundreds of strains and varieties, trying to determine the economic possibilities of the crop for Missouri farmers and trying to select out of this large number the best strains and varieties. Today Missouri farmers grow 350,-00- 0 acres 'of soy beans for seed and forage and 500.000 acres in corn for hogging down and for silage.
