Utah Stat- - Press Association Holiday Deaths Break All Records Counting the total number of traffic casualties, drownings, fire accidents and deaths classified as miscellaneous holiday accidents, was not an easy job this year. The final count by the National Safety g council showed the staggering and total of nearly 1,000 jiersons killed in the United States during the three-- . day Fourth of July holiday. That total does not include several thousands who were maimed, broken and left unproductive for the rest of their lives. The reason for this unprecedented number of deaths can almost always be blamed to carelessness. Ned H. Dearborn, head of the National Safety council said most of the highway accidents were due directly or indirectly to cheating on traffic rules and i to poor sportsmanship that the nation would not tolerate in a football or baseball It wasnt until we got Moms letter this week that we learned that a typographical error, uncorrected, had resulted in explaining the S.

COUNTY IN IS EXPECTED 1943 100,000 With approximately acres of wheat under cultivation in Box Elder county, harvesting operations will get underway about July 20, for what will probably be a crop, recently retired County Agent Robert H. Stewart announced today. Though there was some damage done to approximately four sections of land in Hansel Valley that reduced the possible yield from 35 to 50 bushels per acre to about 10 by hail, the overall prouction will average about 30 to 40 bushels per acre. Between 35,000 and 50,000 acres of new wheat land has been put into production since 1917 when the total acreage under cultivation was 65,000 acres, Stewart said. Therefore, though the yield per acre will not be as high as on some, of the land this yegr, the total w'ill probably greatly exceed that of the record production of 1947. With prices ranging about $2 a bushel, producers in the county will receive approximately $6,000,000. That figure gives the dry land wheat first place in all of the farming industries in the state. Rainfall during the months of May and June are credited w'ith the bumper crop this year. During June 1.38 inches of rain fell. The average is .76. It is during June that the wheat needs moisture to plump out the kernels. Considerable acreage of the new land was put under cultivation the last several years, however, it is of marginal quality and growing wheat on it at prices lower than they are now would not prove profitable, Stewart said. Some of the land will go back Into disuse if the prices drop. Following the wheat industry in Box Elder in importance county is the dairying industry, it was reported. About 250,000 pounds of milk is being produced in the county daily, which is double the production in 1939, Stewart said. He added, with the amount of feed that is being produced in the county, the dairying industry could be substantially increased. Another major industry Irt- the county is production of stigaf beets. That crop provides part of the livelihood for a goodly portion of the county by means of field work and jobs in the processing mill at Garland, as well as the major income for many irrigated land farmers, the official said. record-breakin- w bat's Going on in ILLARD turned from Salt Lake City, where she went through an operation for the removal of a catarract from her eye. n the same day Beverly high named to was supposed The chameleon to be able to perform such prod- igies of endurance that the Greeks were moved to honor him by calling him chamai-leon- , little lion.
