Their first customer consisted of Sewell's Market, then located where the Quality Market now stands. This fresh, clean Jersey milk was milked at the Clair Gardner farm south-west of town, and put into clean glass bottles for delivery to the stores. It was only a matter of time until the demand for this Jersey milk delivered from door to door, found the Gardners with a house-to house delivery business. The Dairy was operated from the farm, the cows all being owned and milked and the milk bottled at the farm milk-house and delivered de-livered in town. At first the milk was bottled from a separator bowl and the caps put in place by hand. Then it was discovered that a dollar dol-lar was the same size as a cap and used to press the caps in place. Later a hand-capper was purchased JayCccs Sponsor Trip to Hawaii The Delta Jaycees are sponsor ing an all-expense paid trip to the Hawaiian Islands in cooperation with the Utah Junior Chamber of Commerce.

Check Your Alialfa Fields For Meadow Mice Damage Millard County Is infested with large populations of Meadow or Field mice in alfalfa fields where conditions are favorable. They are more numerous in fields with plenty of plant cover, alfalfa chaff, weeds, etc., than they are on clean fields. Wherever alfalfa occurs it is the principal mouse food. The search for underground roots, plus the need to work under cover forces the mouse to burrow extensively in search for food. In a dormant alfalfa al-falfa field 1,000 Meadow mice will consume an estimated 70 pounds of roots per day. Since the root is rarely entirely consumed, this poundage would represent much greater damage to the stand. In cage feeding tests it was found that Meadow mice consumed an average of 92 of the animal's body weight of alfalfa per day. The Millard County Farm Bureau is sponsoring a poison grain ball ing program by supplying the poison poi-son at cost to the farmers.
