The blaze, of undetermined unde-termined origin, completely destroyed de-stroyed the Interior of the homo and much of its contents. Most of the lurnlture from the two front rooms was saved, the fire confining confin-ing itself mostly to the back rooms and upstairs. All clothing and the greater part of the furnishings in these rooms were completely destroyed, de-stroyed, leaving only the charred and wrecked shell of the home which Mr. Miller had Just recently remodeled. Mrs. Miller discovered the fire shortly after 5:30 a. m. In the kitchen and hurriedly roused her family and called the fire depart ment.. Eleven firemen responded to the call and worked tirelessly for two hours to bring the flames under control. Firemen report that no one was injured or burned in the fire all members of the family fam-ily miraculously escaping from the house due to Mrs. Miller's prompt action when she first smelted smoke. The financial loss caused by the tragic fire has not yet been fully estimated. . New Grass Proves Drowth Resistant Farmers of Utah ma? son be growing a new drowth resistant forage grass on their ranges and in their pastures as' a result of experiments experi-ments conducted In collaboration with the Utah State .Agricultural ct.Ucge, the T B.' department of agriculture ag-riculture and the fjrest service, reports Dr. Wesley Ke'lc: of the USD A bureau of plant industry. The new grass, Agropyron clonga-tum clonga-tum belongs to the wheat grass family and, While it is still in the experimental stage, shows promise of being superior to drowth resisting resist-ing perennial grasses rceommended to farmers at the present time according ac-cording to Dr. Keller. The seed for experimentation came from Turkey and was planted last spring on an unused dry farm plot near Tooele. Both crested wheat and the experimental grass seedlings were planted among weeds already growing on the land. The number' of surviving crested wheat grass plants was negligible while 70 to 80 per cent of the agropyron elongatum plants survived. The new variety is a perennial bunchgrass Much larger and heavier than crested wheat grass. The leaves are heavy and ribbed more like western wheat. The heads are about a foot long and are borne on a thick stem. One of the outstading features of the plant Is its large seed which can be planted deeper than most grasses. This enables it to get a better bet-ter start even under dry conditions because of the deeper root system. Like crested wheat grass, agropyron agro-pyron elongatum starts growth early and the seed will germinate at relatively rel-atively low tempeartures. Drowth resistance of the two grasses Is about equal The coarseness of the plant would seem to Indicate that It Is not so palatable as crested wheat, but it lsi a late maturing plant,' while crested wheat matures early, becoming dry and unpalatable as soon as It ripens.

U.S.D. A. Reveals 1943 Food Production Goals Utah USDA war board members and farm leaders will receive detailed de-tailed Information oh the 1943 Food for Freedom program In a meeting to be held at Denver, Colorado, Colo-rado, November 30 through December Decem-ber 2, Orvllle L. Lee, state war board chairman, revealed. Secretary oX Agriculture, Claude R. Wlckard, will lead discussion on the allocation of food production goals In 13 western states which will be represented at the conference. Ooala . for . hogs . and wheat have already been set, as well as tentative tenta-tive goals in most other products, Mr. Lee stated. In October the Department of Agriculture announced announc-ed a 10 increase over last year's hog production as a national goal. Wheat goals have been set In the form of wheat acreage allotments. For Utah, the 1943 wheat acreage allotment Is 213,753 acres. This represents rep-resents an increase of 2,570 acres over last year. With the exception of wheat, all goals will be set at a minimum, Mr. Lee explained. That is, any increases in-creases over state goals will be encouraged, en-couraged, particularly in the vital "war crops:' Farmers are reminded that wheat acreage may be diverted to any of these "war crops," which, in Utah, Include barley, corn, dry beans, dry peas and sugar beets, without risk of loss of payments or reduction in allotment. The Denver meeting will be the first in a series pf . four regional meetings to explain and discuss the 1943 program.

Alpine School district has already made practically a ten percent gain over its 1941-42 enrollment, it was disclosed this week when all census figures were tabulated at the district office in American Fork. A total school population of 5,748 was shown as against 5,239 for last year. The tabulation Is broken Into four units, Lehi, Pleasant Grove, Lincoln and American Fork and the number of boys and girls of the district shown. The tabulated count follows: 1941-42 1942-43 Lehi 086 ijo Lincoln 1,761 1353 Pleasant Drove 1,122 1,284 American Fork 1,371 L604 TOTAL 6.238 6,745 Total boys 2,944. Total girls 2.801. A check of the above figures gives practically a ten percent Increase for the whole district. Pleasant Grove leads the other three sections with an Increase of 162 pupils or 14 percent. Lehi shows 119 extra students, a 12 percent Increase; American Fork 133 more or 9 percent increase and Lincoln has 92 more students, nearly a six percent Increase. In-crease. Another interesting fact in the figures is that the district still has more boys In school than girls. There are 2,944 hoys and 2,801 girls of school ager tabulated. There are but 11 students, 4 boys and 7 girls, betwtn the ages oX 10 and 17 years, living In the entire en-tire district who cannot read or write. This ten percent Increase In school population In the face of the extreme shortage of living accommodations accom-modations is ample assurance that our section of Utah county is going to grow tremendously as s result of the new steel Industry coming to this section. It is generally conceded con-ceded that had we been able to furnish housing for the people desiring de-siring to locate In this section the Increase would have been at least double what we have for the construction con-struction period of the plant. The government experts have figured that our population will double the original figure as a result of. the Industrial expansion coming to this section. The present school population has been handled with little trouble and school officials feel that they can get thru the year without much inconvenience except the over crowding of classes In practically every room. The addition of a few extra teachers, instalation of extra class room seats and an extra class room, where they have been available, avail-able, have thus far met the problem of educating the entire influx of students. stu-dents. No new building has been possible and the situation has Just had to be met this way. What is to come another year no one dares try to predict but further increases will make additional class room necessary. This will be met in some way but at present no one Is able to say Just how. School Lunch Group Appeals To Housewives The school lunches being served daily for the students under the direction di-rection of the P-T A are fast becoming be-coming an important part of the school work. The advantages of these well balanced hot lunches cannot be overestimated, and parents par-ents are wisely cooperating so they may be continued. The number of students eating at the schools Is increasing rapidly, nearly 500 having been served each day in the schools during the past week. The need for more dishes is becoming be-coming acute as, the . lunches become be-come more popular. The P-T A Is sending out a call for contributions from the public. Standard size sauce dishes are especially needed. Soup bowls and spoons are next in line. Parents having any dishes to donate do-nate may send them to school with the students, and all others who desire to make contributions' may ' " leave them at any local grocery store wherd they will be accepted gladly. It is hoped that the, house- . wives of the community will re spond quickly and generously that the lunches may continue to be served throughout . the -winter months when they are doubly valuable val-uable to tbe students as weU as t the parents. ; 4,,.::,,,.,::.. |
