Mr. Halliday gave an illuminat-iner illuminat-iner discussion of aircraft possibilities possi-bilities for Provo at the Provo Kiwahis club meeting, Thursday noon, after he and V. J. Carter, transport pilot formerly of Spanish Span-ish Fork, inspected the Provo port, which is now in the process of construction in the south part of the city, adjacent to the golf ourse. Sees Wider Air Travel "Feeder airlines through such sections as Provo will be developing develop-ing rapidly in the near future,,' tiwid Mr. Halliday. "These lines ... . 1 1 . i Salt Lake City." He predicted that airplanes will come into use more and more for short jumps of 100 to 150 mile3 and even shorter trips such as Provo to Salt Lake City. They will also be used increasingly as pleasure craft. Mr. Halliday was impressed especially es-pecially by the proximity of Pro-vo's Pro-vo's new airport to the city. There is ample room for growth of the field toward the south, he pointed out. and he declared that citizens of Provo will be .surprised at the growth that will become necessary as the use of the field develops. Development Certain "Aviation will develop and change the front door of every city," Mr. Halliday said.

UTAH COUNTY FARMERS HEAR SOIL PROGRAM Director William Peterson Of State Extension Staff, Speaker Procedure under the new-soil new-soil conservation act, which 4s expected to be operating in Utah within 10 days, was outlined out-lined to more than 300 farmers farm-ers of Spanish Fork and surrounding sur-rounding communities, Wednesday Wed-nesday evening in the Spanish Span-ish Fork junior high school auditorium audi-torium by William Peterson, state director of agricultural extension work. Participation Voluntary "Under this new program, replacing re-placing the A. A. A., Utah farmers will be paid to improve their farms, but there will be no contracts, con-tracts, and participation will be entirely voluntary,'' Mr. Peterson declared. He is touring the state lecturing to farm leaders to acquaint ac-quaint them with! benefits and procedure of the new plan. Aim of the program, he explained, ex-plained, is to transfer 15 per cent of the farm land now planted to soil-depleting crops to soil-conserving or soil-building crops. Payments for such transfers will average $10 per acre on a maximum maxi-mum of 15 per cent of the base acreage on each farm planted to soil-depleting crops, excepting sugar beets, cotton, tobacco, flax and rice. Payments on transfers from sugar beet acreage are figured with respect to the value of raw sugar recoverable from the normal nor-mal yield. Predicting the plan will bo functioning in Utah within 10 days, Director Peterson said the state extension division would direct the work, and that county committees would be named to cooperate. co-operate. "The first step will be a declaration declar-ation of policy and purposes" Director Peterson said, "then participants par-ticipants in the program will meet and organize the necessary committees.'' com-mittees.'' Mr. Peterson devoted one-half hour to a discussion of weed con trol, uiging the planting of clean j seed and cooperation of the buyer in the campaign. He commended j the weed eradication program re- j cently adopted in Utah county as a WPA project. ' He reported that two complaints were being constantly received by the extension division: That it! is harder to irrigate now, anu that the land would not produce as it did formerly. These are indications in-dications that the soil is being denleted and that the soil conservation conser-vation program is vitally needed in Utah, he pointed out. David H. Jones, president of the Utah County Farm Bureau, was in charge ol the meeting. During the meeting a resolution extending extend-ing appreciation for the services of Lyman Rich, who is retiring after six years of service as Utah county agricultural agent, was onanimously adopted. The resolution resolu-tion was proposed by R. B. Money of Spanish Fork. S. R Boswell, new county agent; Clarence Aston, assistant, and Mr. Rich, members of the county extension staff, were present pres-ent at the meeting. meetingsIet on farm plan The new soil conservation program pro-gram will be explained to farmers of Utah county in a series of eight meetings in various parts of the county this week, it was announced Thursday by the county coun-ty agricultural office.
