Show r SOUTH CACHE COURIER trm sion Director, announces. While the main job of these committees wil be to furnish local fanning advice to returning veterans, the committees will work very closely with any groups that administer loans or other assistance programs for veterans. Director Owens points out. The committees are being set up at the request of the War Food Administration after discussion with Selective Service land other federal offices dealing with veterans. Agricultural agents in each county will be responsible for establishing the local committees, and will serve as liaison between the committees and local Selective Service boards and other groups. The committees EXTENSION SERVICE will be composed very largely of successful county farmers. In some SCHEDULES PROGRAM counties already organized committees will perform this function.

Dr. Stark states that in some isolated instances it may be advisable to organize communities or schools into cooperative gardens, as these were rather successful in Utah last year. For further instructions and information on gardening this spring, the bulletin on Profits in Gardening will prove of value to victory gardeners, and copies may be obtained at the offices of county extension agents.

Department of Agriculture have been by Dr. Arvil L Stark, Horticulturist of the Utah Extension Service. ory gardeners should now go ahead and plant the early1 vegetables listed in his gardening bulletin, Profits in Gardening. These vegetables icluding radishes, spinach, cabbage, onions, kohlrabi, parsley, broccoli, peas and turnips. Late vegetables such as wax beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, corn and pole beans may also be planted now. It is important to obtain good seeds and plants, the Horticulturist says. Nurserymen and seedmen have attempted to make available only recommended varieties in Utah this Dr. Stark explains that the late planting season has somewhat mod ified previous instructions to vict year. ... , , of. vegeWith the appearance tables above the soil, insect pests also appear, and these must be fought early in the season. A section of the gardening bulletin, Garden Insect Control, has been turned over to this problem. It was compiled by Dr. George F. Know-ItoExtension Entomologist. Gardners should start to think now about summer plantings, and an emphasis on such plantings is necessary to fully utilize the land and to increase the yield from a home garden.

Adams Professor of Farm Management University of California WITH 1938-194- 0, net farm income now three times that of farmers and ranchers are in an outstandingly fine financial position to buy War Bonds to an extent far beyond the total-g-ood as it is already reached. In the first place, its the patriotic thing to do. Theres no real sacrifice in using money to back the attack. What is a loan of ones cash compared to the sacrifices of the boys who are taking on more than a man-size- d job? Secondly, its the wise thing to do. If history repeats itself and I for one firmly believe it will these present-da- y high net incomes can, after the war is over, go into to levels far below a tail-spi-n what is deemed normal. Over the past One hundred years agricultural earnings have been at normal levels for three to four years for each year of high returns. And note that these returns are net that sum remaining after farming expenses have been paid. Thus allowance is made for higher costs of labor, of supplies, of equipment, of taxes. Without doubt present earn- ings of most farmers are the highest in the history of United States agriculture. , Todays high returns to agriculture make good reading. But with the increased earnings there is bound to be a marked rise in prices for farm properties, in speculative buying of farms, and (again if history repeats itself) in a marked increase in the real estate mortgage debt, followed by mounting foreclosures if and when payments of interest and installments on principal cannot be met Contrary to the views held by some farmers, it is extremely doubtful that we are on a new and permanently higher economic level. World War I was proof of this. So the wise farmer, looking ahead and planning for his future, will reduce his debts to manageable proportions if and when lessened incomes must again be faced; resist the temptation to speculate in farm lands; and create reserves. The reference to resist speculating doesnt mean no buying. There may be need to enlarge a farm, or to acquire additional lands for business reasons. But caution suggests that one not be caught in the excitement of a rising tide of buying merely for spec; ulations sake. That reserve fund can be created by purchase of Bonds. Money thus salted away can create a cash reserve for use when times may not be so good. It will serve as "an anchor to windward for times when cash is an asset. And when isnt it? Bonds can even-tually be used for needed repairs or improvements. Bonds can supply the stake to set sons up in business once they are mastered out of service. Agriculture Is for the time being in a strong financial position. Farmers, these days, are in a position to accumulate substantial stockpiles of crops, livestock, and livestock commodities, but, as well, of good United States Bonds. Think iover. Then invest to your limit in order to insure a real future for your country, yourself, and your children. , roo The Focal Point of every Windows are the focal points of every room.

Guess were pretty lucky in our town, Judge, that we dont have the youth problem you read about in other places. Dont know as you can call it lucky, Harold ... we saw it coming with the war and we did something about it before it hit us. We gave our 'teen age youngsters the recreational facilities they needed and really wanted. Those familiar with this wartime problem know that young folks go to places they shouldnt only when the proper places TU are not provided for them. Young people always want to be with others of their own age . . . want their own type of entertainment. Town after town has found, out that once these simple wants are met, the problem is well on its way to being licked. V Guess I didn't really know how farsighted our town really is. Judge.
