Taylor of Salt Lake City who has been spending several weeks in Myton in the interests of the Taylor ditch that furnishes the Water for the South Jfyton bench and Pleasant valley, left recently for his home. He has been supervising necessary improvements and has been trying to interest the owners in the formation on an irrigation project and has met with fairly good success. It is expected before the year closes something definite may be done along that line. Dan Barry of Myton who owns brick store building occupied by W. H. Koehler is planning to build an addition to be used as a is garage. Some of the material already on the ground. He is also planning to fit up a camping place tor tourists near the Duchesne river bridge in this place. This will be beneficial to Myton. Tourist travel over the Victory route of the Federal highway No. 40, through the Uintah Basin for the season of 1927 has started in good shape, cars have gone through the Atlantic Myton already from coast as well as the Pacific. Recently a meeting of the water users of .the South Myton bench and Pleasant Valley was held in the Commercial club rooms. N. L. Peterson of Myton who has large holdings under the project, was appointed as director on the board of the Uintah Basin Irrigation company. Matters pertaining to maintenance, division of water and the advisability of forming an irrigation district was considered. Andy Verholtz of Myton has moved to Ft. Duchesne and accepted the position of care taker of the Indian hospital of the government Mnk. Verholtz has been appointed fea matron of the same institution. They have assumed their new duties; These positions are under the supervision of Dr. White, the government physician for the Indians located at Ft. Duchesne. The Antelope sheep shearing corral association located about eight miles west of Myton in the Antelope district, finished shearing. The work was done under supervision of C. Christensen of Springville contractor. About 60,000 head were sheared. Employment was to 60 and twelve people given trucks were kept busy hauling tha wool to Price. Several of the l?re sheepmen who use the range In this part of the basin belong to thi3 association. Lynn Stone of Myton who is engaged in the honey industry, is diversifying his efforts. He is engaging also in the chicken business and has completed an up to date chicken house and has at present a' flock of about 500 white Leghorn chickens. Several in this portion of the basin are turning their attention to this industry. .

Depart- PAGE FIVE eties showed from 80o 100 per cent of Infection. For growing on land where lodging and rust usually affect oats, it is believed that Iogold will prove superior In ability to stand up and produce a high average yield. Among 21 varieties of oats grown in a uniform oat rust nursery In 1926 at approximately 50 experiment stations In the United States and Canada, Iogold showed the highest degree of rust resistant of all varieties. Produced for Purpose. Iogold was produced for a special purpose. Richland has been a very satisfactory variety for low, rich soils, where taller varieties frequently lodge, anywhere rust usually occurs. However, It has not been altogether satisfactory on the uplands, especially on the more worn and thinner soils where it has been entirely too short in the straw for convenient harvesting with a grain binder. The Iogold has been bred particularly to replace Richland under these conditions. It also produces an excellent quality of grain. The kernel is slightly plumper than that of the Richland. Iogold is the result of 20 years of breeding, and should prove one of the most valuable of the Improved varieties developed by the Iowa agricultural (perlment station in with the bureau of plant Industry of the Department of Agriculture. There may be some slight objection to the yellow color of Iogold, but as oats are consumed largely on farms, the color is not especially objectionable. A new selection of the Kherson oat is being distributed for the first time this season to Iowa farmers under the name of Iogold. It was developed in the experiments of the United States Department of Agriculture and the Iowa Agricultural exresulted station. Iogold periment of Kherson a from single plant selected by Prof. L. C. Burnett at Ames, Iowa, in 1906. After being tested In nursery experiments for a few years It was considered of sufficient promise for advancement to the plat experiments, where it has been grown continuously to date. Outstanding Characters. The outstanding characters of Iogold are high yielding power, stiffness of straw, and resistance to stem rust of oats. The average acre yield of Iogold Is 65.3 bushels as compared Proper Feed for Brood with 64.3 bushels for Iowar, in the Sows Before Farrowing nine years for which comparable data Proper feed before and after farIn comparison with are available. will have a great deal of effect rowing other important varieties developed the size and vigor of the litters upon rein the experiments, it sists lodging as well or better than raised this spring.

RURAL, PEIVAajcj AND COMMUNITY INTERESTS (Ey F. K. SMITH) Community interests and work are bringing best results to rural districts. This does not mean that individual advantages must be sacrificed to the public welfare. Fori instance, it is impossible for a farmer to keep clean fields if his neighbors on all sides raise fox tail, 'Russian thistles, white top and other noxious weeds. Not even the farmer, who is deemed the most independent of all classes, can live unto himseif alone; but has learned to realize that the public welfare must be considered. The United States Department of Agriculture clubs, farms bureaus and other associations, the press and the various methods of advertising are bringing about better conditions. movements of With the to terms as tl dictate equipped the foundation or farmer, though all other vocations has been slow in demanding his rights. Why has movement been so long des layed? First they lacked leaders, and because they have in the past new been reluctant in adapting to or on force methods any rely save their own brawn and muscle. While others advertised their business, their wares and inventions, the farmer had the fiuits of his labors stored in granenes and cellars. There can be no better slogan for the farmer than United we stand, divided, we fall. Taken as a whole the rural districts are on the up grade, and climbing steadily to the top. The brotherhood of a good community is so broad, so helpful to all it's memand collectively bers, individually that they open wide fields to- the practical minds of all. Could the Pilgrims of old, who were the people from which the progressive spirit of the last half century has evolved the labor saving as well as the laboring institutions of today; stalk through our land of peace and plenty (neither of which the time permitted them) with the commodious farm houses barns, silos and poulrry houses, our flocks of graded sheep, dairy our community cocows, etc., operative creameries, butter and cheese factories, that can send their produce not only to our own but foreign countries with greater In their lumbering carts, products from one village or state to another. Could they hear the voice of some loved one, long dead, by a phonograph record, hear a telor radio message over ephone thousands of milec, the Inventors would doubt be sentenced to the stake. Could we of today, like Rip Vhn Winkle, take a twenty year nap and awaken to a full realization of what our graduates of the present time will have accomplished, we would feel that we had gone to sleep on a very low run of the ladder. We have all our young people of today as future possibilities of greatness. ii-i- - BARGAIN .
