This year on the farm promises to be the biggest season yet for those hybrid seeds designed to produce more food per acre. Their performance was hampered last year by bad weather, but farmers expect them to show what they really can do this time. The hybrids are the plants whose parents have been carefully chosen for many generations None of the great progress with them came easily. Painstaking work in the laboratory, test pilot and field must be carried on by agronomists for at least 10 years sometimes up to 20 years to develop new varieties of plants v But since the hybrids entered the big time early in the '30sj these J.

Adams COMMISSIONER COUNTY COMMISSIONER Trm 4-Ye- ar things have happened In represen tative states: Corn was up 22 per cent In Illinois and Iowa in 1946, although combination of heavy spring rains and midsummer drought wrecked the crop last year. The Illinois peak yield was 57 bushels average to the acre in 1946, compared with 42 bushels In 1932, the best prehybrid season. Wheat Yield Climbs wheat yields have Average climbed 20 per cent or more in Ohio, and still are rising. They have increased nearly a third in Kansas. varieties of soft red winter wheat In Ohio, like Poole, Fultz, and Fulcaster, have consistently yielded an average of 38 bushels an acre. Butler, the newest of the hybrids in production there, is yielding 43H bushels This means Ohio farmers will get an estimated six million bushels a year more than they would by sticking to the older Old-lin- Term i 3 'i e types. itX v pfe (j, m i iorge n, 'il f $SLf m .

Dunford DISTRICT JUDGE Judicial District ' Oats have coasted at around a national average of 32 bushels to the acre for several years, but a new variety called Clinton gets into the big show for the first time this year In test fields in Illinois It has run an average of nearly 83 bushels an acre for the last six years. Other major crops like rye, barley, clover rice and soybeans are better today too. In work with hybrids these men may choose parent stocks because they are heavy producers, or can resist disease and drought, or better fitted to the soils and clima. In which they are to grow.

Births averaged 32.1 for each 1000 persons while the national average was 23 8 for each 1000 persons. The death rate was low enough to place Utah near the top in the national average with 4815 deaths for a population percentage of 7.30 while the national average was 10.9. The maternal deaths (mothers dying in childborth) occured with the loss of one mother in 1500, while back in 1941 this death rate was three times as great with the loss of one mother in every 500. Infant deaths in 1947 amounted to 27.2 per 1000 births. Heart disease was the head of the list in the cause of deaths. Cancer was second in the list in the cause of deaths. Cancer was second in the list with accidental deaths a very close third. In the order to their importance, the other seven causes of death among the first ten were: cerebral hemmorrhage, nephritis, premature births, disease of infancy, diabetes and congential malformations. Air deaths for the year amounted to 67. Of this amount 52 were accounted for in the Bryce Canyon disaster. Mine and farm accidents took 36 lives and ten persons were electricuted.

ANOTHER FIRST FOR UTAH ed The Bureau of Mines announcrecently that Utah in the year 1947 was the largest producer of molybedenum. For a period of 23 years our neighboring state, Colorado, has led the field in the production of this metalitic element used in the strenkthening of steel. Home Owner Discovers Alcohol in Water Taps RARITAN TOWNSHIP, Surgical agronomists trade are few: A couple of tweezers, a needle, a pair of manicuring scissors, and a set of magnifying spectacles. Some plant work, as in the removal of tiny anthers and floreta from the flower of oats or soybeans, is so fine the human eye needs help; hence the magnifiers. Record books containing the complete ancestry of the plants help the workers to trace down the exact traits they want In the new breed. Information tags are attached to the plant, and the rest la left to sun, moisture and time to develop another step toward a possible new variety. Plant breeders admit that though extensive work has been going on for many years, there still Is much to be done in development of hybrids Efforts continue to push up yields, but now it is hoped to find varieties which will continue to give high production but will take less nutrients from the nations rapidly de- leting N. ohn McSorley thought there was lomething queer about the water In his housing development home. A test showed 12 to S3 per cent alcohol. The explanation, supplied by' the water department: The builders put alcohol in the pipes to prevent freezing during construction and apparently some had not been removed when the pipes were drained Apparent lack of a check valve allows the alcohol to back into the water supply line when the water pressure is low. HOW ABOUT BRACK? THIS, You have made repeated assertions that you intend to save the state a lot of money, but you have never 'said which services you would curtail except to discontinue the enforcement division of the Liquor Control Commission. Whats back of that, Mr. Lee? Would you spend less on and lose roads, federal grants? Would you reduce the already pitifully small contributions to the needy and aged people? Would you reduce the salaries of the school teachers? These throe departments expand 86', of all the money expended by the state. Administration of state affairs, including the salaries of state officers, takes only 2.48' ; of the money expended by the state. You could close up the state capitol, do away with all elective officers, including the governor, and still save less than three cents on the dollar. What are you going to do, Mr. Lee be a superman and create something out of nothing? (Paid political ad. Miltoin Weilenmann, Salt Lake L.
