Show i GREEN GROWS THE GRASS Inigstien of Kesdswlcnds Application of water to the soil by irrigation is one of the few factors in this complex problem of meadowland management that was introduced by man and over which he still exercises a high degree of control. Concepts that have evol- ved concerning water management have perhaps had a definite purpose and filled a need. Relatively recent research results indicate that when the total picture is projected to the future, these practices have some serious weaknesses. Such weaknesses need to be considered and corrected if future generations are going to have the opportunity of using these meadows G AS -- TOONS CorJrdoJ By f.hn By Lenara Huish that have proven so valuable to present day ranch operations. Results of research in every state where jnradow projects are being carried on ind cate that the long time practice of meadows by continuous wild flooding has done more to reduce yield than any oth r practice outside of Many mountain meadows are continuously irrigated from shortly after the winter snows have melted until the water supply is gone or until it is time to harvest the Ranchers have the forage. misconcept that they need to put all the water into the soil that they possibly can so the plants will have it to utilize after the irrigation supply is gone. With the type of soils g over-grazin- g. that are prevalent in these meadows as discussed in a JOHNSON previous release of this series, the weakness of these practices becomes readily apparent.

The Foundations 1959 program was announced by Roger M. Blough, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation. Colleges in the Intermountain area to receive grants include: Brigham Young University, St. University of Utah, and Westminster College in Utah; Colorado College, Loretto Heights College, Regis College, University of Colorado and University of Denver in Colorado; College of Idaho, Ricks and Northwestern College, the plant.

In announcing the Foundations 1959 program or Mr. Blough said: The program, formulated by the Trustees of the Foundation, takes into account divers and changing needs in the field of higher education, and provides breadth of coverage balanced with significant allotments to selected institutions. Colleges and universities included in the program have demonstrated they merit assistance because of their educational quality or their enterprise and perserverance in enhancing excellence. The Foundations eight-paprogram includes: Operating e Grants, $667,000; or Capital Grants, $1,000,-00Teaching Aid, $180,000; Fellowships (Student - Aid) $190,000; Project Aid Grants, $113,000; Quality - Improvement Grants, $35,000; Association Support, $80,000; and Basic Research Grants, $60,000. In commenting on the initial Basic Research Grants to be made by the Foundation, Mr. Blough said: On some early tomorrow, perhaps, private - sector research may equal that of government today in space. Much of the basic and fundamental research in private sectors must be done in uinversities instior university-associate- d tutes and in similar places; all of it must be done by faculties or by experts trained and in similar places; all of it must be done by faculties or by experts trained in educational centers. Placing substantial sums behind promising scientists and humanists through basic research grants to institutions with which they are affiliated is ina most prudent long-tervestment for the nation, its institutions and individuals. These initial Basic Research Grants were made for three projects in support of basic research directed toward in knowledge. d They concern physical features of the earth the polar regions, the oceans, and the earths crust. - HEADGATIE LIFE-LON- G The Payson Chronicle, Pavson, Utah Spring Lake News See SERVICE NO UPKEEP!

I like the results I get from USS Nitrogen., Mr. Allen and many other Utah farmers have learned that maximum yields and profits can be achieved only with proper fertilization. And for nitrogen, successful farmers prefer USS Nitrogen Fertilizers USS Ammonium Nitrate (33'2 N), USS Ammonium Sulfate (21 N, 24 Sulfur) or USS Anhydrous Ammonia (82 N).
