EAR RIVER. VALLEY LEADER TREMONTON, UTAH, THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1932 VOLUME SEVEN 1 EXPERT SEES HOPE VEKLS. ANDERSON FOR POULTRYMEN (By Professor Byron Alder) The suggestion on preserving eggs for home use is very timely now for Utah home due to the fact that jcgs are so very cheap at present. The prospects are that eggs may be rather difficult to obtain and possibly expensive next fall. There are three reasons for that last statement: First, there was a marked reduction In numbers of hens in the U. S. at the beginning of this year as compared with last year or two years ago. This is very evident from the fact that receipts of eggs at the leading eastern markets are approximately 23 per cent less than last year up to April 15. Second, eggs are accumulating in storage at the present time at a very much slower rate than in previous years and an important part of the storage season is now past. On April 13 there were in storage in the five leading markets, New York, Chicago, 2 Philadelphia, and Boston, only cases of eggs as compared with 1,402,795 cases on the corresponding date last year. This is a decrease of over 1,000,000 cases or 74 per cent During the late fall and early winter months a large part of the demand for eggs is usually supplied from the cold storage holdings as production of fresh eggs is at the lowest point of the year during that period. there appears to be a rather '""Ng-fkereduction this spring in the number of chicks that are brooded as compared with the last few years. This means that there will be fewer pullets to come into production next fall. These three factors should carry to the poultry raisers two important suggestions. First, that there is yet time to brood chicks to fill the laying houses next fall, but only a very limited time for this important work: and second that the storage holdings of eggs next fall will undoubtedly be decidedly short as compared with prenot vious years and will therefore have the depressing effect on the eggs market that existed especially during the past two winters. The late hatched birds do not grow .and develop as rapidly as the earlier chicks due to the hot, dry summer weather and usually do not come into production until the peak of egg prices has been past. Poorly developed pullets are a handicap in the flock even when the prices of eggs are high and a much greater handicap for profitable egg production during periods of low prices. Good chicks, brooded under favorable conditions, and fed so as to grow them into ? strong, vigorous, well developed pul- Tas in the early fall, are the first et- 'iential for the profitable production. 366,-05- "Dairy Day" at Brigham City, Saturday, May 7th Next Saturday, May 7, "Dairy Day" will be held in Brigham City. All dairy cattle will be assembled on Forest Street at 9:00 a. m., where hose for washing the cattle, and facilities for watering them, will be provided. The judging will commence at 10 o'clock. Two of the best dairy judges in the state will do the judging. The ribbon. whicK. are a credit to any show, are now here. Two breeds of rattle will be judged at the same time, so that the judging should be done with much dispatch. The program committee advises that a real educational, entertaining program has been arranged for so that all can enjoy themselves from 9 o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the evening. A clown has been engaged to do acrobatic stunts, sing, and many things to entertain, especially the kiddies. The milking contest, which will be held at 3:30 o'clock, should create wuch interest among the girls and women folks. There will be sufficient cows on which 12 milkmaids can demonstrate their ability as milkers. A cash prize will be given to each contestant, and, at the same time, she can have a heap of fun, and a lot of fun will be in store for the spectators. Those wishing to enter please send in your name at once. One lady from Plain City, Weber County, has mailed in her application. Everything is in readiness for the big event. Parents take a day off, "bring in the kiddies and assist us in building up the dairy industry in Box Elder County. Exhibitors please do all you can in getting in some of your choice animals. Transportation will be allowed according to zone rates. Publicity Committee. DOX GIVES ADDRESS ON AUSTRALIA NUMBER THIRTY FOUR Elder Counhj Recalls Jim Brickjer Explorations M. I. A.

Anderson, who delivered a masterly address of the customs and characteristics of the people and of the beauties of the country. Elder Anderson fulfilled a very successful mission and was in nearly every part of Australia. His knowledge of Australia is comprehensive and in describing the people and country paid them many glowing tributes. The audience was well pleased to hear Elder Anderson and to welcome him home again from his field of labor. 1v f . i W. ' ? 1 . Agri. Supt. Advises On Beet Situation The rains of the past week have delayed the planting of beets except between showers on lighter ground, according to Agricultural superintendent Orson A. Christensen. In Box Elder County district about 6500 acres have been planted, and with the favorable condition caused by the rains nearly half that much more is expected to be planted before the planting season is over. The abundance of moisture will now permit the preparation of land for beets which it was thought would lose its moisture before it could be worked into suitable condition as a beet seed bed. The fieldmen of the company now encourage the planting of land broken from alfalfa, manured stubble land, or other lands where the moisture content was thought to be low. In such lands it is urged to use phosphate with the seed to give the plants a good start. Furthermore, being dissolved in the plentiful moisture, it will serve as the greatest insurance from blackroot damage to the young sprouts, especially in alfalfa ground. Mr. Christensen points out also the attention which should be given to beets now planted when weather settles, in breaking the crust which will form, either by use of a sharp tooth harrow, spike rollers, or devices of planks with spikes driven through and drawn over the field while the crust is yet soft, for the purpose of ripping or crunching the crust to let the air into the soil and allow the small beet sprouts to find a way through the crust. Beets which are up should be cultivated preventing covering with dirt by the use of shields. Breaking the crust, if done in time, is not difficult, but if left until the crust gets very hard is almost impossible to do in heavier types of soil. Time is the important element. Seasonally speaking, and not by the calendar, the season is yet early, much earlier than in 1930 when half the bents were not planted until May 5th. With prospects of a good year ahead, and the very favorable forecast by government experts so far as damage from destructive insects in concerned, condition? for further preparation and planting of land to beets are very encouraging. In this regard it is interesting to note that largely upon the forecast of government experts stationed on the Minadoka Project in lower Snake River valley the farmers g about Twin Falls and Burley are their beet acreage this year. Weather records show this year to be a repetition of 1925 in precipitation, was a very good crop year all around. trip-plin- Bear River City Holds Better Homes Meeting The three youths at the top of this group made the best carved soap models for a Jim Bridger monument.

Grain Growers Leaves for Chicago Inter-Moun- -' in Inter-Mounta- in OGDEN PEOPLE URGE LIONS TO HELP COLLEGE Presidnt Aaron Tracy Of Weber College Tells of School The Tremonton Lions Club was honored with the presence of President Aaron Tracy, of the Weber College at jOgden; James S. Eason, president of the Ogden Lions Club; Trace A. Turner, secretary; Attorney Joseph Chez; Reverend Harry Mommis, of the M. E. Church of Ogden and three young ladies who entertained, Jane and Doris Wangsgaard and Helen Tuller. These people from our metropolis city of the south were here in the interest of the Weber College, now a church institution but which will be turned over to the State in July, 1933 and probably disbandoned unless pressure is brought for its retention. President Eason introduced Mr. Morris as toastm aster, who, in turn, introduced President Tracy of the college. ' Mr. Tracy expressed his appreciation for the opportunity afforded to speak a few moments to the Lions of this city with relation to the Weber Collegs. He stated that there were twelve students coming from this community, of whom he was proud, and urged the Lions Club to help increase this number to 40 for the coming year, in which they expected 1000 students. The Weber college is a fully accredited school and with the opportunity of having the children home in the evening with a maximum cost of $150 per year, was a consideration not to be overlooked, he said Mr. Morris was the next speaker and stressed the value of small colleges where personal attention could be given as compared to mass education to the huge colleges and closed his remarks by saying that "the best investment possible to make is in human personality." Attorney Joseph Chez, who 6poke next, praised the Lions Club of this city and Lionism in general, saying that the ideals of Lionism were as high as humans could conceive and their success over all other clubs of the country, tho the Lions be the youngest one, is attributed to this fact. Mr. Chez praised President Tracy of the college and, in a very eloquent manner, made a very logical and forceful plea for the retention of the Weber College and urged that the Tremonton club sponsor at least one scholarship to the college, at a cost of $75 and two if possible. He said, "There are forces who are trying to do away with the Weber College, when it is turned back to the state" and he pointed out with what difficulty we might meet in trying to establish a junior college in Box Elder County, as time demands, if these people, who want it done away with in favor of great central mass education, have their way. He concluded his remarks by saying, "Not how many court houses, but how much justice; not how many churches, but how much religion and not how many schools, but how much education." To those ideals the Weber College is dedicated. The club gave the visitors a very warm reception and promised them their support in this worthy cause. President Eason brought the pro gram to a close by expressing his deep appreciation for the hearty reception given them and expressed a desire to cooperate with this club in any way possible. g, Report Work If You Have Any to be Done We wish very much to place some men at work who are in need of employment.
