Following the announcement of the government pure food inspectors that apples could be shipped out of the valley if carefully wiped and would test below the tolerance, practically every apple grower began making preparations for picking and shipping. The crop is not as heavy on an average this year, as it was last, and in several of the orchards the apples are not as high a quality while In others, the quality Is much better than in former years and some very choice apples are being shipped to the eastern markets. Crop Pest Inspector, Eph White is making an inspection tour of the orchards and so far he has found the apples to be of a high quality. He reported there was less San Jose scale in the" county this year than there has been for the past fifteen years and thought this was due to the. fact that county commissioners purchased , a county sprayer this spring. More orchards were sprayed this year than in former years, and he thinks with another county sprayer in operation, this dreaded disease among the apples would be entirely wiped out within a year. He reported W. E. Wood of Elwood has one of the finest crop of first class apples in the county and there are many other orchards almost equally as good. To date twenty-seve- n carloads of apples have been shipped to eastern and coast markets and although practically all were shipped as a combination grade, they were bringing a good price.

The Democratic platform follows: Brigham City, Utah. October 21st, 1927. "We the Democrats of Brigham City in mass convention assembled this 21st day of October, 1927, hereby . adopt the following platform: "We commend the present City Administration for the efficient manner n which the affairs of the City have been administered. We point with pride, to the fact that the only taxes levied for City purposes in 1927. were to provide interest and sinking fund to meet inpayment of the existing bonded of sum $340,000.00, debtedness in the and to provide for the maintenance of the free public library. Both were of obligations created by direct vote our citizens, and are required by law to be met from a general tax levy. "We commend the present mayor and council for restoring the $4000.00 Cemetery Trust Fund which had been converted by a previous administration to the general fund. By this action the outstanding obligations of Brigham City were reduced $4000.00. We pledge our candidates to maintain our public utilities in their present high state of efficiency, and if possible to evolve a more aconom-icwith plan for their operation, the end in view of maintaining efficiency at the lowest cost. er W. II. Cleave suffered minor cuts and bruises and narrowly escaped j serious injury Friday night at about, 7 oclock when his; car collided with a horse on the highway west of the Elimination of .the freshman and sophomore classes at ,the University of Utah and the establishment in the state public school system of junior colleges to take thier place was ably discussed at a meeting of the board of regents of the university Monday. A resolution was passed authorizing the chairman to appoint a committee to Investigate and report on the udvisabillty (of making this change at some convenient time In the near future. President George Thomas of the university is to be chairman of the committee. D. H. Christensen, a member of the board, advanced the idea and presented the resolution. In urging the action on the matter, he pointed out the need for some solution to the growing problems of taking care of students, due to increasing enrollment. Mrs. Christensen explained the function which had ..been filled by the establishment ofthe junior high school in the public school systems of this state and others and 'how tho increased enrollment had been taken eare.of Iij the lower grades. Several years following the establishment of these new units in the school organization, he stated, thal onward moving army of students, reached the college, and freshman and sophomore classes so Increased in number that buildings at the university became Inadequate to meet the needs. Hence, the same problem has arisen at the university that confronted the public schools some years ago, and It is probable that the solution must be made in much the same way, he said. The definite needs of this Intermediate group, Mr. Christensen polnt-te- d out, like that other intermediate group In junior high schools, lias had substantial recognition and today, 200 junior colleges have been established. In the United States. Several are to be found iu Utah Including the Branch Agricultural college and several first class denominational schools. The Junior college is no longer an experiment. It is a fixed part of the educational scheme In many states, and the number Is growing rapidly. Mr. Christensen in closing, enumerated among the advantages to be gained by the establishment of junior colleges, the following: It would facilitate the distribution of freshman and sophomore college classes throughout the state in closer proximity to the homes of these younger students. It would make the University of Utah, In fact, as it is now in name, the head of the public school system of the state, by enabling It to deal entirely with the advanced students of junior, senior, and graduate groups. It would solve for many years to come, the question of adequate class room at the university, and better established graduate courses would offer facilities for advanced students to do their research work In the. home Institution. It would place the University of Utah and the agricultural college into two distinct lines of work, thus removing any occasion for rivalry or hurtful competition. It would enable the agricultural college of Utah to expand Its work and to offer preparatory work In all courses now offered at the university at' a per capita cost of instruction below that at the University of Utah under present conditions. . Xi Friars Club Organized On Campus at U. A. C.
