Mr. Bundy, director and president, presi-dent, of the Nation-: 1 Reclamation I Association, conferred with repres- emarives of nine western irrigated states and as a result, resolutions will probably be prepared by the association to present to congress asking for a change at an early date. "Any revision of the present law must be made on an economic basis, for under the reclamation act, a man is limited to a 160-acre 160-acre farm. While it was the original orig-inal intention tf the law to provide pro-vide family-size farming units, be-cause be-cause of changing economic conditions, the act is no longer applicable to present farming practices. prac-tices. To limit a fatmer to 160 acres, actually limits his economic progress and the same applies to the rice growers of Texas and the fruit growers of California who farm reclamation acreage." Will Reduce Doe Kill A 16 per cent reduction in the number of doe deer to be killed in 1945 as; compared with 1944 is announced by the state board of big game control.

On The Horizon With an eye to the potentialities potential-ities of Utahls postwar future, which by the way is "just around the corner" a tour of highways 89 and 91 by state publicity men revealed that certain cities and towns are doing a fine preliminary prelimin-ary job of preparing to meet the great tourist caravan soon to appear ap-pear on the horizon, to either spend a few profitable days in Utah or ' to rush through the stats enroute to other places where their patronage will be more appreciated. ap-preciated. Several worthy examples were cited, among them being St. George. Geo-rge. This city's newly painted store fronts, curb and gutter installations, in-stallations, nicely painted houses green lawns, clean cafes and good servcie; modern auto models, fine museum and above all, a "hustle and bustle" that means ''life and progress" marked St. George as a place ready for the nations greatest great-est area the after.war period just ahead. Acting the part of postwar tourists, the publcity men quickly discovered the things that nauseate, and disgust the after-war visitor; stinking rest rooms, cafes swarming swarm-ing with houseflys, lazy, indifferent indiffer-ent waitresses in filthy uniforms; early edition tourist camps with outdoor plumbing and smelly bed clothes. , A tip to the wise should be sufficient. The coming guests have money, they will demand the best in accomodations. They are highly impressionable.

Utah's Sugar Beet Production Comparative figures have just been released on planted sugar beet acreage in the United States for the years from 1930 to 1945. It, is noted that in 1930 Utah planted six per cent of the acreage acre-age planted in the United States. Utah's highest peak of production produc-tion was reached in 1933 when we planted seven and three-tenths per cent of the total U. S. acreage. acre-age. Then in 1936 we reached the lowest point when we only produced pro-duced four and three tenths per cent, while this year our acreage is little better with only four and six tenths per cent planted. That is certainly a lean year with sugar shortage, facing the nation. Tomorrow's Airways Regular commercial flights to Europe are a definite prospect for ordinary U. S. travelers in 12 to 13 months. Travelers with priorities priori-ties are likely to find it easier to book transatlantic passage on commercial com-mercial planes within the next six months. Those who choose to travel abroad by air will also have a choice of routes ,to fly and companies com-panies to patronize. All this is the result of regulations recently made by the Civil Aeronautics board, which decrees that competition among American lines on world airways is to be the keystone of this country's postwar aviation policy. The agency has awarded transatlantic franchises to three competing lines Pan American Airways, American Expert Airlines Air-lines and Transcontinental and Western Air. These lines expect to' beg-in operations as soon as the army makes transport planes available and as soon as the Civil Aeronautics board settles landing rights with foreign nations. St. .
