The Twenty-Millionth Ford car, symbolic of one man's contribution to world history and the development of American industry, will visit lUverton, enroute from Detroit on a transcontinental tour, on September 3 at noon, 1t has been announced by Gwynne Ford left the Ford .Motor company's A.aembled in the presence of Henry and Edsel Ford, the Twenty-Millionth Ford left the Ford o.Mtor company's plant in Dearborn, .Mich., on April 14. Following the brief ceremonies at the final asaembly line, and with Henry Ford at the wheel, the car was driven to .Mr. Ford's home several miles away where its meeting with the first li'ord produced In 18g3, was recorded for tuture generations in motion pictures. WW Stay 90 Minute& The Twenty-Millionth Ford will be met at the north city limits and escorted to the Riverton .Motor company, where it will be placed on exhibition for 90 minutes before resuming its tour. Dinner will be served the members of the carvan by the Riverton First ward Relief society. Its tour of the country completed, the Twenty-.Millionth Ford will be returned to Greenfield Village for preservation near the first Ford-the "Gasoline Buggy" in which Henry Ford astounded through Detroit's cobbled streets at the dizzy speed of nearly 20 miles an hour. Old Car Is Oddity The first Ford-built in 1893 and one of the first three automobiles the world baa ever seen-odd, indeed, by comparison with its 1931 descendant, was mounted on bicycle wheels and its wheezing little two cylinder boasted four horsepower Its gasoline tank held all of three gallons and its uncomfortable seat accommodated two people. In order to drive it, .Mr. Ford was given verbal permit by the mayor, thus becom~. it would seem, the world's first licensed chauffeur. Such was the precursor of the long line of Fords that have since revolutionized the automotive industry, made the automobile a commonplace within the reach of almost every family and tremendously aided the development of good roads systems. In December, 1915,• more than 1,000,000 Fords had been produced. Thereafter as a result of Ford manufacturing methods and processes now recognized as standards of efficiency and economy for industry the world over, the total production reached 2 000 000 in June, 1917; 5,000,000 in May,' 1921; 10,000,000 in June, 1924; and 15,000,000 in .May, 1927. a Midvale Beats Mail Delivery S· Le Clowns To Start llto3 Nov.l By SAM PEDRO .Midvale defeated the Flying Clowns here last Sunday, to the tune of 11 to 3. The game was well played, but the stubborn Clowns were no match for the strong .Midvale nine.· LaComb showed up well. He caught a good game and hlt a triple and a double in three trips to the plate. · .Midvale will play South Jordan on the .Midvale grounds next Sunday. Considerable regret was expressed over the fact that although there was a good crowd present there was only 49 cents collected. It cost the club upward of $7 to stage the game.

IHIGHWAY WIDENING PROGRESSING FAST PART IN PLANS FOR STATE FAIR Contractors Expect End Reward Offered of Congestion in For Vandals Who Exposition to Show Art Month. Destroy Lights of Younger Work on the widening of State It has been report,ed to The Farmers. street !rom Midvale Junction north to The Utah State Fair, with its many exhibits, its many diversions and educational features is, above all, the great annual exhibition center for the organizations in which are centered the hope for the future of tll.is state and the nation- the 4-H clubs, the Future Farmers of America and students of the Industrial Arts and Farm Mechanics. In short, the oncoming generation of industrial and home economics leaders have, in the state fair, their finest opportunity to show what they have accomplished during the year. Already, throughout America, the work of these organizations of young folk is recognized and hailed with enthusiasm. At the Utah State Fair, since the exhibits of the 4-H clubs, the Future t<'armers of America and Industrial and Farm Mechanics students have been given prominence, no one feature of the state show has come in for more widespread commendation. It is safe to say that these exhibits attract more favorable and serious attention from the average visitor to the fair han any others. Cash Prizfls Offered Cash prizes in worthwhile amounts have been offered by the State Fair •ssoclation for the 1931 exhibits in the ·unior department. It is strongly ur~:"ed by the fair officials that every effort be made in all localities to send a representative exhibit for this department-to make the competition 'lvelv and to bring honor to the communities in which this work is being ~tressed. Time was, when all the serious work of the world was centered in the efforts of adults, that state and county fairs were just places for diversion for the young folk, wb.o had little or no part in the activities and were not I'Lt all responsible for the success of ~he enterprise. They came, gaped in !lWe at the big .... ,tmpkins, the prize livestock and were hustled out of the way to ride on the merry-go-rounds, o:-at po~rn and drink red lemonade. Things ave changed, and m~ern f!llrs are as much an exposition for and by young people as their elders. Youth Recognized The Utah State Fair of 19 31 will be an ample demonstration of this fact. Not only are the exhibits. for young prommence than people give n greater · ever-in the 4-H, Future Farmers, Industrial and Farm Mechanics sections 11.nd public schools and college exhi bits-but the entertainment features h" b d furnishing good are of a ~~ gra e, • clean dlverston for everyone.

Everv week day morning in the year, millions of radio listeners ne\i ht in "Captain Dobbsie's" entert. ~ t During . five days of the Jtah e~~te Fair, which opens October 3 and continues until October 10, "Captain Dobbsie" and sixteen entertalners will appear in person at the fair grounds afternoon and evening. Many other high class entertainmenta have been provided and the usual fun and frolic of the "midway" attractions will add greatly to the enjoyment of all visitors . As usual, the opening days of the fair will coincide with the fail (!"eneral conference of the L. D. S. church. Lark Man Complains of Cutting Live Trees A complaint has been made by George Reynolds of Lark to the county commission stating that a large number of young live trees are being cut down in Butterfield canyon, ostensibly for fuel, and asks that steps be taken to stop the practice. He adds that there is ample dry and dead wood in the canyon to supply the needs of a nearby scout camp and other campers, and requests an investigation. Sugar Beet Tops Contain Fat Value, Tests Reveal By E. J. MAYNARD Utah State Agricultural Collep Sugar beet tops properly cured have a definite fattening value according to feeding tests conducted at several agricultural experiment stations. At the Scottsbluff experiment station in western Nebraska, lambs fattened on grain and alfalfa gained 30.2 pounds while lambs fattened on grain, alfalfa and cured beet tops gained 34.8 pounds in the same length of time. In these experimenta the tops from 16 tons of beets or, in other words, an acre of beet tops, replaced a ton of alfalfa hay and •91 pounds of grain. With alfalfa at $10 per ton and grain at 80 cents per cwt., the tops from au acre of beets had a feed replacement value equal to $13.92. When it is planned to pasture tops in the field they may be cured properly by gathering them in small piles in the field. This practice protects them from being trampled into the ground and makes them available In case of a light covering of snow. In cue it is deeired to fall plow the beet land, the tops abould be lt&cked near Journal that taxpayers are called the city limits of Murray and north upon to expend a goodly sum each from Murray to Twenty-first South )'<!ar to replace street lights which street, is progressing rapidly, and, deare wantonly broken by vandals l spite the congestion incident to the throughout the Jordan district.

Shorter Season For Duck Shooting Looms The request of President Hoover to curtail the season for duck shooting will be complied with in U~h this year according to Commtssioner New~ll B. Cook. The season for 1931 in Utah will start October 1 and end October 31. Although Commissioner Cook at first stated that compliance with the president's request would protect ducks for the benefit of California hunters, he agreed that Utahns would aid in preserving wild fowl where no discrimination was made. Utab Fruit Must Be Washed Before Going to Market In a statement recently issued by Harden Bennion, state commissioner of agriculture, it is stressed that Utah fruitgrowers must cleanse their product of arsenical spray before marketing the fruit. Mere wiping, the statement continues, will not be sufficient this year and that washing must be done. Severe losses in past years, ~r. Bennion says, have been suffered by Utah farmers whose produce has been seized by federal authorities, and to the end of lessening this loss the statement bas been emphasized. The state department of agriculture will, upon application, furnish detailed information as to the washing equipment necessary to comply with the government ruling. |
