Show ! I , MIVDALLEY ' Mr. George W. Ksplin is at Modena where his sheep are being sheared. Horton HulfM has the contruct for plowing 100 acres for E. M. Corry and i associates in the upper meadow. lie I already has completed about a fourth I of this tract and others are waiting for him to do plowing. The farmers are beginning to see the advantage of the tractor on the farm and are quick !to take advantage of the numerous opportunities they afford especially in plowing. WW A good storm would be greatly appreciated ap-preciated just now as the ground is rather too dry for this ttme of year and causes us to wonder if we are not going to have uny April ihowers, Great anticipation is felt, though for the artesian well prospects and with some good pumping plants an abundance abun-dance of water ought to be secured for culinary and domestic use. We are locking forward to the installation of electricity which will aid greatly this movement. Sheep shearing in the Midvalley farming district has commenced and the sheep owners arc very optomistie in regard to this season's clip. The past year's experience in raising sheep on the farm has proven to a number of the farmers that it pays as the sheep are under the care of some one all the time and prove a valuable val-uable addition to any farm in clearing up weeds and feed that other animals will not look at. They pay for themselves them-selves in a short time and bring in a fair dividend in wool und meat for family use. There are not such heavy '(ism's from cold and a larger percentage percent-age of the lambs are saved due to better facilities for housing and feeding. feed-ing. j. m w op The County Commissioners have taken Up the matter of roads and the Union Field road is now getting some much needed attention. A force of men are now at work and it will be graded from Wm. Grimshaw's west gate south until it joins onto the county road going to Parowan south of the II W.
