THE e It was our pleasure to attend one of the performances of "Carousel" at Sky View high school last week. We were the guests of the school. And if we were to comment on the quality of the production, about the only thing we could say that would In any way measure up to the excellent presentation was that "we enjoyed It even more than we did the professional show at the Valley Music Hall." It was, without a doubt, the most outstanding high school musical that we have attended and after the previous musicals at Sky View this isn't easy to aay. However, there was more than entertainment value to us in this production. We sensed an ever present delead or sire on the part of each member of the cast to supporting character, chorus girl or usherette felt or he she that Each the alL Impression gave give that his part was as Important to the success as that of Billle or the other leads. When this can be achieved then the teachers, who inspired such a spirit, have given the student more than a musical can ever give.

An estimated 4,000 farmers in the three states are affected by the settlement. According to Eldon Bing- nam, local urowers president, the new pact, subject to routine ratification by some local beet grower associations, introduces the raw price concept into the beet contract for the first time. Negotiations were completed in Boise Feb. 15 between the Amalgamated Sugar company and representatives of 11 grower groups. In the new agreement, beet prices will be determined as before on a scale which re flects both sugar content and the company's net returns from refined sugar sales. will However, the contract contain a lower limit. Amalgamated has agreed that, for pur poses, it s net return will be at least 78 points, less storage charges, above average New York raw sugarcane Drices for the settlement year. For example, if New York ,aws average 730 points for the 1968 beet settlement, the company could not compute beet payments on a net return of less than $8.08 per 100 pounds of sugar sold, less actual storage costs. It s anticipated, of course, that net returns will be much higher than this. The raw price provision would act as a kind of insurance policy lor the farmer in the event of depressed sugar market Blaine Gamble, chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Franklin county committee, urges that farmers who wish to take part in the programs file their applications early. The applications indicate the farmer's intentions concerning the program, including the extent of his participation. The later the filing, the more likely the office is to be crowded with a resultant delay in the whole process. Under the feed grain program for 1968, farmers may earn diversion and payments as well as qualloans on ify for their crop; feed grain diversion payments will be available to all program participants in lfMiB. The wheat program provides loans and marketing certificates which bring returns up to full parity for the part of the wheat crop allocated for Harold Thompson, presi domestic use; no diversion of the Weber county beet dent for available is payment growers association and chief wheat.
