We appreciate receiving these letters, and feel that through this means we can become acquainted with our subscribers who have left the valley, and also get a better picture of some of the wonderful people who have been reared in Emery county. Since moving to the county, we have been amazed to find that almost every where we have gone in the state, we can run into someone from Emery county, or meet someone who has relatives in Emery county. It is stimulating to realize that Emery county has produced some of the outstanding personalities of our state during past years. But the thing that is disheartening to us is the sad fact that this knowledge and talent is leaving. It behooves us all to do a little serious thinking on this matter, and discuss it with our friends, in an effort to determine just what the cause is. When we have established the cause, perhaps we can unite and do something about it.

The county of Emery was no exception, and various activities were carried out to com- memorate this organization. Today, as we look hack over Ihc accomplishments of Farm Use 30-Ac- re Wheat Program Outlined Under the recently enacted exemption legislation, farmers whose wheat acreage allotment is less than 30 acres may grow up to 30 acres of wheat for use exclusively on the farm where produced and still not be liable for marketing quota penalties, E. Ray Lyman, Chairman of the State Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, said today. The new provision will apply to 1958 and future crops; it docs not apply to the 1957 and prior wheat crops. To be eligible to grow up to the 30 acres of wheat without penalty, producers must sign an application showing the intended dispobefore the sition of the wheat p planting time on the farm or October 15, 1957, whichever is later. The application must be approved by the ASC county office According to the Chairman, these applications will be available in ASC county offices soon. If a producer signs up for the exemption provision, under the law the entire crop of wheat must be used on the farm where produced for seed, human food, oi livestock and poultry feed. Not more than 30 acres of wheat may be grown on the farm, and none of the wheat may be sold, bartered, or exchanged, nor will it be eligible for price support. The livestock or poultry fed must be owned by the producer, or subsequent owner or operator of the farm. It may not be removed to another farm for any purpose. Chairman E. Ray Lyman explained that the provision in effect under past programs permitting producers to market wheat without penalty where harvestings are 15 acres or less regardless of the size of the wheat allotment will still be available to producers on farms which are net participating in the feed wheat exemption provisions. However, any producer who does exparticnate in the emption provision of the program will not be eligible to market any of his wheat, and the provision will not apply to the farm. Further information about details ol the exemption program is available at ASC county offices. feed-whe- 1958-cro- Emery County School Reports Show Class Enrollment Increase run-dow- Sun., Sept.

Fortunately, Emery county has not received any of the headline making disasters which are prevalent throughout the country, but they have participated, and remained alert in order to be ready for any eventuality. Since civil defense week last year residents throughout the county have received equipment capable of measuring the amounts of radiation in the air due to fallout. These volunteers have also been trained to use th instruments, and have attended schooling covering their use and functions. Observer posts have also been organized throughout the county, with hundreds of residents, both young and old, serving as volunteer observers. As a matter of training and there of alertness, stimulation have been several red alerts received by local observers. Through these practice drills, the system becomes knit together, and functions as part of the over-a- ll plan. The ladies of the county have also been active in civil defense work, with almost every town in the county completing one or more courses in nursing and first aid. The civil defense committee in the county is to be commended for their efforts in this work. County chairman is Sheriff Don Kofford, and ladies chairman is Mrs. Sydonia Kofford of Castle Dale.
