S. church held a short religious service Sunday morning at the civilian conservation camp at Dock Flat. The visitors were cordially received by Captain Robert Sharp, commander in charge, who assembled the men in the large, newly erected mess hall. The men at the camp are mainly from New York City, and Captain Sharp explained that arrangements are being made to have a Catholic priest of Salt Lake City also conduct services there, as the men are largely of that faith. , Merlin Cook of Willard was in charge of the services Sunday morning, and besides the rendition of a musical program, an interesting talk on the early history of Utah was given by Edwin Baird of this city. There were upwards of 100 reforests tion workers at the meeting. A splendid road has been constructed into the camp and a new highway further back up into the mountains is well under way. Everything at the camp is working smoothly and breakfast was served for the first time Sunday in the new mess building, which is approximately 30 of -- feet Meetings Being Held in Willard Nine Wins From Garland, 10-- 5 All Wheat Growing Areas "of Utah. Willard, champions of the first The wheat plan, under the Agri- cultural Adjustment Act, is definitely getting under way this week, according to Director, William Peterson, manager of the agricultural administration for Utah. During the rest of July and early August, meetings will , be held In practically'all wheat growing communities in the state, Director Peterson said. Every wheat farmer is invited. County agricultural or emer- gency agents, working with temporary campaign committees, will arrange for these meetings, get things started, and handle the educational part of the program. At these preliminary community meetings the plan will be discussed and explained fully, literature will be distributed, and farmers may apply for a contract. Three men will be elected at these same meetings to make up a community committee. One of these three will be a member of the board of directors of the county wheat production control association to the wheat administration. The board of directors of the county association will elect three men to serve as the county allotment committee. This ' committee will check the application-repoblanks, publish the lists in the local newspaper, and complete the contract for the grower to sign. Contracts should be ready to be signed by the latter part of August. Soon after the middle of September, according to Director Peterson, those who have signed contracts with the secretary of agriculture to reduce their next plantings according to the requirements, will be paid the first installment of their cash compensation adjustment payment. rt , ; comes another disillusion hows that we cant always what we see or hear.

A fitting tribute was paid to the pioneers of the county, who were entertained by the County Company of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers in this city. In the morning, all pioneers who wished to go, were taken to Calls Fort to view the monument erected there at the old fort in honor of Anson Call and his associates and to attend the exercises.

The band concert also attracted hundreds of other citizens and the music was appreciated by all present. sixty-thre- ADMINISTRATION U. S. A. C.

That the cost of local administration in putting the national wheat reduction program into effect will not be excessive in most wheat districts is indicated by estimates prepared by the agiicultural adjustment administration, according to Director William Peterson, manager of the administration for Utah. Operating expenses for the county wheat control associations will be carried by the participating farmers themselves, under the announced policy of the wheat plan, and some growers have expressed fear that these costs might prove to be prohibitive.

At the upper center is a bronze plaque at the top of which is the official marker of the Utah Pioneer Trails and Landmarks association. The wording inscribed on the plaque reads as follows; No. 22. Erected July 24, 1933, Calls Fort. This monument marks the S. E. comer of a fort built by Anson Call and associates in 1S55, under the direction of President Brigham Young, as protection against Indians. The fort was the most northerly outpost in Utah. It was 120 feet square, with walls eight feet' high and three feet thick, built of rock, part of which is in the monument. The circular stones were taken from one of the first burr flour mills built in northern Utah in 1852, owned by Omer and Homer Call. The three Call brothers were early pioneers and builders of northern Utah. Utah Pioneer Trails and Landmarks association, and members and friends of the Call family. Below this plaque, in the center, is another bronze plaque, which is a d portrait of Anson Call, moulded by Miss Marie Call, teacher of art in the Juab high school.

Some portions of the state lately received helpful rains and irrigation water seems sufficient. Mr. Alters review follows: Temperatures were much above normal.

Livestock is in fair to The dry land grain good condition. harvest has begun, and irrigated grain is maturing rapidly. The drouth has continued at Logan, though water is holding up well; 0.08 inch rain fell. Dry land grain is being harvested at Bear River City; ranges are drying and cattle are not gaining. The grain harvest is well under way at Tooele. Irrigated crops are doing well at Midvale; the pea harvest is well along; 0.02 inch precipitation occurred. The canning pea harvest has been completed at Spanish Fork, but due to the dearth of spring rains and the recent hot weather the crop was light; beets are developing slowly because of the hot, dry weather. Wheat is ripening at Lavan; a trace of rain fell. The national forest rahges are excellent at Mantl and livestock are thriving; the lower ranges need rain as only 0.06 inch was reported. Rain amounting to 0.40 inch on three days at Richfield interfered with haying; spring grain is heading nicely; sugar beets wilted during the hot days, but cloudy skie3 and rain improved their condition. The first hay crop is being cut at Panguitch; range grasses are making excellent growth, as the weeks rain amounted to 0.77 inch. Ranges are very dry at Deseret and rain is much needed; fall wheat is ripening. A good rain at Cedar City, amounting to 0.44 inch, has helped the ranges appreciably. Duchesne ranges need rain; irrigation water is ample. Water is sufficient for gardens at Vernal. Ranges have improved well at Price, though rain amounted to only 0.04 inch. Ranges are improving at Kanab, with 1.14 inches of rain reported. y 1 ' ' f 4 v? OF MONUMENT Impressive Ceremonies Conducted at Calls Fort Monday. Very fitting and impressive ceremonies were conducted at Calls Fort' Monday morning, July 24th, when upwards of 2,000 persons gathered to attend the unveiling and dedicatory exercises of a beautiful monument, ust completed, and which marks the old fort built there in 1855 by Anson Call, Utah pioneer and early colonizer, and his associates. The dedicatory exercises, which opened at 9 a. m. were held in County Commissioner George Mays shady, grove on the east side of the highway, about 200 rods north of, where the monument stands. An old fashioned bowery, equipped with loud speakers, served as the speakers stand, and under the trees benches were provided to seat the throng. Among those seated on the stand were Mfs..
