I he elimination of the phrase was made possible through the generous gift from twelve of the Tremonton merchants, headed by Fred C. Gephart, who claims that altogether too often he did not heed the instruction, or at least forgot it, and found himself without eating utensils and then too the botn er of toteing them in his pockets for the remainder of the evening. The gift was a beautiful set of sil ver ware of the latest design, consisting of 162 knives, 162 forks, 132 tea spoons, and 48 dessert spoons, making a total of 504 pieces in all. The gift was presented to the Relief Society presidency by Mr. Gephart, h8 being the spokesman for the donors. Mr. Gephart explained that many more merchants would have contributed but were not asked, as he said they took the first dozen that were called upon. In the box with the silverware, the fo)1 owing sentiment, penned by Mr. jJ- ' J.hart, was enclosed: of the steadying and "5 In appreciation Uplifting influence of your church activities in our community, so much needed in these days of great anxiety, as well as your efforts to meet the needs of those in distress, we, the undersigned take this occasion to present to the Relief Society of the L.

This train is now in process of preparation, and should interest everyone who wishes to promote agriculture. The train will consist of one livestock car, one car of state farm bureau exhibits, one car of dairy products, one home and community car, one sugar beet car and one poultry car. The train will be in charge of the Salt Lake and Utah Railway, Bamberger Electric Railway and the o Central Railway companUtah-Idah- ies. Although it is strictly an educational train sponsored by these railways, the extension service of the Utah State Agricultural College is cooperating in making this tour a success. Two stops will be made in Box Elder county. These will no doubt, be made on Friday, June 23. Watch furth announcements in the press for more detailed information. U Robert H. Stewart, Co. Agri. Agent. Grasshopper Menace Threatens Weber Co. Press reports from Ogden carry the news of a grasshopper wave that is denuding the vines of the orchards and f ieldg lying north of Ogden and threaten to completely destroy this year's crops unless a means is devised to stop their onward march. While the grasshoppers are not appearing in any alarming numbers in this' vicinity, they are appearing in ever increasing numbers each day. .It will be well for the farmers of the valley to start a drive on them before they reach such proportions that a large amount of damage would be done before they could be eliminated. This word of warning should be sufficient to make every farmer alert to a danger that is not here yet ,but may be if means of combat are not invoke'!

BEET GROWERS OFFICIALS TALK HANSEN DIESJ AT CLUB MEETING UTAH FARMERS Funeral Services Are Explain Reasons for De GIVEN VALUABLE sire to Open Bank Held Monday In Tremonton INFORMATION Afternoon Growth " Orson A, Christensen, agricultural o Sugar superintendent of company, gives the following valuable information to sugar beet growers: The dry weather of the past 20 days has put beet growers to studying the need of irrigation of the beet crop. Past experience has proved that small sugar beets are very sensative to drought and can easily be permanently uamaged by it. From this knowledge also the agricultural department of the sugar company is urging their contracted grow ers not to delay needed irrigation. In Utah-Idah- distrirt, with verv en. results, couraging It is far better to put off thinning small dry beets and irrigate with a shallow furrow or to flood them and immediately when dry enough cultivate thoroughly and then finish thinning or hoeing. A light irrigation now and the moisture conserved by the cultivation will take the place of another irrigation anyway and no effort is extra work. Right now is the time to get ahead with irrigation of all crops as the canal department is urging so to avoid the usual peak demand which will occur unless the irrigation load is distributed. Hay and grain and dry beets irrigated at once will make it possible to irrigate normally and well the 14000 disacres plus in the Garland-Brighatrict this year. The beet plant is naturally a garden vegetable and we may ask to impress the point, who has not irrigated his well kept garden several times to get the best growth ? But for field practice it is urged that an early and light irrigation with more cultivation is primary. Especially where beets and wild oats growth is the irrigation important. Ample water is now in the canals, the largest streams for years is now being turned into the canals, about 800 cubic feet per second. It is questionable how long the condition will continue. As for the immense job of thinning over 14000 acres of beets and many backaches incident thereto, it is about finished. Less than 10 of the acreage is not thinned. This is of the later planted and some will have to be irrigated first or be damaged beyond recovery. The company invites its friends and patrons to visit the baby beef feeding demonstration at the Garland yards where 100 calves and yearlings in four pens of 25 head each, are being fed different rations of sugar beet byproducts, which are wet pulp, prepared pelletts which are a combination of dry beet pulp and molasses, molasses fill, hay and combinations of animal minerals. lv and sandv m Bothwell Ward Holds Huge Scout Celebration More than 300 members of the Both-we- ll ward and citizens of the valley turned out enmass to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their organization with a bonfire and wiener roast on the west hills. Bishop D. M. Marble was master of ceremonies. The program started with the arrival of the Indians and their dance around their campfire, under the direction of John Hawkins, vanguard leader. After prayer by the Indian chief, the fires were lighted. On the hillside the boys had formed the word "Scouts" with torches, and when light ed was very effective.

Following Mr. Gephart's reporf, which detailed their visit to the state banking department and state comptroller of currency and the information gathered at these points with respect to banks and banking laws, govern ing both state and national banks, a, unanimous vote by all present extended an invitation for the Davis County bank to come to Tremonton. Mr. Gephart explained that in the bill and passing of the failure to modify some of the provisions capital of $500,00 and a, population of 25,000 in it had auto matically eliminated the First National bank of Brigham from this field. He then explained that they had gone into the condition of the Davis County bank and were informed that it was among the strongest institutions in the state and on that day was considered - 150 liquid. Everywhere that they inquired, the bank and its officials received the highest commendation and it was considered an institution that could well care for the needs of the Bear River Valley. The club, following the report, enthusiastically declared itself percent in favor of extending a hearty invitation to the Davis County-banto come to Tremonton, assuring it of their loyal and undivided support. A resolution was also passed expressing the appreciation to the officials of the First National bank for the interest shown in the proposition.

When Mr. Clark ,of the Davis County bank, was informed of the action of the club, he expressed his appreciation for the same and said that he would put it before the board of directors and recommend to them that they come into this field and while he would not say definidely that they would come until after a committee meeting, he said that it was reasonably assured that they would act favorably upon his recommendation. one-hundr- ed , 0, Field Rogers Liberty Theatre THIRTY-NIN- E y, Harvest Time for First Cutting Alfalfa Here A few days ago Frank Liebarman, of the U. S. Bureau of Entomoligy, office, Salt Lake City, met with County Agent Robert H. Stewart, and together they visited many alfalfa fields in Box Elder County to determine the attack being made by the alfalfa weevil. In a few fields in the county the weevil is doing a slight amount of damage. Cutting alfalfa at the proper time ia advised as being one of the best methods of alfalfa weevil control. When h of the bloom in noticeonly able in the field is the advisable time to cut. The experiment stations state that at this stage the maximum production of hay is insured. At this season the sprouts of the next cutting are beginning to show at the root of the plants. It is .also suggested that the alfalfa hay at this stage has more nutriment than if cut earlier or later. It is urged that those who have alfalfa fields watch them carefully, and produce hay that is very valuable in the feeding ration of the livestock. one-tent- R. S.
