Tribune June u Among the Interested visitors, Benmore Field Day were cia ? ;Acord, Millard county assistant ncultural agent, Lafe Nielson t Hinckley, Burnis Finlinson ! Oak City, and Leonard Voda'k D ta, veterans' supervisor. Mr wi has visited Benmore on three these 4 annual field days The morning was spent' field, and after lunch a Vml was given at ehadquarters forV cussion of reseeding methods ajj soil and range conservation. Gratifying results in beef produc-tion for the revegetation experi-ment on 2S0O acres of abandoned dry farm at Benmore, Tooele coun-ty, are evident in the fourth year of the project, it was reported Mon-day by Dr. George Stewart, ecolo-gi- st of the Intermountain .Forest and Range Experiment station. The annual field trip to the pro-ject, located near Vernon and known as the Benmore grazing studies, revealed Friday that dur-ing the grazing period from May 1 to July 1 gains have equalled those achieved in feed yards. Scope of Experiment Results are not being cited on the basis of a brief experiment and an inconclusive number of livestock, said Dr. Stewart, who said the grazing period extended 60 or 70 days during each of the summer grazing periods of the last four years and a total of several hundred cattle were used. Leaders of the field trip, which was host to approximately 96 per-sons were: Harry K. Woodward, district conservationalist for the U. S. Soil Conservation service; Dr. Lorin E. Harris, of the animal hus-bandry department of the Utah State Agricultural college, and Dr. Stewart. They represented the three cooperating units in charge of the big project. Attending and expressing en thusiasm over what they saw were stockmen from Weber, Morgan, Wasatch, Tooele, Utah and Millard counties, with a scattering repre-sentation from other places. The Benmore range is divided into fenced areas of 100 acres each and grazes privately owned cattle, which remain on the farms and1 Wedding Is Announced Mr. and Mrs Clinton A.

OASES Mrs. La Veda Bishop Mr. and Mrs. Lee Farr, from Dunsmuir, California; Mrs. Ila Mes-senger and daughter, Elizabeth from Beaver; Mrs. Val Styler and Nella Styler, arrived in Oasis Sat-urday evening. Mrs Styler and Nella went to Dunsmuir, Calif., by train, ten days ago, where they visited a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Farr. The four then toured California by automo-bile, visiting relatives in different places. They came back by way of Beaver and picked up- Ila and baby, then on home. They had a wonderful time and Mr. and Mrs. Farr will remain a few weeks, visit-ing in Utah. Miss Verda Anderson is home with her mother, Mrs. Jensene And-erson for a vacation. Mrs. Betsy Skeem, along with Mr. and Mrs. Wiley, left Oasis Sun-day, for a visit in South Gate, Cal., with her daughter, Ethel Norton. Mrs. J. E.

"Utah is especially suited for this type of poultry keeping, in junction with our large commercial flocks. Not only would this poultn add materially to the income & our farms and part time worker! by millions of dollars each year but it would furnish a source oi employment for our boys and girls." "With poultry they codd learn a good vocation as well as principles of thrift and responsib-ility." Millard County Extension Service. Poyltry Proves To Be Main Source Of Farm Income Poultry is particularly suited to small farms and part time farm-ing. In 1945, poultry was the main source of agricultural income for eight states, including Utah and seven New England states. The 1940 census showed that 11,568 farms in Utah reported less than 100 hens. There was an aver-age of only 29 hens per farm, with only 3894 farms having more than 100 hens. This means that 75 per-cent of the total number of chick-ens. It also means that 75 percent of our- - farms have insufficient chickens to be of economical im-portance. Utah has a poultry marketing system equal to any in the country and with its present marketing set-- ' up could handle several times the volume of eggs and poultry it now handles. Poultry management practices have changed materially during the past few yearsy'-'Thes-e changes have resulted in greater ease in caring for the poultry flock and a great reduction in the time involv-ed. These management changes in-clude multiple deck laying houses, larger pens with less partitions, family-size- d laying cages, and deep litter for the floor. A hen properly cared for will re-turn a labor income $1 to $2 per year above costs. So with a flock Open Letter To Aux. 3Ienilers Of Unit 117 Dear Auxiliary Members: I wish it were possible for each of you to have been present at our last meeting, Friday, June 11. We had a high percentage of our mem-bers present, but not high enough. Quite some time ago, we voted to meet once a month our busi-ness meeting being followed by a social. This month, Carolyn Ben-nett, Maxine Peterson and Marilyn Bishop were on the entertainment committee They provided for danc-ing and cards after the meeting. The first thing we did was elect officers for the year 1948-4- Ruth Steele is our new president. Her of-ficers are Donna Sorenson, 1st Gladys Carter, 2nd Ruth Leavitt, treasurer; Inez Riding, Historian; Erma Pet-erson, Chaplain; Zola Greener and Vermont Bennett, s, and Irene Little, Child Welfare Chair-rna- The secretary will be chosen by the president, Mrs. Steele. Perhaps in the Utah Legionaire, you've read in teh "Auxiliary News-letter" about Utah being given the names of two orphans of St. Die, France. The units throught Utah have been given a chance to t" these two orphans. By adopt-ing is meant furnishing clothes and food to them. Unit 117 has adopted two a brother and a sister age three and six respectively. We thought these were the original two but since the meeting I've re-ceived word from Dept. Headquar-ters that with the adoption of the last child this would make twelve in Utah. But it's still a wonderful project one that should bring us all together closer and if any of you have any clothing that would fit a three-year-ol- d boy or a ld girl, please contact Mrs. Thora Wind or me. The food should be in condensed form arid canned meat and fish, condensed milk, co-coa, dried fruits, or rice are sug-gested. Please help these little children We discussed plans for a radio program over K. S. V. C. in Rich-field. We've received a letter from Bill Warner, manager of K. S. V. C, stating that our unit could use any period from 4:30 to p. m.. The Unit and Post are work-ing on this project together and further plans will be announced later. Something for the immediate future is a canyon party slated for Friday P. M., June 18, in Oak City canyon. Ruth Leavitt, Phyllis Davis and Carole Warnick are getting things in shape for a lively time. Roual Leavitt is taking his large truck for transportation for those who have no other way. Every-one who has no way up are re-quested to meet at the Delta Drug, and as cars are filled they will leave for the canyon. Could we all be there by 6:45 or 7:00. Donna Sorenson is getting a program to-gether and Gene Walker is toast master. Commander Gordon presented to us the Charter and I'm sure that we all realize what a wonderful thing it is to be a chartered or-ganization. The entertainment committee served light refreshments and then we danced or played cards. All in all, you missed a good meeting. I hope that we'll see you at our next one July 9. Sincerely, .
