Mr. Bundy, director and president presi-dent of the National Reclamation Association, conferred with representatives rep-resentatives of nine western irrigated ir-rigated states and as a result resolutions will probably be prepared pre-pared by the association to present pre-sent ta congress asking for a change at an early date. "Any revision of the present law said Mr. Bundy, "must be made on an economic basis for under the reclamation act, a man is limited to a 160-acre farm. While it was the oitginal intention of the law to provide family-size farming units because be-cause of changing economic conditions, con-ditions, the act is no longer applicable ap-plicable to present farming practices. prac-tices. To limit a Utah farmer to 160 acres, actually limits his economic progress and the same apples to the rice growers of Texas Tex-as and the fruit growers of California Cali-fornia who farm reclamation acreage." Other acute problems vital to western irrigationists were discussed dis-cussed at the meet, Mr. Bundy stated.

Utahns To Reneiit Utah producers of canned peas, tomatoes, string beans, honey and other products can enjoy a tremendous market on the west coast now and after the war asserts as-serts Frank B. Roller, formerly of Salt Lake City and now a grocery gro-cery products agent of San Francisco On The Horizon j With an eye to the potentialities potentiali-ties of Utah's postwar future.! which by the way is "iust around j the corner" a tour of highway S9 ' and 91 by State publicity men I revealed that certain cities and I towns are doing a fine preliminary prelim-inary job of preparing to meet the great tourist caravan soon to appear on the horizon, to either spend a few profitable days in Utah or to rush through the state enroute to other places where their patronage will be more appreciated. Several worthy examples wore cited, among them being Saint George. This city's newly painted i store fronts, curb and gutter in-stallatons, in-stallatons, nicely painted houses, green lawns, clean cafes, good service; modern auto motels, fine museum and above all, a "hustle and bustle" spirit that means "life and progress" marked St. George as a place ready for the nation's greatest era the after-war after-war period just ahead. Acting the part of postwar tourists, the publicity men quickly quick-ly discovered the things that nauseate and disgust the after-war after-war visitor: stinking rest rooms, cafes swarming with houseflies, lazy indifferent waitresses in filthy uniforms; early edition touritst camps with outdoor plumbing and smelly bed clothes. A tip to the wise should be sufficient. suf-ficient. The coming guests have money, they will demand the best in accomodations. They are highly impressionable. To anyone any-one interested in the immediate and future welfare of Utah, a visit to St. George is recommended recommend-ed as a tonic.

Every pamphlet is a "Utah Salesman" and a goodlv percentage of the literature will create a desire to return at some future time to more fully enjoy the state's attractions. Uiahn Is Nominee Utah is honorea in the fact that Ferrell H. Adams, state auditor aud-itor is a candidate for the position posi-tion of director of the Municipal Finance Officers' Association. Mr. Adams gained national recognition rec-ognition by his active participator participa-tor in a recent regional conference con-ference at Boise, Idaho. If elected, elect-ed, he will serve two years.

Hall had been caught by Wyoming Wyo-ming officers and faces one to twenty years in jail. Food Rules Revised A revision by the State board of the Sanitary code promises better health for Utahns.
