There are several big advantages offered by Labor and Fanners to participate in the net returns of Labor will be any crop. First more eager to perform his duties at a time and an such a manner as to increase the yield per acre on some farms perhaps 25 per cent over what might be produced under slipshod methods, where help is scarce and prices are high. Second if a share contract is made the famer is relcived from the necessity of running around the country from day to day, wasting precious hours and rubber, that are immediately necessary to the beet crop. Third the anxiety and uncertainty of getting that help is expensive and aggravating. Fourth from past experience we have had good yields and bad ones because of the cussedness of the weather and all the elements of nature seems to be against every effort of man. Under this condition is is fortunate for the farmer to sliare in the troubles and participate in the loss of this hazardous crop. Now to offset these advantages to the Farmer, Labor also has the following advantages from a share contract: First he has a house offered without rent, a place he can call home at least for the duration of the contract which are oftimes extended as much as ten years. Second Labor participates in any increase in the production of the crop which gives his a certain pride of ownership which no one will deny. Third it is tragic to observe Laborers traveling up and down the highways moving from place to place with no definite job in these war days, while farmers permit their crops to go un weeded because they cannot find help. Fourth the joint committee feels that Labor should be offered a SO per cent bonus besides the regular fair wage schedule offered by the government as a special inducement for doing good work and taking a chance on the final returns from the crop. This is based upon the money invested as wages up to the time the crop is delivered. On this basis the following schedule is computed and recommended to interested Laborers and Farmers of Box Elder County. We hope this proposition will not interfere with any commitments made by parties already engaged in a contract that is finally signed and agreed upon. ( Continued From Page One) crops to assure help the coming year. Perhaps an explanation for the purpose of this statement it would be advisable to designate the parties concerned, therefore we will call the people who do the beet handwork Labor, and the party owning the land as the Farmer. The Box Elder County Beet Association appointed a joinfc committee to discuss and formulate a suggestive fair participating share contract between laborers and farmers who raise beets. It was thought advisable to include in the terms of the share contract as the duties of Labor, the following terms: Thinning, second hoeing, weeding, irrigating, topping and loading the beets. Any additional work performed by Labor besides that mentioned, it ia understood should be paid for by the farmer at an hourly wage price or by an increase in the percentage of the beet crop. Such" items as manure hauling, buying of commercial fertilizers, cultivating and planting the crops, are items that are the responsibility of the farmers. As yet there has been no definite price established for the 1944 beet crop by the government, but it is anticipated about $1.50 per ton over the 1943 crop will be offered to make beets commensurate with other war crops. the government Undoubtedly fair wage committee will permit at least the proportional share of this increase in price of beets to the laborers who do the hand work. i EAST GARLAND J e Miss Sherma Hansen and Miss Grover spent the weekend home from the U. S. A. C. The Y. G. L. club met Thursday evening at the home of Miss Ardes Adams. Because four members of the group have birthdays in January, the evening was arranged in their honor.

Mr. and Mrs. Kim Mann and daughter, Patsy, visited with Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Hansen on his birthday anniversary, January 6th. Sunday was indeed a quiet day in Elwood. The heating system at the church was out of commission so there were no services held. A number of people from here attended services in other wards.

This schedule ia based upon an average beet tonnage in our valley as suggested by the Sugar Co. of 15 tons per acre with an average sugar content of 16.5 per cent We aie mindful this season has been favorable to a high beet tonnage and a low sugar content, yet these figures are predicted on $11 per ton beet, which we of this valley will not reach this partic-ual- r year. In the past it has been the practice of Labor to pick only the best farms for a share contract, but it is hoped under the suggestive schedule, graduated similarly to the beet topping prices, according to yield, one farm will not be looked toward with any special advan, tage from any other farm, It is understood that the suggested schedule applies to the actual yield of beets produced on the particular farm for the 1944 crop We should mention that in the past we have had many bad white fly years. Because of the resistant seed we. now plant, those reduced yields wall not be recurrent. It is anticipatd that the single germ seed has many positive advantages over our old type multiple germ seed, and this will permit an advantage to Labor not reflected in the history of any farm.

The poultryman states that the 1944 increase in eggs will depend very largely on good management practices, and that good management concerns in the keep of a flock vigorous, pullets or hens in a roomy, dry, and house. Overcrowding ia usually the cause of low egg production, and this "common sin among poultry raisers" brings high mortality resulting in the loss of a large volume of feed each year. "The increase in the number of birds raised in 1943 without a corresponding increase in poultry house capacity has undoubtedly caused an even greater loss of birds and feed than ever before," Professor Alder claims. The solution to this problem lies in culling the laying flock immediately, whether the flock is only 15 or 20 chickens in the back yard or several thousand birds. Market or use in the home all low or he advises; save costly feed, reduce mortality, and increase egg production during the coming twelve months. He states that the pullets should be housed, in their permanent laying quarters before' they get into heavy egg production. Select pullets for the laying pens carefully and keep only the vigorous, early maturing birds. Allow at least three square feet of floor space for each pullet in each pen, as this is the very raini-muspace that should be considered. An ideal space is three and to four square feet. This condition of overcrowding also results in outbreaks of late summer, or fall colds, lowering of vitality, as well as being the cause of high mortality, low egg production and enoromous feed losses for week or month following. well-develop- ed well-ventilat- ed rs, d, m one-ha- lf Mr. and Mrs. Bard Bailey visited over the weekend in Idaho, the guests Vitamins and Minerals of relatives in Pocatello, Blackfoot, Both winter squash and sweet poand Idaho Falls. tatoes are plentiful and both are valMr. and Mrs. Ervin Peterson made uable sources of vitamin A as well a business tr ip to Salt Lake, Tuesday. as other vitamins and minerals.
