He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Brierly. The Verl Buxton family, of Cache County, Utah, is the National AdHome Farmers ministration Farm Family of the Year for 1973. Mr. Buxton, his wife, Helen, and their Five children were selected after a yearlong competition conducted by the Farmers Home Administration (FHA), the rural credit service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Selected from the 38 state winners of the Farm Family of the Year competition, the Buxtons were chosen as the family that most exemplifies the purposes of FHA farmer programs. They have made notable progress from humble beginnings and now make a substantial economic and social contribution to their community. With $2,000 cash for operating expenses and a loan the from his father-in-laBuxtons started farming. Shortly afterwards Verl got a loan from the Farmers Home Administration to build a home for his family, and to refinance some other loans. Today he milks 71 cows and has 74 replacement heifers. He improved his herd as he enlarged it. His dairy herd is now excellent, yielding nearly 16.000 pounds per cow per year. His acreage has also increased. He bought additional land - 82 acres in 1962, 60 acres in 1969, and 80 acres in 1970. For each parcel, he made a down payment and paid off the balance held by the seller before buying the next. He has developed and improved the land until he has one of the most productive farms in the area. He has leveled 71 acres, and placed another M. -- 173 acres under sprinkler irrigation in order to use the water and manpower better. Another 54 acres have been brought into maximum production by installing tile drains. In all, he has intailed 5.7560 feet of wheel movement sprinkler system, 3,600 feet of hand movement sprinkler and 5,4(Hi feet of field drains. These improvements permit Mr. Buxton to raise corn for silage and to maintain adequate forage, which has been basic to his herd increases. He keeps his fields in good shape by crop rotation small grains, corn, and sugar beets. Manure from the barnyard is used to sup- plement commercial fer- tilizer. This keeps costs down, production up, and avoids pollution problems. Much of the success of the farm has occurred from the meshing of various activities. The work was done by Verl and Helen, and their children. The girls helped with the irrigation equipment - hand moved as well as wheel moved. They realized that the wheel system would not only be easier, but more efficient because it could be more readily moved.

The Buxton farm has always been well equipped. much of the Although machinery was purchased second hand, its useful life has been extended through wise and careful maintenance. The entire Buxton family is well known, not only for doing things, but doing them well. Verl built most of the farm parking plaza, l with construction by the same contractors who erected the office building, Christensen Brothers, Inc., and W.W. Clyde & Co. Water has been chosen as the central theme of the plaza to emphasize the extreme importance and value of water as a precious, g gift from God, said President Lee. Seven segments of jet streams will play in varying heights, culminating in one large water display rising to a height of 52 feet above the main water pool. The fountain will become a reflector mi coring the Mormon Temple across the street. Attractive landscaping of trees and shurbs is planned.

Hill Pennsylvania observance coincides with July 24 Mormondom has a new Pioneer Days feature this year: Large crowds are expected to attend special commemorative services at Kane, Pa., July 24 and 25 to mark the little-know- n significant but highly contributions made more than 100 years ago by a native Pennsylvanian to the settlement of Utah and the American West. This man was General Thomas Leiper Kane, who founded Kane, Pa., in the Allegheny Highlands, and named it after himself. He was a central figure in the development of the Mountain West, and even now, Gen. Kane probably is better known in the West than in his own Keystone state. The northwestern Pennsylvania services will coincide with Utahs traditional Pioneer Days celebrations which have spread to Idaho, Wyoming, Co.orado, Arizona, Nevada and California were included in the Pioneer state of Deseret which was celebrated by the settling of the Mormons in the 1840s and 1850s.

This date since then has been Pioneer Day. The pioneer company of 147 trail-blazer- s Brigham recognized was led by now Young as one of the greatest colonizers in history. Thomas L. Kane and Brigham Young were contemporaries, and close personal friends. Young Thomas Kane first met Brigham Young in 1844 when Kane fell victim to swamp fever while traveling the Western frontier, then along the Mississippi, and was nursed back to health by Mary Ann Angel Young, Brighams wife, after being near death. From then on, the two figures in history were close confidants, even though Thomas never joined the Mormon Church, over which Brigham Young presided as president from 1844 until his death in 1877. Elder Young depended upon Thomas L. Kane for counsel in the churchs relations with the federal government and with the young nation concentrated along the eastern seaboard. And Thomas received much help from Brigham Young in the settlement and development of the northwest section of Pennsylvania, centering around Kane, in which he pioneered. serThe commemorative vices this year on July 24 and 25 will be held in the Thomas L. Kane Memorial Chapel, which was dedicated June 2, 1971, in memory of the Pennsylvanian. The chapel was built by General Kane in 1873, with the help of of one his qunts in Philadelphia. He is buried between the twin front steps of the chapel. A film on his life is shown in the chapel, and his family has contributed many of his historic papers and personal effects which also are on display on the chapel.
