Ted Smith, president, and Stan Peterson, representing the Payson Junior Chamber of Commerce, requested permission to sponsor a street marking prefect in Payson. Meeting with the Jaycee representatives was Larry Lather, Taylor Machine and Supply Company in Salt Lake City. The Jaycees proposed to install the markers with the City paying the cost of purchasing them. The markers which were chosen by the club would cost $8.45 each if purchased in lots of 150 or more. Mayor Dunford recommended that the city enter into an agreement with the Payson Junior ' Chamber of Commerce to furnish the markers and the Jaycees to install them.

Cost of the car wash will be $1.00. The car wash was originally scheduled last Friday, but because it rained most of the day, the girls changed their car wash to this Friday. The girls are sponsoring four car washes to raise funds to assist in purchasing uniforms for the members of the Payson High School Pep Club next year. Two more car washes will be held following the one Friday. They will be on July 31 and August 21.

They are Joel Cooley and his wife, Ruth, of DeRidder, La. He is a member of the school board and she is a school teacher. They were fascinated by the grandeur of the mountains, yet a little frightened by their towering strength. They had never seen schools in Louisana to compare with the new Parkview Elementary School in Payson, the new high school in Provo or the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Irrigation in Louisana is unnecessary', and they learned mich about storing water in reservoirs and spreading moisture to farm lands through visits to the lakes in Payson Canyon and Deer Creek Reservoir in Provo Canyon.

Donald Daley reported that after he installed 2,850 linear feet of concrete ditch he saved 100 inches or 2 acre inches per acre of water the first turn and irrigated easier than he had ever done before on his 50 acre oi chard. He still believes he can get more efficient use of his water by shortning his runs and by not spreading the water out so far as he has been doing. Other farmers report savings of up to 13 of their water after they level their land. Fifty-tw- o conservation plans have been prepared involving 3,111 acres of irrigated land, 56 acres of dry farm land and 5.060 acres of range land. These plans are just the first step toward complete Conservation farming. It will take some time before all planner improvement work is established on these farms. Several practices are advocated by the District Board of Supervisors which can be applied by the farmers and ranchers without a heavy financial outlay. These practices when applied will add materially to the economics of a farm operation; limited tillage, conservation crop rotation, pasture management, good range forage management, mechanical weed control, irrigation water management, green manure, fertilizer application. These will pay big dividends and when coupled with the mechanical measures results can be and often are very good. Patricia Mitarai Wins U of II Scholarship Patricia S.
