Road Show CO-OPERATIVE Hear Operation Plans, Study Methods And Enjoy Luncheon "last Saturday, March 8th, a select- - group of representative valley lirymen. 25 in number, took a trip to Ogden to look through the Weber Central dairy plant, returning home by 5 o'clock. A dairy lunch was served at the plant and J. R. Beus explained in detail the history and workings of their cooperative dairy set up. A good time was enjoyed by all and many "were impressed with the well managed "plant and the remarkable success they have attained through the production of a superior product, all the way along the line from the cow to the finished product of the factory. The Weber Central Dairy plant at Ogden is a good example of a farmer owned institution. Last year its volume of business increased 48 per cent and is now manufacturing 75,000 lbs. of whole milk into dry milk, sweet cream butter and retail milk, for the city of Ogden. The purpose of the meeting, Saturday was to work out an understanding between the dairymen- here and "the Weber Central Association at Ogden. It was developed in the course of the meeting that it would be well for the dairymen here to send their milk to the Weber Central until such "time as the volume justified building a plant at Tremonton to take care of the milk here. It was also pointed out that an estimate of the volume could not be accurately ascertained c Jgntil the local dairymen were all up in. their own local organization. "The management of the Weber Central recommended that the local dairymen who are delivering to Weber Central need not sign their contract Tut should speedily sign up with their local organization, and as long as they could be of any service to this infant organization they were willing to grant that service freely. - sign-rRjf- Wheat Growers Hear Plans On Co-operati- day forenoon and listened to the plans formulated for the forming of a local unit in the regional district of the National Grain Growers, Inc., for cooperative marketing of wheat grown in Blue Creek, Hansel, White's and Pocatello Valleys. The meeting was presided over by A. M. Reeder, president of the South Box Elder Farm bureau, who acted as temporary chairman, later turning the gavel over to Walter J. Glenn of the South Box Elder Farm bureau, under the auspices of which the meeting was called. Two reginal directors were present, W. H. Barrett, general manager, and A. R. Capener, and W. M. Bickmore, a member of the regional. The latter was was the first speaker, and outlined the purpose of the national organization for marketing the wheat and the benefits which would accure to the growers by becoming members of the local unit. He was followed by General Manasrer W. H. Barrett, who talked in detail regarding the operations of the national organizations and outlined the steps necessary for the formation of a local unit Contracts were handed out to those present and explained.

The Federal Farm Board's activities in extending aid to the dairy industry have been primarily directed toward the strengthening of existing cooperative associations. Practically all of "the large cooperative organizations are federated into a national association known as the National Milk Producers' Federation. This organization is a clearing house for ideas of the cooperative manufacturing or selling various dairy products. Many years ago cooperative facture and sale of butter, milk, and cream became well established by dairymen. This is particularly true of the local associations. Recently the Federal Farm Board "has been instrumental in assisting the National Cheese Producers' Federation in reorganizing its business activities .

LEAK Edith Jensen, One Of 63 Others, Awarded $25 For Best Acre Beets Edith Jensen, of Thatcher, one of a number of 63 others, who competed o for a cash prize offered by the Sugar Company. This prize was offered to the contestant, who grew the largest tonnage of beets on one acre of land in the Box Llder County during the season of 1929. Miss Jen sen was awarded (25.00 for producing 26.99 tons of beets on her ona acre. The land was fall plowed to a depth of 9 inches, after 12 tons of barn yard manure had been applied. Miss Jensen interposes "There were no cattle permitted to trample on this ..acre after the plowing was done. When spring came a light dressing of about 4 tons of manure was applied. On April 5th seed bed was prepared by harrowing twice, floating twice, and then harrowing crosswise to the planting and 17 lb. of seed was planted at a depth of about 1 inch, and well pressed. About May 15th they were thinned and 'were finished in about four davs. taking Bains to leave th large beet There were 25090 beets to the acre at harvest time, October 22nd. Father cultivated them for me eight times during the season and irrigated them seven times between July 1st and October 10th. I do not remember how many times I weeded them, but weeds were not permitted to grow. I topped them myself and no beets were left in the ground Beans were grown on this acre the prvious year. I am very pleased with my success, and appreciate the award o paid by the Sugar Co. as first prize. I am 14 years of age." Ruth Petersen of Bear River City, the winner of the second prize offered o by the Sugar Company for the next largest tonnage, was awarded S15.00 for producing 15.5 tons of beets on her one acre. The land was fall plowed and planted April 17th, after several harrow-ing- s, so that the land looked like a perfect garden plot, and 18 lbs. of seed was used, resulting in a heavy stand. "I began thinning May 20th, and spaced them 13 inches apart. No weeds were allowed to grow, because our fieldman said one weed takes as much strength from the ground as the beet does. The beets were cultivated six or seven times, and irrigated seven times. It was a pleasure to work in the beets since it seemed that they smiled and grew bigger after each days work. I thank the Sugar Com- pany for their prize and hope another prize will be offered for 1930. My age , is 16 years." Utah-Idah- " , Utah-Idah- Utah-Idah- - Prospects Good For 1930 Sugar Beet Crop According to the reports of Dr. Walter Carter, senior entomologist of the United States Bureau of Entomology, leaf hopper, one of the sugar beets most bitter enemies will bel comparatively scarce this year. Prospects are bright for a good beet yield in Jerome, Twin Falls, Minidoka, and Cassia counties in Idaho, and will also apply to Utah districts, according to Mr. Carter. He based his reports upon leaf hopper conditions in recent years and was of the opinion that the districts named would be comparatively free from the pest this summer. Winter conditions have ben favorable to kill the insect, .vhe said. A survey, where two thousand leaf hopper cages, in which a hundred leaf hoppers have been placed under the same conditions as to feed, etc., as would prevail on the desert where this insect lives, shows that 75 of them died during the winter. Dr. Carter said : "The survey demonstrated conclusively that the deseret populations (the leaf hopper) are as low as in .early spring of previous good years, t The fall Bnd winter weather chart has ben carefully com- pared with similiar charts for the past 11 years. The comparisons indicate-- , clearly that the past winter has been ; a type associated with good beet years, having very little leaf hopper; damage." - -- ; ; ; " j Annual Relief Society t Social, Next Monday ; - A fin program and dance ha been, ' arranged for the Relief Society annual r to be held in the chapel and recreation hall, Monday, March 17th, The pro- gram will commence at 8 P.
