These were the main conclusions reached by the Utah State USDA War Board in its last meeting at Logan. At the conclave each of the members, among whom were some of the states foremost agricultural leaders, icpoited on some assigned problem, and not all reports were optimistic. Following the reports, which constituted a comprehensive review of iurrent Utah agricultural situation, the board and further made recommendations appointments in an effort to secure adjustments for each problem. One important move made by the board was to authorize its secretary to request the secretary of agriculture and office of defense relations to send representatives into Utah to review the sites of industrial development, some of which are being located on the states most fertile land. The board will propose that certain developments be made on less productive lands if possible, especially if irrigation facilities can be secured for the sites in question. Reed W. Baily, director of the Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment station at Ogden, in his report on the Utah Farm labor situation, said little farm help may be expected from Japanese evacuees from the Pacific Coast coming into Utah. He reported (Continued on Last Fage) Galen and Matilda Murphy, and she married Claud Michelson, in October, 1904. Surviving are her husband, three daughter, Mrs. Mae M. Christensen and Miss Laurine Mickelson of Salina, and Mrs. Chloe Kotter of Milford; two sons, LaVere Michelson of Salina and Leland Michelson of Sat Lake; and two sisters, Mrs. Laura M. Gates of Salina and Mrs. Margaret M. Cherry of Thornton, Idaho. Impressive funeral services were conducted Tuesday in the Second Ward chapel at two p. m., with Bishop Niels P. Nielsen in charge. Miss Stena Seorup and G. M. Burr were the speakers at the services and spoke of the loyal service and devotion of Mrs. Michelson and through the memories of this service will come consolation and comfort to the family. The musical selections were beautiful and the opening song Ill Go Where You Want Me to Go, Dear Mother, by a double mixed quartet from the high school was impressive. Other numbers were: vocal solo, Lay My Head Beneath a Rose, by Drews Anderson; trombone solo, Wonderful Mother of Mine, Lewis Merrill; vocal solo, Wings of Snow, James C. Jensen; vocal solo, End of a Perfect day, Miss Melba Armstrong of Manti. The invocation was given by Arthur Martin and the benediction by Ellis Sanders. The remains were taken to the Eastside cemetery where they were laid in the final resting place in the family plot.

Dyreng, president of the Salina unit of the American Legion Auxiliary, as the Unit prepared for the annual observance cf Poppy Day, Saturday, May 23. The poppy comes to us from the fields of Francewhere Americans first gave their lives in battle against the dictator powers. We wear this little red flower in honor of the men who fell at Belleau Woods, Chateau e Thierry, St. Mihiel, the and other battles of the first World War. We wear it also in honor of the brave boys of Pearl Harbor, Wake, the Philippines, the East Indies and all those who have sacrificed life elsewhere in this renewal of the conflict. we will Meuse-Ar-gonn- The poppy, as you know, was inspired by the poem, In Flanders Fields with its immortal lines: In Flanders fields the popples blow, Between the crosses, row on row. The poppies were the only touch of beauty that survived amid the desolation of the battle front in France. They formed the only floral tribute on the graves of the dead and became for the men fighting there a symbol of heroic sacrifice. This they remain today. The poem ends with the words: If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders Fields. That is their message for us today. We will wear poppies Saturday to show that we are keeping faith. Recent visitors at the Frank Herbert home were Mr. and Mrs. Roland Oldroyd and children, Kendall and Karen of Ogden, Mr. and Mrs. Duyane Buchanan of Venice, and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Tanner and children, Geraldine and Paul of Salt Lake City. Mr. and Mrs. Max Torgensen accompanied bby Mrs. Burdell Dastrup, motored to Salt Lake City Friday and returned Sunday. Mr. Torgensen attended the state democratic convention held in Salt Lake Saturday. 4-- H tree-planti- 4-- H Clark-McNar- 4-- j Sugar Beet Growers Employing Children Must Have Age Proof Evidence of Age Cards Can Be Secured from A. J. Ashman 147 North Main Street, Richfield Sugar beet growers in South Sanpete County who will employ children for work in the beet fields this year will be able to obtain proof of age of such employees by sending them to apply for evidence of age cards from A. J. Ashman, 147 North Main Street, Richfield, Utah. These evidence of age cards will serve to protect growers from unintentionally employing children under 14 years of age, the minimum age set by the labor provisions of the sugar act. With our nation at war, it may be necessary as the sugar beet season progresses to employ in the beet fields young people who do not ordinarily help in this woik. For these young people as well as for others who year after year work in the beet fields, it is important that the safeguards provided under the labor provisions of the Sugar Act be observed. Evidence of Age cards are being issued to growers in order to assist them in complying with these labor provisions. The labor provisions of the Sugar Act provides that if growers are to be eligible to receive full benefit under the Sugar Act, no children under 14 years of age may work in their sugar beet fields, and children between 14 and 16 years of age may work no longer than eight hours in any one day. With the exception of those children in the immediate family of a grower who owns at least 40 per cent of the sugar beet crop, these provisions apply to every child employed or permitted to work on the growers farm in connection with the production, cultivation or harvesting of sugar beets. |
