The meeting was conducted entirely by the memners of the Seminary class, and much credit is due those who participated in making it so instructive and entertaining. The subjects were treated in a manner that would have been creditable to much older students of the Bible than were those who took part. Alfred Fotland presided at the services, arid the opening prayer was by Carl Harris. The Old Testament was treated by Marva Hodson and Mary Giles, and the New Testament by Sewell Hawkins, Eleise Stewart and Edna Farrer. Church history was taken up by Maurice Jones. The music was under the direction of Prof. J. W. McAllister and was as follows:. Piano solo, Virginia Crockett; a number of selections by a girls chorus, comprised of students of the Provo high J. W. McAllister. The was by James Needham. At the conclusion of the services were congratulatory expressions heard on every hand. The Seminary work in our community cannot help but make for the betterment of our young people by making them acquainted with the greatest of all books, the Bible, said one enthusiastic supporter of the Seminary. When the time comes for- - the registration, let us insist that our young people put Seminary work first on their registration cards. We should get behind the movement and support this great moral factor of the school the Seminary, under the very able direction of j. A. Washburn, concluded the speaker.

STANLEY, ADV, j - - Good Crop Outlook i Says County Agent Utah county gardeners will have banner year, according to J. P. Welch, county agricultural agent. Mr. Welch states that despite the fact that many people believe the wet. icold. spring would lessen the crop, such is not the case. He states that (while the sugar beet acreage is below normal, the growers have displayed more than ordinary wisdom in seorl selection and crop rotation, both, of which will contribute to a heavier yield per acre. , Mr. Welcn also States that the reduced acreage of sugar beets has given fields for other, crops, and, as a result, more vegetables, and especially more potatoes have been planted. The increase in celery alone will be one thousand per cent. which crop promises to increase each year as there is a strong demand in California and other states for Utah county celery, Mr. Welch says. Berries and other small fruits are in' good condition and promise large yield. This is especially true of which crop will be strawberries, much' larger than last year, he says. a You talk of vbur breed of cattle And plan for a higher strain.

An outbreak of anthrax among the cattle of Mr. Will Gay of frovo was discovered recently and reported to jthe state veterinarian. Dr. W. com-A. Stephensen. This disease is not mon in Utah, but occasional appearances are noted. Because of the similarity between it and blackleg the latter is sometimes mistaken for it. In fact, blackleg is often called symptomatic anthrax. Bacteria cultures were made of the disease in Provo and it was found definitely that the original anthrax germs were there. The situation is well under control, it is said. The state office also reports that the J cattle range outbreak in Emery county is pretty well under control. According to a letter received by State Inspector Thomas Redmond from Alonzo Brinkerhoof of Emery, an inspection of the range cattle failed to show farther infestation of this pest.- Utah Farmer. - New Department for Provo Electric Kodak finishing is now a new fea- ture added to the Provo Electric & Hardware companys store.
