After out several being chewed itimes in one day, and things just dont seem to be going right, you feel like taking the lafternoon off to go fishing. In the depth of your anguish you feel like throwing in the sponge, or some other dastardly deed. Then the mail comes. Along with the usual armful and a half of junk mail, a few bills, an occasional check, and a little news, comes a letter that proves to be the healing agent of all our woes. The letter to which we are rereferring, although we have letceived enough other such ters to keep our spirits up, was received last Thursday. As we glanced through the lines of Writing, our troubles seemed unimportant and in the dis- tance. One part of the letter interested us particularly, and it read something like this: , After reading (in your editorial) about the proposed new highway, the Ferron Lions club sent an endorsed letter to Mr. Stacey in Richfield, and I as Immediate past president of Ferron Lady Lions wrote to the Utah State Road Commission. The letter carried ever fifty signatures of Ferron citizens indorsing that it come through Emery County. The letter was sent by Mrs. Eva W. Conover, and she went on to say that she felt the ' people of the county woula rally to a program for county improvement if someone would just lead out. She also suggested that we start a Know Emery County First campaign to acquaint us with our own county. It is very gratifying to see the progress that can be made by a group when they are united toward a common goal, an we feel that with this attitude we will get the federal highway through the county. Elsewhere in the paper today you will find a copy of a letter received by Mrs. Conover in answer to her letter. As a result of this and other action on the part of people in Emery county, the State Road Commission has submitted a proposal that the road be routed through Emery County. This propose was sent to the federal highway commission, and the results should be knowTn within a short time.

Friday, July 20, is the date when growers will determine how they want to market their 1957 wheat crop, Boyd) Christensen, Chairman of the Emery Agricultural Stabilization and Cosnervation county Committee, reminded farmers today. Farmers who will harvest more than 15 acres of wheat as grain on a farm in 1957 are eligible to cast ballots in the wheat quota referendum. Polling place for Emery County is at the local ASC office at the court house in Castle Dale, from 8:00 a. m. to 7:00 p. m. favorable vote A will mean that marketing quotas and penalties on excess wheat will be in .effect for the 1957 wheat crop. Under quotas, too, price support to growers in the commercial area who comply with their wheat acreags allotments will ibe at the full level available between 75 and 90 percent of parity. of the If more than growers voting disapprove quotas, the quotas will not be in effect, and the available price support on the 1957 wheat crop to those who comply with farm wheat acreage allotments will be at a level of 50 percent of parity. When a marketing quota program is in effect, the excess wheat of a grower who does not comply with his farm wheat acreage allotment andl who has mere than 15 acres of wheat for harvest as grain on the farm will be subject to a marketing quota penalty. This penalty will be equal to 45 percent of the May l, (1957 parity price for wheat. emChairman Christensen phasized that the vote is on wheat marketing quotas and not wheat allctments. Whether or not the vote is favorable on the quotas, acreage allotments will be in effect for the 0957 wheat crop.
