Show COUNTY CHRONICLE GMItLARD Thurs, April 14,1949 New K--F "Traveler" Is Two Cars In One SOMETHING NEW in ihe automobile industry is the "Traveler;' a lower-price- d '49 multi-purpos- e sedan being introduced by Kaiser-Fraze- r dealers. To all appearances it is a conventional four-doo- r model. But the rear seat cushions fold away and the entire back opens to provide access to more than 130 cubic feet of cargo space. When not in use as a carry-al- l, the "Traveler" is a deluxe, family sedan. The cutaway-vie- w shows how the seat cushions and hinged rear panels function. Lclantl Peterson Buys New Cafe Leland H.

Mr. and Mrs. Pete?, visited here at Christmas time a returned from here to Washing Take Trip Sunday By Airplane Sunday Leo Burraston took me on an airplane ride north, up thru the "old river channel" that once drained this segment of Lake Bon-neville into Great Salt Lake We saw lots of water on the surface lands north of Sugarville; and at the Hot Springs there were two large lakes. Water even fur-ther north, and in the old channel passages, though small. I saw the famous Snow Plow bank of Lake Bonneville terraces, though not so good from the air as from afoot. We circled Cup Butte close and took pictures, and circled Riverside Butte close and took pictures, and circled River-side Butte, again taking pictures. On the way back we took pic-tures of Desert Mountains, and and especially the prominent black dyke running along the crest of one of the hills. It was a very pleasant trip and very informative. I had previously been over the area by auto, and this nicely supplements it. Farmers of Millard County are be-coming increasingly conscious of the advantages gained through the conservation of soil and water. As an illustration of this, consider the case of James Owens, a farmer in the Sutherland district, north-west of Delta. In the spring of 1947, Jim resol-ved to level a nine acre plot of land on his farm which had not been very productive and in his own words, " A headache to irri-gate". This land was high in the center causing ponding on the up-per end and resulting in the water logging of this and surrounding areas. The lower end was inclined to such an extent that it caused rapid run-of- f of water resulting in poor seed germination and low production. Topographical survey showed it was necessary to move 1,925 cubic yards of earth to level the plot. After leveling had been completed Jim made the folowing observations: "Before leveling this land it took me 24 hours or more to irrigate it with a four second foot stream of water. Now I water it in 10 hours. Furthermore I turn the water on at night and be con-fident that the land will be well irrigated when I turn the water off the next morning. Leveling the land has not as yet increased production because of mineral raising in the cut areas. Also experiments with green man-ure crops during the 1948 crop year have shown that the land was de-ficient in nitrogen. Jim plans to subsoil the plot this spring and spread five ton or more of barnyard fertilizer per acre. He expects to harvest a very good crop this fall. The above is another typical ex-ample of many similar improve-ments in Millard Csunty due to the assistance and incentive pro-vided through the Agricultural Con servation Association Program.
