Show Sanpete Organizes To Purchase Cattle Cattle in Sanpete county, which will be threatened with starvation due to the drouth and shortage of feed, are to be gathered up and sent to the slaughtering pens in Salt Lake, and those that are fit will be cured and stored and later doled out to the needy during the winter months, as the demand requires. It is not generally gen-erally believed that the herds in the county will be greatly reduced, as farmers are pretty well prepared to care for their cows. An organization has been completed complet-ed in the county for the purchase and slaughter of the livestock under the government relief program. A. E. Smith, Juab county agricultural agent, has been appointed relief director di-rector for Sanpete county, and Donald Don-ald Cox of Manti will serve as assistant as-sistant to Mr. Smith. The advisory council will comprise Stanford Mad-sen Mad-sen of Manti, Thomas Rigby of Fair-view, Fair-view, and A. J. Rees of Wales. The appraisers have been named as follows: John W. Irons, Moroni; Thos. W. Jensen, Mt. Pleasant; George Sor-enson, Sor-enson, Ephraim, and Robert Johnson, Manti. W. E. Thorpe of Ephraim, is designated desig-nated veterinarian. Offices are being opened in Manti in the county building build-ing on the corner of Main and Second Sec-ond North. |
