United War Fund Drive Approaches 'The Cinal campaign for 1·aising funds for the home Iront and foreign relief agencies of theo National War Fund will be condueted in Utah by the UnHed \Var - Fund of Utah from Oct 1 to 31, it js announced by Mayor Earl J Gla'de of Salt Lake City, president of the state drh·e. Utah's goal w-ill be $405,000.00. This sum. with that of the other states, will make a national fund of $115,000,000., to be used either to conduct the affairs o! the various agencies to the end of 1946, or to liquidatation as the work of these groups is closed, according to an announcement by Winthrop W Aldrich, president of the National ·war Fund. Continuing need for the vitally important agencies is stressed by all who are in intimate contact with requirements throughout the world, both among the . mllitary forces at home and in zones of occupation, and among peoples of the devastated 1·egions over which war raged for so many years. "Victory over the enemies' armed forces has been achieved, but the war against hunger and want is not yet won," declared ChaU·man Glade. "It is with full conrfidence that the appeal to the generous peop1e of Utah will be ansewered this ran as in past appeals, and that the workers, o! the United War Fund will take the field ln this final effort on October 1." Organization of the county, in every director and community, has been completed 1 said Herbert M Schiller, executive director of the United War Fund of Utah, who has visited all counties dur·ing the past few weeks.

Local Ration Board To Close Sepl. 28 Sept.. 28 has been designated as the day when the Midvale war price and ration board will close its office. as a part of the OPO plan to drop 14,000 of its 30.000 pc!id local board clet'kS. Board offices will be maintained in Salt Lake City to accomodate residents of this county. The volunteer price control and information panels of the local board have been asked to continue, according to EJmo Christianson, local board chairman. In commenting on tile reduction of OPA's field staff, H Grant Ivins, district director of Utah, said, "Retail price control is the responsibility of local boards. Vrle do not want to continue vigorous control of prices at retail one day longer than is necessary, but as long as it is necessary. a good job must be done. It cannot be done without the continued support of the volunteers who worked so effectively on price control during the war period." There is a great demand for many commodities which are still scarce, and without careful control. prices will surely go up. he pointed out, addjng that in the coming months al1 must see that prices of food. rent. and clothing are held in line, since these itrhes most readily affect the cost of living.

Sept 20. Assistance in bringing this farm into high production was furnished by Soil Conservation service technicians through the East Salt Lake county soil conservation district. \Vhen \1r Rasmussen bought the farm. which is ont- mile west of But1t•n.-ille, irrigation water in two of the fields mo lo eve(}· dirt.>ction toward the center, where it stood until it drowned out all \'l'getation c~cept worthless grass and cockleburr. The grade was so steep on two other fields that the water would rnch through rapidly, oa..rrying with. it much of the valuable topsoil t.hat had to be rct".rl.oed if a crop of any worth was to bC' produced. In the fall of 1943, Mr 1\asmussen started leveling his land. A heavy snow storm forced him to stop until the following spring, when he finished leveling on seven fields of about 24 acres. After the leveling was completed, soil conse..rvation service engineers laid out an irrigation system that turned out to be ,so. successful that Mr Rasmus~en started leveling oper.1tions on the rest of his farm in the fall of 1944. Last spri.ng he had the job completed, and decided to install a pipe system to faciliteate irrigation. He used 16inch pipe and placed outlets at intervals t11at w-ere close enough together to serve the head ditches and laterals effectively. Next be planted a seven-acre orchard-laid out in such n manner that he can run water sloYily through the furrows without fear of having part of h.is farm washed away each time he irrigates. Last year. one of the larger fie}d.s. that had been fertilized with bamyi.U'd. manure was planted to alfalfa. The yield on this field is expected to be around five tons an acre this. year. The improvements made on the farm include tbe consteruction of 15 turnout structures. six headgates,. a mile of neet wire fence. and the l~::veling of 27 acres of land. Mayor Rasmussen has doubled the value of 'lann which he bought in 1942 through leveling operations and improvement of the irrigation system. The farm was purchased for $15,000, and Mr Rasml1ssen was recently offered $30,000 for it.
