Show E VAmm WAR TREMONTON, UTAH, THURSDAY. JULY VOLUME 5 Western Yellow Blight CALIFORNIA POULTRY EXPERT Destroys Tomato Crop SAYS UTAH PRODUCTS THE BEST J Due to the efforts of J. L. Weidman, there was a large attendance of poultry men and others interested in the industry, gathered in the Lions club- -' rooms, Friday night to listen to an . . address by W. H. Warner, of the Pahlman hatcheries, of Petaluma, Calif, which is conceded to be the center of the largest poultry-raisin- g United States. Mr. Warner, who for some years, was an instructor at the U. S. A. and was the secretary of the Utah Poultry ' Producers , association during its infancy, is acknowledged to be one f the greatest poultry specialists in the country, and in the raising and caring of poultry as well as devising means for their healthful propogation and growth, he is in the front rank of experts. He gave an interesting talk, in the course of which, he stressed the point that the business of running a chicken ranch, was just the same as any other business enterprise. When conducted by people who understood their busig ness, it was a success a business, but in the hands of renovices or operated as a ceiving the minimum of attention, it was foredoomed to failure. He pointed fwit, that the recent slump in the of eggs and chickens, was Jue to the fact that so many people rushed into the chiken business, after a season of high prices, was inevitable. that The venture of the inexperienced producers, while it had the tendency to lower prices to the present abnormal figure, it had the saving grace of putting the experimenters out of business, for the time being, at least. He, said, that for some years he had carefully watched, what he characterized as "price phenonema,' 'and found that it Tiappened every three years. When the experimenter was disposed of, the bona-fid- e chiken rancher came in to his own and he received good prices for his product. In the care of pullets, he laid great emphasis on the importance of giving them plenty of green feed, which coupled with good housing to protect g them from during hot spells, and a watchful eye for proper would insure healthy ventilation, growth and a practical certainty of bringing the chicks to maturity. In speaking of diseases, he said the plentiful use of green feed, was an excellent preventive and was as essential to the pullets as oil to an automobile. He said he had made a tour of inspection throughout the entire state and was free to confess that the Utah poultry raisers had much which they could teach the coast producers. He Utah as an ideal poultry , chartf'-V.e- d section and gave four T?tX reasons, why the Utah product was in greater demand and brought higher prices in the eastern markets, than the California products. The first of these, he said that green feed was more abundant, therefore cheaper; the taxes here were much lower; climatic conditions were much superior to that on' the coast and it was closer to the eastern markets, where the highest prices prevailed. These things, he were all contributing factors in keeping the Utah producers well in the van of the poultry Industry.

He is making his way across the country, from Buffalo to San Francisco, already having visited in his short young life 1076 cities to date. Unlike most cripples he asks no charity, only a priviledge to earn as he goes. He is loaded with pencils and post cards which he sells to the public. Like many other children this crippled boy found his home with a step- tr in it not to his liking and felt he would rather trust his lot great American public than to a step parent, who could not understand. From all appearances he is none the worst for his experiences and has added his bit to the public he meet in preaching the gospel of sunshine and good cheer. He visits all the newspapers he can where they freey give him publicity, as any newspaper man is refreshed when meeting a cripple youth with a courageous spirit who asks no favors but pays as he goes unlike many of his able bodied brothers that pass in throngs asking favors they are unwilling to return In the way of honest 9 4 e .': effort Success and good luck to our pled friend, the news boy. crip- 1 the state and may continue it's ravages until harvest. The disease is not new to Utah, having previously appeared in epidemic form jn 1905, 1919 1921, 1924, and 1926. It also appears, in a small way, every year. Only in 1905 has the epidemic been so severe as in 1930. Losses this year may become practically complete in some'areas. Can anything be done to aid in the situation? is the one question in the mind of each grower and every canner in Utah. Unfortunately ilttle progress has been made in control.

GROWERS RECEIVING ONLY 63c Warehouses At Lampo, Tremonton And Garland Will Store Approximately 500,000 Bushels Leaving Half Crop To Be Put On Market . CONVENTION OF WOOLGROWERS HELD AT LOGAN Mrs. Lucinda Jensen Chosen President Of Ladies Auxiliary "To advertise and to popularize lamb and mutton in the American home was the theme of the State Wool Growers convention held at Logan, July 14 and 15, at the Engineers Building, U. .S. A. C. The convention opened with state president, A. J. Harvey, in the chair with more than two hundred in attendance. The principal speaker of the opening session were Frank J. Hagenbarth, president of the National association and Mr. Joseph Draper, of the Draper Wool Buying company, of Boston, and who now is in charge of the Cooperative Wool Marketing association. In theevening of the first day all members "of the convention were taken to the Girls' camp in Logan canyon, where they were banqueted under the direction of Mrs. Lucinda Jensen, of Bear River City. P. V. Cardon acting as toastmaster. The morning session of July 15 was a public session, Russell Wilkins, of Ogden. and Joseph Marshall, of Salt Lake, National secretary, were the principal speakers. At the same time a session of the ladies auxiliary was held with Mrs. Lucinda Jensen presiding. The speakers were John Marshall, Rna B. Maycock, of the U. S. A. C, and Mrs. E. J. Kerns, state auxiliary president, of Salt Lake City. Three important resolutions were passed in this meeting: First, that the ladies pledge themeselves to add at least one wool dress to their own and their daughters wardrobe this season and to use wool for all fancy work and decoration purposes and to friends to do likewise. encourag-Second, that Saturday of each week be designated as lamb day and to use no other meats on this day, and to put forth an effort to have markets carry lamb and mutton and retail it at a price in accordance with wholesale prices. (In other words, not hold the people up when the mutton market is low as it is todav, which prevents buying of this product.)' Third, to inaugurate an educational campaign in relation to popularizeing lamb in the American diet. The ladies auxiliary is young in the state, Salt Lake City having the largest unit with American Fork as second. The Northern Utah ladies auxiliary is the oldest in point of organization in the state and has been a separate unit until affiliated with the state organization during this convention. Mrs. Lucinda Jensen was made president of the Northern Utah unit, which comprises Box Elder, Cache and Rich counties, with Mrs. Lulu B. Kearl, of Laketown. of Rich county, and Mrs. Joseph White, of Paradise, of Cache county first and second vice presidents, respectively, with Mrs. Maude Hodges, secretary and treasurer. The concluding session was a conjoint meeting at wheih business of the association was transacted and an address delivered by Prof. William Peterson, on American grazing. Heretofore the wool growers have left it pretty much with the packers to advertise their product but it was decided at this convention that an intensive advertising campaign running into the millions of dollars would be carred on by the wool growers in an effort to popularize their product.

It is reported as a severe attack of intestinal flue. A fine baby girl arrived to make its home with Mr. and Mrs. Ed Stenquist offered in a score of years. The grain buyers who have made an inspection of the crop in Blue Creek, HanseL Whites' and Pocatello valleys, all of which is shipped through Tremonton, Garland and Lampo, estimate that the crop will exceed that of last year by at least 250,000 bushels, bringing the total to one million bushels. Earlier in the season, the growers were offered as high as 69 cents a bushel, a few of them accepting the price. Today the best price offered for hard winter wheat is 63 cents and for white soft 60 cents. Last year the bulk of the wheat sold around one dollar- - a bushel and some of the growers were lucky enough to get as high as $1.10. In 1928, the average price was 72 ' cents. The combine harvesters have been at work for a week and the grain is now rolling in on trucks as fast as it can be handled. The storage facilities in this section are entirely inadequate to handle the crop, even should the growers elect to hold their wheat for a better price. The only ray of light which illumines the situation is furnished in the storage, samplings and grading facilities offered by the Box Elder Warhouse corporation at Garland. In the warehouse at that place there is storage facilities for the handling of 200,000 bushels of wheat. This warehouse is located on the east side of the Oregon Short Line tracks and another of similar capacity has been practically completed and by the end of the present week, this will bd ready for the storage of grain, which brings the total capacity up to 400,000 bushels. Those growers who are lucky enough to get their wheat into these warehouses, even if the price goes no higher than the present quotation of 63 cents, will fare better than those who cannot find storage for their grain, owing to the fact that the Gar land concern is a bonded warehouse and the? grain stored there will be graded and sampled, thus insuring a" higher price than can be obtained by those who are compelled to ship and sell in bulk. , The storage facilities at Tremonton, privately owned, does not exceed 50,000 bushels, while that at Lampo, on the Southern Pacific R. R., is about of that amount i Unless the Garland warehouse people do some mighty quick sampling and grading so as to ship and relieve congestion at that point, there will be in the neighborhood of 600,000 bushels of wheat for which the growers, in the absence of storage facilities, will be forced to accept any price they can get J one-ha- lf for their crop. . , , ,. : - During the past winter and early Grain Growers National Marketing spring, W, H. Barrett, manager of the association with headquarters at Ogden, made several trips to Tremonton, Garland and Howell, in an effort to organize regional locals, so that the 1930 crop could be marketed through the national association, which is equipped with ample storage facilities to take care of the grain, until they choose to enter the market In Garland, advantage was taken of the opportunity, a regional district was formed, the membership of which. Is hooked up with the Box Elder Warehouse corporation at that place. In Tremonton. while several meetings were held, the opportunity was passed un and the same condition obtained at Howell, which is the center of the grain growing districts in the valleys previously mentioned.
