Show BEAR MVEE VALLEY FARMERS NAT'L . READY TO HELP WHEAT GROWERS 5 Dollar Day in Tremonton On Saturday, July 22nd Many Farmers Benefited by Services Given By Organization With the approaching harvest time, the Farmers National stands ready again, as in the past, to give sen-icto the wheat producers of the particular sections where they operate. Many of these benefits and services are not always learned, recognized, or understood by the individual farmers. For example, last year many farmers were forced, because of their constantly increasing obligations, to secure finance to pay them off, and in order not to sell their grains at the extremely low prices used the opportunity afforded them to store their grain with the Farmers National and borrowed what ever they could to temporarily, at least stay the collector. In many instances their margin, or interest in the grain was gone, but by the splendid support given by the management, their grain was not sold out,, when in reality it should have Hence, now many of these able to hold their wheat and are now selling it on this advanced market for as much as 40 cents per bushel more than otherwise could have been gotten, which has meant hundreds of thousands of dollars to the .grain growers of this section. What could be accomplished if all the farmers would assemble themselves in one unit in marketing the grain through a national agency can only be understood and appreciated by those who have participated in this handsome net profit, which in no other way could have been obtained. Many who frowned and misunderstood are now praising and supporting the national agency, established in our midst. This setup is now bejoined the experimental stage and should have the attention of every wheat producer, who " is not blind to his ownlriteresfs. The program presented to the farm- ers Monday evening in the L. D. S. hall, at Tremonton is an outgrowth of the policies and recommendations to the federal administration by this national setup. e farm-3we- ky re " Honeyville Woman Dies Following Burns Jfl' Mrs. Martha H. Harper, 65, of Honeyville, died in a Brigham City hospital, Sunday evening from burns she received that morning in her ,home, when, according to reports, she mistook a can of gasoline for a can of kerocine and attempted to build a fire with the same, After pouring the contents of the can in the range it flared up and caught her clothing. Two sons, who were in the home at the time of the accident, rushed to her rescue but before they could extinguish the flames she was badly burned about the body and limbs. All efforts to save her life, after taking her to the hospital, proved to no avail. Mrs. Harper was born in Honeyville, April 18, 1868. She is survived by five sons and five daughters. Prominent Rancher Loses Property in Fire Orson Jensen, prominent rancher of Bear River City, had the misfortune to have his barn, which was partly filled with hay, a stable, in which were four sets of harness and a cow, burn to the- ground Sunday morning. The fire had gained considerable headway w"efore Mr. Jensen was awakened by farm hands, who were sleeping in a sheep wagon near the barn. A north wind was blowing and all efforts to save the property were in vain. The loss is estimated at $1500. - (7,i!i Locals Will Match 'Half Winners' Sunday last After losing a Sunday to the Logan Collegians by Tremonton is deterthe score of mined to evert matters by trimming the fast Crystal Springs nine, coholders of the first half championship with the Collegians. This team is a fast team and has been playing heads up base ball and should make a good game for our local team. Bui Gardner will probably take the mound for the locals, and either Floyd Gardner or Rasmussen will throw the sphere for the Springs outfit. Gardner lost a two hit game last week while his mates were gathering ten hits, but poor base running and good pitching in the pinches for Logan, allowed our team only one run.

Such was the conclusion of the business men of Tremonton after reading the tirade of the Garland Times editor in his article "Shall Our Children Live" which appeared in last week's issue if his paper. Just because the business men of this community would not fall in line at the slightest suggestion and whim of the Times editor on a proposition that had been under discussion for years and which had long since been discussed from all angles and definite conclusions drawn, then, they are "narrow minded, bigoted, self centered, jealous business men." To say the least the Garland editor is a whiz. In less than one month he has searched the hearts of the men in two communities and found in the one only "God's noblemen," to which we subscribe, and in the other, bigoted, self centered, narrow minded and selfish business men. We cannot conceive of one who would elevate himself upon a pedestal so high and mighty that he can look down on his fellowmen with an outburst of abuse without the r slightest justification. The merits of the proposed road have long since been decided, as far as this community is concerned and were so decided by an engineer, who mapped out the way and there was an attempt made to follow his recommendations. Because this attempt failed it is no reason that this community intends to lay down and permit a substitution of roads, which would actually increase the dangers of the traffic. The Garland editor overlooks the fact that the business men of Tremonton went on record demanding that this curve be eliminated and made safe for the traffic. What is there about that action that is narrow minded or shows bigotry or selfishness? As pointed out in our last week's editorial, to make left hand turns on a through highway, a hill road and a dugway, is not increasing the safety of traffic over the present road. If the Garland editor is so anxious to eliminate this "death .curve" as he terms it, and we all admit that it is danegrous, why would he not join this community in a fight, if a fight it must be, to have the road go as an engineer once designed it, and which is considered the logical and best solution of the curve. Finally, we cannot condone the attitude of the editor and having known the splendid people of Garland for a number of years we feel free to express the opinion that neither do they approve of this abusive outburst, The business meifof "this community are" not going to be freightened into a proposition by abusive terms applied to them when after all there may have been other motives behind the tirade, which have not been covered up by the use of it. Yes, Mr. Editor, "Thy speech betrayeth thee." Wheat Growers Show Keen Interest in "New Deal" Two hundred and two farmers, by the count, were in attendance at the wheat growers meeting held in the L. D. S. chapel here Monday evening and displayed keen interest in the matter presented by O. C. Stott, state, extension eceonomist, Dr. L. M. Baughn, extension economist of the U. S, department of agriculture In his preliminary remarks, Mr. Stott told of some of the causes of the depression and the extremely low prices. He said, things are happening so rapidly that we cannot keep track of them. More has transpired in the past four months than in generations before, he said. He told of how industrial production was more able to adopt themselves to these changed conditions than the farmer and pointed out that industry had decreased production 50 per cent during 1931-3while the farmer actually increased production 4 percent during the same ' 2. " period. In his comment upon the production of wheat, he pointed out that Box Elder County produced over a million bushels each year.

He pointed out that more people were being employed and that relief was forthcoming in the farm and home refinancing and reorganization of the farms, wliich would naturally better the situation with respect to commodity prices for, the farmer. , Dr. M. L. Baughn was the next speaker and, addressing the large group, said he was aware of the fact that they had come to hear something of the allotment plan and without any, preliminaries went straight to this sub would dispose jeet. He aaid that-hof the question that seemed to be uppermost in the minds of the people, that of where does the money come from to pay the farmer under the allotment plan. From a process tax, he said, and explained that there was about 800,000,000 bushels of wheat produced in the United States each, year. 600,000,000 bushels is used for domestic consumption. Therefore all wheat that is ground for flour, or other wheat products, is taxed 30 cents per bushel, In the payment of the farmers on the allotment plan of 30 cents per bushel on of the grain raised, 1930, 1931 and 1932 are the basic years to be used in determining the amount of grain grown upon which the 30 cent payment per bushel will be made. Dr. Baughn took an example of a farmer that had 80 acres of ground which he raised 20 bushels per acre, which would be 1000 bushels a year or 4800 bushels for the past three years. e i stake patriarch. Aside from the number that went from the Bear River stake, a large number attended from the Box Elder stake, Salt Lake and Logan. Following the excursion, a large number of old time friends gathered at his home to extend their congratulations and best wishes and spend the time in social activities. PUN of 4800 would be 3000 bushels, multiplied by 30 cents would be $900.00 that the government will pay to the farmers who will sign a Five-eight- contract and agree to reduce their wheat acreage 20 percent for the next ; three years. On a basis of 60 cents per bushel, it was figured out that the 4800 bushels which would be the amount the man would get off his acreage, based on past figures if he did not join the allotment plan, would bring him $2880.00. By joining the allotment plan and reducing their acreage 20 per cent, the farmer would receive 60 cents per bushel, plus 30 cents, which is the allotment tax, which would bring ? , him $3450.00. Dr. Baughn stated that up until wheat reached $1.25 a bushel the farm er would receive more by joining the allotment plan than he would by re- taining his acreage and ' taking the market price. were asked by the Many questions farmers. One that seemed to be outstanding was What; i8 going to be planted on the 20 percent that is surn merfallowed ? Dr. Baughn replied that he was unable to answer definitely aa that question will have to be settled ' in the future For those who sign up for the 1 lotment plan, 20 cents will be paid in September and the balance of 10 cents in the spring for the first year's allotment. 1 1 Weed Drive Postponed Until Week of July 24 The weed drive scheduled by the North Box Elder County Farm Bureau for the week beginning July 17th has been postponed for one week and will commence the week of July 24th. All farmers, civic organizations and citizens in general are called upon to join in the removal of noxious and other weeds from their premises. " 1 r 4 i1 |
