He said in those days that the farmers planned to apply a coat of manure at least every second year. believe that manure does ,so much more than these new commercial fertilizers, he said, in the. type of soil we have in and around Brigham City. It was then that we told him that manure would do something to our soils that commercial fertilizers wouldnt do and this was At 7 oclock the other morn ing we found Leslie Reeder in his brother Martins barn in Brigham City. He was cleaning the barn. He said that he just had to keep busy doing something as he had been busy all his life, and he wanted the manure which had collected there for several years.

Elder JOURNAL Brigham City, Utah i r Friday, November 2, 1956 the improving of the soil con? dRion. A. coat of organic material is needed to help the structure of our soils that are raising crops. Soil Is nothing more or less than small particles of rock an d if they ape devoid of organic material and plant nutrients little crop growth can be expected, Barn yard manure helps make for a better home for plants as well as feeding them. Mr. Reeder told us that in the early days of his youth whph all the work of producing Sugar beets was done by hand, they received $4.00 per ton. They loaded and even unloaded them by hand at the railroad station in Brigham City. There were no . - ' ' -- thought this was really modern , living, About this time his neighbor, E. N. Marble, came over and wanted Us to look at an apple tree that he is having trouble with. O n the way over, we noticed a native cedar tree that he had pruned to give an unusually good appearance in his yard. We asked him about this and he told us a number of years ago he had pulled this tree to use as a whip in driving cattle. He used it to whip the cattle with for a couple of days and then threw it to one side for a day or two, then decided to plant it and see if it would grow. We have thousands : care and management would make them a plant of beauty. Then,, too, many of these juniper trees are unwanted on the range land and where grass is capable of growing. Our local ASC office will pay a farmer to eradicate these pests. We found the apple tree Mr. Marble was asking about had three limbs on it that had been winter killed last fall when the minus zero weather had occured in the early part of November. Even though the branches came into leaf last spring and appeared to have lived, it died during the summer months. We suggested that he cut these off as they .will be a place for Insects and disease to propigate. Made a survey with Dr. George Knowlton of the USAC to determine whether the spotted alfalfa aphid was in our county. This is the new pest that invades the alfalfa and where the numbers the are built up sufficiently crop is rendered useless. It is not the aphid that causes the damage so much, but a disease of mildew that follows. We found ihem wherever we looked as we swept a number of fields with a bug net in Harper, Honeville, Bear River City, Corinne and Brigham City. We also found a fairly heavy population of pea aphids which are normally not harmful unless the population is heavy. say that ordinarily a 100 population of less than aphids per stroke of a Ento-moligis- ts h insect net does , not . result.. In oconomic injury to alfalfa. The pea aphid is a tiny, n insect light apple-greeindividuals are only about inch long and are slightly more than a third as wide. The spotted alfalfa aphid is as large as the about lk to pea aphid. It is whitish yellow or pale yellow with darker spots along the back. Heavily Infested piants glisten from a ; sticky honeydew excreted by these aphids, which is conducive to bacteria and fungus growth. Salt Lawe county experienced some fields where damage occured from these pests last summer. We sincerely trust that our weather conditions, are not favorable to this ,pest, which was found in New Mexico in 1954 and has spread from there soft-bodie- d, Full-grow- 2-- north.: ' nn 3 U1 'ill v few years of these trees on .our .foot hills ,igns of beet dumps-later lie said that they built a and in our mountains which litil frame dump where they could be used in our yards and by coyd pull up on it with the wa- gardens to an advantage gons and dump the bests.
