Fish were furnished by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife hatchery at Springville, Utah. Alden D.

Soil Conservation Service personnel per-sonnel assisting1 with the delivery de-livery to farms throughout the Basin last week were Howard M. Ivory, John L. Swenson and Dale R. Ashby. This is the fourth year fish have been furnished furn-ished to district cooperators, Mr. White stated. Fish stories from these ponds are the usual kind. Cooperators report that fingerling trout will grow to 8 or 10 inches within a year. The tallest tale is the report of 4-pound trout being taken from a pond stocked several sev-eral years ago. One farmer said he had fish by the tubs-full when he drained his pond this fall. Deliveries this year were made to 16 cooperators in Duchesne. Du-chesne. Talmage, Altonah.
