He stated that the Draper poultrymen had signed the contract a hundred percent strong. Mr. Edmonds went into detail on the business of the association for the past year. He stated that the mild open winter throughout the country had increased the general production of eggs and had curtailed the selling of storage eggs.

Seed Train Coming To American Fork The Union Pacific 'System has organized a Pure Seed Train and is sending it to American Fork for the benefit of the farmers of this com munlty. The train will appear on the tracks at the Salt Lake Route station on the 24th of February 1926. at 1:30 p. m. There will be two special cars of pure seeds for demonstration pur. poses and along with them will be two lecturers who will talk' to - the farmers about their special problems. There will also be two lecture cars where the lectures will be given. There will be two lectures given to each set of farmers and they will be so arranged as to permit every farm. er to hear them without having to move from one car to another. The lectures will be of 30 minutes duration and will commence at 1:30 with Lehl farmers In attendance first. American Fork . will immediately follow those from Leht, being there from 2:30 to 3:30 After American Fork will come the farmers of Pleasant Grove from 3.30 to 4:3Q after wrich the train will depart de-part for Provo. This community is to be congratulated congratu-lated in having the privilege of such a demonsratlon, and particularly in the fact that all it will cost Is an hours time. There are few towns in this state to whom this opportunity is being presented. According to the statement of Heb. er J. Webb, state crop pest inspector practically all the seed being planted m the state of Utah carries large pe. centages of coxious weed seeds and other adulterations. He has further said there is practically no reason for this as the law requires that all seed offered in the state tor sale must be Inspected. The state now has an In spection service and seed can be in. spected at a nominal cost. Here then is the opportunity for the farmers to learn the facts about pure seed. It Is the opinion of the writer that no farmers should fail to take advantage of it Noise it around and let everybody know about it that none may have excuse next season when the weeds began to grow. Watch for further notices about the pure seed train. By Wayne C. Booth. , , o High School Class Visits Printing Office The Civics Class of the High School accompanied by their instructor, J. W.
