The ppurpose of this project to provide an outlet is two fold for the better breeding stock and to improve the livestock of the entire state. Problem 2 deals with the culling of the herds, and provides for a state-wid- e culling program when herds come off the range this fall. A committee has been appointed to locate good breeding stock in herds of local state breeders and neighboring states to secure an adequate supply. The statement on the pro caiue ject indicates that interior like all other inferior farm produce, below far sets the farmer's price the profit line, and below the cost of production. Problem 3 is the development of feed lots. About 35 per cent of Utah cattle are consumed in Utah. When summer ranges close, the best of the cattle go to the feed lots in other state. Profits go with them, and culls are left at home. Club Future Farmer and members have proved the profitable practice of feeding at home. Plans now are to encourage feeding of groups of animals instead of one or two. Such cattle have a ready The profitable developmarket. ment of the feed lot is the answer to the problem of supplying the marketing companies with quality meat. Problem 4 pertains to the securing of better stock for FFA and club members for exhibition in the Junior Livestock shows. Finding animals that will respond to feed and care, is a big problem, and it is a weTl known fact that the costs of feeding a cull animal are much higher than those of a and the profits are not pure-brenearly as large. The fifth problem of the program deals with its launching. Committees have been appointed from the organizations named above, and action will begin immediately to put Utah's cattle industry on a higher plane. H 4-- H d, Announcement Made Of Coming Marriage Anouncement is made by Bishop and Mrs. John S. Nielsen of Mona of the engagement of their daughter, Helen, to Murray Mathis. son of Mr. and Mrs. H. G.

This is a reduction of 0.5 mill from the 1938 levy and continues the downward trend of taxes instituted by city officials several years ago. Comparison of the rates for the last two years, broken down into departmental requirements, is as follows: General and Cont'g Library Redemption of Bonds Payment of Interest Total 1938 1939 Mills 3.5 3.5 5 .5 4.0 1.0 4.0 .5 9.0 8.5 that the reduction effected this year is made possible by the smaller amounts reIt will be noted inquired for payment of accruing deterest on outstanding bonds. A termined effort has been made by recent city administrations to relieve the citizens of this community of their public debt burden and to stop entirely the high interest being paid on money borrowed at a time when interest rates were 2 and 3 times what they are now. That this plan and endeavor has been a success is evidenced by the fact that interest payments for 1939 are considerably under $1,000 This is a considerable saving, as compared to the years not too far back when as much as $4,400.00 in interest has been paid per year on city obligations. City officials also wish to point out that there will be no curtailment of public services now rendered by your city as the levy in other departments has been maintained for the proper support of current activities. There is an increase in valuation of propeprty within Nephi Ctiy from $1,125,800 in 1938 to $1,206,-26- 5 in 1939.

Non-reside- nt PATRIOTISM ON THE INCREASE This country has thrived and has grown great on patriotism. People in foreign lands sometimes say Americans are too proud of their country, while at the same time they envy us our happier lot. It never strikes them that there may be some connection between the United States' high living standards and the price n country of the men who do the nation's work. In any case it is encouraging these days to sense in the air a stronger manifestation of American patriotism than has been apparent for some time. One seems to hear a f request echo of the words of Daniel Webster "Thank am an American!" God, I I also Symptoms of this feeling are being found everywhere: in novels, and in biographies celebrating the high points of our history. In the movies, in stake plays like "Lincoln in Illinois and "The American Way " There is even a song being published called "'That Good Old American Way" and reminding us to: "Ixiok across the sea When you're inclined to be Elue at the luck fate has dealt you. Forget those who scoff For we're so much better off Living our life as we want to." This increase of patriotic feeling is a good and healty sign. It is not solely apparent in movies, In plays and In songs. "These things merely reflect what the public is feeling. And this patriotism, at the present time, seems to say that Americnns have decided that there Is every reason in the world to feel confidence In this country and its future to go forward and accomplish things the way their forefathers did. leaving no time for discouragement or fear.
