City Laundry, adjoining the garage on the north, would go up in smoke, but the quick response of the Brigham fire department not only saved the laundry from burning but prevented damage to other adjacent property, valued at about $35,000. Damages to the garage building are estimated at from $600 to $800, and to. the trucks, from $300 to $400. The laundry was badly smoked up and some clothing and other articles will have to be rewashed, but the damage was not great. In all cases the loss was covered by insurance, it is said. Howell Davis, 20, local CCC man who was repairing the gas line of one of the trucks when the fire broke out, had his arm and wrist badly burned.

Asked when the state expected to stop feeding the animals, Mr. Hansen replied it would be when the deer cease damaging the orchards and left for the mountains. Hay at present costs $11 a ton and the cost is being borne by the state fish and commission. Four herders have been employed to keep deer out of the orchards, Mr. Hansen said. Mr. Hansen also reported five tons of corn have been fed to pheasants in Box Elder county this winter, The corn has been placed at gathering places of the birds such as along roads, stream banks and railroad tracks.

Wild bird sanctuaries will be established in the vicinity of Willomere and the Conner Springs, where these birds will be planted. A movement for the establishment of a northern unit of the fish and game associations was also discussed and President Earl G. Anderson was made chairman of this move. He will call a meeting of all the presidents of game associations in northern Utah, which will be held in Brigham City on March 10th. March 11th. 'A days, Utah's fruit crop brought two to three million dollars a year, but now, due to pests, drouth, and low prices this figure has been reduced a number of times. Drouth and neglect have seriously reduced the productive power of our present orchards. Ignorance of the best methods of orchard management, including spraying, tillage and pruning are responsible for much of the low yields, quality and returns. Most of these handicaps could have been remedied by application of knowledge within reach of every fruit grower; by the choice of location, spacing, nursery stock, planting, and early care of the young trees, Professor Coe pointed out.

CHICKS AND EGGS d, m Interests. IS PERFECTED PROF. COE SAY DEATH cus L. 193G. FRUIT GROWERS WSPAPER MAN ' Brighams DEVOTED TD NO PARTY OR FACTIONBUTJUST TO ALL BALL PLANNED and Daughters of Pioneers Sponsor Sons Social Mar. 6th. By NOEL L. BEN MON For the past twelve years, Brigham Citys Chamber of Commerce has been sponsor of a poultry day for the poultrymen of Box Elder county. This poultry day has not been held in the form of a celebration, but the purpose of the day has been to stimulate the poultry industry through an educational program. For a number or years a regular poultry show was held in connection with the poultry day. But with more emphasis being placed on production-poultr- y and less on the exhibition of birds, the interest in poultry shows has declined, at least from the commercial producers and breeders standpoint. The past two years a baby chick and egg show has been held in connection with the poultry day, and it has attracted considerable interest. Twenty-fiv- e chicks not over seven days old of any breed, and one dozen eggs constitute the entries. The chicks and eggs are judged according to the standard set up by the American standard of perfection. One of the main jobs a hatchery operator has is to cull and grade his chicks after they are hatched. A baby chick show of this kind should stimulate the importance of this job, and should help to make the hatcheries and the buyers more conscious of quality chicks and chicks that are free from physical defects. It should also emphasize the importance of uniformity and vigor and vitality that are so essential for baby chicks. Another very important job the hatcherymen have to deal with is the selecting of hatching eggs. In recent years more and more emphasis has been placed on egg size and quality, and as a result the hatchery-me- n have had to be more particular than ever as to (lie quality and size of eggs that go into their incubators. This job is so important because of the type of eggs that go into the hatcherymens incubators determines to a great extent the type of chicks that are produced and also the kind of eggs these chicks are going to lay. So it seems as if an egg show is just as important as a baby chick (Continued on page two) Local Woman Great Grandmother at Sixty Friday night, March Gth, is the date set for the grand Pioneer Bali sponsored by the Sons and DaughCordelia Johnson Jensen is perters of Utah Pioneers, and once again woman in the Bluebird dance hall will echo haps the most modestto the point days and Brigham City; modest with the music of she would the tappjng 0f toes in the dances that of extinction.
