Wllf a t t. w Mexico e that color be- of and tinge Northwest Trip Enjoyed Greatly By Couple Mr. and Mrs. R. K Booth have returned home from a three week's trip to the great Northwest. They accompanied their daughter, ' Idi Booth Carey, and her husband on an auto trip across the deserts of Nevada and over the mountains into in-to California. They called on relatives rela-tives at Sacramento, then via the great Oakland-San Francisco bridge Into San Francisco. Spending 24 hours In San Francisco sight seeing, they crossed the greatest suspension bridge In the world, known as the Golden Gate Bridge. They then proceded north through miles and miles of wine grape vineyards, running run-ning clear to the top of mountainous mountain-ous hills, a sight similar to the hillside hill-side grape vineyards of Italy. They passed through the great redwood forests of Northern California, where the largest and tallest redwood grows. Some of the trunks are large enough for an auto to drive through. Crossing the state line of Oregon they marveled at the green and restful landscape, the fertile farms and hillsides.' v Passing the -UnlTers ity of Oregon, at Eugene, and the capltol ' grounds ' Where a new cap!-tol cap!-tol building Is under construction at Salem, they got a good birds-eye view of Oregon's largest city, Portland, Port-land, Crossing the great Columbia river they entered the state of Washington, Washing-ton, where the greenness and the freshness of the landscape continues, contin-ues, with Mount Ranler looming in the distance.. The industrial city of Tacoma was enjoyed before going into the largest larg-est city of the world of its age, the city of Seattle. During their stay at the home of their daughter, and through the courtesy of both Mr. and Mrs. Carey and Mrs. Manda Chipman Stultz, who is a sister of Mrs. Booth, they went much and saw much. . They saw the government locks where Urge and small boats are lifted and lowered from salt water into the fresh water lakes of the Inland. In-land. They took a trip via boat through the Islands of Puget Sound from Seattle to Tacoma, lunching at Point Defiance. They saw., more lumber on their drives in the large saw mills than they had seen in their life time. Wonderful vegetable vege-table gardens, where they grow vegetables veg-etables the year round, were visited. This 3000-mile trip was taken as the first turn of Mr. Booth's 81st year, and the first trip outside of Utah in all his years. It was his first time to ever sleep in a pull-man pull-man sleeper, to take the first meal In a dining car. If you would ask him about it all he would likely say Oh, shucks, give me my long loved Utah. ) I IS '' I ! : i 6. . J DR. ADAM a BENNION Salt Lake City.

This is Just what visitors to the 1937 Utah State Fair during the eight days of the big state event, opening September 25th and closing the evening of October 2, will find programmed for their amusement. Assurances that the coming event, now Just around the corner on the calendar, will offer the most outstanding out-standing entertainment features of any similar event were giten In the announcement by Ernest 8. Holmes, fair manager, that the annual fair horseshow would be combined with a rodeo and circus acta' to form one gala grandstand show. ,' For years past the horseshow has been staged in the fair grounds Caliseum. The limited capacity of this building for show audiences and fact that one of the nation's foremost? fore-most? rodeos had been booked led to the suggestion that the two events be combined to give fair visitors an attraction never before offered. Its immediate adoption means that in front of the grandstand each evening, beginning Sunday, September Septem-ber 26, audiences will witness the appearance in the same arena of in- termountaln blueblood horses and the outlaw broncs of the range. Thoroughbred Jumpers and gaited aristocrats will share la the spotlight spot-light with the wildest fcf bucking broncs, bulldoggers, and all the oth er features of a rodeo at its,..,, yrj , best. Add to the horseshow and rodeo events the appearance of several noted performers of the circus ring and there emerges an evening's entertainment en-tertainment that should prove a classic In amusement annals. The big show will have as . accompaniments accompani-ments the carnival and amusement row ride and other attractions too numerous to mention. ' So much for entertainment the best In state fair history A Allotment of practically all available space In all exhibit departments provides Just as authentic assurance that displays dis-plays will keep pace, and even surpass, sur-pass, former fairs. All space irf the manufacturers' building has been taken for the showing of products of Utah's manufacturing man-ufacturing plants. A number and variety of agricultural and horticultural horticul-tural entries, plus a bumper crop year, means displays of Utah's farm and orchard products at their very best. Livestock, too, will be shown to the greatest advantage. Women's work, 4-H club and Future Fu-ture Farmers of America activities on the farm and in the home, agriculture agri-culture machinery exhibits, fish and game, mining products and mine equipment, rabbits and hares, pigeons, pige-ons, poultry, and a thousand and one displays in the various departmentsall depart-mentsall will be at the fair dressed dress-ed in their Sunday best. Special shows, such as the dog show, flower show, will vie with many contests for attention at the big fair. Every department will stage its special contest events. With these and the myriad of attractions will go the music of many bands, the Joyous clamor of the carnivals, the shouts of the concession barkers, bark-ers, and all the other attributes of the state's annual exposition. To miss the 1937 state fair Is to miss the biggest and best of all such events. To miss it is to erase from the calendar the greatest of statewide state-wide frolics and the educational and informative advantages that can come only from such a combination of big doings as the Utah state fair. Utah County Citizens to Resort to Supreme Court In Valuation Fight Upwards of 200 American Fork and vicinity taxpayers yesterday voted to resort to the Supreme court of Utah to ascertain if the State Tax Commissioners have the au thority to raise the 1937 assessed valuation of improvements in the face of "protests of county commis sioners, the county assessor and taxpayers tax-payers themselves. This action came when it was definitely ascertained at the Provo meetlnir Thursday that the State Tax Commission would not yield In the matter and after prolonged ar gument and questions on the matter rmd been flung back and forth. County taxpayers contended that improvement valuations in the smal ler cities and communities should not bo as high as in the largest rities of the state, while the tax commission holds that these values should be exactly the same In an tccnrral locations, regardless of the size of the community or location and that the difference in assessed value will be made up through the difference in value of the lot or farm on which the improvements are located. The meeting was directed by Frank Shelley of American Fork. L. M. Atwood, county assessor; Howard How-ard Leatham, of the state tax commission, com-mission, and "County Attorney Arn-ald Arn-ald Roylance, discussed the numerous numer-ous phases of the question at issues.

Fork New Seed Verification Verifi-cation Regulations Announced Modifications in the regulations covering the Seed Verification Service Ser-vice designed to Improve further the conditions under which alfalfa and red-clover seed for sale to farmers and others are verified as to origin, were announced today by A. O. Black, chief. Bureau of Agricultural Economics. The new regulations provide that tags verifying the orlga of alfalfa and red-clover seed cannot be attached at-tached to lots of seed for sale unless un-less the seed meets specified minimum mini-mum standards of germination, purity pur-ity and noxious weed seed content. .The regulations also require that an alysis tags be attached to all shipments ship-ments of alfalfa and red-clover seed in all cases where the Bureau authorizes au-thorizes the use of an official tag verifying the origin of the seed. The regulations also limit government verification of origin to domestically domesti-cally grown seeds. Doctor Black explained that, under un-der the new regulations, every bag of alfalfa and red-clbver seed bearing, bear-ing, a tag verified -origtn-seed-certl-flcate must also bear ah wiaiysis tag showing the seed to contain not more than t "per cent weed aeedV purity of 98 per cent or better with s. tolerance of 3 per cent of other crop seeds, and a minimum of 65 per cent of live, pure seed. The quantity of noxious weed seeds must be no more than is allowed under the laws of the state into which the seed is shipped. For many years origin has been recognized - as an, important -factor in the adaptability of certain seeds to the area where grown. In order to give the farmer authenic information infor-mation as to the origin of alfalfa and red-clover seed bought by them the Bureau established the Seed Verification Service 10 years ago. Under this service over 90 of the principal field seed dealers of the United States are now cooperating with the department in keeping records rec-ords and stocks of alfalfa a nd red- clover seed in accordance with the rules, regulations, and Instructions of the secretary of agriculture and the chief of the bureau. These are submitted to inspection and super vision by official inspectors. During these 10 years more than 400.000,000 pounds of alfalfa and red-clover seed have been verified as to origin. The alfalfa seed verified in recent years in the Northern and Central States represents more than 85 per cent of their commercial pro duction.
