This activity will apply to all sections of the district covered by the excepting north Sanpete, vkere approximately 1300 acres have matured and digging was started Wednesday of this week in the northern end of the district.

WATCH SAUNA! condition, S. 89 junc- the opening of the harvest next Monday both San- pete and Sevier valleys will present a scene that will rout old man depression for several weeks at least. In order to mature the beet3 properly, the contract for deliveries will be in effect until October 17, and only growers receiving notice to harvest will be allowed to start digging before that date. It i3 pointed out that many of the beets are still showing a rapid growth, and at this time are developing a higher percentage of saccharine which will be beneficial to both grower and manufacturer under the terms of the contract. Many of the patches have been tested for sugar, and the reports are highly gratifying, and it is figured that further growth and development will increase the sugar content. Conditions throughout the district, during the growing season the past summer, have been above normal years. While there was an anticipated shortage of water, no real suffering resulted, as several thousand acre feet of extra water was made possible for the valley crops by rental from water owners of the Delta district. Timely showers, at opportune times during the summer, aided materially in developing the huge crop, and altogether conditions have been better for the 1932 crop than for many years past. Tlie big mill at Centerfield, with expert crews working for two months or more, has undergone a complete renovation. A test given last week, when steam was turned on and the entire plant put into motion, demonstrated that all parts are in fine shape and ready for the campaign. The plant will be started on the campaign just as soon as sufficient beets have been delivered to warrant steady grinding. Indications show that production of tonnage to the acre will average better than for years, as the growth has been prolific. It is expected that some 75,000 tons will be harvested and that the mill will be kept buzzing for at least 80 days. Recent published announcements of an extension of time in the payment of government seed and feed loans in other sections of the United States have created the misunderstanding that a moratorium or extension has been granted borrowers living in the territory covered by the Salt Lake City regional offices. In some districts where small grains are largely grown and where entire crops were dried up due to drought, extensions were granted, but this does not apply to this territory, and borrowers will be expected to pay their loans as agreed at the time of receiving them. Feed loans were due September 20, 1932, and seed loans will be due on November 30, 1932. The Salt Lake City office will, however, consider extensions to borrowers whose crops have been destroyed by hail or other causes beyond control of the grower, and each such case will be considered on its own merits. Loving Tribute Tor Mrs Brandt Solemn funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Second ward chapel for Mrs. Caroline Brandt, who passed away at a Salt Lake hospital Wednesday of last week. The body was brought to Salina and taken to the E. W. Crane home, where it lay in state until 2:30, and many friends called at the home before the services. Bishop T. L. Black was in charge the last rites, and after the opening song and invocation, Miss Stena Scorup and Will Crane, of this city, and Carl Mattsson of Richfield, gave addresses. Each of those making talks were personal friends of Mrs. Brandt, and the beautiful life she had led wa3 portrayed in words and kindness and laudation. Mrs. Will Crane gave a life sketch of the one who had been called. A beautiful and appropriate program of musical selections was given during the services. James C. Jensen gave a solo, Lay My Head Beneath a Rose, and a selected quartet, Mrs. Clayton Rasmussen, Mrs. Edra Taylor, S. J. Ottley and A. C. Prows, gave two selections, Silver Threads Among the Gold, and O, My FaInvocation was offered by ther. Jesse Steele, and the benediction was pronounced by Amel Jensen. Following the chapel services the remains were taken to the East cemetery where final burial rites were held, the dedicatory services being conducted by G. W. Bloomquist. Pallbearers were D. G.

B. Zimmer, who holds large interests in the Great Western Salt company, and who came west just for the purpose of seeing the west and inspecting his interests. Mr. Zimmer, who resides at Chicago, was accompanied by Mrs. Zimmer, and the two were on a hurried vacation trip. While here they were guests of General Manager E. S. Wright of the salt company, and Mrs. Wright, at .heir home in Redmond. Mr. Zimmer spent a day at the workings of the salt plant and inspected the new unit which is being installed. The huge mountain of salt, where millions of tons of stock salt have been exposed, was an inspiration to the visitor and he was more than pleased with the conditions as he found them. One who has made a large city his home practically all his life and has never visited the west, where freedom reigns, and where one can see nature in its glorifying beauty, is missing a real treat, said Mr. Zimmer. The trip by motor across the prairies and then into the mountainous region is a real inspiration and we propose to make another trip westward as soon asl we can. Business conditions in the east, Mr. Zimmer stated, were on the incline, as is shown by the business increases throughout the manufacturing districts. Business men show encouragement and the general trend is for an increased volume. Mr. and Mrs. Zimmer came west over the Lincoln highway, and returning they took the Pikes Peak highway.

This top has an average moisture content of about 85 per cent when first cut It is thrown into windrows when the beet is topped and from then on its moisture content and nutritive value depends largely on weather conditions and methods used in handling it. In many cases much of the feeding value is lost. Gathering the tops from the windrows Into small piles in the field insures against much loss caused by trampling, drying, scattering and blowing, while the piled tops, if covered with snow, are readily found whether they are to be pastured in the field or hauled and fed in dry lot As a rule, they cure well if piles are not larger than an Inverted wash tub. Beet tops may be stacked with thin layers of straw or may be ensiloed. Neither method is used to any extent at present and most tops are pastured in the field or hauled and fed in dry lot. Beet top silage like alfafa silage spoils quickly when exposed to air, and unless it is fed very carefully causes considerable scouring. Tops stacked with straw have been stored very satisfactorily but more work to determine relative feeding value is needed. The ordinary white mold that forms on stacked top3 is harmless. In feeding tests conducted at the experiment stations, it has not killed guinea pigs, rabbits, sheep or cattle. Sugar beet tops are usually fed to range livestock during the fall months in the early part of the fattening period. They return a much higher value when pastured or fed with proper supplemental feeds than when pastured or fed alone. Because of the possible variation in moisture content during the feeding season, they are generally considered in terms of top3 per ton of beets produced. The tops from 14 ton of beets, if there is little or no waste, will furnish feed for 1,000 lambs for one day. If lambs have access to stubble land, then the tops from seven tons of beets and one and acres of alfalfa stubble and small grain stubble should carry 1,000 lambs for one day. Lambs pastured or fed on tops and life. Each scene is a brief dramatic episode selected from the most striking period in the life of some of his notable progenitors. Each group of the characters in the 18 scenes will be garbed in the costumes of their own period of history. A special committee has made a study of this so that characters represented will be his- will gain from fifteen-tenth- s to pounds per head daily. In good weather lambs pastured on tops have made heavier and cheaper gains than lambs fed tops in dry lot. If tops are hauled and fed in dry lot, it is not good practice to feed them through panels. Lambs pull roughage two-tent- many through and trample and waste them. It is best to scatter over clean straw in the pen just what the lambs will clean up each day. The tops from a ton of beets fed with grain and alfalfa will replace about 20 pounds of grain and 100 pounds of alfalfa, provided there are no tops wasted. According to general feed prices then, tops would be worth from 50 cents to $1.00 per ton of beets produced. The feeder purchasing tops allows for loss 3ue to possible weather conditions, consequently, tops rarely sell for over 50 cents per ton of beets, produced. Weather conditions are a big factor in determining the value of pastursteers pastured ed tops. under ideal weather conditions required tops from only six tons of beets and 317 pounds of alfalfa hay to produce 100 pounds of gain. The next fall, with severe storms, it took the tops from 24 tons of beets and 2,137 pounds of alfalfa to proTwo-year-o- ld duce like Thomas W. Simper Answers Last Call Thomas William Simper, widely known throughout Southern Utah, and a resident of Salina for many years, died at his home here Thursday morning of last week at the age of 75. Notwithstanding the fact that he had been a sufferer for a long time, lie became seriously ill and was bedfast before the end came. He had suffered from chronic bronchitis and complications, which resulted in his death, Mr. Simper was a native of England and was bom October 27, 1857, at Cholworth. With his parents he came to the United States when but eight years old and settled at Salt Lake. Later he came to Southern Utah and became interested in the cattle business, having been put in charge of a herd of 600 cattle. The experience gained fitted him for a larger business and he soon became the owner of many hundred cattle and horses and his name was familiar through the west for his successful career. During, his early residence in the southern part of the state, and when the Indians were rampant, he fought bravely and hard for the protection of his stock interests. He finally acquired large holdings in Salina canyon and the past several years has been operating a ranch there. Mr. Simper was married to Mary E. Merrick at Price some 45 years ago, and then he brought his family to Salina. Mrs. Simper passed away in September, 1930. Surviving are Miss Esther Simper and Mrs. W. L. Ince of Salt Lake, d Mrs. Wm. Thompson, George and Simper of Salina. A brother, Dan Simpler, of Murray, nineteen grandchildren and three are also survivors. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2 oclock from the Second ward chapel, with Lloyd Ivie in charge. Eulogies to the life of Mr. Simper were paid by K. W. Bird, Ira Rasmussen of Salina, and Edgar Sorenson of Aurora. The opening song was given by the choir and a trio was The Vacant Chair, selection, given by Ivo Anderson, LeRen Cushing and Dale Prows.

Colorado station it payed best to haul the tops and feed in dry lot, but with normally only one bad fall out of five or six, it would be cheaper from the feed value standpoint to pasture. It undoutedly pays to pile tops in the field, good weather or bad, but pasturing or feeding in dry lot is still a matter of preference. Tops ensiled in a trench silo were fed to cattle at the station for several years. They spoiled easily, caused scouring and did not give general satisfaction. Tops stacked with thin layers of straw have produced a juicy, palatable feed that has given good results in the fattening ration. There has been practically no waste with tops stacked in layers and with h loose straw beof layers tween. Tops stacked fairly green have produced the best silage. Fairly dry tops may charr in the stack. Cattle consume both tops and straw if straw is not used too extensively. six-inc- two-inc- h at the burial rites. AUXILIARY HEARS REPORT. An interesting report of the National meeting of the American Legion Auxiliary unit, held in September at Portland, Ore., was given at the regular meeting of the local organization by Mrs. Edwin Peterson Monday night.

Elton Taylor, who vas seven1 years of age Wednesday, wras assisted in celobarting the event by fifteen of his playmates, who played games and were served luncheon in the afternoon at the home of Mrs. Anna Christopherson, with whom he make his home. Elton is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Owen Taylor. t Dangerous points at the intersection of the state highway and Main street in Salina, are to be repaired and a bad correction is to be remedied to guarantee safety to motorists. Under orders of the city council, more than fifty feet of wooden pipe on West Main street and an equal amount on State street, north of Main street, was removed Wednesday and iron pipe was substituted to guarantee stability after being covered with cement paving. District Engineer Gam, who was here the first of the week, ordered the pipe improvement made in preparation for the building of cement additions at Che intersection of the two principal streets. It has been announced that the cement, which is now but 18 feet wide, will be broadened 18 feet or more, 9 feet to be added to either side, which will carry the cement near the curbing. This will be built for a distance of fifty feet from the intersection west. Entering Main street from the north on the state highway, and for a distance of fifty feet in length and nine feet wide, will comprise the other improvement. This particular point has been a source of danger ever since the building of the highway through Salina, and of late huge holes, through heavy travel, have resulted, malng the turn a dangerous one. Work on the secondary highway, between Salina and Scipio, is now well under way, under the supervision of Don Hickman. A big crew of men are busy widening, grading and in some points cutting out abrupt curves between the shearing corral and the Millard county line. This project was provided for at the last session of the legislature and is a state project, being financed through funds from the gasoline tax. Just as soon as the highway is completed, Mr. Hickman stated, the crews will be brought to Salina to complete the project at the intersection of Main and State steets. All work is being done by local labor and the program will prove a big help in providing work for the unemployed. - RETURN TO HOMES. Mrs. Chester Myers and Durrall Brandtj who have been in Utah during the illness and death of their mo- ther, Mrs. Caroline Brandt, left Wednesday for the west Mrs. Myers is spending the year in Los Angeles, and Mr. Brandt will return to his home at Seattle. Mrs. Adelia Osborn was a recent guest of Mrsj Joyce Osborn. She was enroute from Salt Lake for an extended visit at her former home in Escalante. Beaver Club Bucks At Eleventh Hour While thousands of fans were watching the New York Yanks the Chicago Cubs in the final of the world series at Chicago last Sunday, hundreds of eager fans in Salina were awaiting the arrival of the to make good a promise that had been scaled with a certain amount as a forfeit for a series with the Salina Salts. Not only did Beaver make the dastardly forfeit for the Sunday bout, but after all arrangements had been made for the Salina boys to go to Beaver last Saturday word was received that there would be no play on the part of Beaver, and the bet wa3 off. No plausible cause has been received as yet by Manager Mel Anderson for Beavers refusal to carry out the agreement, and fear of defeat can only, be assigned for the abrupt acts of the Beaver bunch. The announcement that Beaver had quit, and after the game at Salina had been widely advertised, caused much disappointment among the fans in Sevier and Sanpete counties as the brags" made by Beaver of the prowess promised a fast game and many had gathered here only to meet disappointment. The Salina boys took the Beaver-ite- s to two good defeats early in the ball season and were confident they could repeat. Beaver, however, through fear or through selfish motives, refused squarely to live up to her agreement lam-bla- st Bea-veril- honest-to-goodne- ss es |
