E. Peckenpaugh, local chairman of the Tremonton district of the Box Elder County orWar Finance Committee, as personal volunteer worker ganization an croups neared completion for of intensive campaign that can only be successful if it reaches every person in every community. The U. S. Treasury's big push lot war funds will open In Box Elder County, as elsewhere, next and continue through Tuesday, February 15. Utah's quota is That of Box Elder Coun$40,-000,0- ty is $661,500. "Let's All Attack" the drive's fundamental plea will be buy EXTRA war bonds. "It will be the patriotic duty of every home in our county to diplay the red, white and blue shield denoting purchase of extra war bonds," said Chairman PeckeCarrying the slogan, Back The npaugh. This shield can' only be obtained "by purchasing an extra bond, and we "know this will require self denial and digging to the quick in lots of cases, he explained, addi- ng: "But to be without it i to our obligation to our fighting men and to the nation." The Utah War Finance Committee has set a goal of $4,000,000 more investment by individuals than was achieved in the Third War Loan. This means Mr. and Mrs. Box Elder County must account for $376,000 of the total supcounty quota, corporations plying the balance. With the local campaign consequently aimed at the individual as never before, cognet reasons why no person can afford NOT to buy extra bonds are: (1) Higher prices and lowered value of wages and insurance would result if extra money is used to bid for scarce commodities rather than to invest de-ia- "upon in war" (2) orderly financing of the war1 would be endangered unless every person assumes "his share in each war loan; (3) A war bond is the safest investment Mnthe world; (4) Each war bond is a stake in the future security ' of the buyer's family, his children", "and "his bonds; country.

Representatives of all county agricultural federal agencies and member of the Utah State Extension staff met with the County Planning committee and othe people of the county to discuss problems as they relate to Box Elder County agriculture. 3. L. riiman, 01 Bear River City, chairman of the county planning committee, outlined the plT' po;e of program planning and the need for goals in our present war economy. He called for a correlation of programs of agencies and organizations in order that there might be more purposeful activity of all concerned. County Agricultural Agent Robert H. Stewart, reviewed what the program planning has accomplished in past years. He stressed especially the value of a coordinated program with farmers and government agencies. Mr. Stewart cited numerous examples of beneficial programs that have been put over by a cooperative and coordinated effort. ,. Dr. Arvil Stark, Professor G. Alvin Carpenter and Mrs. Lois P. Smith, of the State Extension staff of Logan, participated in the discussions and gave out information concerning state activities as they relate to program planning. Farm goals for all production, as far as it concerns Box Elder County were discussed by all pres- ent Last year an attempt was made through the efforts of an O. S. t". A. class to interest farmers in Vegetable Seed production. With but few exceptions, interest was lacking. The possibilities seemed so great that Mr. Bunnell and Mr. Skinner of the high school Ag Department decided to try the project themselves in the form of a demonstration, The results of this derhoristra- tion proved conclusively that there are rare opportunities of more' than doubling the net per acre income of most farm crops. Also, vegetable production fits well in the local rotation system. hTe demonstration carried on tvas on the John O. Garfield property just east of Tremonton. Crops of Yelow Sweet Spanish Onion seed,, ajid Hansen Head Lettuce were grown-- Th onion seed yielded considerably above the state average, arid more than doubled the average yield of this particular variety grown' in: some of the larger Idaho seed districts. The lettuce seed also yielded high enough to prove it to be a real money maker where proper atten" tion is given it. The demonstration carried on for large amounts of seed with the various seed companies for and the price offered is challenging to progressive farmers for consideration in their rotation system.

H. Fronk, county chairman, Working in cooperation with the state salvage authorities, under B. U.Wood, Shager, jfl repre- sentatives of the U. S. Army, who are providing army trucks and men to collect thf galvHg&d metaL Approximately two weeks after the drive began, these trucks will commence collection of the materials, it Is announced. Neighborhood leaders will again supervise the drive, according to Mr. Fronk. The metal will be deposited in piles of two tons, under the direction of the neighborhood heads, who are as follows: George A. Gardner, Bear River City; Charles Reeves, Brigham City; Alvin Norr, Deweyville; Earl Holt, Fieling; J. J. White, Garland; Oscar Hunsaker, Honeyville; Carl C.

At the present time, adds the salvage leader, 55 per cent of the metal used in manufacturing comes from scrap metals, while the remaining 45 per cent consists of pig iron.
