Measures to lessen the severity of the blow inflicted by drought were taken as early as last September, when seed was distributed to more than families for the planting of rye and other pastures, and to more than families for the planting of kitchen gardens. The expenditure for this purpose amounted to $326,800. Green vegetables were made available up to the first of January. Early in February another Red Cross garden program got under way and 507,000 packages of seed were distributed in 15 states. Quarter-acrplots were planted to beaus, beets, cabbage, carrots, collard, sweet corn, kale, lettuce, mustard, okra, onions, peas, spinach, squash, tomatoes and turnips. Once again were farm families given the opportunity to participate In their own salvation. A comparatively mild winter contributed to the success of the Spring and Fall seed campaigns.

The United States Department of Agriculture and the local county agricultural agents and home demonstration agents cooperated in making this part of the relief operations outstandingly successful. Balanced Meals Served Red Cross feeding was aimed at adequacy and cientific correctness, as well as simple economy. In large numbers of schools, where children were found to be attending with little or nothing La their lunch boxes, hot meals were served at noon. A typical menu consisted of vegetable soup and bread one day; thick beef soup or stew with vegetables another day; cocoa or milk., and cheese, peanut butter, or jam sandwiches, a third day. In some places where lunches were not served In the schools, but were provided for in the regular food orderB, each family having school children r ceived extra staples for school lunches including peanut butter, raisins, prunes and tomatoes. Red Cross nutritionists instructed mothers In the preparation of lunches. County health officers and private physicians commended the adequacy pf rations procured on orders issued Red Cross chapters, which were 'jffhy V ''filled at local stores. Besides the usual staples, such as corn meal, flour, lard, meat, beans and potatoes, such Items as canned salmon, cabbage, tomatoes, vegetables and milk were provided, each order being adapted to the special needs of the family for whom it was Issued. Where pellagra threatened, eggs, yeast and other preventives were given. Thousands ef Volunteer Worker Many thousands of volunteers, through their local Red Cross chapters, gave freely of their time, experience and efforts, as in other Red Cross disaster operations. They searched out needy cases in their communities, many persons being restrained from asking assistance because of pride. Chapter committees investigated circumstances, distributed food and cloth' ing. ' More than 500 carloads of foodstuffs were contributed. These were given free haulage by railroads. Farmers of more fortunate sections embraced the opportunity to help their pastoral cousins of the affected area. Shipments ranged from live poultry to fish, from grain to grapefruit Carloads of flour, eggs, beans, vegetables, onions, rice, corn and mixed vegetables were in cluded. ; Red As the result of Cross chapter efficiency, not one au thentlcated case of starvation as a result of drought has been uncovered. Large quantities of new and. used clothing were distributed. In direct consequence many school children resumed their studies who had been kept at home for lack of sufficient protection from the elements. In some instances, rural schools that had been closed were enabled to reopen as a result of Red Cross relief work. States Involved were: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia. West Virginia. Many of these States had been hard hit by a succession of floods, crop failures, low prices and economic depression, and drought constituted a climax to the cycle of distress.

" NIGHT IS HELD Sometime between 12 and 1 o'clock Sunday a fire broke out in the roof of the home of Thomas Summers, of Bothwell, which later completely destroyed it. The family was at home but were not aware of the blaze until notified by near neighbors. Hundreds of people responded to the alarm but owing to an extremely strong wind that was blowing all that could be done was to save most of the furniture, clothing etc. in the downstairs rooms, , During"t?apast two years the Summers had done considerable repairing and improving on their home to make it modern. This had been accomplished and aside from the additional loss sustained here many valuable articles of an accumulation of 30 years that can never be replaced wers lost. Kind neighbors and friends made the family as comfortable as possible in the distress caused by the loss of in- Over 5000 Persons to Inspect New $250,000 Poultry Facilities Over 500 persons from all parts of!

Honor Program ClUD The M. I. A. Stake Honor night, held at Garland, Wednesday, proved to be very successful in the number of entries and the quality of the entries. The number of wards entering was somewhat of a disappointment to the Stake M. I. A. officers as only four out of twelve wards entered in any of the activities. Those wards were Tremonton, Garland, Bothwell and Thatcher. Tremonton entered in six numbers winning first place in dancing, Gleaner Girls public speaking, Junior Girls retold story, and Vanguards retold story. Second places were won in 'M' Men public speaking and in the double mixed quartette. Tremonton and Thatcher tied for second place in the drama. Garland entered in five numbers, winning first place in the double mixed quartette, male chorus, and 'M' Men public speaking and taking second place in the Gleaner Girls public speaking and in dancing. Bothwell entered in drama and captured first place in this number and in dancing, getting third. Thatcher had but one entry, that of drama and as before stated tied with Tremonton for second place. A special feature of the evening was the manner in which the entries were judged ,it being a departure of former times. Each contestant had a vote as to who he or she thought excelled and cast their vote in accordance, those receiving the highest num ber of votes winning and in case of a tie a single judge was selected to cast the deciding vote. Every number was given in a very creditable manner and was roundly applauded by the large crowd that attended. The Centennial Waltz attracted the most attention and was a rare exhibition of grace, beauty and skill. The Tremonton Lions met at Otto's Wednesday, and enjoyed a real southern dinner with Virginia baked ham, hot corn bread and all that goes with it. The meeting was almost 100 per cent in attendance, the informer of the club stating the reason being that advanced information was given out that L. S. Mann, the valley's super character diagnostician, was going to present for the club's approval another of his famous yellow sheets. (Which when passed by the Lions' board of censorship will appear in the Leader.) A letter was read from the District Governor telling of the dates that have been set for the district convention to be held at Pocatello, Idaho. They were June 22nd and 23rd. A letter was also read from the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce relative to the state chamber of commerce club being formed and requested a rep resentative from this club. Israel Hunsaker reported of the recent meeting of the road committee with the same committee of the Garland club relative to a new road running directly East from Garland, cross ing the river and joining the hill road near Collinston. After some discussion it was decided to draw up a resolution setting forth the club's attitude relative this road and mail a copy of the same to the Garland club. In line with the resolution passed by the Garland club that in each month where five Wednesdays appear this night would be turned into an inter night. This club passed a similar resolution. Lavon Stokes and Marion Summers, accompanied by Mrs. Stokes, rendered some songs they composed about the club and its members. The entertainers were given a rousing reception for their clever and highly entertaining numbers. Joe Burgess made his maiden speech and it was a dandy. Joe gave them a bit of first hand information of how to take the place of the fellow who didn't show up, Lion Joe was given a hand. Of Fine Entertainment; ' Roads Discussed "' .

Zundel, Rosevear went out to the barn after breakfast to separate a cow and calf. He took with him a shotgun stating that a hawk was molesting the chickens. About 15 minutes later, a guest at the ranch went out into the yard and found Rosevear's body lying in the corall. He called the man's wife, who, with Carter and other neighbors, made a careful examination of the premises and found that Rosevear had locked the calf up and evidently came back to the net wire fence, where he had left the gun on the outside, and in attempting to pull the gun through the fence, it was accidentally discharged. The discharge of the gun struck him in the right abdomen. From all appearances, death was instantaneous. Mr. Rosevear and wife came to the Carter ranch about a year ago, from the Harrisville brickyard, where Rosevear had been employed previously for about nine years. He leaves a wife but no children.

To those that have had an opportunity to go through this beautiful build ing since its completion will have ample cause for admiration and commendation. From the time one enters the beautiful little vestibule into the amusement hall unto the last classroom in the basement he is treated with one surprise after another in the beau ty and completeness of every room and corner. From top to bottom the floors are covered with inlaid lineolium, with the exception of the Bishop's office and the Relief Society room which are completely covered with carpet. These-twrooms are outstanding in beauty and arrangement To add to the beauty and charm of the building that contains nine class rooms, a modern kitchen, and rest rost rooms for ladies and men aside from those already mentioned, there is an R. C. A. radiophone with loud speaker equipment throughout the building, and an electrical system that would be the envey of a modern metropolis show house. The people of Garland are to be commended on their achievement. They have in spite of the financial depression carried this splendid project to a successful conclusion within the year from its beginning. The building cost approximately o $40,000.00. Plant A Garden This Spring Is Advice Given Recently W, R, Beattie, Senior Horticulturist of the Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, in a nationally broad-- . talk on the farm garden, stated that in every economic crisis through which the agriculture of any section of the country has passed the home garden and other sources of home food supply have saved the day. When the boll weevil struck the "cotton growing sections, Mr. Beattie pointed out, one of the first steps taken was to start a campaign for vegetable gardens, poultry, pigs and cows on every farm so that the land would at least provide a means of livelihood. Things haven't changed much and the same principles apply to day. The farmer, however hard times may be for him, who plants and cultivates his own garden has a, form of insurance against privation that is denied the city worker. In this respect he is far better off than the thousands of unemployed in the cities, many of whom left the farm at the time, of industrial prosperity and are now looking wistfully back at the land. "If everybody engaged In farming." ,v Mr. Beattie said in his address, "will produce plenty of fruits, vegetables, milk and butter, poultry and eggs, home grown and cured pork, also fresh meats to some extent, they can at least have a good living at home and that is more than a lot of people who are out of employment have today. 'But,' says the pessimist, 'that will only increase the difficulty and reduce the market for foods that are grown in a large way for sale.' Perhaps,, provided the farmer has the money with which to buy the food, put suppose he does not have the money, what then, As a matter of fact, it is good business and economy to produce most of the living for the farm family and the hired help right on the farm.' In many instances the farm diet is too much restricted to meat, potatoes and bread. Green vegetables, one of nature's best preventive medicines,, have little place on the menu. The various deficiency diseases have a chance to creep in, breaking down health and stamina. Investigators have found that a large portion of ill health in rural districts is traceable to the absence of a well balanced diet. No diet can be called well balanced that lacks an abundance of fresh, green vegetables. A vegetable garden planted this spring will return ample dividends in health and in helping to make the able to weather farm storm. economic any cast-radi- g, I j I g Owing to added work which had to be done thw week, much of the correspondence had to be left out of this issue.
