INCREASE IN FARMS IN BEAVER COUNTY There was an increase of 52 farms and ranches in Beaver County, Utah, between April 1, 1930 and January 1, 1935, according to a preliminary tabulation of returns of the Census of Agriculture which began January 2, 1935, released today, August 10, 1935, by director William L. Austin, Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce. The number of farms and ranches was 447 in 1935 as compared with 395 in 1930. The average size was 112.1 acres in 1935 and 169.8 acres in 1930. The average value of land and buildings was $3,664 in 1935 and $7,837 in 1930. There were on farms and ranches 9,546 cattle on January 1, 1935, as compared with 9,101 cattle on April 1, 1930. On January 1, 1935, there were on farms and ranches 1,440 horses and colts, against 1,417 for 1930. Sheep and lambs for 1935 were 61,030 against 25,804 for 1930.

These figures for 1935 are for selected items only nad are subject to correction.

Weir, Chairman of the Nation al Steel Coporation, recently. "This natural capacity has been impotent recently because of the fear and uncertainty engendered among business men by gov-- ernmental interference." It is an often expressed belief that government can neither create nor prevent recovery but it can retard it for a discouraging long time. By stifling investments with taxation, by destroying condence through bureaucratic domination, and by standing in the way of industrial expansion through threats of more and increasingly stringent regimentation of the nation's productive machinery. Give industry a fair chance, and it will do its part to bring back good times. I I Imprisonment or death of many desperate bank criminals the past year has brought no appreciable reduction in attacks on banks, James E. Baum, in charge of the American Bankers Association Protective Department, has reported to his organization. In the six months ended February 28, 1935, he says, banks were targets for 169 daylight holdups and 40 night burglaries. He added that although banks that are not members number only about half those enrolled in the suffered a far great- association, . .they . . , er rate 01 auacK, namejy, r01 yoi icui of all the iiank robberies. Losies Show Decrease During the period under report, bank burglars and bandits exacted tribute amounting to $943,551 compared with losses totaling $1,257,000 a year ago, he said. This reduction in losses is attributed to the restrictions and other limitations in the exposure of surplus cash imposed last year by underwriters and bank supervisory authorities. The sharp reduction In the mate rial loss of money and securities resulting from bank robbery this year was "overshadowed by the killing of 2 bank employees, one bystander and 5 arresting officers," and since last August bank robbery also cost the lives of 15 criminals and caused physical injuries to 10 bank em ployees, 12 bystanders, 9 arresting officers and 8 bandits, a total of 62 casualties. Investigations by the association's agents resulted in the arrest of 36 forgers, 42 bandits and one burglar, or 79 of '.he 141 bank criminals re ported as heing apprehended during the period. . r It is through the that the producer finds what the public wants. It is this contact eflected back to the retailer purchases from the packer and the packer's selection of livestock that the trend has changed from mutton to lamb, from the heavy steer to baby beef. for a There is no substitute for a good steak, no substitute choice leg of lamb. But the remainder of the carcass must be sold, thus it is up to the retailer to merchandize his product so that all parts of the carcass steaks, chops, roasts, rounds, plate, brisket must be sold at prices that the consumer is able and willing to pay. It is impossible to raise a steer that can be converted entirely into rib steaks. Therefore the meat dealer, in cooperation with other elements of the livestock and meat industry, must continually do educational work to merchandize the cheaper cuts of meat that are wholesome Merchandizing of meat to this and, when properly prepared, huge metropolitan area require tender and appetizing. a large number of retail meat The National Convention now delers, in addition to the huge inheld at Los Angeles is a being in vestment slaughtering equipfor the industry, and sergood thing ment, refrigeration, delivery is the It etc. mini stated that vice, ber of meat retailers within the An- m time-lockin- g o Mrs. Ila Faux and two sons left Sunday for Moroni where they will spend a two weeks vacation with her father and mother-in-laMiles White was over from Richfield to spend the week end with hia family.

For ample, in 1915 the total slaughter of cattle and calves in Los Angeles county totaled 136,584 hile in 1934, the slaughter had jumped to 1,017.340. It required only 220,711 hogs in this county in 1915 and in 1934, slaughter totaled 812.297. A similar huge increase is shown in slaughter of sheep and lambs, the total in 1915n at 386,741 comparing with 1,019,-i1934. In the meantime, during the same period of years, population of Los Angeles county increased from 815,000 in 1915 to 2,309,-- 3 72. It takes a great deal of meat to feed this huge population and the thousands of visitors, for continues to hold its position as a resort and tourist housewife. dee-le- city limits of Los Angeles grew from 388 in 1915 to C81 at the present time. Despite the fact that nearly everyone eats meat at least once a day, there are comparatively few consumers who know much about meat. The result is that the satisfaction of the consumer depends a great deal upon the per sonality and dependability of the retailer. It seems to me that more depends upon the meat dealer than almost any other salesman, because the meat salesman's goods are not sold from shelf goods in cans and packages. s talk tha, UJlIlt hp,i you with tw Our advU i. sound bankine J Come In - t" ' 4- u I congratulatMfcJ tne progressive spirh st,:.. trying to lize the industry ta nj oi oetter service to Tubes 1 Batten Repair work of all ki; "SERVICE THAT IS IV.
