Edgecombe, head of the department depart-ment of horticulture at USAC, tell Utah apple growers that the state is capable of producing competitive fruit with the northwest, north-west, and that some of our growers grow-ers are doing it, but that lnany Utah growers are trying to mar ket culls. He said that Utah's growers must evaluate their apples ap-ples against thost produced in other areas, to understand why cur own markets are depressed and nearly 100 cars of apples from the northwest are shipped Y.io Utah annually. The planting of new sport var-!eties var-!eties of delicious apples, the use of cull apples for juice, and the establishment of cold stu,age facilities for the proper marketing market-ing of Utah apples were advised by Dr. Edgecombe as ways to compete with outside fruit. Peach producers in Utah were advised to use the "Ashton Method" of producing quality peaches which will compete successfully suc-cessfully on local and outside markets. Experts pointed out that Utah peaches are high in sugar content and flavor, but that size and color will depend upon proper culture of the trees, including careful fertilizing, pruning, etc. In his annual report, President Presi-dent Gillman stated that the marketing agreements which the society had approved were doing much to improve the marketing mar-keting program of Utah fruit. Under terms of the agreements, boards of growers set standards for marketable fruit and the state department of agriculture enforces those standards. The agreements were re-activated for 1951. Marketing experts pointed out that the average consumer is not interested in the origin of the fruit, but in what is offered for sale. Figures were presented to show that in 1950 top grade Jonathan Jon-athan apples were sold for as low as one dollar per bushel end at the same time sweet apple juice sold for 65 cents per gallon. gal-lon. It was shown that returns from sweet apple juice w'ere from $1.70 to $2.02 per bushel, while that of top grade Jonathans Jona-thans was $1 less the container charge of 40 cents. in connection with tne con vention, announcement was made of local, state and national Contests is flip maVincr nf fhem; Red Cherry institute ' ' "iay Loveless of Orem, state :f the soil.

He declared that American freedom must ultimately stem from the basic virtues which make for the happiness of the individual. He asked for a return re-turn to Christian concepts of life and for support of churches.

Postal revenue for 1950 totaled $14,987.68, an increase of $1,222.17 over the 1949 total of $13,765.51, according to Mr. Broadhead.

Coach Evan Eaugh's club must win over the Forkcrs Friday Fri-day to stay in the race for a tournament berth. The locals lost to BYIIS in the season's opener, but came back to score an impressive win over Pleasant Grove last Friday, 37-85. The win was more decisive than American Fork's victory over the P. G. team the week- before. Coach Baugh believes tnat his club is potentially one of the finest scoring aggregations he has had here, but they are not veteran performers and have suffered from stage fright in the early games,. They showed some of the form of which they are capable in the Pleasant Grove game and local fans are hopeful that they can upset American Fork, defending state chamus. Coach Baugh may me a pair ' ( f newcomers in his starting tin' up against the Forkers. La-Rell La-Rell Goulding, sophomore, has been showing up exceptionally well and may edge out the vet eran Richard Peterson as the starting center. Carl Rowley, one of the defensive stars of the Pleasant Grove game, is expected to start at the guard , post opposite Floyd Farley. Tom office reached an all-tim hi i il: . i 1 t-. , , -. from special request envelopes and second cass mailing privil eges. Total revenue from stamp sales alone in 1950 was $13,-863.98 $13,-863.98 as compared to $12,434-.58 $12,434-.58 fcr 1949. The revenue from stamp sales excluseively in 1950 was approximately the same as the total postal revenue in 1949. A substantial increase in money mon-ey orders was also seen at tha Orem post office in 1950, Mr. Broadhead said, with a total of $219,634.19 in money orders sold as compared with $211,243-.87 $211,243-.87 sold in 1949. Christmas Rush Peak month at the Orem post office during 1950 was December Decem-ber when the greatest volume of mail ever recorded passed through the office. Stamp sales during December almost doubled doubl-ed those of the same month of 1949 with a total of $4,lu3.47 sold in December, 1950, as compared com-pared to $2,816.18 sold in 1949. Mr. Broadhead said that the Orem office sold thousands more 2 cent stamps this year than last, indicating that Christmas greetings greet-ings mail was more voluminous than ever. He stated that packages sent during the Christmas rush were generally well addressed, but that some of the letters and cards could not be delivered because be-cause of no return address or improper addressing. ' I Testimonial Held ror Glen Aiken A farewell testimonial in honor hon-or of Glen G. Aiken, prior to his departure for the North Central States mission was held Sunday Sun-day evening in the Lincoln ward. Leo Poulson conducted the program. Speakers were E. H. Calder. a neighbor and friend of the Aiken family; parents of tha missionary, Charles G. and Del-la Del-la Aiken; the missionary. Bishop M. D. Wallace and DeLancw Squire, representing the stake presidency. Alene Edwards and Joe Felix sang a duet, accompanied by Evelyn Higbee and Elvis Terry sang a solo, accompanied by Leah Haynes. Prayers were offered of-fered by Herbert Aiken and Leon Aiken. Clara Burgener broke her nrm seme time ago and has been having difficulty getting it to heal. It Jias been secessary to set the arm four times. Mr. and Mrs. A- L. t-kins cf Him kit y, Utah were wet kend f-'l;es's at the home cf air. and Mrs. A. Hay Ekins. Verbanatz, who usually starts at guard, is suffering from a bruised bruis-ed bone in the foot and may not be ready. At the forward posts will be Bill Cox and big Ray Gilligan with Jimmy Pyne ready for reserve duty. The A. F. club has been .are-fully .are-fully scouted by Coach Baugh and all week the Tigers have been practicing against Cavemen Cave-men defensive formations. Farley, who has been the Tigers' Tig-ers' hieh scorer in both lcneue tilts thus far, is one of the stand- out players in the league and can be counted upon to score from far out. The game may hinge on the ability of G uildinp and Cox to pot them from th quarter court and on the under-baskct under-baskct play of Gilligan. In the other Alpine division game on Friday Pleasant Grove travels to Lehi. The Lehi club edged BYHS last Friday. |
