Midvale, Utah, Thursday, February 13, 1930 -----------------------------------------------------Half of Basketball THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH WE LIVE By HARRY GRASS President Midvale Poultry· Association • It has been said, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." What does this have to do with our community? Just this. If there are conditions in our community we do not like, we either help to create their conditions or sanction them by our silence, and some of us are eternally knocking our home town and criticising the efforts of others. Do you realize that when we knock our community, we knock ourselves? The community does not make us-we make the community. To criticise our work is to criticise ourselves. It is said, "Judge a man by the community in which he lives." It would be better to say, judge the community by the people who live in it. If we do not think enough of our community to say a good word for it, why not move somewhere where we are satisfied and be an asset to some community somewhere instead of a handicap to the progressive growth of a community we dislike. Is it fair to enjoy the advantages of good roads, paved streets, lights and innumerable other benefits which a few loyal citizens worked for and obtained, and do nothing but sit back and knock. If the general order of things does not suit, can we expect anything else if we do not take an active part in making things the way we do want them? Let's boost, not knock. Condition we know are right, foster and improve on them. Conditions we do not like, get busy and change them. We is plural, meaning more than one. If, personally, there are certain things you do not like, are you fair in asking for something unless it is for the mutual benefit of a majority of our community. A short time ago a noted artist from one of our neighboring states gave a short talk over the radio, supposed to have been confined to things nice about Salt Lake City and Utah. In conclusion she said, "The state I come from is a wonderful state. Of course, over the radio at this time, I am not allowed to advertise California." How wonderful it would be if we could get a little of this spirit injected into our systems. Anything started in our community is a benefit. Foster and help put it over. Give it mental, physical and financial support. Watch it and see that it will be a benefit to the community. Don't think it is good. Know it is a benefit, be converted to it, and boost for it. The writer has in mind the present enthusiasm regarding chickens. There seems to be unlimited possibilities in this field. But what happens when people become enthusiastic about certain things, especially when we feel there is a good profit connected with it? We borrow money, stretch our credtt to take advantage of this opportunity. Which is all weli and good, so long as the anticipated profit materializes. No one questions but what there will be a good profit if hens are properly housed, fed, and cared for. Therein lies the responsibility. Are we helping to creat prosperity unless we follow an industry through to the receiving of a profit by the producer. Prosperity means profit.

Last Friday night brought the first half of the Jordan division basketball schedule to a close. Bingham, although defeated in a thrilling extra period game by Murray, is still in undisputed possession of first place, a:.; Jordan, the nearest contender, fell victim to Cyprus in the night's play. Tooele had little trouble with Grantsville in the other game, which was one of two contests played annually between these two rivals. In order to end the season in ample time for the state tournament, the Jordan district played games Tuesday night. The first, Tuesday, saw Cyprus and Murray in a battle for survival in the pennant race at Murray. An apparently rejuvenated team enabled Cyprus to triumph over Murray to the tune of 37 to :!.7. The first half featured clever passing and shooting on the part of both team:; but the last half was more raggeo and many shots were missed. 'l'hi~ victory ties Cyprus with Jordan for second place. Bingham was host to Tooele Tuesday. After suffering an upset las. Friday at Murray's hands, Coach Tommy McMullen's Miners trouncell •rooele, 38 to 28, in a close and thrilling game. The game was toucn and go, all the way with the scor..! 6 all at quarter time, 12 to 10 fo!· Tooele at the half, and 21 to 20 for Bingham at the third quarter. Last Fnday the Cyprus hoopster:; came out of the cellar to upset the Jor·dan boys and put three teams, Murray, Jordan and Cyprus, in u. deadlock for second place. Murray downed Bingham to enter the tie. The Cyprus boys literally showered the Beetdiggers under a barrage on the basket in the first half and held them to a lone field goal. Cyprus led at the quarter 8-2, and at the half 14-2. Jordan seemed to come out of its trance in the second half and outscored the Cyprus team. The score at the end of the third quarter was 23-13 for Cyprus, and 29-19 for the home team at the end of the game. Taking their spite out on Grantsville for their humiliating defeat at the hands of Cyprus last week, Jordan Beetdiggers trounced Coach Cranney's crew, 49 to 17, Tuesday night. The first- period, which ended 8 to 7, was the only one which saw any competition as the Beetdiggers quickly pulled away. Larsen, Lunnen and Mathews all played good games. Friday, the Bingham Miners will travel to Cyprus to play the feature, while Jordan encounters Tooele al Tooele, and Murray receives Grants· ville at Murray. In all probability Bingham will be the winner of the coming game with Cyprus, but should Cyprus win, it" will place them in a tie with Bingham for first place in the division standing, and should Jordan defeal Tooele in Friday's game it will place Bingham, Cyprus and Jordan in a three-cornered tie for first place honors. Murray meets Grantsville in their next game and it is conceded they will be the winners in this encounter, and will place Murray, Jordan and Cyprus in a tie for second place again if the latter teams lose their games tomorrow night. LIFE" IS THEl\-lE CONVENTION OF Beginning at nine o'clock next Friday morning, February 14, the parents of the Jordan district will meet \vith the teachers of the senior high school in their annual convention. Mr. W. J. Leak of West Jordan, president of the organization, Principal L. W. Nielsen of the high school, and principals of the various district schools have planned a program concerning education for the day. Prominent educators will be in attendance to discuss vital problems with the parents and teachers. Dr. Joseph Merrill will discuss "Character Education''. Mr. Coucher a representative of the National Humane Society of America, will tell of various phases of his work. Mrs. Dorothy Nyswander of the Psychological Department of the University of Utah will discuss "Child Psychology". Dr. Paul Richards wil handle the subject of "Health in Jordan District". Mr. Epperson and Mr. Boyden have also arranged for various orchestras and choruses to be present to entertain the parents. As bas been the custom in the past years, senior high school pupils will remain at home next Friday. The busses will run over their regular routes in the morning and evening, however, to bring the parents to school and to take them home. Luncheon will be served at cost in the cafeteria during the noon hour. Since only the one day bas been set apart for the convention this year, it is expected that there will be a record-breaking gathering of parents attending the Friday sessions. - LOCAL OWNERSHIP HONOR ROLL PENNEY FEATURE MADE PUBLIC Those Beet Fields With Disappointing Yields I Why Phosphate Deficiency Is Serious By ASA C. MAXSON Farmers know that a lack of any essential element of fertility in a soil hurts crop growth. They see the results in low yields; perhaps it costs them an actual loss in money. Why does a severe lack of phosphorus hurt the beet crop! Farmer11 should understand this, too. Roughly, plants are made up of cells which, in turn, consist of the nucleus, the surrounding propoplasm, and the retaining walls. Nitrogen forms an important part of the cellular walls in which prosphorus is not present. Phosphorus is in the protoplasm and especially in the uncleus of the cell-the living part of the cell. Plants increase in size because existing cells become larger-growand because new cells are formed by cell division. Nitrogen is important in cell growth. New cells are only produced when a sufifcient available phosphate is present in the soil. Therefore, a plant in a soil lacking phosphorus is being starved in that element which interferes with the division of its cells and growth. Also, the nitrogen intake of a plant in such a soil is reduced because in the presence of a phosphorus shortage there is a reduction in the plant's ability to take up nitrogen. A nitrogen shortage in a soil tends to reduce tonnage and to increase sugar per cent, but lowers total sugar. But a phosphorus shortage decreases both tonnage and sugar content.

Last year, approximately a million cross ties, used in the Rio Grande roadbed, were treated at this plant, and the same number are expected to be handled at Salida this year for track work. The program calls for $165,000 worth of creosote and $31,500 worth of wood preserving oil to be used in the treating preparation. The creosote, which forms 60 percent of this mixture, is obtained at Provo, Utah, as a by-product of the Columbia steel plant there.
