TOLLEY Activity Business During Past Month; Extra Workers Are Used. "Increased building activity in the western states has strengthened the demand for plaster according to Ray Gadd, local manger of the Nephi Plaster and Manufacturing Co., with the result that 2,812,766 pounds of plaster was shipped from this plant during the month of March." This is an increase of 25 per cent over March 1934, and 50 per cent over March 1933, which shows that the building business is grad-ualImproving and consecquently the manufacturer of building materials is able to hire additional men and do their part in returning posperity to this country. Manager Gadd stated Thursday men were on the that twenty-nin- e payroll for the month of March, as against tewenty for February which i3 almost an Increase of fifty per cent over the previous month. Of this number, almost half of them were under the direction of J. E. Macfarlane in the mining of raw materials, while the balance were used in the manufacturing of plaster and in the sacking and loading of the product. February of this year shows a slight gain ovter February of last year, but the March business showing a real gain is due primarily to the Increase in building activity in the western states, and it is quite probably that the business will show a gain during the entire year, according to the local manager The local company are making several improvements at the plant, one of which is the construction of a diversion dam which will divert the water into a canal just below the mill and which will be used to operate an electric generator at the old flour mill, and the power generated used at the mine for lighting purposes, drilling and operating the tramway. A gasoline engine is now being used to operate the generator at the old flour mill. The payroll for March at the local plant amounted to $2,200.00, which is a considerable sum at the present time and the men who are employed at that plant certainly appreciate the opportunity of being able to earn a llvllhood. The business men of this city are also apppreciative of the Industry and are hopeful that the business win Increase until the. plant has to hire more men, which in turn will benefit everybody concerned. Proof of the wonderful cooperation between the company and men is the fact that" all during the years that this plant has been In operation there never has been a labor dispute, and the men and the officials have always been in a very harmonious attitude toward each other. yl 4 Maureen Kendall and Margaret Ririe, students at the Utah State Agricultural College at Logan came down Sunday to attend the funeral of I.

Sells 4 Sweetclover Helps Solve Shortage Of Alfalfa Seed Sweetclover will be a good hay and pasture crop for many farmers to start this year. It can be grown wherever alfalfa and red clover will grow and can substitute particularly for the latter, of which there is a seed shortage this year of about 10,000,000 pounds, on the basis of estimates of the United States department of Agriculture. There is enough sweetclover t seed approximately .250,000 acres in excess of the normal annual of about 2,250,000 acres. planting The seed will cost less than one half as much as that of alfalfa or red cover. Sweetclover has the advantage over soybeans of being a biennial and of requiring less labor in preparing a seedbed. Disking the soil preparatory to planting sweetclover is preferable to plowing Disking leaves a firmer seedbed preferred for the small grass seed and cjover seed. Sweetclover spring sown on wheat or rye is an ideal plan. Scarified seeds should not be planted until freezing weather is past .Sweet-clovalso can be seeded with oats or barly in the spring. The sooner any grain crop can be removed, the better. Sweetclover fits best on high, which are not dry and poor soils acid. A large percentage of all poor soil is too acid for clover, according to L. W. Kephart of the Bureau of Plant Industry. Nearly all of the lands in the lower Mississippi and the Ohio valleys, and to the south and east, requires liming to grow sweetclover.. Sweetclover is particularly at home in the eastern part of the Great Plains. It is an excellent green mainure crop, releasing phosphates in the soil unavailable to other crops. It is of special value preceding alfalfa. Sweetclover is a much better emergency crop than alfalfa. It is almost certain to produce one good hay crop the first year and much more pasture er 4 Foreman Is Named For Levan Ridge Experiment Station Cale Johnson of the Utah State College experiment Agricultural station staff has been selected as foreman at the Nephi Experiment station, according to Superintendent A F.
