The problem is to obtain a large membership. Although the list is awelling daily, cooperation of a majority of producers in the vicinity must be a.uured before anything can be attempted.

Poultry Manure Very ''a )Ua bJe aS F ert1"lizer •' With the heavy increase of poultry In Utah the last few years there is produced many tons of poultry manure. This is a very valuable tertillzer tor farms and gardens. R. W. Donaldson, of the Massachusetts A&rlcultural college, gives some importaat information regarding its value ana use. Poultry manure may be used to' pod advantage as fertllJzing material for vegetable, fruit and general farm crops. In comparison with stable manure, poultry droppings turnlsh not only organic matter In the form of partly dlguted plant tissues similar to the eolld excrement of farm animals, but It Ia relatively richer in nitrogen and phoephoric acid. Ordinarily, fresh dropping& carry from two or three Umea the nitrogen and phosphoric acid, though aomewhat less potash per ton than stable manure. The composition of poultry dropplDga varies considerably, depending upon the method of feeding and upon the manner In which it is handled. Fresh droppings, under ordinary methods of handling, may lost half their nitrogen during six months of atorage. Loss of moisture usually occurs. This drying out may be slight or may amount to a considerable reduction of the original weight depeadtnc upon· the character of the droppings and seasonal humidity. The drier the manure, the more conG,entrated the plant food, particularly • the content of phosphorous and potAOW aah. Although reports of analysts from dltferent stations show poultry maIWJ'e to have varying composition, an approxl.mate estimate of several &nalyala follows: 1.22 per cent nitrogen; .9 per cent phosphoric acid; .4 per cent potash; 1.85 per cent lime (C&O). Assuming that the above compoaltion represents the average dropplngs, lta value as fertilizer would be $5 per ton. A flock of 100 mens make during the nicht about 12 pounds or about U60 pounds per year. Each mornthe following could be scattered over dropplngs per 100 birds: Two pounds of superphosphate (about half a round pointed shovelful), a... pound muriate of potash (2 b&lldtula) and 1 pound Utter (two or . tbree aboveUuls). Auum1llg that at least one-third of the total nitrogen otherwise lost will thua be recovered, the analysis of ele&r dropplnp atter• allowing for 801118 drying would be: 1.88 per cent nltrocen; .9 per cent phosphoric acid; ·' per cent potaah. One ton of treated manure would thus be turnlahed by 1500 pounds of dropplnp, 250 pounds of auperphospbate, 100 pounds of muriate of potull, and 150 pounds of soiled Uttle (absorbent). It would contain: 28.2 pounds of nitrogen; 58.5 pounds phosphoric acid, and 56 pounds of potash, worth approximately $10.

"Kentucky Auction" Makes Hit at Iris An entertainment, both novel and interesting, was afforded theatergoers of Midvale last Wednesday evening when the Iris theater presented Col. Sadler's Kentucky Auction Sale. This sale is of Utah-made products only and purchased can be made only with Kentucky aucition money which is given away by merchants and business houses of Midvale to their customers. Col. E. C. Jenkins, well-known auctioneer of Salt Lake, conducted the sale, and he was kept busy keeping a line on the bids, as they came so fast from competitive bidders. As an example of how some of the Utah-made products sold (in Kenlucky auction money), a 24-pound sack of West Jordan flour, a Midvale product, sold for $70, and a 48-lb sack sold for $60. A 10-cent box of macaroni sold for $22, a sack of Idaho potatoes brought $90, a halfgallon can of Vico motor oil, $60; 10 gallons Pep gasoline, $70; 10-pound sack of West Jordan cereal, $25; three loaves of Electric Home bakery bread sold for $28, and two cakes for $25 each. A five-piece set of sllverware, the prize article of the evening, sold for $110. Colonel Sadler announces that these auctions will be held regularly every week, and nothing but Utah products will be offered-and can only be purchased with Kentucky auction money. Postmaster Expresses Thanks to Patrons Postmaster Carlos Hansen has kindly furnished the Journal with the following article dealing with the handling of the mall in Midvale, and showing a comparison of the gross receipts of the Midvale postottice !or the years 1928 and 1929. .The receipts for 1928 are as follows: Money orders, fees, box rents, etc. --····-··-················$77,876.80 Stamp sales .......................... 5,048.4;; Total .................................... $82,925.23 For 1929: Money orders, fees, box rents, etc. ·············-·············$79,041.18 Stamp sales ·························-· 5,699.51.1 Total ................................. -.$84, 740.71 An increase for 1929 of $1,815.54. .in 11pprec1ation ot the cooperation of the patrons of the office that ha.:l made t.tlis increase possible during the past year, we take this opportunity of thanking you all and at the same time to extend our wishes that 1!130 may be more prosperous. Only by your cooperation was it possible tor us to satisfactorily accomplish those duties, which each or you have entrusted to us and which every member of the postal service is endeavoring to perform and if possible, improve. .l:t'eeling that each and every one of you are desirous of improving th.;, greatest organization ot which you all are part, we feel that by calling your attention to a few common errors, your postal service will be improvect; dispatch and delivery o.r.: mall be made more promptly. Much unnecessary delay 1s caused by incomplete and illegible addresses, l:ly not attixing the proper amount of postage and by not having your return on both letters and parcels. 'rhe loss to you, however, when the figures below are taken into consideration are immense, not to mention the lost time and additional expense to the postal service of carrymg this doubtful mail from one place to another in an untiring endeavor to deliver, if possible, and should impress upon you the necessity of being more careful to see that your mallings are properly addressed, proper postage paid and always bear your .-eturn address. During the year 1929 there was re.:eived at the several dead letter of.tces of the United States, 23,079,619 undeliverable letters, and 482,823 unThe nominal ..teiiverable parcels. value of drafts, money, stamps, checks, etc., was $5,284,299.70. A little more care, a Uttle more pride in addressing, would undoubtedly have resulted in the major portion of this vast bulk of mail being promptly delivered. 'l'o those patrons whose m.ail~s are exceptionally heavy, we wish to extend our special thanks for the careful way they have prepared their mail, thus lending much aid to the expeditious handling of the same. But there is always room tor improvement and only by thoughtful cooperation can improvement be effected. The general public could learn much from any business or corporation relative to preparing letten. and parcels for mailing. Their letters, probably numbering hundreds at a time, are carefully addressed, propel postage affixed, and when five 01 more are for one town or city, they are sorted accordingly, and last but not least, they invariably bear the sender's return address. It has always seemed peculiar to me that a person sending a letter or parcel to one near and dear would txercise less care in addressing the same than a firm knowing their patron only in a business way. No one likes to receive a letter careless or hurriedly scribbled, nor with postage due. Parcels intended to cheer us or bring back memories of a distant friend, do not accomplish their purpose when received a week or so late, dirty, tattered and torn. While the greatest care is always taken by postal employes who handle mail, you can not prepare too securely, you can not exercise too much care and pride in addressing, for in so doing you aid and improve the expeditious handling and delivery of your mail. Oh, yes--and we are wondering if the same artists have so completely decorated their walls at home as they have the walls of the postoffice lobby. Authorities on modern styles, qualified to discuss the questions of colors, materials and contours before leading clubs throughout the country are now being employed by the J. c.

Jordan led at the half, 12 to 11. Tooele presented an .evenly-balanced team, with each player counting from one to three field goals. Butterfield played a rattling good floor game. Tooele sadly missed the services of Rose, who was recently ruled ineligible, having turned 20 years of age. Mlllinkovitch and Del Pappas played the best ball for Tooele. JORDAN G. T. F. P.

In one of the fastest and best played games yet staged in the Cyprus gymnasium, Coach Tommy McMullin's Bingham high school cagers nosed out the Cyprus boys by a score of 43 to 38. Cyprus led, 12 to 11, at the end of the first period. At the halt the teams were deadlocked at 21 all. Bingham spurted in the third period to run up a 5-point lead, the score reading 34 to 29 for the Miners. The Magna boys, who had recently turned back both Jordan and Murray, gave the division leaders a real battle from the first whistle to the final. The Grantsville boys showed lack ot form In basket shooting against the Murray five Friday and lost, 19 to 39. Coach Cranney's boys played a good floor game. Park led the Murray offensive with six field and one foul goals. The visitors led at the end of each period, 10 to 6, 24 to 8 and 33 to 16. Grantsville seems unfortunate this season, as they have not won a game.
