Elder Owen Rasmus-se- n GARLAND GRAIN Writes Leader GROWERS VOTE Interesting Letter SELL PROPERTY Mr. James Walton, Dear Editor: This may be a surprise to hear from a missionary, but awhile back I was reading over the Bear River Valley Leader and thinking of all the happy hours it has brought to me while here in the mission field. Each week 1 have looked forward to the coming of the paper, because it makes a person feel like he is home among friends and neighbors, when we can read the news from home town and state. I want to take this opportunity of expressing my thanks and appreciation unto you for sending the paper, for it is one thing that helps to keep up the spirit of one's mission. I can truthfully say that I have enjoyed every weekly edition that has been sent to me. For the past thirteen months I have been laboring in the state of Virginia which is in the East Central States Mission. I have certainly enjoyed every day of my missionary work, because it makes a person appreciate more fully his home state and the way church work is carried on there. One lining this work does for a person, it makes you have a greater love for your parents and family. Second, we learn to love our fellowmen and the study of the gospel is worth more than the money spent. Third, we gain a strong testimony that would be difficult to gain any other way. We also get out in the world and learn the ways of human nature, and makes us appreciate our home state and people. The state of Virginia has been very interesting to travel in. During the summer months we get out among the country people and it is surprising the primitive way in which they do their farming. They still use the oxen for the farm power to do the plowing and other work. But the oddest to me was to see an old fellow with a team of oxen on the highway, peddling fruit and other farm products. Also had the experience of cutting grain with the scythe and cradle for a half day and about all I got out of it was three big water blisters on my hands. This made me appreciate the inventions of McCormick. But then it made me realize more fully the way in which the "Pioneers of Utah" had to carry on their work. Of course these primitive methods are not carried on all over the state of Virginia, We certainly find most of the peo ple in Virginia very hospitable, espec ially among the country folks. The missionary work is not nearly so hard, due to the fact that we have a goodly number of saints in the state and just four elders at present, so most of our time is spent in visiting the members. Because a lot of missionary work is being done through the members, the people of the world look upon our re ligion more by the way we live it, so it must be preached by precept and , example. So we must visit the saints and en courage them on in their work and having meetings. Although our ranks are few here we are having very good success in the work, and a vtry good number have accepted our gospel and entered into the fold of Jesus Christ. I indeed hope that more of the young folks will take advantage of the opportunity of going on a mission. A person will never regret the time and money Bpent in the service of God and fellowmen. May I again thank you for sending the paper and God's blessings be with you. Growers Meet At a stock holder's meeting held. Saturday afternoon in Garland, of the Box Elder County Warehouse Corp. it was decided by an overwhelming majority of the stockholders to sell the property owned by the corporation to the National Grain Growers Inc. It was also decided by the stock holders to employ certified public accountants to audit the books of the corporation and A. N. Grover, Horace L. Richards and Joseph Murray were named to em' ploy the accountants. A. N. Grover made a comparison of the cost of storage to the grower between the Box Elder County Warehouse and the Farmers National, at Malad. According to reports the cost of storage at the Garland plant was. 3.9 cents against 1.4 cents at the Malad association. v.The president and the secretary at the Garland warehouse both received monthly salaries, the secretary's salary was $75.00 and expenses, according to reports at the meeting, while in the National at Malad the president received no salary and the secretary but $10.00 per month. The reported price at the meeting" paid for the warehouses and organization was $37,500.
