A. 0. BEET SEED
WORTH THOUSANDS
Tho Agronomy profossors of tho
' ' Agricultural College hnvn Just plant

pounds of sugar beet seed, which they
nay represents thousands of dolliirs
of actual expenditures t H (he Heed

olovin years or experimentation and

Itnliilng (lie highest per cent of sugar.
It originated In seed secured from tho
dopnrtnienT of agriculture at Wnsh
I ingtoii In lytKI. During the eleven
' years thousands of analyses have been
made.
The Agronomy people of the Col
lege have for some time entertained
the belief that sugar beet seed grow
ing on a commercial, scale mny In tlmo
be made a success In Utah. Whllo
the possibility of such u thing docs
not depend wholly on the segrega
tion of this strain, yet this strain is
considered tho best yet bred there.
They will carefully husband nil tho
offspring seed from this precious two
pounds and thiiB In n fow years hope
to present to the stato n Btraln of
seed in sufficient quantities to make
their dream of our beet growers' buy
ing lliolr seed from Utah producers
a reality.

Enthusiastic for Good Roads
S. J, Taylor nttcnded,tho good loads
meeting nt Provo nnd is enthusiastic
over tho King road drag and what It
will accorapllBh. Mr. King who halls
from Missouri ia tho inventor of this
inexpensive Instrument thnt has revol
utionized dirt roads. Ho took some of
tho worst roads In Provo and son had
them lu first class condition. Mr
Tnylor will hnvo some of the ma
chines mndo for Lehl nnd will uso
them on our Btreets nnd hopes there
by to have them kept In much better
condition than In tho pnst.
Tho dovico conslstB of a log split
In two nnd ono section fastened be
hind tho other liv. means of braces.
On ono end or each brace there Is
fastened a steel cutting surfneo which
draws tho dirt toward tho center of
tho road, whllo tho other part of the
log packs tho dirt Bolld. Tho secret
of tho whole affair Is to keep tho
road rounded nnd squeeze tho wnter
out of It. It 1b not tho wnter thnt
falls on the rond that does tho damiigo
but that which stands on It.
Tho county will also ubo tho drag

got tho people to nttond Just for this
ono dny.
Tho movement la nation wldo and

hoped will get tho pcoplo In tho ha
bit of onco moro coming bnck Jo the
churches instead of spending tho
Lqrd'B dny in tho thoatrer, rcsortB
and other ungodly placen of amuse
ments. - Tho movement away from the
churches has. been very rapid or re
cent years and ministers have been
at their wltB ond to know now to
keep tile people. Tho thouglitful
olement or tho nation rear thnt tho
unlvorcal desecration or the old-tlmo
Christian Sabbath portends a lower
moral standard or tho nation's morals
and hence stnrted the "go to church
ijunuay" movements.
Tho peoplo or tho country towns
will not need tho prodlng thnt will

Siindny Evening
Last Sunday n well nttondod meet

Superintendent Mnthlson. Chairman
G. A, Goatcs, of tho school board, pre-l

the Stnto Superintendent, who enw1
ated a favornblo Impression. Super
intendent Mnthlson's strongest arcu-i
mem wns innt consolidation woula
provide moro effectlvo supervision. On'
this question ho said: i
Consolidation makes It quite pos
aiblc to havo ntfccBsory and erfcctlyo
.lupcrvlslon. The board nppolnts Ita
superintendent mid holds him very
largoly responsible tor tho success
ot tho schools. Tho superintendent,
with the approval or tho board, ap-l
Tonus supervisors, such as a primary
supervisor, supervisor or art, or mu
sic, manual trainings etc. Tho sup
erintendent hlmscir outlines tho pinna
or work for tho grammor grades uuu1
the primary mipervisor for tho iuur
grades. The special supervlsora out
iluo tho other special work now
taught in tho schools which work enn
oo none neither economically nor well
by the nverago teacher without sklll
tui supervision. From direct obBor
votlon and rrom his supervlBora tho
Juporlntendent learns tho standing or
his schools, their strong points, their
weak points, mid he is lu a position
co apply the necessary remedy to
urlng them nil up to standard. The
uonru members meet weekly or semi
monthly, as tho enso may be, and
with the superintendent discuss ways
nnd menus tor the operation nnd the
improvement or the schools. Frequent
meetings or nil school trusteos with
tho superintendent in an unconsoli
dated county to discuss ways and
melius Tor tho betterment or the
schools, is inmost unknown. Yet that
such meetings are nccessury to the
best interests or tho schools Is a ract
that oven opponents to consolidation
as well as everyone else will readily
admit.
