After the slaughter of the first born, Pharaoh told the children of Israel to depart from Egypt. Then commenced the wanderings of the children of Israel, who spent forty years in the wilderness, before they reached the promised land of Canaan. And the Lord went before the Israelites by day in a pillar of cloud, end by night in a piilar of fire. Pharaoh's heart was hardened toward the Children of Israel after their departure and he took his army and pursued them. God instructed Moses to lift his rod and stretch his hand over the Red sea. And the waters of the Red sea parted and they went through on dry land. But when the Egyptians pursued, Moses again stretched forth his hand. "And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came jnto the sea after them; there remained r.ot so much as one of them." Ex. 14: 2R. This illustration is from Merian's story of the Bible, engraved in 1C25. .'It -1 ii -4 Hon." "In Utah we have a fine country for stock raising and agriculture and abundance of minerals awaiting await-ing development, and we welcome all good citizens who love peace and good order to come and settle with us. It has been our policy from the first to promote the agricultural agri-cultural interests, seeing this was the foundation of all others, and we have been for years furnishing staple products to the surrounding states and territories, and we are now able to supply any demnnd likely to arise for grain, vegetables, etc. at the market prices, to those engaged in mining pursuits." "We have iron ores and coal in rich abundance. We have called mercahnts in every department of business, but we lack capital, and there it no safer place to ba found in the United States, where property prop-erty of almost every kind Is test taxed and better protected all reports re-ports to the contrary notwithstanding." notwithstand-ing." iRobt.

"American agriculture plowed itself it-self into a predicament during the last war when we turned under the sod 40,000,000 acres of land that should have been left in grass, That land became the dust bowl in the early 1930's. It has taken hard, expensive ex-pensive work to bring that situation under some semblance of control," he said. "Nations in Europe are fighting for land they don't have. We are waging a fight over here to keep what we do have. A total of 100,-000,000 100,-000,000 acres of present and former cropland have been ruined already, the equivalent roughly of one-fourth the area now used for production of crops. Now we must help the farmers farm-ers of the nation conserve the crop land, the grazing land and the one-third one-third of the national forest resources re-sources which are on farms." In irrigated and diversified areas of Utah, including Utah county, farmers in 1940 will be encouraged to use more of the soil-conserving practices which have been proven to be effective for their own types of farm. Practices toward which particular attention is focussed by conservation conserva-tion emphasis in the 1940 program include these: Controlling noxious weeds with clean cultivation or chemical methods meth-ods on designated plots. Planting, protecting and improv ing stands of forest trees for wind and water erosion control. Payments Pay-ments up to $30 per farm, exclusive of all other farm program pay ments, may be earned by planting forest trees. Building of check dams in irrigation irriga-tion water ways to control erosion, leaching, and seepage. Mulching with straw or hay on orchards and commercial vegetable lands. Renovating alfalfa, by cultivation, when such practices are Judged beneficial ben-eficial to the stand. Application of superphosphate where such fertilizer Is needed. It is pointed out that only the practices which are beneficial to any particular farm will be approved for payment He urged that each farmer in the county talk over his problems with a member of his county or community committee before be-fore launching his own soil-building program.

The equalization of farm land values in Utah county, agreed on Friday at a meeting in Provo between be-tween members of the state tax commission, the Utah county commission com-mission and the county assessor, Is regarded as a successful climax to efforts of the Utah County Farm bureau and the county assessor, Frank G. Shelley of American Fork, Farm Bureau president, said Tuesday. Tues-day. The equalization will result in a reduction of approximately $300,000 in this year's assessment for property proper-ty tax purposes, and will bring the Utah county valuations more nearly in line with those of other counties. Although we feel that valuation of farm land for tax purposes should be made with regard to ability to pay, the equalization agreed upon is good news to the farmers. It is what the Farm Bureau and the county assessor have been working for," Mr. Shelley said. It will be recalled that the Farm Bureau protested to the state tax commission on the tax valuation setup set-up in the county, and backed the movement to bring valuations to more equitable figures. The meeting at Provo was the first of a series of meetings to be held by the state commission in the various counties to consider adjustments as between classes of agricultural land. The total value last year of the Utah county lands in which the adjustments ad-justments have now been agreed on was $6,069,273, and the 1940 value will be approximately $300,000 less. Tax Commissioner Harold P. Leath- am pointed out that the latter figure is purely an estimate, and may prove to be either higher or lower when the actual assessments are completed. complet-ed. The adjustments call for a small Increase in only one class of land-grade land-grade A Irrigated land. In this classification class-ification it was agreed to increase the 1939 value of $123.75 an acre to I $125 an acre. The value of grade B irrigated lands will be reduced from $96.50 to $90 an acre; grade C from $57.50 to $50 an acre, and grade D from $22 to $20 an acre. The value of grade A Improved dry farm land will remain at $20 an acre, but grade B will be reduced from $18.50 to $16, grade C from $11 to $8, and grade D from $5 to $3. In grade A meadow land the value val-ue will be retained at $50 an acre, but grade B land will be reduced from $30 to $25 an acre. There will be no change in the value of grade A swamp pasture land, while the value of grade B will be reduced from $20 to $13 an acre. Mr. Leatham said it also had been agreed to make some adjustment in the value of both mountain and desert grazing land, but it has not yet been determined what the net-effect net-effect will be . In desert land there will be decreases and In some mountain moun-tain land there likely will be increases, in-creases, he explained. o LEHI STAKE BANQUET TO BE HELD TOMGIIT The Lehi stake banquet will be held in the stake tabernacle Thursday Thurs-day (tonight) at 7 o'clock.
