It was made clear to the visiting delegation that Utah county had noth. ing to do with the prohibiting the sheep from being driven through Pleasant Grove. It was stated by the sheepmen that any route west of that city is too wet and dangerous, there fcciug much swamp land on either side of the graded portion of those streets. .It was decided to appeal to the state road department of such a trail, such a project is one in which the should Dartlcinate. since it would take Uils nuisance off the -state high "way Th stlae- lnth opinion ot those present, should also make it a point to provide a trail for sheep through Provo canyon itihe new road there is to be maintained in any pass nble condition.

Provo, Utah The large number of dairy cows coming into the various livestock markets during recent weeks is an mlfpfitinn that italrv man aya alil.iar advantage of the present favorable beet prices to dispose ot some of .the lower producing , animals in their herds at prices which compare very favorably with the original" price paid for these animals when they were first purchased as fresh cows or springers. There has been as high as 15 per cent ot the cattle receipts at some markets consisting of this class ot animal, and as these are fat, and have been on. full feed, they dress out well and make very acceptable meat when compared with the ordi nary run of cattle. Recent .instances are recorded where dairymen have received more than $100.00 per head tor cows going to the packers. The packing interests look with favor on this grade of cattle because they dress out fairly high as when approaching ap-proaching the drying or period they take on considerable flesh. At pres ent prioeSr approximately; .threes dis carded cows will take care of the pur chase of two fresh cows, which Is a favorable exchange, considering the Tjrfce "Tecetved "during- the producing peridd of one to three years. Almost any dairymen can make some replacements at tae present time to his distinct advantage In higher herd average and lowered pro duction coats. Some of the dairymen located at long distances frpm market are now finding it profitable to diversify their Inten&lvejlalry program , by the addition addi-tion of swine to their former spec lilt ed livestock Interests; shipping cream at prevailing butter fat prices and feeding the skim milk to growing pigs with some of the local second or third grade barley; beans or other fattening foods which are obtainable locally tt various seasons ot the year. Many of th dairymen are working this plan out to quite distinct advantage advant-age over the former practice of ship ping whole milk, as in addition to revenue from sale of hogs, they have less transportation costs on the cream than milk' and also the additional fer tility remaining on the ranch from the hog and calf feeding. The larger dairy farm owners are nearly all-acquiring adjoining lower price land, when available where some cows can be put up tor. the dry period feeding, when the pasture will not earry them. Some dairymen have ranchesLJii addition to their home place. w they haul their dry cows and weaned calves to the ranch with thelr own trucks, and returning, bring fresh cows back to the-dalry. These ranches provide pasture feed to supply cheaper carrying over and raising costs than are possible at the intensive dairy farms. There Is an opportunity in the southwest for ranches to buy well bred dairy heif-ers, heif-ers, " sired by purebred sires, at '" af. tractive prices and raise them to milk ing age for sale , to the Intensive dairy centers near the big cities where good dairy cows are now bring ing about twice what it would cost to raise the calves to maturity under range conditions. 'The rancher located so as to take advantage of these conditions will be rewarded with more lucrative returns than either the intensive dairy farmer or the distant producer, who is not located close' enough to take advant age of the well bred dairy calves now being vealed. o Secretary's Keport Of The Activities Of The Ameri can Fork Lions Club For First Year Ending March 30, 1928. , (Continued from page 1) - - Our club has been credi ted with be ing the principal factor in making American Fork's annual Poultry- day an outstanding event looked forward to oy the enure state. It is indeed a credit to our mem bership for the splendid accomplish ment resulting from the Installation of a sprinkling system for the several blocks on Main street, also the parking park-ing and lawns that were planted by the property owners under tne dlrec. tlon of the lion Club Committee. On numerous ocasslons pressure from our club has brought about -ex-, penditures from the county and state on the highways adjacent to our com. munity. Our City Administrative officers have at all times welcomed the suggestions of our committees on various problems necessitating the ex. pendlture of public funds. Our club went on record immediate, ly after it was organized in sponsoring sponsor-ing a band for the purpose ot supplying supply-ing entertainment during the summer months for our community and trave. ling public. This project has received an abundance of favorable commendation commenda-tion from the" 'citizens of American Fork and elsewhere. Committees have been sent to vari ous parts of the state by our club to study various preplexlng problems, one of an outstanding nature waa that of a warehouse for the purpose of handling our produce preliminary to shipping. Many products such as onions, cabbage, lettuce, celery, etc., can be raised In abundance In and about American Fork should favorable facilities be provided for handling .fliem. Our club 'went , Into this nroh. lem, appointed committees to visit those sections of the state with a similar problem and" as a result rec. ommended that the club co-operate with the Farm Bureau , .In . erecting such a warehouse for American Fork. Our committees have' made a partial study of., the tax problem and recommended recom-mended action aa far as their study would permit - Commendable : recognition Is flue our membership for the attitude they hare taken in support of our educa- tional jystej,.FiiT MBiMJ?-ord MBiMJ?-ord as favoring the scholar-ship award plan. Our - committee are still working on further recommendations recommenda-tions for a better working condition between our community and the school system. The club have been indeed considerate of our schools in that they have on many, occasions chosen parts of their regular programs pro-grams from various sections of the system. . Records show that at least twice per month during the regular season, expert men and women in their par- community by the club tor the pur. pose of lecturing on various topics of an educational nature. This type ot personal ranges from the Honorable Governor of our state, professors of different educational systems of the state and various other fields.. Many real contributions have beceme ours as a result of this one adventure. It would be indeed thoughtless of our membership to loose sight of the very liberal offer that came from our Friend Professor Albert Eastmond, formerly of American Fork, now Pro! i of Art in the Brlgham Young unnlver- slty. Prof. Eastmond at one time when? in attendance at our club prof. ferredoake-AlneficanorKiaeT pository for his life's collections, of art providing the community would providd a. suitable place to exhibit these valuable collections. It is rec. ommended that our educational committees com-mittees bear in mind this and make preparations to accept this wonderful wonder-ful offer before Prof. Eastmond's at tention might be drawn elsewhere. To the credit of the American Fork Lions Club is the late Boy Scout Drive in which some 1450.00 has been collected in our community to further furth-er this cause. This drive has been a real task indeed, but the exception of but a few dollars the drive is complete. com-plete. The membership have pledged 100 percent as the goal. On two ocasslons the club have co-operated with the city in putting over a real town clean up program. The-Dons themselves have gone onto the streets and assisted in making these days a real success. Since our affiliation with this great International, many Invitations have come to our members to attend tunc tions or other such organizations about the state. This alone has brought to us a contact of an un-measurable un-measurable value. Business is the principle motive of such an organization as ours, but pleasure is also considered as a part of our great program. On several occasions we have branched out In a social way, inviting townsmen and friends from the outside to participate partici-pate with us in different forms ot entertainmen. This - has' brought about a real co-operation between the club and that group not of our membership. At the close of our first year we find that our membership has increased in-creased from 43 at the time of chartering chart-ering to 60 active and progressive Lions; "Four mTmberif have"fo.rTarN ous reasons discontinued during this period. This increase came to us entirely unsolicited on the part of our membership committees. Because of the splendid spirit and co-operation, the friendship and fellowship fel-lowship that seems to determine the destiny of such an organization, we have experienced no - difficulty in a A MM TTT A TT ' " r i reaching the hearts of tht ':L.i membership, desirous of the V ' of such a community as on. making American Fork a stron, In the chain of more thaaH organizations within the tiu rWe are now a unit that nu mand recognition in almost that may present it's self xaitt sponidrshlp.
