President Harry Grass reported that an option had been secured on a tract of ground and that plans were practically completed for the pl'Oposed egg candling plant which the association has had under consideration for some time; however, there are a few minor details which must be ironed out before definite announcement of the plant can be made. George M. Turpin was the guest speaker of the evenmg, and gave quite an instructive talk to the poultrymen on feeding problems and care of the hens to keep them in production. It was brought out in those who have been feeding red wheat have bad just as good results as in feeding white, or spring wheat. As there is a large qEantity of red wheat raised each year on the (hy farms west of Midvale, and as the major portion of the white wheat being fed has to be shipped in, a number of the poultrymen decided to secure their winter's wheat from the farmers to the west, thereby not only helping their neighbors in the disposal of their surplus products, but making a substantial saving in costs of their feeds, as the local wheat can be purchased at a price that will well repay the poultrymen to put up granaries in which to store the grain. The next regular meeting of the association will be held the second Monday in August. Poultrymen who are not members of the association are invited to these meetings each month. PENNEY SALES UP 4.06 PERCENT FOR SIX MONTHS Cumulative gross sales of the J. C. Penney company for the six: months ending June 30, 1930, were $86,459,119.63 compared with cumulative gross sales for the same period of last year of $83,086,233.72, showing a gain for the first half year period of $3,372,886.11, equivalent to 4.06 per · cent. Gross sales for the month ending June 30 were $15,828,201.94 as compared with gross sales for the same period of last year of $17,104,336.09, showing a loss of $1,276,134.15, equivalent to 7.46 per cent. Total stores reporting for the first six months of this year were 1435 compared with 1215 reporting for the same period of last year. Commenting on the comparative sales volumes for June of this year as contrasted with the same month of last year, Earl C. Sams, president, said, 'Extensive price readjustments were made on June 20th affecting many of our heaviest selling lines v.ith reductions amounting in some instances to as high as 30 per cent. "These readjustments were made to parallel in our retail prices the savings made possible to our purchasing departments in replacement orders through readjustments in commodity prices among manufacturers. "It is natural that the first reflection of the price changes should come in gross sales for the month. "During a trip recently made by J. C. Penney, covering eight leading states in the south and southwest, and on wllich he contacted with several hundred store managers, he found general condiitons on the upward trend with nearly all stores reporting an increase in unit sales of merchandise." In a game conspicous with errors the Midvale American Legion Junior baseball team defeated Draper here Tuesday evening, 13 to 10. Apparently the local boys saved this game to a make a flood of errors of commission and omission, as no less than twelve misplays on defense, with at least four glaring cases of slumbering while on the bases was dished up to the crowd of interested spectators. D. Day started by reaching first on an error in left field. Rasmussen hit one at short that was made to measure for a double play, but Donoskovich let it roll through his legs. After Yasakochi struck out Mitchell scored Day with one to left that F. Stepan muffed, his second in the inning. John Day soored Rasmussen with a sacrifice to O'Brien who replaced F. Stepan in left. Bob forgot there was a man on third, as it was a short fly and no play was made to head the run off, which easily could have been done. Midvale went one better in their half of the first, when Landers wallced, went to second on O'Brien's sacrifice, and scored on a single by Dunoskovich. Poulson walked, Robis advaD£ed both with a neat sacrifice, and both came in on Canning's single. Draper made one in each of the second, third, fourth and fifth innings, and errors made it possible for each score during that time. To start the sixth, H. Day singled, was thrown out by 15 feet while trying to steal second, but R. Stepan dropped the ball. He scored on Humphries' double. Sorenson lived on an error in center field. V/ith men on first and second, the locals had a golden opportunity for a triple play when D. Day lined one to Dunoskovich. Johnny caught the ball, stepped on second, and had ample time to catch the runner at first, but threw the ball out of the lot. Bob O'Brien went in 'to pitch in the eighth, wall{ed the first two batters, struck out the next, and the fourth sent a single to center. Canning threw the ball out of the lot, after Those bo~h men were safe on b::tses. two runs mR.de Draper 10, and ended their scorin;;, !l'< Johnny Mutch "'"nt in to pitch, ,v;th the bases full :>.!lcl two out in the ftinth. He succec''~c' in striking out D. Day to retire the side. Midvale made three in the second. Schmiett and Zagarich walked, Landers and O'Bzicn struck out, Johnny Dunoskovich sent a long triple to left, scorin~; two, and Poulson score(l Johnny with n single. Another wa :o added in the t hird when Rudy Stepan lived on an error at third and came all the way in when H. Day, the catcher, threw into right field trying to catch Rudy at first. Midvale failed to score in the next four innings. though a golden opportunity wa<> passed up in the seventh when two walks and three hits failed to produce a run, due to brief relapses in slurnberland. Three were added in the eighth when R. Stepan singled, followed by a double by Scbmiett. After Landers struck out, O'Brien scored Stepan \vith a single, and Dunoskovich sent both home with a neat hit to left center, his third hit in as many times up during the game. That tied the count at 10 all. Robis started the ninth with a single, Canning walked, and both came in on Rudy Stepan's triple to center. During the excitement, Rudy came on in, making the score 13 to 10 with none out. Midvale plays Riverton here next Friday at 5:30. This will be the last horne game of the schedule.
