Why is it, since the streets are>o
extremely bad and dusty, that we
cannot have the sprinkled area ex-
tended temporarily to take in some Of
the principal streets, such as Main
street Immediately south of Center
street, and Center street itself for
block each side of Main street? The
condition of these streets are a pos
tive disgrace to the city, and give
travellers bad impression of the
town. OF course, this will be only
temporary relief, but it twill help
some"

HOW TO INCREASE
1918 WHEAT CROP
By HENRY HARRIS

One Of the best ways to increase
our crop production of nearly any
kind is to have the proper rotation.
This is more true to wheat now than
any other crop because it depends on
the soil for its fertility.
In Utah we look to our dry-farming
for an increase of wheat production.
Our irrigated lands should be used
for more intense cropping.
Many of our farmers made failure
Of their 1917 wheat crop on dry-land
because they were over anxious to
produce wheat and did not follow the
practice of successful dry-farming.
We are learning that to grow wheat
without irrigation certain methods
must be followed or failure will re-
suit. The summer fallow, conserving
the moisture of two winters for one
crop is an important factor.
Whether we are dry-farming or
growing wheat under irrigation, a
few things apply to both methods for
increased production.
Better tillage, better seed bed, a
little more time spent in putting the
ground in first class condition.
Better seed, the securing of or Sc
Letting of good seed. No one thing
will influence the crop like good seed.
If we want to get better returns for
our work, spend little time selecting
and growing better seed or pay the
other fellow to do it for you. In
other words if you will not or can not
spend the time to select or grow some
good seed, you should, for your own
profit and increased production, pay
some man who will produce better
seed for you.
What one farmer has done should
inspire others to do, when it shows
such good results for time and money
spent He purchased one peck of ex-
ira good seed wheat, paying what
seemed an extra high price. He plant
ed it and gave it special care and that
fall hand selected the best of the heads
and the following year gave this seed
special care, and after five years of
careful selection, he is now producing
ten bushels more per acre. He plant
not seem much but when you think
he had 800 acres this year, you can
easily see that three thousand in
creased bushels has paid him well
for the time and effort he spent in pro-
ducing the better seed grain he is
now using. What is more, he is still
continuing to select and produce some
choice seed grain. He konws that it
pays to do it.
Our government has established
grain standards and this should and
will help to improve the quality of
wheat. Improved quality means in
creased production.
Favorable weather conditions has
much influence on dry-farm wheat.
Shortage of rain can be helped by bet
ter conservation of the moisture that
falls during the winter.
Now list he time to secure your seed
for planting. Do not be satisfied with
just ordinary wheat for planting. To
increase our wheat crop we must fol-
low some or all of the suggestions
| have given. We must be patriotic
and at the same time make money.

The Pathetic Side of 1t.
A number of fathers and brothers
stood anXiously on the sidewalk await
ing the momentous verdict that was
to be brought downstairs by those who
passed in to undergo the test as to
Ikysical fitness, and there was a sus-
picision of moist eyes and deep sighs
were heard as the young men came
down bearing the news
"Well, l passed." was the oft-re-
peated remark.
One young man cheerfully an
bounced that he had passed. "He is
"a good sport said friend standing
near. ''for when he was called his
young wife became hysterical as her
one hope was that he would be re-
Jected physically. i wonder What she

As the men came downstairs many

filed notice of application for exemp-
ton as required More, indeed, than
anyone dreamed of. They have now
ten days in which to file their claims
and complete their cases to present to
the board. Opinion is divided as to
what the local board will do and it is
generally believed nov that exemp-
tons will not be easy to secure. The
significant statement by the provost
marshal general that the nation had
to be considered first indicates that
there will be a mighty good reason
shown if man is not called to the col
ors after having passed the physical

PROVEN RULES EXPLAINED
BY CROP EXPERT CAMPBELL

Mr.. Campbell. agricultural expert
OF the Southern Pacific Railway
company. In his talk at the Chamber
OF Commerce Friday afternoon. EN-
phaslzed and illustrated three main
ideas.
Timely and proper preparation Of
the seed bed.
Planting after the ground has
warmed thoroughly.
And thorough and timely cultiva-
tlon.
BY means OF lantern slides he
graphically showed the good results
to be obtained by following certain
well established laws on these
points. He did not advise too deep
plowing; the condition Of the seed
bed being Of more Importance. He
recommends fall plowing--to be fol
lowed In the spring with the disk
both ways, and thorough narrowing;
80 that there will be a fine mulch
about two inches in depth that would
conserve the moIsture---an import
ant item In this climate OF little
summer rain fall.
He also cautioned against plant
ing until the soil had become pro-
perly warmed. A shorter season.
with the seed planted after the soil
is properly warmed, will bring better
results than trying to force the seed
Ing too early.
