Show PAGE FIVE BEAJi RIVER VALLEY LEADER, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1930. BONAIR FARM (Land that has a history) When the bear river canal began operation in 1892. the company known as the Bear River Land and Water Company, having traded water shares for land, came into possession of section three township nine, range three west. This land was chosen by them as one of the choice sections of the Bear River Valley. In 189?, it was broken-u- p and planted to grain. It was soon laid out as a townsight to be known as Fruitvale and planted to orchard consisting of apples, pears and plums. It become known as "The Model Farm." Many thousands of dollars were expended to develop this farm. It was estimated that families could produce a livelihood on from five to ten acres each. Contracts of purchase were scattered far and wide. . Tjhe first grain crops yielded well $dk?in just a few years the trees began ' The land had not been well llJeleveled. With excessive irrigation, the alkali began to appear on the surface and the crops diminished each year until most of the trees died. The capitalists withdrew from the scene of action allowing the land to go to the "mow wows" The land has changed hands many times as the abstract shows until it was considered a bad venture as ah investment, having no productive power. Some tracts had Already been tiled drained and responded. The Corinne Drainage District was created in 1915 with C. G. Adney, J. J. Craner and W. E. Dunn as supervisors. Surface drainage had proven unsatisfactory. In December 191o Adolph Reeder purchased 65 acres in Fruitvale town-sit- e in anticipation of results from the drainage. Just previous to this time John C. Weelon had . received an honorary degree (master of scientific drainage engineer) at the U. A. C. He had given several lectures explaining a theory of tile drainage and how it operates. Mr. Reeder heard one of those lectures and was convinced of the possibility of it's successful operation. The following poem seems to fit his notions. - COURAGE "The things that , haven't been done before, are the things to try; CoSq.. i" dreamed of an unknown shore g At the rim of the sky, And his heart was bold and his faith was strong As he ventured in dangers new, And he paid no heed to the. jeering throng Or the fears of the doubting crew. far-flun- The many will follow the beaten With guideposts oh the way, track fly of thirty acres. During the last three years the yield has been quite normal. Well leveled land with a cultivated crop on it is the surest and the quickest way to redeem tiled land from alkali, therefore, a systematic crop rotation has been followed at Bonair Farm. Potatoes and tomatoes are usually planted after .the hay is broken up. The yields are very good. From twelve to fifteen acres are given a dressing each year with barnyard manure. Last year fourteen acres of beets yield 190 odd tons. One acre of potatoes yielded 163 sacks. Twelve acres are planted to clover and pasture grass for the dairy cows. Last year they produced 2414 pounds of butter-fa- t. Last year a modern dairy barn was constructed to accomodate fifteen cows and from fifty to sixty tons of hay. The Utah Power and Light Company has also extended its power line which gives light and power for household neds and to operate an automatic electric pump to supply culinary water for the house and barn. Graveled roads, mail route, school trucks and milk truck together with conveniences now available make the farm as desirable as living in town. Therefore the land with a history has been registered with the state auditor as "Bonair Farm" (Bon meaning delightful.

The holding of the contest In Iowa this year is due to the influence of Henry Field, Shenandoah farmer, merchant and KFNF announcer whose career is one of the romances of American life.

In addition, five hundred dollars in cash will be awarded to the home demonstration agent whose county sends in the largest number of entries, $250 to the agent whose county sends in the next largest number, and $100 to the agent of the county sending in the third largest number. The contest is open to every woman and girl in the United States. There are no restrictions as to the nature of the food sent. Contestants may enter one, two or all three divisions. Entries should be sent in as soon as possible after canning. There will be placed and kept on exhibition at Shenandoah until after the closing of the contest which will be on October 1. Fruit and vegetable entries in the contest will be judged for clearness, color, pack, neatness, flavor and texture. The meat entries will be judged on neatness, texture, flavor.

The soil was a fine sandy loam with a gentle slope that would indicate easy irrigation. In 1916 some 27 acres were planted to beets. The stand was quite normal but when the hot weather started," it became a severe struggle for the beets to exist in the midst of alkali. In spots the beet scurled up and died, however, with excessive irrigation and good care 120 tons were harvested before the early winter freeze of 1916. .In. 1917, he planted twenty acres to barley. : up and looked green but with a few hot days, it burned up ; until there was nothing; to irrigate. The ground was so salty and pickled that- to walk around in the sun made whiskers on the face as tough as greece-wooOne ten acre block planted to oats and alfalfa survived with a yield of ten bushels per acre. A good stand of hay was obtained between two large open drains. In the autumn of 1917 the tile machines appeared on the. scene and the main line with laterals 400 feet apart covered all of Fruitvale or section three. In 1918 there was a ten which yielded Jpy 2 block of alfalfa of a normal crop. kiWout Twenty acres of beets were planted in April. A shower crusted the surface and none came up. This land was iron May 22 and rigated and yielded nine tons per acre. The grain was mostly burned up with alkali. The year of 1919 brought forth a good crop of hay, grain and 12 tons of beets per acre. Land which had formerly turned white in hot weather was now covered with green foliage and began to take on the appearance of a farm. In 1920 thirty acres of beets yielded an average of nearly thirteen tons per acre. In 1921 and 1922 the yield was fifteen tons per acre. In 1923 it reach ed eighteen tons per acre. During 1924 the white fly caused almost a total loss. 1925 was a rood year with twenty-on- e tons per acre, but in 1926 there was another failure from white zzzizz -- i sippi.
