This is one million less than last year and seven million short of the goal set by the department depart-ment of agriculture. (All present signs point to the fact that Utah County, because of the flooding of some lower lands, will be down in some intensive crops. However, in American Fork and vicinity, celery, tomatoes and small crops, such as berries, are expected to be higher than a year ago, good weather prevailing.) Because of the shortage of feed grains relative to live stock inventories, farmers' plans for com, barley and sor ghums, are particularly disappointing when compared with the goals, the report says. .It goes on: - A limiting factor in the acreage available for spring planting is the large acreage sown to winter wheat last fall, of which little has been abandoned. Although it is still too early to predict cotton acreage, if the trend from crops with high labor requirements continues, the 28 million acre goal may not be met Unless west Texas and Oklahoma receive some rain soon, however, one million acres of winter wheat will be released for cotton planting. The prospective plantings report reveals two things. Farmers are wary of upsetting their long-range Grasslands Programs for the sake of immediate cash returns. Secondly, they are shifting away from crops requiring much labor in favor of less intensive crops. The principal reason for these decisions is profcably the recent easing in farm commodity prices. -Increased market supplies and some weakening in demand resulted in price declines for the first three months of this year. Though prices advanced slightly in April, the mid-April average of all farm prices was 6 percent less than in April 1951. In addition to this uncertain price situation, farmers are concerned about the tight labor situation and the con tmuing increase m production costs.

In paying tribute to the thousands of his fellow citizens, who had laid down their lives for the pre servatlon of the Union, the Great Emancipator was mindful of the debt owed to those who fell in the noble cause. Since that tune, in the con flicts we have waged to preserve our national Integrity, men have been bleeding and dlelng for the same principles of right and justice. The blessings we now enjoy our homes, our religious free dom, our basic rights of free speech, our entire way of life have been purchased and preserved pre-served by those who. have borne the full impact of the enemy's fatal stroke. ' All that we may do to bless and honor the names of these men Is little enough in return for what they have done for us. Money cannot buy service of this kind; but love, devotion, and honorable remembrance, will help to pay our debt of gradl-tude. gradl-tude. Greater Utah Valley Inc.
