Advantages Of Fall Plowing On Irrigated Land Spring farm operations may be taken out of the "hurry hurry" classification by adopting the fall plowing habit. This is only one of the two main advantages of turning over the turf in the fall as compared with spring plowing. The autumn operation not only gives a better distribution of labor but also hastens the spring sow-ing operation. On irrigated farms of Utah the spring season is one of the busiest because of seed bed preparation & planting. In the rush of these spring time jobs, plowing is a re- - latively slow procedure. Often the planting of crops particularly those that should be seeded early, must be delayed until plowing is com-pleted. Fall plowing under these conditions can more uniformity dis-tribute the labor demand and can effectively step up these spring-time plantings. Heavy soils respond favorably to fall plowing. The action of frost or storms of winter will mellow these soils and put them in good physical condition for spring plan-- , ting. Fall plowing aids in the decom-position of fa. heavy grass sod which is to be put into crops. The settling of such land during the Winter, following fall plowing, al-so tends to eliminate air pockets that may cause rapid loss of soil moisture when spring plowed. Steep or rolling land may be subject to, severe erosion if fall plowed. This factor may outweigh any advantage resulting from fall plowing sufficiently to warrant lea ving the plowing operation until spring. IChatter Box Dear Suzy, As of Wednesday morning there gathered in groups about the streets of Delta than at any other time since 1928. In fact it was not known that there were so many Republicans left in these parts. Most people thought that they had gone the way of the quimps and the only ones left took for their holes, just as the few remaining quimps do now. But for some strange reason a small group of Rpublicans, aided by a large group of Democrats, cleaned tip the county election like a hungry boy at a picnic. This put the county on the Re-publican side solidly and without deviation, for the first time in so many years that only the old timers can remember such a thing ever happening. There were some anxious mom-ents among the candidates as the results started rolling In, but as time went on the Republican tide grew stronger and they breathed a little easier. There were some anxious mom-ents at Deseret when A. T. (I Vote Straight) Black went in to vote. He was given a ballot and retired to the booth to put in just one X under the eagle, as he had always been taught to do, and as he has always done from habit of many times in a voting booth. As he folded his ballot he noticed that over tinder the rooster in the little cirle there there was already an X. Mr. Black is at a loss to under-stand why he happened to look at the Democratic side, as it was the first 4ime he had ever done so, and great was his horror when he saw that well-place- d X. Things happened quite fast at this point. Mr. Black exploded from thA honth with fire in his eves. and his talk was loud and strong, aimed at the judges, counters, on-lookers and whoever happened to be within shouting distance of the polling place. Mr. Black said, "I have alvfays been taught that the only way to keep a ballot straight and be sure to get it counted is to put just the one mark under the eagle. Now some ninny has messed it all up and put an R under that rooster. What will St. Peter say to me when he confronts me with that record of his which shows I ever had a ballot with an X under the rooster? The judges, clerks and those in charge of the polls had little to say. For one thing they were at a loss to explain the X already on the ballot, and too, Mr. Black gave them little time for talking as he had the floor and was de-termined to hold onto it. They blaimed the X on the open fall this year, the printers of the bal-lots, the deer hunt, the high price of seed, and on a bunch of kids they had let play with the ballots. But this did little to appease Mr. Black. Somewhat later, as tempers cooled, Mr. Black was given a nice new clean ballot and he put his X in his usual spot, somewhat mollified, but muttering that next time he voted he was going to take some scissors in to booth and cut away everything but the eagle and put that in the ballot box so that no one could cross him up. Deseret was the last precinct to report the voting, which was prob-ably caused by this unforeseen event. Arthur Godfrey on his early morn program said, "Interviewing Dewey on his race for the governorship of New York, where Mr. Dewey was far ahead in the race, Dewey had said, 'it may be possible for Tru-man to win and I am not claiming victory.' Said one of the reporters, 'why Mr. Truman isn't even in it.' And Dewey repleid, 'that's what you told me two years ago.' " Exchange Vows In Las Vegas Calvin H.

The cycle of the seasons moves swiftly, inexorably. November is already well along. It was two years ago, one Nov-ember day. The sky was a gray overcast; there was a little wind. I decided to climb into the Chief and fly alone up into the giay sky, to see how high the ceiling was.Not that I couldn't have found out by other means. The Watch House attendant could have told me. Furthermore, the overcast was just resting on the tops. of the highest peaks, which meant un-der 10, 000 ft. above sea level. The Chief climbed rapidly, head ing north, out toward the Desert Mts. At 200 ft. above the airport visibility was good. Same at 3000. At 4000 ft., gray wisps of fog swept by the little plane. I was up to the ceiling, the nearness to the clouds giving the sense of fast movement that one loses just af-ter take-of- f. Tt was safe enoueh to flv on up a little. Plenty of clear air below. Then, there was no more visibltity. I was surrounded by frozen fog, nearly a mile above the earth. Frost formed on the windshield. Better give it carburetor heat. Bet-ter get back down, too. Frost on the prop and wings would be bad. The altimeter showed just above 4000 ft., above Delta. Well, I had the satisfaction of getting the in-formation first hand, anyway. In dry air the windshield soon cleared. Made the long glide back to the airport. Over the Cherry Creek Mts. snow was already falling. Little did I suspect that that storm her-alded the worst winter in all hist-ory, the winter of 1948-4- WHAT'S NEW ....

Interested readers may turn to their July 20, 1950 issue of the Chr-onicle, where in this column ran a longer article on the uses of helicopters, stating, in part, that the LA Airways Co. was then plan-ning to build a helicopter terminal at Sixth and Grand Ave., to pro-vide passenger service in 'copters carrying 12 to 24 passengers, with the longest run, to San Berdoo, scheduled for 36 minutes.

He was in the hosiptal 9 weeks, and had three operations during the time, and 18 blood transfusions. Mr. Ogden says " I thank all who visited me in the hospital, and those who sent me cards and letters, And I thank all those who called, even if they were unable to see me, and those that applied to give blood, but Tor some medic-al reason could not. And I am deep ly grateful to those who gave blood to pay back the blood need-ed for me. Thanks a million." Mr. Ogden is feeling fairly good, but weak, since his return to his Sutherland home.
