The next step is the calling of special conventions in all the states to vote on the proposal. Whether these conventions can be providetl by congress, or must be called by state legislatures, is a. debated question, but states are not waiting. Some 15 already have passed bills calling the conventions or have such bills pendIng. Grang er Girl Is New Cham pion In Dairy Project As the result of outstanding work in dairy projects for the last four years, Florence A . Woodbury of. Granger has been selected national champion 4-H Holstein girl by the Holstein-Fri esian A s s o c i at i o n of America. Miss Woodbury, a student at Cyprus high school, has exhibited m8Jly animals and has taken part in many public demonstrati ons. In 1932, she was awarded a gold medal by the Utah State Farm Bureau Federation for being the out~ standing dairy calf club leader in Utah. For two consecutive years she was selected state champion 4--H Holstein girl. Miss Woodbury has attended the 4-H club leaders' training school at the Utah State Agricultura l college, and has been a member of the Boosterettes club, the Milk Way club, and in the Happy Milk Maid's club. She plans to attend the U. S. A. C. atter beoing graduated from high school. Funeral Rites Held For A. F. Robertson Three-fourt hs of the states must ratify the amendment within seven years if national prohibition Ia to go. Thus, 13 states can block repeal, either by voting "no" or by not voting at all. Drys base some of their hope on the latte;r possibility, although there is the chance for wets to bring about quick action, as 41 state legislatures either are meeting now or will this Spl'ing. Meanwhile, the question of whether congress can provide for the conventions may be settled. Constitution al authorities have taken both sides and congress, apparently believing that the convention method would be the quickest, may learn that the more direct method would have been to submit the amendment straight to legislature, since all but seven are meeting before summer. Wyoming was the first to get lined up for action, as its legislature bas adopted a bill calling for a convention solely to vote on the proposed e.mendment. Utah legislative machinery may be set in motion soon to call a state convention and provide for the election of delegates. Representat ive Darrell T. Lane of Salt Lake proposed to introduce a blll for Such. Delegates would be elected in each county and in them would be vested the power to reject or accept on the part of the state, the proposed amendment. Funeral services for Andrew F. Robertson, 59, of 76 Fifth avenue, Midvale, were held last Friday In the Midvale Second ward chapel.

Auto Taxes May Go On Propert y Levy H.l Loans For Flocks Await Experienced Poul try Grower Experienced poultry producers of Utah who have found lack of cash preventing them from building up their flocks have been informed by the Regional Agricultura l Credit Corpora~ t!on of Salt Lake that 1933 loans for purchasing baby chicks may be had. The announceme nt is made by S. Grover Rich, manager of the corporation, who said that applications for loans will be received at the Salt Lake office from producers in Utah and parts of Idaho and Nevada. "Loans will be considered on a basis of 75 per cent of the cost of the chicks to the applicants who have their equipment on band and a satisfactory place in which to handle the chicks purchased," Mr. Rich said. "It is required also that applicants have on hand sufficient feed or, in lieu thereof, a sufficient amount of cash to buy the feed to carry the poultry to a producing age. Other poultry or livestock may be offered as security for the purpose of providing fwids to purchase feed. "The loans will be restricted to experienced poultrymen, who have been engaged in the business for at least three years, and the amount of the loan approved will be based on the average amount of poultry handled by the applicant during that period.
