Show FRIDAY, SEPTj FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1944 THE AMERICAN FORK CITIZEN .99 'New Neighbors Each week this column will carry an introductory story of some new citizen who hasehosen American Fork as their future home. MEET THE MULLLNERS Mr. and Mrs. Joseph B. Mulliner Mulli-ner who arc buying their home at 395 Harrison Ave. They have been here a year this month but Mrs. Mulliner is one of those very busy persons who has not found time for an interview until un-til this week. They moved to American Fork from Shelley. Idaho, where Mr. Mulliner had been employed by the Utah-Idaho Sugar company! for some time. He is now main- j tenance foreman in the rolling, mills at Geneva Steel. J Though born and raised in i Idaho Mr. Mulliner really belongs ' to this locality. His mother was ' Margaret Adams, daughter of ! Ar.a Adams one of the original Nothing Succeeds Like Success Our "know how" for success is success itself, for nothing succeeds like success. After thirty-nine years of consistent 'progress, we've come to expect it. Factually speaking here is our 1913 success record: dross Income for 1913 $ 34,467,306.92 Increase over previous year 4.113,050.86 Total Assets 129.200,003.80 Increase over previous year 17,426,812.31 Surplus Protection to Policyholders 18,186,933.52 Increase over previous year 1,252,245.69 Insurance in Force 1423,640,510.00 Increase over previous year 131,210,924.00 American National Insurance Company Galveston, Texas VV. L. Moody, Jr., President Louis 0. Johnson, Agent TELEPHONE 64-W American Fork settlers of American Fork, and his father is a member of the Mulliner family who settled In Lehi and for whom 'VMulllner's Pond" was named. Mrs. Mulliner was Harriet Pearson of Oakley. Summit county. coun-ty. Sh is a graduate of the USAC with a B. S. degree In home economics. She is a member of the Newcomers Club and chairman chair-man of the Outdoor Recreation group. Last winter she taught the Gleaner Girls in the Second ward MIA. Like all westerners, Mr. Mulliner Mulli-ner likes to hunt and fish. Both Mr. and Mrs. Mulliner are ardent readers and try to keep posted on the newest things in books. They have two children, Kent, who is four, and Mary Jo, just two years old, both as full of energy as small chlldrencan be. Clean Seed About 200 disease greeting plants can be ipread by "spores present on seeds. Seed disinfection helps to prevent the distribution of seed-borne seed-borne diseases. Move From Farms A checkup on the whereabouts of 1,602 rural young men in an Ohio county showed that about 40 per cent were in the armed services and 83 per cent had moved to nearby Industrial In-dustrial centers Compost Heap A compost heap is composed of Jall manner of vrtable refuse, which is allowed to dcrorr.pose nnd is then returned to the soil in the form of humus. M;iny gardeners caution against iicidmtf diseased plants to the comport hoap. Federal Man Expects No Change In Cattle ! W II For one small gate admission, admis-sion, you see it all . . . animal acta, daredevil stunt,chorus of beautiful Hollywood girls, glamorous fireworks, colorful exhibits. Enjoy this great 1944 exposition! Price Administrator Chester A. Bowles recently stated In a letter about tattle and corn prices, to the Kansas City Star: "We have no plans at the present time for reducing, during the coming fall or winter, the maximum prices for cattle established by the Cattle Cat-tle Stabilization Program. You are aware, however, that actual prices have varied widely since that program went Into effect last December. Similar variations may occur during the next feeding feed-ing season due to supply and demand de-mand conditions without any changewhatsoever In the stabilization stabili-zation maximums. There are no present indications that corn ceilings will be increased. Therefore, There-fore, it seems reasonable to expect ex-pect that present ceilings will continue in effect throughout the coming cattle feeding season. Any change probably would be only a minor adjustment to meet legal requirements and would not have any important effect on livestock production costs." Russians Develop New Perennial Wheat The Moscow press recently reported re-ported that a perennial variety of wheat has been successful in practical field tests this year on collective farms from Siberia to the Kuban. No data are available on the yields per acre. The several seve-ral varieties being tested persist as long as five years after a sowing. sow-ing. The kernels have a gluten content as high- as American wheat. The immediate goal of one experiment is wheat which will give a normal harvest for two years from one planting. The wheat was developed by cross pollination of wild perennial grasses of the Agropyrum family with wheat. . Squint From Bomb Shock After a bombing in Scotland six cases of eye squint in children, attributed at-tributed to shock, were recorded in Dundee THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... j$ tested " The more read about it, Judge, the more I realize the tactics and requirements of this war art as different from the one I fought in 25 years ago as night is from day." . r ";Yes, and 1 canrive you an example of, " How true that is, Fred.

Contour cultivation it basic conservation conser-vation farming, essential to increased production for war today and the preservation of America's soil for the farmer of tomorrow, says the War rood Administration. Contouring cuts down erosion by preventing water from carrying off the toil. It increases acre-yields of crops, maintains their quality by holding the fertile topsoil in place, and increases - the -moisture-content of the- land. Combined with other practices, it adds to their effectiveness. Contour farming means plowing, harrowing, planting, cultivating, and harvesting on the level rather than up and down -the slope around the. bill istbe.r than, over it The furrowed ridges slow down the movement of water off the field, allowing more moisture mois-ture to soak into the ground, and Flopping the foil from being washed down to lower levels. W hen contouring contour-ing cuts the speed of the water run-off in half, for example, ita capacity for carrying aoil drops about 75 percent, according to Vi FA reports. In controlled con-trolled tests covering a 7-year period, land cultivated up and down bill lost almost two and a half timet as much soil per acre as land farmed on the contour. Contouring has many variations such as contoured intertilled crops, contour trip-cropping, contour seeding of mall grain crops, and contouring for water conservation. But WTA points out that the basic principle it the tar.-.c working across the tlope instead in-stead of paralleling it Assistance in carrying out these and other contour prsclkcs is available to farmers under! the conservation program administered adminis-tered by the Agricultural Adjustment Agency. Type of toil and tteepoeca of tlope both influence the retaining capacity of contour furrows, says WFA. Con touring may be all that it required to control erosion on land with open, porous toil, easy slopes, or where rainfall it gentle. Under leaa advantageous advan-tageous conditions, additional practices, prac-tices, such -m terracings covjer crop, and tod waterways may be required to achieve the best results. Conservation of moisture, toil, and plant nutrients through contouring has had a notable effect on acre-yield of crops, aayt WFA. In specific areas startling increases were reported, such as 23 bushels more- corn an acre, in Iowa, an increase of 62 bushels per acre of eoybeant in Illinois, 44 more bushels of potatoes an acre in New York, an increase of 4 buhels of wheat per acre in the Great Plains, and 29 pounds more cotton per contoured acre in Texas. Most of the farmers who have been using the contour method of handling their crops report that it call for less fuel, less power, and lest work than going up and down the slope. Experience has shown that on an 8-percent 8-percent slope a fanner can plow 10 percent more land on the contour in a given period, and that he will use 10 percent lest trafctor fuel acre for acre. In Illinois it waa reported that costs bad been reduced aa much at 95 cents an acre for man labor, 25 cents an acre for horse and machinery expense, ex-pense, and 72 cents an acre for total farm expenses, compared with costs on uncoutoured farms.
