Those who own or operate orchards or packing sheds are busy with the peach and pear crop and each year Paysons fruit industry seems to grow and flourish more. Our fruit is sent to many parts of the nation and is known for its delicious flavor and fine quality. Farmers are knee deep in the harvest of tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, melons and other truck garden produce. Most of them now have their grain crops safely combined and stored for another season, and are looking forward to the grapes, apples, carrots, grain corn, sugar beets and third crop hay, potatoes etc. We are so blessed that we can have the necessary temperatures, moisture, and good soil necessary to raise these fruits, vegetables and grains in such a fine variety and in such abundance. In many sections of the country people must rely upon all fruits and vegetables being trucked or flown in so we should surely appreciate the many fine things this area has to offer us. Most of us hate to see the first frost come to the valley. It usually means an end to the rainbow array of fall flowers and many of the fruits and vegetables and for some reason never entirely understood it usually is followed by lovely Indian Summer weather for weeks after the damage is done. Those who depend upon the farming and orchards for their livlihood are hoping that the weather will cooperate with them so that this harvest can be completed before cold, rainy, snowy weather makes its appearance. Many who are not in these occupations do not realize the hardships bad weather can impose upon them both We can all physically and financially. help boost their incomes by using locally Utah set for Wednesday October? main Vve City, Inlomesomiiiig acHiviiiies Orchard hills fcitf'l 84651 Payson, Utah Lake American Legion Auxiliary Delegates to Girls State held last summer at Cedar City gave a report to the American Legion Auxiliary in Payson when the first meeting of the new season was held last Monday at the American Legion Hall.
