The turkey raisers of the state this ear have sold approximately 25,000 of the birds for Thanksgiving, amounting to nearly $100,000 worth of business. The proportion of the turkey raising industry in Utah can be estimated when it is shown that, the Thanksgiving sales will bring into the pockets of the Utah farmers approximately $74,000. About twelve cars were sold, chiefly from the Uinta basi.n, up to Tuesday, and between fifteen and twenty more carloads will be sold during the Christmas buying. Utah turkey raisers received oi an average of ten cents a pound more for their turkeys this year on the New York market than the Texas growers, previously known as the turkey-growin- g state. X. - YOUNG WIND GRIDDERS UP CHILDREN THANKSGIVING DAY VIEW PLEASANT OF TjVELV SEASON In the Butte, Mont., jail are three persons, Jennie Topham, age 17, of Santaquin, arid Mr. and Mrs. George Katsulis, a Greek couple, whose home is unknown. The story of Jennie Topham, according to Provo officers, is' merely the story of a pretty, romantic and ambitious girl, who was attracted by promises of a future behind the footj lights. The girl is the daughter ;c:f Mrs.1 Ella L. Topham of Santaquin: Some months ago she came to Provo to work, and later went to Salt Lake City, and while there she met Katsulis and his wife, who were itinerant performers, dancing and singing before varied audiences. Officers believe that the girl was attracted byi they related, and that the lure of the bright lights and the country which would be covered by their planned tour induced her to join the diminutive show. On November 22 the trio left Provo, going to Salt Lake City, and thence to Butte. According to their nlans they intended to leave Bulte yesterday and work their way through the east, to New York City. The girls mother became anxious and requested local officers to bring the girl back to Provo. Following instructions the police department at Butte was notified to watch for the trio, and take charge of the girl. This was done and; Monday evening, a few hours prior to their proposed departure for. the east, the Montana officers took the three people into custody. Chief f Police Wren Wilkins was immediately notified and yesterday morning requested the department of justice to determine whether or not the Mann net had n.een violated. X not no charge wil be placed against the Greek and his wife. The girl, however, will he jbrought pack to Provp and turned over to her mother.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR FORMER PROVO BOY THURSDAY For the first time in history Utah agricultural produce ;this year topped the eastern market, and this' is in a large measure due to the close cooperation of state and federal agencies with the farmers of the various communities. Coming nearer to home, it has been found that out of all produce shippedj by Utah county farmers this season tinder federal and state initial point shipping inspection there has not been one reversal. Due to the industrial development of Utah county during the past year, the various communities have been prone to pay insufficient attention to agriculture, the basic industry of the county, and the backbone of Utah county. The growth, it is true, has been slow but to Heber J. WebbJ state according crop inspector who was in Provo Wednesday, a great stride has been made during the past year. In 1922 for theifirst, farmers of in 1922, for the first time, farmers of Utah couDty, according to Mr. Webb, commenced jshipping produce in accordance with U .S. grading and standardizing regulations. In that year 750 cars were sent out of Utah under the federal and state supervision. It is, however, the 1923, which has demonstrated year the growth of the popularity of standardized and graded produce from Utah county and the state. A total of approximately 15 00 carloncjs have shipped to date out of the state under the by the department of agriculture. Utah county has alone shipped to' the markets 0 2 9 carloads of the total or 4 2 per cent, and not one. reversal waa recorded. Te saiiie cannot be said cf or county. s There were no jreverses out of Utah county this year, said Mr. Webb, and it is significant that for the first time Utah - peaches and onions topped the markets and onions set the grade. This year 406 carloads of peaches, 172 carloads of apples, sixteen oriions, thirty-on- e carloads of ifears, two carloads of prunes and fifteen carloads of.pota-bee- n toes have to date sent out Utah county in accordance with, fedof eral and state standards. At one time during the season eleven inspectors were required and twenty-on- e were loading points served by these inspectors. There was no fee for this work, as the state inspection was covered by levies authorized under statutes enacted during the past legislature. It was the first time that no fee was required. Mr. Webb also stated that federal inspectors commented frequentlj upon the high gride of i Utah proand the fact that duce, had never seen Utah produce they on th markets as such. The unusual quality and grade oi the Spanish onions, grown in Utai were such that no federal grading ..and standardization could cover there and it was found necessary for the state to establish an extra qualit grade. Some of these onions of the fancy large grade? were from three to five inches in 4anieter, and the popularity of these Utah vegetables grew by bounds, with the result that according to Mr. Webb, housewives throughout the country demanded them on every occasion. The market is demanding Utal county onions, averred Mr. Webbr,J and for every one carload being shipped from this county there should h a thousand. One of the most important things that the farmers musl learn is that they need central packing and grading points, and that disinterested parties must grade theil v produce. The superiority of all types ol Utah produce Is shown by the statement of R. G. Robb, in charge ol federal inspection vork, that he had never seen such bteautiful apples as are grown here. He also expressed his belief that through proper grading and packing Utah apples would prove fully as popular. If not more so, than those grown in the northwest. Standardization and is one of the biggest stepsgrading in marketing, declared Mr. Webb in conclusion, and it leads to proper growing. The possibilities 'of agriculture in Utah county and Utah are unequalled by those in any' other state. Much of the credit for the ment of the industry in Utahdevelopcounty is due to H. V. Swensoii and C. J. Sorenson, the men! who have supervised the grading and standardization in the county. Through their efforts the work has been; placed oft a high standard, and no better evidence ol the .value of the work is shown by the fact that produce from this district has topped tiie market, and nol one carload reversed. With boundless opportunities and with' bettei markets apparent there seems ample justification for the belief that agri culture will progress with equal ra pidity to other Industries. . but-certai- n, regu-lations'- .
