This Is conspicuous where two houses, one with porch boxes properly handled, the other with none at all, are together. - The type and color of porch boxes will depend upon the size and type of porch and color of house trim The color of boxes should mings. always harmonize with the setting, 1. e. the color of the house or house trimmings. Where boxes are desired for porch walls, railings or copings they should be from eight to ten inches deep, six or seven inches wide at the bottom and eight to ten Inches wide at the top, and long enough to fit a particular place. If a porch wall is very long, two boxes are often more satisfactory than one long one In the construction of long porch boxes It is well to place partitions every two or three feet to prevent Arrangements are made for the annual canyon day which will be held Friday.

AN EXCELLENT EXERCISES NEXT DISINFECTANT A.lltO.V K. UJlACkEX, Nonlit Dry IWui Hubatatiou, l'ul Agricultural tttatiuu. d wheat in Juab Valley, the principal crop of the section, promises a yield ot about 90 per cent of normal this season. ComIn acre yield this will allow an average production of near puted ZM bushels on the 15.U00 acres ot the valley provided uo deterioration ot the crop take place between now and harvest. The acre yields on the Levan Uidge, the center of the wheat area, will be somewhat higher than this figure however. The thrifty well tillered wheal plants now completely cover the soil with a carpet of green. ThU resttul colored landscape later to change to golden in promise of a profitable harvest extends from the county line on the north to beyond Chase's ranch on the south, broken only by the intervening fallow land resting for another crop and the towns ot Mona, NepUt, and Levan. These thriving com in unities thrive most when wheat yields are high. In anticipation ot another successful harvest East Juab County is making additions to It's steady conservative progress. The weather extending from September 1, the beginning ot tho sowing season tor winter wheat, to May 1, has not been entirely favorable to wheat growing in this valley. The following table gives the average rainfall for the months September to April, inclusive, together with the rainfall ot this past season, and the departure from the average: THURSDAY; 8:15 LxiH-rlint-i- WhltewuHhing Dry-lan- Average Normal Season 1928-192- 9 Departure 94 1.18 .16 .. .89 1.38 1.13 1.22 1.49 1.38 .59 .84 1.64 9.61 .91 1.44 1.22 .79 lu. 7.59 i:i. from mean .... .78 .34 .75 .79 .34 .31 .05 .16 2.02 in. When the departures from the mean are added it is found that the rainfall as measured at the Nephi Substation was 2.02 inches below normal for the period September 1 to April 30. Temperature, a very Important climatic factor in wheat growing, was 41.2 degrees as an average for the month of April. The normal for the month is 44.4 degrees, thus showing a drop of i.i degrees below the average. In 1922 the average temperature for April was 37 degrees and In 1921 the average waa 41. Outside ot the two years mentioned this has been the coldest April in the last ten years. The unseasonable weather during the past eight months Is directly responsible for the decreased condition of the winter wheat. In fact, it is surprising that the crop is so near normal growth when the unfavorableness of the past months is considered. Intelligent tillage on the part of the farmers of this valley unquestionably has been responsible for partly overcoming the handicap of poor weather conditions. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- State Health Board Outlines Accident Aids In Clean-u- p Prevention Plans The state board of health, taking is the attitude that cleanliness necessary to good health as well as being pleasing to the eye, has taken an active part in clean-u- p campaigns The for the last thirteen years. state board of health aims to function in those communities which are inclined to be backward in the clean up work. L. H. Male, sanitary engineer for the board is actively engaged in the field as organizer tor this work. Rivalry between towns is being fostered and an honor roll will be made up after the campaign Is over. The board urges the following: The objectives of the campaign are the thorough cleaning ana beautification of all ' premises and promotion of public improvements. The clean-u- p should inclule houses, yards, vacant lots, corrals, streets and alleys and the sanitation of all privies. Weeds should be eradicated from streets and private premises. Every effort should be made to render homes more attractive by the painting of houses, removal of un sightly outbuildings, repair and painting of fences, planting of gardens and trees, etc. Water supplies and sewage disposal plans should receive attention. Systematic removal of garbage and manure at public expense Is recommended. At a meeting of the general committee, a plan ot operation should be outlined and publicly announced, with request for active of all citizens. It is recommended that the town shall be divided into districts, each under the direction of a committee charged with the responsibility of carrying out plans agreed upon. Different agencies may be assigned to separate items of the campaign. Rivalry between districts should be promoted and prizes or medals may be offered for best service performed. Special clean up days or weeks are recommended, also parades accompanied when possible by a band. Banners and posters should be displayed. Information as to . where these may be purchased will be furnished upon application to the State Board of Health. Experience has shown that Boy Scouts may be depended upon to render efficient community service, and It Is strongly recommended that1 they be given a prominent part in the campaingn. It is suggested that the scouts of each ward shall make a preliminary survey of existing conditions and report to the Scoutmaster on forms which will be furnished by the State Board of Health, who will in turn file the reports By with the general committee. is recognized by health authorities as an invaluable disinfectant und deodorizer and IU In observance of a statewide cam paigu or automobile accident prevention, which is being sponsored by the Utah State Automobile Associa tlon. Governor George H. Dern issued the following statement: "The number of deaths resulting from automobile accidents in the United States annually is appalling In may instances these fatalities are due to carelessness and could have been avoided bad proper precaution been taken. Too often is human life sacrificed because of the failure or someone to observe the laws of the land and to extend the common courtsies of the road by granting the y to the driver who right fully has It. "Recognition of the fact that greater care should be exercised at all times and in all places, the Utah Association State Automobile has planned a safety campaign for the weeki of May 20 to 27. I desire to encourage this project and to em phasize it as being a most worthy endeavor. The week set apart for that purpose should be recognized and faithfully observed by all. I suggest, therefore, that city and county authorities take the lead in this movement, and I urge the citi zens of Utah to cooperate during that period and! at all other times to further the cause of safety and thus to contribute to the preservation of human life." extensive use recommended as heap and effective method of mak ing the home, outbuildings and surroundings more attractive and sanitary.

The visitors succeeded in getting 11 hits off Boswell and Christison, while Nephi garnered 15 hits off the visit ing pitchers. Outside of the sixth inning, the game was well played for the opening game of the season, and after a little practice, both teams, no doubt, will play a better brand of baseball.
