AARON F. cessful in Refunding BRACKEN GIVES And Calling $25,000 Outstanding Bonds WHEAT REPORT At the regular council meeting held Monday night with all members present three important ordinances were passed. One affecting curb gas pumps another" pertained to garbage and debris and the other perpetual upkeep for the city cemetery. These ordinances appear in another part of this issue and should be read with care by every citizen, who will be affected by at least one of them. Appearing at the council meeting were businessmen who were both for and against the removal of curb The council however, stood pumps. firm in their decision of the previous council meeting, that the pumps should be removed within six months period from that date. Sealed bids were received for the refunding of $10,000 of the outstanding city bonds and for the calling in of $15,000 of bonds, which will be taken up by the city with money accumulated in the sinking fund for this purpose. Lauren W. Gibbs Co. were the successful bidders with 4 interest and $195 for refunding service. The Central Trust Co. were the next low bidders with the same rate of interest and $222 refunding service. Edwin S. Felt Co. bid at 5 with $184 refunding service. After the refunding and calling of these bonds the total bonded indebtedness of Tremonton City will be a large part of this amount havrefunded two years ago at been ing a lower rate of interest in serial bonds, the payment of which begins in 1935. With the blending of the payment of the present bonds, which also will run serially, an ever tenor of payments will be kept up, which in a few years will reduce the bonded indebtedness to a very low figure. The financial condition of the City, in relation to bonded indebtedness, is considered by experts to be in fine shape. With the new low rate of interest secured in the refunding of the outstanding bonds a considerable will be saved for the city in interest. appeared Attorney Woodmancee before the council with relation to the revising of the city ordinances and making bringing them them conform to state statutes which have been passed in recent years. While many of the city ordinances, perhaps, are obsolete and at some future date will require a revision of the entire set, this matter was tabled for the present time at least. $30,-O0- 0, te Philip Rauber Seriously Hurt in Auto Accident Philip Rauber was seriously injured lit an automobile accident, Wednesday afternoon, when the car in which he was riding rolled over two or three times after striking one of the grade posts on the West side of the Bear River bridge, at Corinne.

Nearly 100 ac- Increase in Use of Library In Year ' report of the librarian in the meeting that preceeded the council meeting, it was found that the month just past was the busiest in the history of the library. Comparing it with a year ago it was nearly 100 per cent in point of distribution of books. 1130 for a year ago with 1975 for the month jnsf past. These comparisons are significant in the increase of the library use when we take into consideration that the new building was in use in March of last year. Mrs. Agnes Waldron appeared before the library board in behalf of the Daughters of rioneers, of which organization she is president, to ask permission for the privilage of placing a case in the library room for the purpose of housing relics that are in possession of this organization. Permission was granted and it la expected that a rare collection will be gathered irt the Winter Killing In Box Elder County Not Serious The wheat situation in Box Elder is conCounty, as far as winter-killin- g cerned, is not serious. After careful examination of many fields, covering a wide area in both Blue Creek and Hansel Valleys, the maximum loss was observed to be not more than 5 to 10 per cent of the stands. The killing is limited almost entirely to early sown wheat, with later seeding showing little, if any, damage. The injury has likely resulted from either smothering or freezing of the plants. Some of the evdence indicates that both factors may have operoted. No "heaving" of the soil, which often results in damage, was observed. The most serious problem facing the wheat farmer in this county, ond other sections of the state, is the economic situation. It is likely that the relative value of wheat has never been so low in our national history. The immediate future holds out little promise of relief, but unquestionably the next two years will bring indications of recovery. Both the north and the south Plains areas with average yields near 9 bushels have added significantly to the wheat surplus in the last ten yean Unquestionably large sections of this marginal land, unable to meet the com petition of higher yielding sections, will go back to grass. Even before the "crash" this was taking place in Montana. With such high- - acre yields, the wheat growers, of this Country, without doubt, will survive the depression, if the leaks in the cost of production can be stopped. The reduction of cost on the dry lands is dependent upon striking such a balance as to give the highest possible acre yield with as little expense and labor as is consistant. The experimental results have accumulated at the Nephi Dryland station and other similar farms, points to certain practices which might be used to advantage. At Nephi early Spring plowed land left untilled during the fallow has given an acre yield of 25.1 bushels, and normal tillage consisting of two to three harrowings with a leveling has given exactly the same yield. Frequent harrowing of the fallow has actually reduced yields. If weeds come on the fallow, of necessity, they need to be controlled. In efent that weeds fail to come, however, one harrowing just before drilling would be advisable. Where the wheatland plow is a part of the farmer's equipment this implement can be used at a much reduced cost as compared to the ordinary plow with apparently no reduction in yield when used on the ordinary loam soils. As an additional means of reducing cost of tillage, the results of experiments conducted at Moro, Oregon, indicate that deep disking with the ordinary tanden disk is equal to plowing when yields are compared. No data of this nature has been accumulated at Nephi, but where farmers on the Levan ridge have tried such a practice no noticeable difference was observed between this type of tillage and ordinary plowing. While burning of the stubble is not a practice to be followed every season, stubble can be burned occasionally without detriment to the soil. When disking takes the place of plowing, burning of the stubble might be advisable. Discing in place of plowing cannot be unreservidly advocated, but might be employed on a small acreage for trial. However, if the cost of plowing is prohibitive in the light of present conditions, unquestionably (Continued On Page Four) Infant Son of Mr. and Mrs. Max Gailey Dies John Lomoin, 8 months old son of Mr .and Mrs. Max Gailey, of this city died at the Garland hospital Thursday morning, at 1 A.

E. Everley, manager of the Carnation Dairy Farms will be the judge. A meeting was called at 8 o'clock Thursday evening, April 9, at the Com mercial Club, Brigham City, for the Executive committee, the finance committee, and all members of the dairy cattle assembling committee. At this meeting aH details such as prizes, milking contest, ribbons, time of judging, etc, will be completed. If anyone has any matter to bring up before the officers you are invited to this meeting. During times of depression everyone should work all the harder to build beneficial institutions. The dairyman, who learns well the dairy business, who culls closely, who feeds better, who does not permit himself to become discouraged, who imitates and takes the advice of more successful dairymen and specialists is the one who will be ready to make money when prices again become normal. Fit your animals, exhibit them, and compare your success with your neigh bor. If all the dairymen in our county will assume this responsibility "Dairy Day" will be a success. A similar responsibility rests upon all of us in the county. Robert H. Stewart, Co.

The campaign was sponsored by the north Box Elder Farm Bureau, the County Agricultural Extension Service, and the Lions' clubs of Garland and Tremonton. The poisoned bait was mixed and distributed, and the campaign directed, by the U. S. Biological Survey with V. Johnson in charge. The county press, the individuals, the organizations, and all who assisted in making the drive a success are to be congratulated for their fine spirit of cooperation. Thousands of rats have, no doubt, been destroyed, and the people should benefit very ma terially as a result. In addition to the rat poisoning, the Extension office has distributed many sacks of poisoned bait for field mice and pocket gophers. In a few days large quantities will also be distributed to control the ground squirrels in many sections of the county. Cooperation is the forerunner of sue cess.

During the past four years the Coadministration has endeavored to bring about a more favorable and better condition in the City Cemetery. During the past two years much has been done to accomplish this project. The club took hold of the project and under the energetic direction of H. T. Woodward, then president of the club some $1500 was raised by lot holders in the cemetery for the purpose of With installing water there. some little help from the city this was accomplished and immediately a great many lots were planted into grass and shrubbery.- - The cemetery took. ona different appearance and the lot owners immediately became interested in its further beautification. The ordinance, which appears in another part of this issue, was the climax to the furtherance to this splendid piece of work and no doubt will be the means of making Tremonton Cemetery one of the most beautiful in the country in time. Those who are interested in perpetual upkeep should read the ordinance referred to above, very carefully, as all the necessary information and conditions of perpetual upkeep and beautification are contained there- Charlotte Emma Mason, widow of the late George J. Mason, died at her home in Plymouth, Thursday morning, at 8 o'clock, following an illness -- in. City officials have laid plans for a park in the center of the cemetery and are in hopes that the work and planting of the same can be accomplished during the coming season. It is hoped that people who have their loved ones buried in this cemetery will become interested in its beau tification and make arrangements for its perpetual care, which can be had for the small sum of $6.00 a year, pad n advance on the 15th of May, or a lump sum of a $100 for all time.

Garfield winning over Green was rather an upset to everyone but the winner has been training faithfully for the past two years to get into the jaunt. Every one seems satisfied in seeing the Dr. Luke Medal go to Elwin. Close on the winners heels trailed Green, finishing in good condition without his customary sprint. He wao followed quite close by Wood, Packer, Perry and Adams. To these boys go the prizes given by Gepharts, J. C. Penney Co., Fishburn's, Scott Drug, Coombs & Persson and Jensens Furniture. The first five to finish will maki the trip to Salt Lake Saturday to com pete in the State City Creek Run. Bear River's team have finished first in this run twice in the past three yearn The other times they finished second. This team promises to uphold thi good record set by others and bring home some of the medals. Monday the prizes donated by local merchants were chosen as follows: Garfield. sweater Gephart Coombs & Persson shirt Green Wood. shirt J. C. Penney Packer. Fishburn's tie bill fold Scott's Perry. Adams. Jensen's pocket knife Class standing in the race was Juniors 1st, Freshmen 2nd. Interest in track seems to be only starting to manifest itself, due largely to the late cold spring weather. From now on, with competition promised for each succeeding Friday, the boys, head ed by such men as Garfield and Green fs the distances. Hawkins and Morgan in the sprints, Rhodes and Tati in the weights, are going to build up enthusiasm enough to carry them a good way toward the regional championship. 16. 358.
