OFFICIAL CITES FARM BENEFITS OF '40 PROGRAM Page Three Graduating Class of Midvale Junior High School--1940 The AAA farm plan sign-up for 1940, recently completed in Salt , Lake county, indicates that more small farmers are participating in the AAA farm program this year and are carrying out needed . . conservation practices to a larger ' extent than ever before, says James H. Jensen, chairman of the county AAA committee. One of the chief provjsions for small farmers in the 1940 farm program is one which makes it possible for any farmer to earn at least $20 for complying with special crop acreage allotments and for carrying out soil-building practices, explained Mr. Jensen. If the amount the farmer may earn for complying with special crop acreage allotments is com- 1 puted at less than $20, the farmer may earn the difference between that amount and the $20 payment by carrying out approved soilbuilding practices. Approximately 200 farmers are affected by the $20 minimum payment in Salt Lake county, estimates Mr. Jensen. "Such conservation measures are needed to protect the soil on these farms, on many of which iarmers would otherwise be unable to put them into use," pointed out Mr. Jensen. "They are an important aid to farmers in working out longtime soil-improvement and crop-rotation practices."

'Queen' Wanted For lhe "Covered Wagon Days" SALT LAKE CITY-Somewhere in Utah there is a beautiful, shapely, graceful and intelligent Utahborn girl of 18 years of age or over for whom fame, acclaim, honor and thrills await. She may hail from any section of the state. She is the girl who will be selected 1940 "queen" of Covered Wagon days. The annual search is open to all Utah. The only requirements are that the girl be Utah born, eighteen years of age on or before July 1, 1940, and that she be unmarried both at the present and in the past. Good moral character is a requisite. The 4ueen, according to Cha:rman B. A. Reynolds, will be selected upon such qualiflcations as beauty, grace, intelligence, poise, pioneer background, and to a lesser extent upon ability to ride. With her will be selected two aides. The queen and her aides will be brought to Salt Lake City for the Covered Wagon days celebration July 19 to 24, will be crowned by Governor Henry H. Blood, will preside over the annual rodeo, the Pioneer parade and other events of the celebration, with, of course, all expenses paid.

I • Utah, where modem irrigation was first introduced to North America in 1847, is equally renowned for development of its mineral resources. Copper, sllver, and gold are a triumvirate responsible in little over haH a century for production of new wealth totaling more than $1,750.000.000. The Rio Grande, first to extend rails to Bingham Canyon. site of the world's largest open pit copper mine. and first to reach the fabulous silver mines of the Tintic and Park City districts, thru the years has provided vital transportation service. The Rio Grande is proud of Utah's progress; is proud of the fact that Rio Grande territory produces 95 per cent of Utah's total mineral output. Rio Grande •.s modern railroad plant is geared to exacting demands of Utah progress. For information concerrung rates, schedules, fares: C. F.

H. Humpherys asked inj vestigations of large scale grazing of goats and pigs on the watershed above Herriman. The condition was brought to the attention of the state engineer by local residents of the town, when an investigation of a former small reservoir was made by him. The water shed above the reservoir site is completely denuded, Mr. Humpherys said, creating a silt condition which renders the reservoir of no worth, and is a menace to the health of the community. In addressing a letter to Adjutant General W. G. Williams of the UJ).ited States army, Mr. Humpherys expressed the belief the animals were grazing on some part of the military reserve area, and asked cooperation in doing away with the nuisance. "The people of Herriman need assistance by way of supplemental · water," the letter states. "They have a site on which a dam could be built, but grazing of these animals renders construction of a reservoir unfeasible by reason of silt." An investigation of conditions was requested in a letter to the state board of health. GEM JEWELRY SHOP The Buy of the Year! A STANDARD 6 cu. fl.
