"Contracting, which started last Friday, indicates a definite increase in acreage both on the part of old growers and in the number of new growers who are signing up," said W. J. O'Bryant, district manager for Utah-Idaho Sugar Company. "Labor prospects are brighter than they have been since the war began, provided individual farmers join the Utah County farm labor association and make definite applications for their season's labor needs," said Ed A Thomas, president of the Central Utah Beet Growers Association and a director of the county farm labor association. Lee R. Taylor, Utah County Farm Labor supervisor for the extension service, warns that although al-though tentative allocation of Mexican nationals and prisoners of war are very satisfactory, final fin-al allotments will depend upon the number of applications from individual farmers for these workers and the number of acres of high priority crops, such as sugar beets, that are signed up for in the near future. Tentative allotments call for a camp of 200 Mexican nationals at Spanish Fork and 200 additional on an individual seasonal farm placement place-ment basis throughout the coun ty. "Four hundred prisoners of war in a camp to be locatel in Orem are already assured," said Mr. Taylor, "provided farmers can establish the need and make definite applications at an early date. All allocations of Imported Import-ed workers depend on the full utilization of student labor and other local workers," , said Mr. Taylor. The extension service, under the direction of S. R. Boswell, Provo, County extension agent, is lending all possible assistance to beet growers in their plans for securing workers for both spring and fall work. Mr. Boswell states that certification for all needed Mexican and prisoner labor has been made to War Food Administration Admin-istration and the Army, "In -my Judgment," said Mr. Boswell, "among the Mexican nationals who will be assigned to this area will undoubtedly be found many who have had previous prev-ious farm experience. This Is the third year we have been bringing in Mexicans for farm work. Some of the workers we will get this year have already had one or two years experience; among them will be found quite a few who have become handy with machinery and who will be able to do other skilled work. Even some of the inexperienced, but more intelligent workers, can be quickly taught to drive tractors and trucks, irrigate, pitch hay, and help harvest grain crops and do other skilled Jobs." This, year, the state extension service is preparing a hand book which will contain some of the common words and expressions printed in both Spanish and English to aid farmers in directing direct-ing Mexican workers in the absence ab-sence of a translator. Mr. O'Bryant, in a letter sent to all farmers of the district this week, explains that it is important import-ant for beet growers to sign up for acreage early in order that the sugar company can know how many acres will be planted and take an active part in meeting meet-ing labor needs. "We must also know growers' requirements for phosphate and the new segment ed seed," said Mr. O Bryant. Beet growers are instructed to apply ! at the Spanish Fork office and ' the sugar company for contracts or for seet or phosphate, or see their fieldman. "Applications for labor," said Mr. O'Bryant, "should be made through Lee R Taylor at the county agent's office in Provo." By William T. Ingleheart The twenty-sixth Legislature broke up Monday night in rather rath-er a haze of mutually exchanged uncomplimentary remarks between be-tween the Governor and the Senate over the administration of the state liquor control com mission. That particular subject took the public limelight for the last week and prolonged the session into five "sixtieth" days, the sixtieth being the legal termination. But meanwhile the boys and girls had dumped a $27,777,000 appropriation on top of the taxpayers, tax-payers, reviving the general property tax levies, grabbing a bond reserve fund of $300,000 and giving the general fund an estimated esti-mated $3,000,000 above a legislated legis-lated ceiling on public welfare funds; all to meet the "Santa Claus" spirit of the appropriations. appropria-tions. They furthermore accomplished accomplish-ed these worthy purposes without with-out doing anything in particular to meet the anticipated post war employment and construction problems. Democrats will be arguing for quite a spell as to whom came out first in the liquor controversy, controver-sy, the Governor or the Senate. The latter turned down a re appointment for James C. Allen (R) whose term is expiring, but the former refused to acceed to the senate demand that he fire the other two members. The Re publicans will just go on saying as they are now, that both to engage in ments in lump sums, by detailing their allotment to specific purposes. pur-poses. 4 Agriculture didn't fare so well. Although they got a new dairy division In the state department, the other bills passed for the specific benefit of farmers and stockgrowers didn't amount to much. Bulls on the public domain do-main were limited and Grand county got a peach mosaic control con-trol appropriation. Other bills were like those. - State, county and municipal employees received more than usual consideration. The boys on the hill decided since the taxpayers tax-payers last fall voted them an Increase in pay through the adoption of a constitutional amendment they could hardly do less than give their hard pressed fellow employees of the public certain Increases. They also attempted to get under way a move to have public employees brought under the provisions of the federal social security act amendments now pending In Congress. The general welfare program (as represented by the Welfare Commission and county agencies) came in for somewhat less attention at-tention than in the last few sessions, ses-sions, but recipients of old age assistance had made legal the $40. a month ceiling they have been receiving under gubernatorial guberna-torial edict;' efforts to release the counties from their 15 per cent share in the program's cost, failed; old folks were permitted agricultural pur- LOCAL WOMAN'S MOTHER DIES ! Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Hansen i Wootton, 58, died at her home In American Fork Friday, following a lingering illness. She was the mother of Mrs. Noye Christof fer-son fer-son of this city. Funeral services were held in American Fork Wednesday, under the direction of Bishop Steward A. Durrant of the Fourth ward. Democratic factions lost. Only the voters can eventually tell. The evidence compiled is being sent to the Salt Lake County and third district court attorneys for possible grand Jury action. So what? The legislature did re-flnance on,, still u temporary basis that promises pretty well, the state school system. In so doing they permit city, county and district boards of education to lift their levies for school purposes in varying degrees and gave the system a general fund approp riation of $4,622,000 with pro vision that the districts will have suits "to relieve the labor shortage", short-age", without loss of their grants. Sportsmen did win a point or two but by failure of their various var-ious organizations to get together togeth-er on a uniform and adequately prepared program, they missed any real accomplishment.

The Governor had trouble with the Joint appropriations committee com-mittee which took away from him his contingent fund and gave $500,000 to the state board which is probably all right. The State Publicity and Industrial In-dustrial Development Commission Commis-sion will go on doing business at the same old stand despite the violent if not valiant efforts to kill It in the senate because of some personal animosities against its personnel.

This was the outstanding instance of opposing forces getting together on legis lation for the general benefit. The representatives of the 'people have had their biennial opportunities to make laws. They've made a lot of them. They got mad at one another. They got mad at the Governor and his administrators of state departments. They got mad at the lobbyists striving for special advantages. But they did also accomplish many things that will benefit all the people of the ; state. Greatest criticism of their ! failures would probably be directed di-rected at their neglect of post war problems. But the war situation sit-uation isn't right now clear enough to tell what really is best to do. A special session can be called on the morning after that great day of peace.
