Mrs. Gillesyear-roun- Sugar beet growers of Sharon Stake and vicinity are happy over the best yield they gave had in years although the acreage planted was less than any previous year and only one tenth of what it was ve years ago. There were 324 144 in Vineyard, acres planted t. 166 in Windsor, and 14 in Seventy one farmers were engaged in this production, 32 of whom came from Windsor. The average yield amounted to 15 tons an acre. Actually the yield was usually much higher but a few almost complete crop failures, due to poor planting, look down the average for the whole. Many farmers averaged 25 tons to the acre. There were several causes for this years success. One of the most heartening was the use of a new plant. Formerly seeds have been obtained from Germany and the plants grown from them were very suoceptible to blight and the rnvaires of flvs. The new seed is produced in bt. George, Utah . wondei and hardy, There has also been suuicient moisture id agiceable lliis y sai ami weather. The average price ' given the farmers was $6.00 a ton which makes the entire crop worth about $30,000.00. There would undoubtedly have been more beets grown if the problem of get i ig a good return had looked a little more favorable. For some time farmers have been disgruntled with the prices offered and have consequently refused to grow beets. In view of the superior yield and product now possible, a good price is deserved and very much to be hoped for.

Christensen met with the .State Road Commission at the State Capitol. An appeal was made for the early widening of the hard surface road through, Orem, the extension of the sidewalk to the town limits, and the installation of electric caution signals at busy intersections. Three signals will be installed in the near future and the Commission assured the committee that a section of road between Provo and Pleasant Grove would be widened next summer. No definite plan for the sidewalk could be made at present. A speed limit of forty miles per hour has been established between Pleasant Grove and Springville. The Commerce Organization urged this action be taken some weeks ago and they appreciate the response of the State Road Commission on this important matter. 0 Board Attends Banquet Orem was well represented at the convention and banquet of the Associated Civic Clubs of Northern Utah held.at the" Roberts Hotel Wednesday.

For example, the 1936 school census figures reve.al some facts about the community that were unsuspected by t uny of us and very interesting for all. The data for the tabulation of the Census Returns of the Lincoln District for the year 1936 was collected by the High School teachers and compiled by Karl Banks. During a petusal of the figures which folliw, several difinite population trends become evident. a1 The school population of the Lincoln District is increasing in spite of numerous decreases in various districts of the state. 2 The number of school families residing in the district is also increasing due to the increase of those moving in over those moving out of the district. 3 The lower grades especially the first and second, show the smallest enrollment, which may indicate a trend toward decreasing birth rate. 4 The number of school children per family also shows a marked decrease as compared to that of a year ago, 5 The boys decidedly exceed the girls in number, 6 Only a small number of children are unable to continue their school activity because of mental or physical disability.

We have listened with shocked stories of extravagant gambling on Wall Street, and hopeful betting on horse races. We have come into close contact with gambling in trying to make a living through agriculture while betting on weather conditions, markets and prices. The poultry business also turns out to be a gamble even when-i- t is conducted witli expert skill and thorough knowledge. If you do not believe this, a brief survey of one of the best turkey businesses in the U. S. will prove the point. Jn the little community of Vineyard, Mr. Ed. Spaulding and wife raised this year 5,000 turkeys. For the last three years this number has been duplicated.

She leaves a large number of friends who feel her loss deeply and who appreciate the refining, gentle influence she left wherever she went, Agnes Katherine Strebel Taylor was born in Gurth Bayern, Germany, January 1, 1877, the daughter of Peter and Elizabeth Strebel. She entered school at the age of 6 and was graduated at the age of 13. She, writh her parents, accepted the gospel and at the age of 13 she came to America, She was to accompany Elder Budge, but he was retained longer on his mission, so she came with other elders with whom she was not acquainted. On reaching Utah, she was met by Anthon Budge and lived with his family at Bear Lake for a year. Her father and one brother next came to Utah so she came to Provo with them to make their home. Some time later her mother and 4 other brothers came and made their home here. On April 11, 1900 she married Ashted Taylor in the Salt Lake Temple. She was the mother of 7 children, five of whom survive her, as follows: Fontella Buckner, Leo A. Taylor, Le Roy S. Taylor, Stanley Taylor and Fred Taylor. She is also survived by 1 sister and 6 brothers, Katherine Silver, Germany; Ulrich Strebel, Ogden, Salt Lake George and Antone, Michael and City aid Andrew Martin Strebel of Provo.. When the Relief Society wr in first organized Grand View, Oct. 16, 1913 she was appointed 1st counselor; a position he held for 20 years. Mrs. Taylor passed away Nov. 11, 1936 following a second stroke which she suffered Nov, 9.

The Lincoln High School has a record of. a constant growth that keeps in fairly close step with its needs. Locker and shower acomodations have been inadequate for a number of years but now that inadequacy has been banished. Entering the locker room from the main hall, one goes through a smaller passageway into a large room bolding row after row of 315 sliming brown steel lockers of them. Every gym student is allowed one in which to keep his or her gym clothing, locker and key is provided to help guard against a possible loss. Provision is made in this room for all sorts of equipment needs and their care. Just off the locker room is another large one containing thirteen showers. This is sufficient to allow students plenty of time for dressing before the next classes. The new space also provides a small office for the gym instructor. There are two sets of these new facilitims one for girls downstairs and one for boys upstairs. That means that the number of lockers and showers etc., are doubled. were ob- -' These improvements tained through one of the Government Projects which furnished the labor, the school board furnishing the materials. The work was practically all done during the summer months very little now remaining for completion. It represents the filling of one more need in the growing necessities of an excellent institution. TESTIMONIAL A farewell testimonial will be given Sunday evening, November 2th, hi the Vineyard Ward hall in honor of Wil- bur Harding who will leave December 3rd for the NorthThe ern States Mission. Ward Missionary committee, Axel F. Andreason, chairman has prepared an interesting program to which they invite all friends and relatives. Whether or not we are able to express our respect and good wishes for Elder Harding by attendance that evening, we sincerely hope he may have a happy, successful missionary service. Vorld Crop Insurance For The Farmer When United States Congress meets this year, there will be a good deaUf discussion of ways and means to take some of the fatalities out of the gambling lives the farmers live. Secretary Henry will be the leading A. Wallace voice and the plan he will propose is already carefully worked out. Help for the farmers is an. ancient story. The last few years have seen some great experiments in providing it. President Roosevelt has now made public a letter asking Mr. Wallace to draft a bill to be presented to the coming session of Congress providing for federal crop insurance. There have been other attempts at crop insurance but none that con'd really be called successful. Private companies have even given insurance on market prices but that was always disastrous. Today there are no companies who care to gamble in any way on mother nature down on the farm. , Type of Insurance Proposed Secretary Wallace does not prothat pose the type of insurance deals with price declines. The basic principle of his proposal is to guarantee the farmer a minimum quality crop. In surplus years the farmer throws a percentage of his crop into an insurance reserve and in bad years he makes up his crop shortage out of the reserve. Premiums would be collected and insurance claims paid in quantities of in inOuvy. crops, Secretary Wallace believes that by using on a commodity crop insurance (Cirtt .tued on page eight) all-ri- t..

Vernon The season for the annual Road Show is drawing near and there seems to be unusual interest manifest in the event this year. Each of the wards in the stake report that initial steps have already been taken and in many instances rehearsals are already under way for the acts to be presented. Sharon Stake has the reputation of having presented some of the finest Road Show acts in the Chu: ch during the past few years, and we fully anticipate that this reputation will be upheld this year. The dates set for the presentation : re Dec. 8 for the ward preform-anre- s and Dec. 11 for the stake f nals. There will be no Mutual meetings on the evening of the ward presentations.
