SAUNA, UTAH, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1933 FIFTEENTH YEAR EVENTS NOTABLE TWO ARE OBSERVED SATURDAY Inspector Plans For Rodent Campaign Beginning next Tuesday, March 11, an intensive drive for rodent control throughout Sevier county is to be started, and is to be under the supervision of Clinton Kjar, district agricultural inspector, and S. It. Boswell, county agent for Sevier county. The campaign will be conducted for four days and every section where gophers and other crop destroyers are found, Lack of poison- will be distributed. full cooperation in years gone by has allowed gophers to multiply to a point where great losses are sustained through the ravages of the pests,. Mr. K jar, who visited Salina Tuesday, will seek the undivided cooperation of all farmers in the campaign to reduce the number of rodents, and days set aside, with the time set, have been outlined. Strychnine is to be furnished free, and farmers are asked to furnish carrots, which will be mixed with the strychnine and used as bait for the pests. Farmers, too, will be asked to distribute the poison bait, and Mr. Kjar will direct just how to place it. It is understood that none of the strychnine will be given only for the campaign, which is to be used solely for poisoning the gophers. The program of places and dates, as outlined by Mr. Kjar, is as follows: Washington last ' Saturday, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt took the oath of office as president of the United States,, was just one of the great events in American history occurring on that date. While President Roosevelt was being sworn in, two prominent citizens of Salina, A. C. Willardson, mayor of Salina and operator of the Victory theatre, and Arthur Nelson, genial assistant at the Louis Jacobs department store, were celebrating their birthday anniversaries, and were honored guests at a function that, for real enjoyment, rivaled- that held at the nations capital. The natal day celebration for the Salina citizens included a real din- consisting of juicy steaks, baked potatoes and other delicacies, prepared by D. G. Burgess, Dr. F. 0. Bullock and A. C. Brows, renowned chefs. The festival and celebration was held at the Crosier ranch home, and members of the Sunday evening .club, in addition to the honored guests, were seated at the tables. - . cc-- r Timely Practices For Care of Flocks Redmond, March 14, at 9 a. m.; Salina, March 14, at 1 oclock p. m.; In spite of the present low prices Aurora, March 15, 9 a. m.; Vermillion and Sigurd, March 15, at 1 p. m.; for chickens and eggs, it is still posVenice and Glenwood, March 16, at sible for poultrymen who get a. good 9 a. m.; Richfield, March 16, at 1 p. production of quality eggs to make a m.;i Central and Annabella, March 17, little money above .the cost of feed, at 9 a. m.; Monroe, March 17, at 1 p. according to Carl Frischknecht, assism.; Elsinore and Joseph, March 18, tant extension poultryman of the Utah at 9 a. m.; Sevier and Cove, March State Agricultural college. 18, at 1 oclock p. m. .

The boy, 15 years of age, was picked up in an unconscious condition and hurried to Gunnison, where Dr. Hagan made an examination. Walter died before he was taken from the car, as a result of a bad basal fracture of . the head. The young man was riding with Owen Madsen in what .is known as a basket hayrack, and when in front of the high school building, he decided he would leave the wagon and ride with, his cousin, Bladen Ludvigson, who was following in a truck. Walter climbed through the hayrack at the front and, standing, on the doubletrees of the wagon, made a leap. At this moment the Brown car was passing, and Lott jumped sqifarely on the side of the car. He was thrown violently to the pavement, sustaining the fatal injuires. Both the wagon and car were headed north, and due to the obstruction of view caused by the hayrack, neither the driver nor the boy saw each other. Sheriff Ed.. Peterson was called from Manti, and after quizzing the few witnesses, and learning that Walter had. alighted from the wagon on the opposite side arid in front of the automobile-which had the the officer decided that an inquest would not be necessary, adding that the accident was purely unavoid. able. Walter Lott was bom at Elsinore, May 5, 1918, and went to Centerfield with his parents in 1922. He was a student at the Lincoln school at Cen-tfield, but had not attended sessions ' for. pearly a week.

When Mr. Rasmussen arrived at bis place of business Monday morning he discovered that thieves had been at work, and after investigation he discovered that one of the big tanks had been practically drained. Marshal Jensen was called to the scene and a search for clues was made, but with no results. Mr. Rasmussen was inclined to believe that the job was the work of someone residing in Salina or in a nearby com- ' . munity; That, the thieves, were experts in their work is evidenced by the manipulation .in getting the gas from the tanks. As usual, Mr. Rasmussen locked the hose leading from the tanks, and. believed everything safe. The thieves, however, released the lower hose, and then applied the same method on the delivery hose. With both ends free, the delivery hose was again attached. A wrench was used to do the pumping, instead of the usual attachment. Afterthe tank had been emptied the hose was left, showing the hurry the thieves were in when making their escape. The thieves were favored by darkness, as the electric globe used for illuminating the front of the station was out. . . The theft' Sunday night is the second staged this winter on the Rasmus. sen super service station. . , SALINA MAN MARRIES.

Conoco Travel Bureau Serves Many Tourists By Planning Vacation Trips Representatives of the' Conoco TravBureau, said to be Americas largest and most unique organization for the rendering of free motor travel service, rolled in this cUy Monday aboard a large red, green and whitie bus and immediately began acquainting members of civic" organizations and other local residents with the Bureaus pro. gram for 1933. ' We are firmly convinced that the 1933 travel season will be the most important in recent years and have made elaborate preparations for it, said Robert M. Stack, who is in charge of the Conoco bus. Improved roads sections-of-thcountry, better auand tomobiles, highway and scenic information that leaves little to be desired will all be important contributing factors. The Worlds Fair in Chicago, which opens during June, is likely to stimulate more long distance automobile travel this year than anything else, however.' Accompanying Mr. Stack were Paul llirth, assistant division manager. Salt Lake, WT Q. Tidwell, district superintendent, Richfield, and Joe Dutton, motor transportation division, of Ionc? City, Oklahoma.. Some conception of Conoco Travel Bureau activities may be gained from figures released at the close of 1932. During the past year more than 6 million free road maps were distributed by the Bureau and by the 18.000 service stations which sell Conoco products. All of these stations have been equipped to act as local branches of the Bureau. They are not only charged with the responsibility of selling petroleum products, but also must be prepared to furnish the tourist with all types of local information and show a decidedly friendly interest in his welfare. Branches of the in-al- also to be found in severthousand hotels ' and newspaper .' offices. The number of vacation trips which the Bureau plahned during the past year reaches the astonishing tptal of 143,389. Since each, trip was enjoyed by a group made up of at least three or four people, it is estimated thatj approximately half a million individuals were served. Of this number; 5,891 groups live in Utah and. 2.9,486 visited this state. The statistics also show that 21. of the groups served by the Bureau last year live in Salina; In addition to maps and scenic pamphlets, each group received a Conoco passport, designed to help its members confirm their identity, while traveling through strange sections of the country. In addition, the passport makes it convenient to keep an exact record of each tour. .This handy little booklet is included among the numerous helps which the Bureau provides .free of charge. More than. tVice as many motor trips were planned by the Bureau last year as during 1931. Since a recent survey shows that the average distance covered by each 1932 tour was 3,400 miles, jt has. been, estimated that the total distance for all tours approximates 436 million miles, or more than four times the distance from the earth to the. sun. Motorists who took advantage of Conoco Travel Bureau services during the past year, as well as the large number who have applied for assistance since January 1 of this year, are to be found in every state in the union, as well as a number of foreign countries.

Same Terms As Set Forth In Last Seasons Contracts Offered Growers By Gunnison Sugar Company,. The Gunnison Sugar company, as announced before the Sugar Beet Cooperative association, were highly endorsed by the members of the board. The contract will call for a sliding scale price, the factor of no minimum payments, and the division of income from the sugar ales on equal basis. This plan provides that the grower would receive the income from the sales of sugar in the form of payment on beets, and the manufacturer would receive the other half. The contract for the Gunnison Sugar company will have no provision regarding the trend of the sugar tariff, according to announcement. Forecasting another favorable year, and similar to that of 1932, when water conditions were in favor of the beet grower, indications point to a successful campaign for the local company. Growers have been anxiously awaiting the announcement of the sugar companys plan for 1933, and with the contract in vogue this year as it was in 1932, growers are happy over the fact that the sugar company is carrying out it3 policy by besting any other sugar company in the state, by advancing payments from 10 to 15 days for beet deliveries and aiding in every way to attain the highest possible product- company, op- erating the huge mill at Centerfield, directors of the Utah and which, through a successful campaign last fall, distributed more than a half million dollars among in October and November, has announced the terms of the 1933 beet contract. The contract will be the same as that of 1932, with no minimum price stipulated. This announcement was made Tuesday when the board of directors of the Utah Sugar Beet Cooperative association met with the officials of the Gunnison Sugar beet-growe- rs company. The terms of the Gunnison Sugar Applications For Crop Loans Ready Regulations for 1933 governing crop production loans have been issued by the secretary of agriculture and are to farmers in this county upon request to P. C. Peterson, Jr., field inspector of the Crop Production Loan office. Mr. Petersons office is in Ephraim, . Instead of writing to Washington or to one of the regional offices, Mr. Peterson announcel, farmers can obtain the necessary application blanks for loans, and detailed information about the requirements, direct from him. Applications will then be reviewed by the county advisory committee, then certified and forwarded to the regional office at Salt Lake City for final approval and action. Tho regulations this year specify cannot get loans that elsewhere are eligible for loans from the- $90,000,000 fund authorized by congress; Loans can be used only for crop production, and require the borrower to reduce his acreage of cash crops 30 per cent under last year, unless he does not intend to plant more than 20 acres of com, 12 acres of sugar beets, 2 acres of truck, crops, 8 acres of potatoes, and 40 acres of wheat. The maximum permitted to any one borrower this year is $300 j or, in the easeof tenants, the total of all loans to tenants of any one landlord within a single county cannot exceed $1200. The. actual amount advanced by the authorities will depend upon the borrowers requirements. A first lien or mortgage on the crop will be required. The regulations require that- loans be repaid, on or. before October 31, 1933. Interest at BYj per cent, deducted in advance, will be charged. Since loans call for a first lien on the crop as security, the borrower frequently .has toprocure waivers from prior mortgages or rights. If the applicant is a tenant,' or is farming land under contract for deed or crop contract, or has given a prior mortgage pn his 1933 crops, the regulations state he must secure Ihe waivers of the' actual owners of the land or all prior mortgage holders. If the applicant is the owner of the land and farms it with tenants or share croppers, waivers of such tenants or share croppers must be secured. The regulations further specify that the person waiving his prior rights must agree not to dispose of his rent note, mortgage, or other security without first "having obtained written consent of a duly authorized agent of the secretary of agriculture. The regulations make it unlawful for any person to dispose of or assist in disposing of any crops given as security for any crop loan, except for the account of the secretary of agriculture, and provide for fine and imprisonment for violation of such regulation. The regulations also require that each borrower agree to plant a garden for his home use and sufficient acreage to furnish feed for his livestock. Mr. Peterson, in charge of the crop loans in Sevier county, has announced the dates he will.be here to confer with those who contemplate availing themselves of the offer made by the government. His schedule calls for Salina on Wednesday, March 1C; Mon- now-availabl- - one-ha- lf life-lon- g ion. ' While no stipulated number of acres will be required by the Gunnison Su- gar company through the 1933 contracts,. it has been indicated by growers through the entire district that the acreage of last year will be exceeded by far, as the money distributed in cash payments proved the stimulating effect and aided practically all growers in meeting tax payments and other obligations. The contract announced by the Gunnison Sugar company, it is said, is the first sugar beet contract to be made public in the United States this year. Announcement is made that all business matters pertaining to the company locally will be handled by Hart J. Sanders, factory superintendent, and L. J. Arnold, agriculturist. Wells Cunningham of Ogden, is visiting relatives in Salina. Mrs. Cunningham and daughter have been visiting with Mrs. Bell Sorenson the past month.
