The quota for Box Elder county is $661,500.00, which will likely be broken down into town and sectional quotas in line with advice given at the Salt Lake conference by Frederick P. Champ, of Logan. "We must have one worker to every 10 or 15 persons solicited," he said. Quoting State Chairman Charles L, Smith, Salt Lake banker, to the effect that sales to individuals lagged during the Third War Loan Chairman Nelson pointed out that $22,000,000 of the state quota must be raised by sale of E, F and G Bonds to individuals.

Club Jar HIGH SCHOOL SHOP TO BE OPENED FOR MACHINERY" REPAIR s The Bear River high school shops will be opened on Monday, Thursday and Friday ffom 4 to 10 p. m. for all who wish to bring farm machinery and equipment in and repair it "Our government is urging all of us to repair and rebuild as much of our equipment as possible so that it will last us a few more years in the emergency we are in," states Mr. Skinner, instructor. "The war must be won and our boys must have equipment and food to win it and I am sure that if we can produce a bushel more grain or a ton more hay by putting our equipment in working condition now instead of waiting for spring, that we have done some little bit to win the war." Some of the equipment that can be worked on now is repair and sharpening harrow teeth, replace worn boxings on mowers, sharpen knives and build up worn gears and shafts, replace worn or broken bolts, register and align cutter bars, repair plow hitches, build up landsides, and sharpen shears, replace worn boxings, build up worn shafts, levers, latch and dogs, replace boxings on disc harrows and sharpen discs, repair grain drills, replace worn bearings, build up worn shaft and boxings, replace broken slats and worn bolts, build up worn shafts, dogs and ratchets and replace bearings if needed. Tune tractor and truck motors or overhaul them if they need it. Repair hay forks, dericks, hay nets, wagons, trailers, beet drills and diggers. Ditchers, beet loaders and manure loaders are something any group of farmers can use. If you can use one. get together and come in to the shop and make yourself one, the instructor said. "If there are any other labor saving devices or farm equipment you need, come in and tell us about it. We'll do all in our power to help you get it or help you make it," Mr. Skinner added. "Tell your friends and bring them with you to the high school shops. Monday, January 10 and lets put your equipment in repair now."

Over 400,000 pound bags of sugar was manufactured. have Operations been quite satisfactory despite some difficulty in getting full crews, under present labor conditions, according to Orson A. Christensen, district manager of o the Sugar Co. The beet crop is one of the best harvested for the Garland factory district, in the 41 operating campaigns, with an average yield of nearly 18 tons per acre and quite uniform over-a- ll acreage. There are many growers who qualify for Club. Sugar conthe Twenty-Totent is less than average, but sugar per acre still remains the record high. The use of segmented seed can be credited partially for the high yield, it is thought and the season has been favorable. The presence of the high percentage single plants which grow from segmented single germ seed are more vigorous and proceed to grow without the "mauling" which is necs-sar- y to hoe close and hand pick the clusters of beets emerging from the natural seed with several germs in each seed unit. The high percentage of single plants also reduced the thinning time and d work approximately as is expressed by growers who have been interviewed on this point. The company is providing for the 1944 planting, seed which has been processed on improved machines and graded to higher percentage single units and germination, eliminating the lighter, less vigorous seed. Drill mechanism has been devised to plant the seed in equally distributed spaces. About twenty improved drills can be provided for 1944, but the standard drills can be adjusted to do a pretty good job of planting the improved seed with much the same results as reported.

E. Smith, principal, reported Tuesday. The school, says Mr. Smith, has been acredited with this association for the past six years, but has been advised each year that some feature was not entirely satisfactory, usually the complaint was that some teacher had too many students. This year thf re was no such advice. The school's being accredited with the Northwestern Asosciation is a distinct advantage to Bear River students, Mr. Smith says, as they are admitted without exam ination to other schools and colleges. Advanced military training schools, in asking for high school records of students, always want to know whether the school Is an accredited school.
