Alvin Carpenter, extension ex-tension economist for the Utah State Agricultural College. Mr. Carpenter points out that a return must now be filed by every married person living with husband or wife, if the gross income in-come is $1200 or more, and by every single person if the gross income is $500 or more. Gross income includes all receipts re-ceipts from farm and non-farm sources and also, includes the value of merchandise received in exchange for farm products, explains ex-plains the economist. Farmers who have not kept complete records of income and expenses durine 1943 will tipph to work up the best statement possime irom their receipts from sales and such items as rhppir stubs, cancelled checks, bills, statements ana tne like.

Fork Picture Theatre Entirely Destroyed By Fire Friday Morning One of the most disastrous fires to strike American Fork in over twenty-five years practically practical-ly destroyed the City's only theatre early Friday morning. The entire theatre building was gutted from the rear stage wallJ to the balcony and everything but the projection room and seats was totally destroyed. Loss exceeds $30,000, Fire Chief Russell Thompson declared after the six hour battle with the flames. The loss is only partially part-ially covered by insurance, it is reported as less than $20,000 coverage was had. The. blaze was discovered by night officer Preston Nash shortly before 6 a. m. The alarm was instantly turned in and the American Fork department responded re-sponded and later Lehi and Pleasant Grove fire equipment was called to the scene. It was after noon before the combined fire fighting forces had completely com-pletely extinguished the blaze. The extreme cold, temperatures being near the zero point, and a confined blaze between two false ceilings, made the battle extremely hard and tedious. However, the valiant efforts of the fire fighters held the spreading spread-ing flames away from the most valuable equipment of the theatre, thea-tre, the projection room, and confined the roaring flames to the north three-fourths of the theatre roof. No adjoining prop erty was even searched. The blaze started in the furnace furn-ace room under the stage and had entirely enveloped this part of the theatre befeve its- discovery. dis-covery. It burst thru the rear roof at the back of the theatre and then ate its way toward the front of the building. At short intervals sections of the roof collapsed and crashed to the floor of the theatre proper until un-til the entire ceiling and roof had been burned away. The entire roof and interior of the theatre, except the projection projec-tion room and front lobby, is completely gutted and the entire theatre will have to be rebuilt to restore it to use again. Insurance adjusters had arrived arriv-ed on the. job early this week and work of cleaning up the theatre and salvaging seats and other minor equipment had gotten got-ten under way Monday. This work should be completed today. . John H. Miller, owner and op erator of the property, has sent requests to Washington, D. C, for authority to reconstruct this theatre and get it into operation so that American Fork can again enjoy its theatre entertainment as quickly as possible. It is too early yet to know how soon or how long it will take to rebuild the theatre or construct another theatre fof this community after the priori ties are granted.

Bulletin Outlines Procedure In Control of Pests Ways and means of getting the best results in production of fruits are analyzed and listed in "Fruit Pest Control Program," a new bulletin recently released by the Utah extension service, and available at the office, of C. D, Ashton, assistant agent, Utah County. The bulletin was prepared by the extension seryice under the supervision of Dr. Arvil L. Stark, extension horticulturist. Agent Ashton states that the publication lists six general methods of gaining the best re sults in pest control. First of all, the horticulturist advocates a proper knowledge of the pests to be controlled. He then advises application of sprays or dusts at the proper time, not earlier and not later. Then, use the exact mixtures suggested, and in the exact amounts. Apply sprays or dusts thoroughly, over the plant com pletely inside, top, outside and underside of leaves and fruit. Spray tops heavily to insure good coverage. Inspect plant immediately immed-iately after application to make sure all parts are covered. To complete the work of attaining at-taining best results, Dr. Stark mentions the importance of keeping the ruit covered to kill the early broods. One over-wintering codling moth is capable of infesting 27,676 apples, or 138 bushels, through its progeny. Additionally, it is wise to prune trees in such a manner that the spray can hit all parts. - Specifically, the publication gives general directions for the different kinds of fruit grown in Utah, according to Agent Ashton. Scales for control of peach, apricot, apri-cot, plum and prune pests are outlined, with other information on apple and pear pests, cherry pests, and small fruit pests. Other Oth-er topics describe the use of bait traps to, time ..codline moth sprays, tree branding for control con-trol of the same moths, control of the fruit tree disease known as chorosis, the "little leaf" disease, special cautions, and tables for the approximate amount of spray necessary per tree in leaf.

Webb JEWELER k OPTOMETRIST Main Streft Lehi, Utah Utah seed growers have answered the call for increased seed production In 1943, according accord-ing to Victor R. Rasmussen, in charge of Seed Certification for the Utah State Department of Agriculture. In cooperation with the Utah Crop Improvement Association, As-sociation, the State Department of Agriculture has supervised the production of considerable quantities of crop seeds during the past season. Seeds of improved varieties and of superior quality have been produced under a system of inspection and certification. Better Bet-ter than 62,000 bushels of certified certi-fied seed potatoes have been raised by cooperating growers; the Bliss Triumph and Russet varities predominating. A new class of seed potatoes known as "war approved" has been produced pro-duced this year for the first time. Over 40,000 bushels of this quality of seed will be available avail-able for Utah farmers to use in the 1944 food production program. pro-gram. Tills new class of seed potatoes has been set up to supply sup-ply potato growers with seed fairly free from disease and of better quality for potato production produc-tion than in sort outs from table stock. Production of certified alfalfa seed will be slightly larger than in 1942. Around 7,312 bushels of various improved alfalfa varieties varie-ties has been raised by Utah growers in 1943. "Ranger," a new variety of alfalfa resistant to bacterial wilt, is being increased in Utah at a rapid rate starting in 1941 with Just a few grams of seed, we now have over 150 acres of this new variety planted for seed production. The use of "Ranger" in the coming years will save Utah farmers many thousands of dollars each year. It will increase hay production considerably and will "stay in" more years without dying out than other alfalfa varieties. A total of 1,000 bushels of Cumberland and Midland red clover have been threshed in Utah this season. These two new improved disease resistant red clover varieties show considerable consid-erable promise as producers of hay and. seed in all areas of the state. Remarkably high hay yields per cutting have already been received. Many growers report an average of better than four tons per acre in a single cutting, with seed yields running better than 400 pounds per acre. There is a big demand for all the seed we can produce in the red clover belt of the nation. A total of 18,000 bushels of wheat, oats, and barley has been produced by Crop Improvement grower members this past summer. sum-mer. The emphasis on cereal seed production in recent years has been on varieties that are disease resistant, stiff strawed, and produce higher yields of better quality grain. Utah has been producing a limited amount of hybrid seed corn of a variety suited to our conditions. Several hundred bushels of U. S. 52 Is now available avail-able for use in this state next spring. This variety has constantly con-stantly produced higher yields of corn silage per acre in most areas of the state. The Utah strain of Sweet Spanish onions is recognized as outstanding in all areas of the nation where this variety is commonly com-monly grown. Seed growers In Utah have developed White and Yellow Sweet Spanish onion strains that are in demand throughout the onion growing sections of the west. As a result of this, production has more than trebled the past year. Utah Certified onion seed will be used to increase the supply of seed available for domestic and lend-lease lend-lease purposes. Utah seed growers are already planning towards a still greater production of all kinds of crop seeds during the coming year. They realize that the key to food production lies in sufficient supplies sup-plies of the very best quality of seeds. High Attitude Effects Among early experiments on the physiological and psychological effects ef-fects of high altitude, ascent produced reactions typical of anoxia from its first to its ultimate stags, as confirmed by subsequent expert ences of scientists in the Alps, Andes and Himalayas, of subjects tested In low pressure chambers. Among them were loss of Judgment, of memory, cf mental and emotional control, of visual acuity. |
