Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Smtthfield tabernacle and Interment will be In the Logan City cemetery, While Mr. Farrell waa prominent In ' ecclesiastical, political and clvle actlvi ties of hla community for more than half 4 century. It was through his long-co- n tinued and successful work In bringing dry farming in Utah to prominence and stability that he won a rtputatlon and regard extending over the entire region. From the early 70s until about a decade ago, Mr. Farrell made the avocation of producing abundant crops on naturally arid land without the use of aim, and Irrigation his chief object and to be one was heid throughout the west of the foremost authorities on this sub- G forge Lionel Farrell. ' . yeri and 92. 1869 ln Born at Hewelsfleld, Gloustershlre, England, February 1. 1829. the son of William and Alice Sadler (Bird) Farrell, the father dying in the boy's childhood, George L. Farrell brought his mother and three sisters to low a before he reached his majority, living there for a number of years, and then coming to Utah injjl$59. Begins as Woodchopper. The Farrells settled first at Farmington, ivhers It Is recorded that the young man, who had been a ropemakers apprentice and a tanner In England, took a contract for getting out the winter's wood for Amasa N. Lyman, an official of the Mormon church. In I860 Cache county was opened to settlement, and Mr. Farrell left Farmington and want to logon, where his energy and ability soon Identified him with the pioneer and growing community. Ha was tithing -- clerk of Cache stake from I860 till 1880, county recorder of Cache county from 1860 till 1884, postmaster at Logan from 1862 till 1874, served on a. mission to England, 1874-7and was bishop of Siplthfield from 1888 till 6, 1900, It was about 1872 that Mr. Farrell was led to undertal$ his work In the development of dry farming. Despite his many other lines of work, he had taken a contract to construct the grade fur s part of the Utah it Northern, now the Oregon Short Line railroad, and In riding hla horse over the hills In the region near where Collinston now stands, he noted the luxuriance of the grass, although it re- -, reived no artificial Many tlmea on his trips Mr. Farrell dismounted and examined the soil, noting its depth and something of Us composition. He then reasoned that any soil capable of producing so good a grade and quantity of grass ought likewise to grow good He pondered the crops without irrigation. matter for many weeks, but could find no reason to doubt his conclusion, and finally mads application to the Central Pacific, now the Southern Pacific, railroad for a quarter section of the land which the oomnany had secured from the government, This tract was selected because It , bora one of the most choice yields of grass He obtained tltlr to the land, plowed a large part of It and planted the field In rye. The first year's yield was hot equal In quantity to the seed he had water-suppl- sowed. Success Follows Failure. ' Nothing daunted and still maintaining his theory was correct. If only the right seed and the right method of handling the crop could be ascertained, Mr. Farrell put In a second crop, and a second time was met bv almost complete failure. While he was on hts mission to England he had the work continued two more years of failure. When he returned he renewed his effort along tha same line of endeavor. There were six failures and tha seventh year came success. Preliminary to tha seventh year's planting, whtls tha plowing was In progress with six oxen attached to the plow, the beam of the plow was accidentally broken and tha new beam that replaced the broken one was much longer. Horses wars substituted for rattle to hasten the work, and the remainder of the plowing was done at a depth aeyernl Inches greater than was tha part of tha field first turned over. During the development and ripening of the grain. It was noticed that the part of the field that waa plowed deep flour- -, tshed, while the' portion that had been shallowly plowed declined. At harvest 41ms the grain from the deeply tilled soil the remainder the gs vs a satisfactory crop, usual failure. Part of the secret at least been revealed. had that Develops Subsoiling. Following up the Idea Mr. Farrell began the development of aubaotllng, enlarged his farm, which was situated four miles north of Mendon. from the quarter section until It soon contained 1800 acres. It was not planted to wheat alone, hut during many good years hla annual wheat harvest reached In excess of 20.000 bushels and there waa to his credit a dry farm e bushels of yield of more than wheat from a s'ngle measured sere. On the occasion of hla eightieth birthday anniversary. Mr. Farrell organized the George L. Farrell corporation, to which he made a deed of gift of the farm and an Its holdings, protecting hla children's Interests by dividing among them equally the shares of tha corporation. Shortly prior to that time he had developed the rutabaga to a high degree of excellence on his farm, and than reasoning that tha soil would produce these vegetables without water would be Ideal for sugar beets If water could be obtained, he organised another company, partly within the Farrell corporation, and by arrangement with the Utah Power it light company pumped the water from Bear river to a series of canals that raised It to the original farm. This la now cut Into forty-acr- e tracts; many houses have been built and It la the home of twoscore families. Mr. Farrell, who had attended every dry farm congress since the oiganlzation of that body, was tbs author of numerous pamphlets on various phases of the subject, many of these brochures having been w Idely circulated. fifty-nin- End Comes Peacefully. Even after passing the age of 90, Mr. Farrell remained In good health save for failing eyesight, his sons and daughters declaring that, so far as they can remember, hs was never sick a day In his life. When tha summons came Wednesday afternoon. It waa without pain or vexation of any kind, just a gradual fading out of ths flame So peaceful was ths end that those who stood by his bed where he slept saw no sign of paroxysm or struggle; thev saw only that the breathing had Mr. Ferrell, who was married four times, 4U survived by the youngest wife, Mrs. Mary Elisabeth Crowshaw Farrell, and the following children; Mrs. Emms Barber, Mrs. Annie L.

I Child Welfare Discussed. Miss Isabel Pelton, secretary of the Colorado Tuberculosis association, last night spoke on "The Nutrition Side of Crusade Work." Slide supplemented her lecture and Illustrated the effects of proper and Improper feeding of children. She said that 49 per cent of the children in Denver schools were undernourished, and, as a result, were unable to carry on their school work as they should. Undernourishment is caused, she said, by Insufficient food and by food of poor quality. The survey which she had conducted In Denver had aided greatly In Improving conditions among children, whose individual cases were taken up and worked out In an effort to provide the child with normal health. Surgeon Carlisle Patterson Knight of D. C.. representing the Washington, United States public health service, announced as his subject, Underweight Children." He had selected this topic, he said, partly because he desired to disprove the prevailing belief that underweight In In children was caused by malnutrition. most esses, he said. Improper nutrition had much to do with underweight, but there were also other causes, which were to be determined, not according to generalities. but only by Individual studv of the child. He pointed out that decayed teeth, from which resulted indigestion, adenoids, diseased tonsils and nasal defects were frequently responsible for underweight and bad health In children, and that leathers and public health nurses should be constantly on the watch for such cases. Liquor Out John Warrants a i! Infection Causes Discussed. Mrs. Walter McN'abb Miller of SL Louis, chairman of the health committee of the National Federation of Woman's clubs, spoke on "Tuberculosis an Evidence of the Need of Child Welfare Standards," Mrs. Miller said that one of the most common sources of Infection Tor children was The enforcement of the sputum. laws,' she said, should be carried out to the letter, snd that those who failed to observe It should be punished without hesitation. Milk, also, the speaker said, waa a pre alent cause of Infection of children. Infected . milk results from various causes, among them unclean barns and improper handling of milk snd diseased cows. No child, Mr. Miller said, "should be permitted to enter school without a cer fitieate from a reputable doctor indicating that the child Is physically fit, and then the school health program should ba faithfully carried out At 8 o'clock this morning a breakfast of crusade directors will bo held at, the Hotel Utah.
