Class In Farm Mechanics To Start Monday The entire community was shocked and grieved Thursday morning as news of the death of Nancy Rogers spread rapidly through the valley. The eight year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilford Rogers was on her way to school and with her friend, started to cross Main Street between Penney's Store and Safeways. The girls ran in front of a car driven by Mrs. Reed Giles who saw them and was able to stop her car. The children then went around back of her machine and ran out, directly in front of the pick up driven by Rudolph Christensen, who was driving east along Main Street. Mr. Christensen was able to stop his car in only a few feet, but could not avoid striking the Rogers girL who was knocked to the pavement and run over by both wheels of the machine. A call for the ambulance was quickly answered, and she was taken to the Valley hospital, where it was found that she had suffered a crushed skull, punctured lung and other injuries. She died in a very few minutes after arriving at the hospital. According to investigating officers, the accident was unavoidable. Nancy was a brilliant child and had only the night before entertained the members of the Lions Club with two of her delightful readings. She and her parents have made a host of friends here since they came to live in Tre monton two and a half years ago. The Rogers have the sympathy of their friends all over the valley in the loss of their daughter. Nancy Pauline was born in Logan, January 23, 1935. Besides her parents, she is survived by her baby sister, Mary Lynette, and four grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Rogers and Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Stevens, all of Ogden. Funeral services are being arranged for Monday at 2 p. m.( to be held in the First Ward Chapel. The Bear River high school Agriculture Department is beginning its classes in Farm Mechanics, December 6, 1943, at the high school shop. It is hoped that everyone who is interested in repairing their farm equipment or in construction of new equipment will start on this date. , "We feel that the work done last year was very helpful and educational," said Halvor Skinner, instructor, "and we hope for a bigger and better program for this year." There have been a number of the farmers call in already with ideas they wish to carry out this winter to help them in their work next summer. Many wish to build manure loaders, grain loaders, beet and hay loaders. Others express their desire to make ditchers, repair the rake, plow, spreader, harnesses, etc. It is planned if possibJe to organize the work this year into communities to expidite travel and the use of their own shops. Everyone who is interested In this program should meet, Monday night, December 6, at 8 o'clock in the Ag room. Arva-Morriso- Lions Club Hears Gushnell Surgeon Captain Tanzar, plastic surgeon at Bushnell hospital, was the guest speaker at the Lions club Wed- nesday evening, by arrangement the Merchants' Committee headed by Mervin Holt. Captain Tanzar gave an interesting talk on the treatment of wounds in connection with his work at the hospital. Nancy Rogers pleased the club n with two readings. . of well-give- Conservation Soil Survey Begins On vation District, is progressing satisfactorily, reports Moroni March-an- t, Soil Conservation Survey party chief, in charge of the survey. Field work has been completed on 17,500 acres during the past two months, the survey official said. He further stated that preliminary studies have indicated one of the most important and pressing problems facing the farmers in this vicinity, is a steadily declining fertility ratio. Most of the soils in lower Bear River Valley are low in available phosphate and also generally low in nitrogen. The best single remedy of overcoming this deficiency is the application of all available barnyard manure which returns to the soil limited amounts of both phosphate and nitrogen as well as organic matter. The organic content of these soils are considered equal to the best in the state. However, there are some indications of this being depleted by a lack of crop rotation. There is also a place for an occasional green manure crop to supply organic matter, March-an- t said. Commercial fertilizers are effective, but should be regarded as supplements to barnyard manures, reported the soil surveyor. Not all soils respond when phosphate is applied, even though it is known to be low in available phosphates. In soils high in calcium (lime) and other bases, as the phosphate becomes available for plant growth, there is sometimes a chemical reaction in which the lime combines with the phosphate, rendering it to the plant. He also suggested before investing large sums of money in commercial fertilizers, each farmer should try a few test rows and observe results for a year. Some farmers have asked about adding lime to soils in this vicinity. Mr. Marchant said this is quite unnecessary. These soil3 all contain adequate supplies of lime and in some cases it is in excess. On any area in question the farmer can get an ounce of dilute hydrochloric acid (HCL) from any drug store and put a few drops of this acid on the soil. If it bubbles and boils, there is plenty of lime present. Generally speaking, it is a waste of time, labor and money to apply lime to these Northern Utah soils, the official said. le RECENT BRIDE HONORED The home of Ray Capener was the scene of a miscellaneous shower one evening this week, when friends of Mrs. Burl the former Miss Amanda Ward, were Invited there in her honor. A pleasant evening was enjoyed together and many gifts presented to the guest of honor.

Arnold Rich asserted that registrants deferred for being necessary men in agricultural occupations may be continued in a deferred classification if they fulfill certain conditions. One of the conditions being that if the agricultural work does not require full time employment during the winter months they become engaged during the off season in essential work in some occupation in war production or in support of the war effort. In order that agricultural and other workers in the Tremonton and Garland area may have an opportunity of investigating full time or winter employment, the United States Employment Service office in Brigham City is going to have a representative at the' Farm Security Administration office in Tremonton, Phone 97, every Monday morning between the hours of 9 a. ra. and 12 noon. Anyone interested in obtaining full or part time work is urged to contact that office on the hours designated. 4, Douglas Richins of Grouse Creek came in to spend Thanksgiving with his parents, Mr. and Mrs, W. I. Richins in Tremonton. Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Johnson spent Tuesday in Salt Lake City. Easing Of Killing Ban Does Not Make Point-Fre- e Ration points for all rationed meats, including pork, must be collected by farmers, whether sold or given to friends, neighbors, relatives, retailers or anyone else, F. M. Christensen, chairman of the local war price and rationing board said today. "The War Food Administration recently lifted its restriction requiring that a farmer secure a permit to slaughter hogs intended for sale," the chairman said. "Thi3 did not mean that pork had been list of placed on the point-fre- e foods." In order to stimulate the consumption of pork, OPA recently reduced the point value two points per pound and the War Food Administration temporarily lifted the slaughter restriction on pork. The allowance of two meat-fat- s points per pound for every pound of salvage fats turned into retailers beginning December 13 should also increase somewhat the purchase of meat. A farmer may find out what point values to charge by consulting the current table of consumer point values of meats and subtracting two points from the amount listed by OPA in order to allow for the recent reduction affecting all pork items. The only exception is for carcass or side pork cuts, which were lowered but one and a half points. Ration points collected by farmers for the sale of meats and fats should be mailed to the local war price and rationing board, the chairman said, together with a report showing the sales of rationed meats - fats during the month. Citizens are urged to observe scrupulously the rules for meat Otherwise, large amounts of food will travel illegitimate channels and build up a huge black market, depriving and the armed forces, legitimate consumers and retailers of needed supplies. two-poi- nt home-slaughter- lend-leas- e, 4 ,. RETURNS FROM HAWAII - Von H. Holt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl J. Holt of Fielding, returned home November 24th from Hawaii to spend a four week vacation. He has been employed as a design engineer in the Navy rd nt Pearl Harbor. In a talk at Sa'rrament meeting, he told about his Job, about the natives and the food of Hawaii. He reported that the boys he had seen from this valley were all in good health. He has been spending his time visiting with Ma friends and relatives. His plans are uncertain, but he hopes to stay In San Francisco and have his wife and baby Join him there. Box Elder county farmers who have paid their Federal Land Bank loans but who have not received full credit for their stock in the Grouse Creek, Plymouth and Garland National Farm Loan Association would receive the full par value of their shares under a plan that is being offered by the Federal Land Bank of Berkeley to all national farm loan associations in Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah. A meeting to discuss this proposition was held at Logan last Wednesday. Details were explained by Willard D. Ellis, land bank president, and Walter C. Dean, vice president. Directors Don R. Lamb, A. W. Bishop, E. J. Holmgren, Melvin R, Udy, Joseph E. Deakin, Radcliffe Henrie, A, R. Capener, M. O. Christensen, C. C. Toyn, Rosa Miller, Karl Welling, Charles Kunzler, Elmer Kimber, R. E. Warburton, George Blanthorn, and Secretary-TreasurHarry Drew of the Tremonton, Garland, Grouse Creek Plymouth Consolidated National Farm Loan Association attended. The plan, according to Secretary-Harry Drew stipulates that the Federal Land Bank will provide funds to pay retired stock claims of former borrowers who did not receive the par value proceeds of their stock when they paid their loans. Provisions will be made to so safeguard the financial condition of all associations that the hazard of stock impairment in the future will be greatly reduced. Consolidation of national farm loan associations and enlargement of associations' territories, where such action will effect savings in operation, conserve man power, and improve service to members, is also contemplated in the new reorganization plan. Experience during depression years proved that some "associations had too narrow a base of loan risk and, as a consequence, were unable to pay stock proceeds when members paid their loans. Now the Federal Land Bank offers a plan which will strengthen the whole farm loan system. er Treasurer Secretary - Treasurer Harry Drew warned that some persons who hold claims for unredeemed association stock may receive offers of purchase at less than par value. All such holders are hereby advisad that the national farm loan association which issued the original stock will be in a position to pay the claim at par value if and when the reorganization plan becomes effective. Scholarship Won By Bear River Girl A United Press item published in state papers this week gives the information that Beth Holmgren, of Bear River City, who won the trip to Chicago for the Congress, had been "among the few members to be awarded a $200 college scholarship at the convention.
