POOL HALL BURNS TO GROUND OUTLOOK BRIGHT Large Crowd Watches I Business Burn i FOR POETRY The press was brought to a sudden stop Friday morning when it was learned that a fire had started in the Woodward Bros. Pool Hall which com pletely destroyed the structure. "Most of the equipment was burned. The city fire department was called but was unable to render any service as the fire truck was being overhauled. A call was made on the Garland fire department who responded immediately and was on the job in 15 minutes and was abla to save the nearby buildings. The fire started after Mr. H. T. Woodward had started a fire in his heater. He immediately went for water and before he could get it the fire had such a start he was unable to extinguish it. INDUSTRY Sfopeful Reports Given At Convention Just Held Splendid spirit of optimism and cooperation displayed by speakers, officers and members at the annual Utah Poultry Producers' Cooperative association at the Newhouse hotel in Salt Lake last week spells continued success of Utah's poultry industry and a certainty that prosperity will return. Despite hard times and present tow was the most prices, the and best attended ever I enthusiastic held by the state poultry group. Between 700 and 1,000 Utah and southern Idaho poultry men attended the sessions held during the morning and afternoons of Jan. 19 and 20. President Anderson told of a personal investigation he and Jesse W. Hoopes of Brigham City, association vice president, recently made of mar-- , lioting conditions in New York in answer to the complaint that Utah's pack was outlawed. "'The Utah Poultry association", said the president, "holds the most fa-- l 1'erable position on the New York A personal canvass 4jfcfeTr1cet today. jJwong reliable jobbers, dealers and the trade generally brought nothing but praise for Utah eggs mA the marketing association." President Anderson urged the producers to retain control of the stock in the association issued them, explaining that last year it earned eight per cent and would in time be retirod at par value.. He appealed to the producers to continue their loyal support of the association and maintain a rior mal production of quality products. '"Myinvestigation of the vastness of the New York market convinces me that Utah 5ould "double her egg and poultry production with safety in normal times, providing we maintain pres ent quality," he asserted. Governor George H. Dern congratulated the organization on the splendid progress it had made in building up the state and urged continuation of rigid grading activities so that the reputation for quality held by Utah products may become even more widespread. Professor Byron Alder, director of the Utah State Agricultural college poultry department, advocated inauguration of more rigid culling methods, citing figures from a Survey made of 119 flocks in 1929 and 100 f fVv, in 1930 in various sections of V flVe state. The highest group produced 189 eggs per hen arid the lowest 131, while the average in the U. S. is less than 100 eggs per hen, he said. In addition to the discussion, the poultry conclave was featured by the election of officers and three directors. Joseph" Anderson was president; Heber A. Smith of Draper was chosen first vice president; Fred H. Bradley of American Fork, second vice president; John A. Johnson of Provo, third vice president, and Clyde C Edmonds of Salt Lake, secretary-treatiurand general manager. The convention proper Jesse W. Hoopes a director and selected John H. Kemp of Logan, and Ray P. Lund, of Manti, to fill vacancies on the board of directorsleft by the expiration of the terms of J. J. Spend-lovof Richfield, and Hans Rigtrup, of Springville. . ccn-encio- n The Lions Club met in bimonthly business meeting and discussed activities for the ensuing year. Lion president Supan is determined to have all committees working, and reporting their activities. Replies to the resolution relative to sugar tariff was read from Senator Smoot and Senator King, also from Congressman Loof borough. Each of these men gave assurance of doing everything possible to help the sugar industry. Lion Cannon reported that the entertainment committee had some real treat in store for ladies night, which will be some time during February. The president handed the tail twister his printed instructions, defining his duties and authority. The following Lions were appointed on the agricultural committee: A Theurer S. C. Taylor and E. C.

Wheat and cotton and corn keep on piling up in warehouses. Our neighbors keep on hunting for jobs that don't exist. Now, it's wrong to spend our dollars foolishly, just for the sake of spending. But a lot of us are saving dollars foolishly just for the sake of saving without 8 MoST prices are way down further down than they were even in 1921. Eggs and butter and flour and clothing and furniture are way down and that means values are way up. This is the greatest buying time we 11 see again for many years. ! Brough discussed projects in which this committee could render assistance, and we are expecting to hear a real accomplishments from this committee. The Extension Service of the Utah College, through the cooperation of the County Agricultural Agents, the District Home Demonstration Agents and the Specialists, each Friday evening at 7:15 over KLO are putting on a 15 minute educational program r dealing with agriculture and home economics problems. Next Friday night, January 29, County Agricultural Agent Robert H. Stewart of Box Elder will speak on Orchard Management. Also his two daughters, Jean and Beth will give a musical number on the piano and gui- tar. Each Friday night the program will be different. Anyone wishing a copy of the talk givf n can obtain same by writing the Extension Service of your county. P RETTY, soon, these prices are going to start up some prices have already stared up. When they do, we'll have to pay more for the things we need right now. We shall have lost the chance to get that new suit or dress or chair or bed or radio or automobile at a bargain! B ESIDES, if we buy these things now, we'll put some body to work who needs a job even worse than he needs charity. If we put him to work, he can buy the things we make or sell, and that will. help us. R. H.

The records orthe U. S. Department of Agriculture kept by Mr. Zundel of Tremonton are of the heavy precipitation over the whole intermountain territory. The contrast of the three proceeding dry years is nfotable. During November and December of 1929 the total precipitation was .46 inch, the same months of 1930 gave .98 inch, while last November and December totaled 3.00 inches, and an additional inch to date in January, has fallen. It is encouraging to note also that experts of the U. S. Department of Agriculture in charge of sugar beet and vegetable disease investigations in the Utah and Idaho district report the smallest carryover for many years of white flies in the sections of the west known to be the principle breeding and hatching grounds of that pest. They attribute this condition of reduced fly population to the dry, hot summer drying up the host plant? of the fly early in the summer. Upon these findings they forecast a favorable year for the production of plants which are the first fed upon by the white fly when in years favorable for their reproduction, they migrate from their native haunts on various desert wastes. The plants of agricultural importance, which they choose to feed upon and thus poison are sugar beets, tomatoes, aid beans. dt banquet the South Box Elder Farm Bureau will be held at Honey ville, Friday, Jan uary 29th. The banquet will be served at 6 p. m. and will be followed with a splendid program and dance. According to reports aired around this is to be one of the outstanding functions of the season.
