LOTT NOwVcTIVE FIELD MAN IN MONTANA The followlsg reprint from the Conrad, Montana paper tells of the success one of Lehi's former men is having in the new beet district B. D. LOTT AFTER 'BEETS ' "Mr. B. D. Lott, field agent for the Utah-Idaho Sugar company, who has been placed in thi3 county for at Jeast a mosth's time to develop a beet acre, age, is making a fine success of his work after being here about a week. Mr. Lott; finds many of our farmers ready to cooperate with him to such a marked degree that it will assure a sugar factory for Condera county In the near future. "For the past week Mr. Lott has been working in the vicinity of Man. son and while he has sot covered this district thoroughly, finds that he will have no trouble in placing an acreage of at least 200 acres., "At the presest time the sugar beet program for 1928 will consist of three units In this county, with probabjy 250 acres at Manson and 250 acres at Conrad and 250 acres at Valier. It is possible that even this fine acreage will be increased materially before Mr. Lott has finished his work in the county. "According to Charles D. Greenfield, Mr. Lott is one of the best flejd men that the company sends to any locality lo-cality and he thinks one of the best in the business. We hope that every farmer interviewed will accord Mr. Lott a hearty reception and gave him every support possible. Sugar beets will increase the agricultural wealth of this county much faster than almost al-most any other program than can be followed and its success of the pio neers in the industry, those who are backing sugar beets this season." o FAREWELL GIVEN MISSIONARY A farewell social was tendered John Worlton, son of Mr. and Mrs. R, B.

CITY OFFICIALS TO ATTEND MUNICIPAL LEAGUE A full delegation of Lehi City officials offici-als will be represented at the State Municipal League convention at Nephi today and Friday. Lehi will attempt to secure the convention here next year. Those expecting to attend are: Mayor and Mrs. Joseph S. Broadbent, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Fox, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Larsen, Mr. and Mrs. William Asher, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Wilcox and Mr. and Mrs. H. v.. Evans. The Livestock Situation The last census of beet cattle shows 66,000.00 in the United States.1 being 2,000,000 less than previous census. This Is significant in view of the present population of 118,000,000 peopla in the United States and cos. stantly increasing in the face of the decreasing number of cattle. The bulk of this decrease Is in Western Slates although smaller decreases are noted in the northwest California has 468,000 hogs on the farms at this time as compared in 1920 with 909,000 hogs, in spite of the fact that in 1910 California pro. ducers received an average of $3.42 cwt for hogs and in 1925, $12.41 cwt California hog piTOducers received substantially more last year (or the product than the average for the United Uni-ted States which was $11.00 per cwt Despite) the fact that California is furnishing only a small percentage of hogs required to meet local demands de-mands for pork and pork products, the State leads in hog production for the west, being followed by Colorado, Montana and Idaho.. A substantial percentage of Pacific Coast hog requirements re-quirements are met by Middle Western West-ern supplies but the attractive differ, ential in favor of Western hog producers pro-ducers Is moving the line of hog production pro-duction westward and it la only a question of tine until the Western supply will meet the Western demand which would be an ideal situation from an economical standpoint " Recent bulletins of the Federal Reserve Banks contain a more opto-mistlc opto-mistlc tone so far as agricultural sec tions are concerned, Early market Ing of wheat brought a new influx of crop money which resulted in the re discount rata lowering from 4 per cent to 3 per cent and has strength, ened the position of country banks and brightened the prospects of agri cultural sections with reports of in stances of farm and livestock loans being paid off before maturity and Interest rebated. Anothr Federal Reserve Bank points out that the yield of small grains is less than a year ago but that the rising prices on this commodity to a large extent will offset the lower yield. Figures show that while the gross income on farm products for the fis cal year ending last July was less than for the year previous the Income In-come for livestock was $44,000,000 greater the country over. For the year farmers received around twelve billion dollars for farm products showing a decrease, of one-half billion while for the same parlod farmers and ranchers received $2,892,000,000. 00 for their livestock marketed, or a rain of $44,000,000.10. The decrease in general farm production and the Increase in livestock income again proves the wisdom of a few head of livestock on every farm in the Interest of a profitable diversification and the all Important solving of the problem of maintaining soil fertility. Domestic beef consumption was higher per capita in 1926 than any previous years. Less was exported, but the number of cattle slaughtered under Government supervision was heavier than any previous year with the exception of 1918 and 1919 which. of course, was accounted for by the heavy export during those years. A constant decrease in hog receipts re-ceipts at all public markets has been noted since 1923 when 55,330,000 hogs were marketed and this dwindles until un-til 1926 when 40,713,000 were market ed. In 1924 the corn shortage was the beginning of this decline in num bers marketed and the low price of corn during 1926 naturally resulted from tha heavy decrease in hog production pro-duction through curtailing the outlet for corn through pcf k channels. However, How-ever, receipts are regaining their volume and present prices . should serve to stimulate production providing provid-ing It Is not curtailed by the higher corn levels noted in the past lew weeks. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING HELD TUESDAY At a special council meeting Tuesday Tues-day evening a number of minor business busi-ness matters wer discussed. The committee in charge of the Union Pacific Athletic meet at Provo asked the city to send over a rep-resenitive rep-resenitive float to participate in the big county parade. The matter, was defered until Saturday evening whe the citys business men and Lehi fam bureau members will be called" together to work out something. Attorney Asher was authorized to meiet with the Alpine school board and present a bill for $100.00 for work on cleaning the city-school drain last spring. Water Superintendent Roberts was ordered to shut off all delinquent wateT users after September 15th who uau ianea u pay iney iZ7 assess ments by that date. Authority was given the mayor and recorder to borrow $1,000.00 to be used in paying city operation costs.
