Show Highlights Of Two College Meets Listed Visitors to the two conferences held at the Utah State Agricultural Agricultur-al college last week had the opportunity oppor-tunity cf hearing experts in various lines, according to extension service officials. Conferences which were held Included In-cluded the nineteenth annual 4-H club leaders training school, convening con-vening February 28 to March 5 and the yearly irrigation school! Which met from February 28 to March 4. Extracts from some of the important im-portant speeches of the two conferences confer-ences follow: Dean George D. Clyde, of the college's col-lege's school of engineering- Two possible means exist of expanding acreage of irrigated land in Utah. They are: more economical use of the water now available, and more complete storage facilities to make more moisture available. The flow, of streams does not corresi-Ond to the need for water, so we must store water to stabilize the flow. Records of the flow of a stream . over a long period of time are very useful in de ermining the proper form of storage of moisture. Director William Peterson of the college extension service: There are certain 'qualities of leadership' which everyone who hopes to be an effective leader must have. They include foresight, vision, thrift, the; regard for and respect of his followers, fol-lowers, willingness, honesty, broad- mindedness, tact, patience, good : naturedness, cleanliness in thought and action, and determination. Reed Jerman, deputy state engineer: en-gineer: Utah has almost as many largo reservoirs for water storage ) as s'r.e needs. Our efforts should be : ben',' toward conserving water thro the agencies of consolidation of col'atcrial canals, construction of small reservoirs and diversion dams, better maintenance cf existing canals, ca-nals, and a readjustment cf water! i-glus. j Kuuie Merritt, extension econo-mis econo-mis v. the United States de-I pa.'tment of agriculture: The most .;i .'p.;rL:mt 4-11 ciu'c project is sue- j ct'S ul achievement in personality dev'L..i ..i ent.
