Show Thursday. December THE LEADER. Tremonlon, Utah 16. 1S54 Bear River F. F. A. News Hie Creed of the Future Farmers ot America By Duane and Jrsse I believe in the future of farm: ing, with a faith born not of achievewords but of deeds ments won by the present and past generations of farmers; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come up to us from the struggles of former years. I believe that to live and work on a good farm is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of farm life and hold an inborn fondness for these associations, even in hours of discouragement I cannot deny. I believe in leadership from and respect from ourselves others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skills as I can secure, and in the ability of organized farmers to serve our own and the public interest in marketing the products of our toil. I believe we can safeguard those rights against practices and policies that are unfair. I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help for others as we; make it so as myself; in less need for Char ity and more of it when needed; in being happy myself and play, ing square with those whose happiness depends upon me. I believe that rural AmericaJ can and will hold true to the best traditions in our national life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring " task. The Motto Learning To Do Doing To Learn Earning To Live Living To Serve PORTAGE by Mrs. Virgil C. Harris LAI) ELL GIBBS ARRIVES HOME AFTER DISCHARGE FROM ARMY LadeH Gibbs, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. llyrum Gibbs, has been released from service with the U. S. Army after serving two years and returned home this week. Ninth Baby was Word received this week by relatives of Mr. and Mrs. DeMour John of Eagle, Idaho, formerly of Portage, that they are parents of a baby girl. This is their ninth child. The grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Thomas P. John and Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Boy Scouts See servation measures a dry farmer Demonstration of Soil and Moisture You can distinguish the fields that were bladed socn after harvest by the small size of the dead Russian Thistles. We haven't measured it yet but we think that a heavy growth of thistles must take at least two inches of water out of the soil from the time of harvest until frost kills them. This water must be replaced for future crop production. A dry fanner Just can't afford to lose this much water. Lets have fewer Russian thistles. This type of tillage also eliminates run-of- f during the spring snowmelt season. When you see a farmer plowing bent rows, don't conclude he's on a bender, for he's really on the beam when it comes to dry farming. Interesting Visitors A while back we had three interesting visitors at the SCS office. They were from the Pub. lie Health Unit located at Logan. They were studying the mosquito that carries the disease of Brain Fever in horses, or Equine encephalitis. These mosquitos hibernate over winter in caves, cliffs and other protected areas. These men wanted a list of the isolated irrigated or marshy areas. We gave them Howell Valley, Snowville, Wights Val-JePocatello Valley and all the small isolated irrigated areas out in West Box Elder. Man is also susceptible to this disease which is the main reason for the study. We have been doing square farming in a round country too long. cA The Boy Scouts and Explorer troops from the Tr em on ton First Ward saw first hand how water penetrates soiL Virgil Francom, leader in his ward requested a soil and moisture demonstration. Mr. Veri. Holland, SCS technician pen . med a few brief experiments. He showed the boys the speed with which water would penetrat a sandy, loam and clay soil. They found the coarse sand would absorb water rapidly, the loam slower and the clay very slowly. They also noted that the heavier soils could hold more moisture per inch of soil than the sandy sample. The Boys were amazed at the difference in the feel of these soils. It was brought to their attention that different soils must be handled differently. The type of irrigation systems must be planned to fit the soil type. "Don't overdraw on your basic bank account your. soil." Fall Tillage of Stubble A large acreage of stubble has been chiseled or bladed this fall. This is one exceptionally good conservation measure that has spread like wildfire. It is also one of the best single soil con- - Clark. i Style y ' (" V 61 Only 9.98 lo these velvety slippers.
