NEW BOOK WRITTEN ON
IRRIGATION In UTAH

The history of irrigation in Utah
from pioneer days to 1919 is given in
a book entitled "The Development of
Institutions under Irrigation" written
by DR.. George Thomas, professor of
economics at the University of Utah.
In discussing the work of the pio-
neers DR.. Thomas writes: "The Nor
mons were the first people to estab-
lish in America and extensive civil
cation with it's economic basis rest
ing almost wholly upon irrigation ag-
griculture. Through the efforts of the
Utah pioneers a means had been dis
covered and successfully applied
whereby large areas of the land of the
West were redeemed.
Or. A. l.. Neff, also of the Univer-
sity faculty says of this new book;
"This authoritative contribution by
DR.. Thomas eliminates problems
fundamental in the economic life of
this and other western common
wealths. The development of irriga-
ton institutions and practices in this
state has been such that all arid sec
tions of the world are looking to
Utah's experience for instruction and
guidance. Dr. Thomas book embodies
the result of years of careful inves-
tigation of this characteristic institu-
ton of Utah and is a contribution to
knowledge that reflects credit and
honor both on the author and the
builders of this commonwealth"
Perhaps you are familiar with the
above organization and its activities,
but many in our own state are rot.

But, even so, it does not necessarily spell the
doom of the race. 1t may mean suffering for many,
for a time 1t may cause hardships which we have
not experienced for many years But five dollar wheat
cannot destroy civilization nor for more than year
or so precptate great hardshps, for the that
the year following such price for grain, more and
more people would be ddriven back to the soil, where
foodstufs in greater abundance would be produced
1t does not require as great numbers to grow food to
sustain the race as many suppose although it prob
ably requires more than are now working upon the
land If there should come a real and severe food
shortage. driving people in large numbers to the
farms and opening up new farming land, it would be
found that fabulous amounts could be raised in sea-
son. And fve-dollar wheat might, for that reason,
serve as blessing in disguise.

WHY THE WILD CAT IS WILD
Ii Really Doesn't Matter, As the Un- tanned Feline Is Of No Account
 Anyhow


 In spite of many academic discus sions, nobody really cares what makes the wild cat wild because the wild cat is no good even when he is tame But it makes all the difference in the world whether useful livestock is trained or wild. The finest colt in the world, product of the best draft stock, is of little use to farmer unless he has been broken to harness, is bridle wise and tractable.
 A COW may be a champion milk pro- ducer but she is of comparatively lit- tie value if no one can milk her. A setter may carry the blue blood of Count Gladstone and have a nose for birds that is unequalled but nobody wants to hunt behind him unless he has felt the jerk of the trainers choke line and learned not only to find birds but give his owner an opportuni- ty to bag them.
 It is exactly the same way with dol lars. The country today is overrun with wild dollars. They are as nu- merous as the lie ls of wild horses and buffalo that nsed to roam the plains of the west aaG just about as useful. If you capture tteni. all you

can do with them is lock them up in 2 cage to keep them from getting out. destroying your financial fences and ;rampling your garden plots. You cannot even handle them without their getting away e doing you some harm.
 But if you tame them and train them by continued and patient and regular investment in safe securities such as Government Savings Stamps, Treasury Savings Certificates or Lib erty Bonds at present advantageous market prices you can make them work for you faithfully and well. In- vesment is the only known method of subduing wild dollars but it must be safe investment. Like every other animal trainer you must have pa- tience and the lesson must be repeated until it is thoroughly learned.

FARMERS NEED HELP IN
 CHARGING VATS

Farmers of Baxter Go. are calling for help in charging their old dipping vats so that they may dip their cattle as protection from wood ticks and flies, reports W. B. Wolf, County Agent. Several vats have already been charged for this purpose and re- quests for charging of others are com ing to the county agent from time to time.
 Dipping cattle in arsenical solution will not eradicate the common wood tick or the flies, but it does give the animal temporary relief that aids in maintaining healthy condition. Dip ping also cleans up the skin of the cattle from any scurf that may accu- mulate and tends to cure up cuts or scratches on the animal that might de- vaop an infection.

PLANT LOW PLACES TO MEAD
 CIV GRASSES

Many low spots in cotton and corn fields and fields planted to other cul- tivated crops in Arkansas, would fur nish much greater returns if planted to a meadow, is the opinion of A. D.. McNair. Specialist in Farm Manage ment of the Extension Division. Col lege of Agriculture, University of Arkansas.
 Hay is the easiest of all crops to produce and yet it is sadly neglected on the average farm" says MT. Me Nair. ''This low land on many farms if planted to hay grasses. will furnish enough hay to feed the animals of the average farmer and save paying out money for product that can so easily be raised at home"
 After making an economic survey of about 80 farms in Lee county MT. McNair found that the hay consumed by the work animals of the farmer was small and in many cases the far mers. were buying hay when they could have raised it on these low spots which are so unprofitable in culti- vated crops.
 The low areas can be set to timo- thy or red top easily provided the ground is plowed late in summer and narrowed to kill weeds and grasses advises MT. McNair. Seed should be .sown in September. Either crop will produce good yields the next year. Two crops can be secured from the land by sowing lespedeza on the tim othy or red top in March of the next spring. Lespedeza should be sown at the rate of one bushel or less to the acre. By this procedure the timothy or red top can be cut in June and the lespedeza in September or October.
 Timothy or red top and lespedeza will yield more than a ton of hay to the acre, making total of two tons or more when the two crops are sown. At the present retail price of hay, these crops would be worth S75 an acre or more. This is a good return from land that is often wasted and the outlay of labor is very small.

NOT IN POLITICS

Strenuous objection to the partici- patton of Red Cross officials in polit- ical campaigns was voiced gy Frede- lick c. Munroe, general manager of the American Red Cross, of Washing ton, in communication recently re- ceived at Southwestern divisional headquarters of the Red Cross at St Louis.
 The letter, in part, follows:
 'In view of the already widespread activities in behalf of the many can- didates in connection with the coming general election it seems advisable to invite your attention to the fact that the American Red Cross, embrac- ing in it's membership as it does ad- herents of every faith and party, is and must always be maintained as an organization of purely non-partisan and non-political character. The nee essity for keeping before the public at all times the non-political charac- ter of the organization demands the earnest thought and o-operation ol all Red Cross officials ant members.
 Where Red Cross officials are ac- tually candidates for office the dan ger of misunderstanding in the public mind is always present, and we have recommended that in such cases it would be probably best for these of- ficials to resign from their Red Cross offices. Where Red Cross officials are actively sponsoring the candidacy of others, the utmost care should be taken to avoid mentioning their Red Cross connections and where a misun- derstanding as to the status of our or ganization is likely to result resigna- tion from their official Red Cross posi- tions would be in order. The matter is one to be determined largely by com mon sense and usually by the individ-

A CEMETERY-AND A SERMON

It was neat little country ceme- tery much like most little country cemeteries. yet there was something queer about 1t. There was the arched gateway and the customary weeping willows by it. The clipped hedge was like most cemetery hedges. The tomb- stones, were about the average run of tombstones. But withal there was something queer-even shocking Then you discovered what it was These were truthful tombstones. Con- soiing piatitudes-"Too pure for earth" and the like-found no place. Instead, there were such epitaphs as these: "Mother-walked to death in her kitchen;" Sacred to the memory of Jane-she scrubbed herself into eternity;" "Grandma-washed her self away" "Susie-swept out of life with too heavy a broom
 The people who saw the cemetery and there were thousands of them may have been shocked for the in- stant, but they came away with the thought that one might be better for seeing such a cemetery. For, you see 1t was miniature cemetery, 3 feet square, and it was part of an exhibit at the Montana State Fair. Such lev ity with the most solemn thing that mankind knows, could nQtuhe justified merely on the theory th4e the things said were true-but those who saw it came away with the belief that it was justified by way of keeping just those things from being true. And that was the purpose of the exhibit, placed there by the agricultural extension department of the State Agricultural College of Montana. It was meant to emphasize the need for home con- veniences. for lack of which many a farm woman has gone to her grave before her time.
 There were other exhibits designed to drive home the same hard truth. One was a model showing a bleak farmhouse on a bare hill. At the bot tom of the hill ran a little stream, and by the stream were barns and cattle. Struggling up the hill toward the house with two heavy pails of water was a bent old woman and the lepend was: Convenient for the cattle-but not for mother" Then there was a farmhouse with the water supply as 1t should be, the woman in the yard sprinkling her flower beds with hose. And the inscription read: Convenient for mother-and the cattle too" An other model showed a kitchen as it should not be. And there was the legend: "A long-distance kitchen shortens life"

You Had Another Sleepless Night PEPSINOL Will Correct Causes
 That Keep You Awake

You rolled and tossed restlessly all night and got up feeling worse than when you went to bed. Your tongue was coated. There was bitter taste in your mouth. Your breath was sour. How many times has this happened? Are you going to wait until you get down sick before you act-before you get PepSinol and let it correct the digestive faults that are wrecking your nerves and thinning your blood?
 Pepsinol acts directly on the causes Of stomach trouble. It insures complete digestion and the assimilation of all the food that creates strength, blood. nerves and tissues. Its use will keep your brain and body healthy, your nerves calm and steady.

CLEANING UP THE
MIND

They're digging Il well out on the

That's simple enough. Anybody
can dig a we'll who has the ground
and a big enough spade and a strong
enough back and a-plenty Of good
determination.
But when you build an old-fash-
toned well, you have to brick il up,
and in this country, just now, bricks
are worth their weight in gold and
the young rancher is not the proud
possessor either OF a gold mine or
an oil well or a movie contract.
Scour for Good Feeling.
The best he could do was 10 hunt
around and get hold of some old
bricks. Hurrah, He was lucky
enough TO find them at a fairly rea-
scnable price.
And now they're at wOrk-dOing
what do you guess?

that's going right on But while
the men are digging, everybody in
the family is out with the scru bling

So the new well is going to be
