Hay Committee Recommends These Hay Prices The Millard County Alfalfa hay committee met Saturday, May 28th with alfalfa hay producers to dis-cuss the matter of pricing hay for the coming season. It was recom-mended that hay be sold as fol-lows: $18 per ton in the field; 22.50 in the stack; 25.00 baled in the field; and 27.00 baled in the stack. It is further recommended by the group that everyone who can possibly do so stack their hay, if the above prices are not paid. The price of hay each season is cheapest at the time of harvest. Everyone present at the meeting .' agreed that they had always made i, more money by stacking their hay. Figuring the value of hay on j, the basis of parity in comparison with other commodities the above j prices are definitely in line. It is j a reduction in price from a year !j ago's recommendation, by, alfalfa :i producers, but this is only in keep !j Ing with the trend of time, namely. JJ that prices of other commodities !j are likewise tending slightly down ii ward. 4 The success of the alfalfa hay L busines is dependent on your act-ion in keeping with these prices. ; you are entitled to it.

Livestock Show Again Proves Highly Successful With the buyer's banquet Friday night the eighteenth annual Mill-ard County Junior Livestock Show came to a close after two very successful days of exhibiting hogs, lambs and beef. The show was well attended and premium prices were paid for most of the stock in the show. The exhibitors came to the barn Wednesday with their animals for entry, bringing their project books and. ready for the judging the following morning. That day start-ed off with the hogs, followed by the sheep, and the cattle and dairy stock. Judges were George Henderson, Marden Broadbent, and Dr. Donald Bell. They picked 16 prime hogs, 9 prime lambs, and 22 choice beef in the fat stock clas-ses. Blue ribbons were given for the breeding stock in sheep, hogs, beef cattle and dairy. George Ed-die Dutson won the championship in the dairy class, with Beulah Barney taking second place. That night the annual stock-men's banquet was held in the Delta high school lunch room, with Otis Walch as MC. At this ban-quet, members of the show' com-mittees were introduced, winners in various classes, the county com missioners, and J. H. Croft, com-missioner of agriculture for the state of Utah, who was repres-enting the governor here. Also were presented by local firms to the grand championship winners( See pictures). Friday morning the sale of fat stock began with the fat hogs with Bill Creer of Spanish Fork selling his grandchampion to the Amercan Legon Post 117 for 60c a pound. The Delmart of Delta paid Chris Hansen 70c a pound for his reserve champion. The rest of the hogs went through the ring rapidly with Dewey Sanford buying a large proportion of them at good prices. The fat lambs were sold next and Stevens and company of Delta and Fillmore paid $1.35 to Jack Larson of Spanish Fork for his grand champion. They also bought the reserve champion from Theron Johnson of Delta for $1.60 a lb. This was the second time that the reserve champion sold for more than the grand champion, because the reserve champions were sold by local boys. After a short recess the buying of fat beef commenced with the American Legion Post 117 buying the grand champion fat steer from Scott Christensen for $1.00 a lb. which is the highest price to date paid for the fat beef animal at any livestock show. The reserve champion, shown by Vona Lue Greathouse of Lynndyl, was bou-ght by the Delmart for 41c a lb. Other fat beef brought premium prices as the sale continued. During the sale both the Deseret News and the Salt Lake Tribune presented special awards, with the Deseret News giving wrist wat ches to the grand champions in each class, and pen and pencil set to the reserve champions. The Salt Lake Tribune presented a Jer-sey heifer to Farrell Quornberg of Scipio, FFA, and a Hereford steer to Clemont Palmer of Hinckley, Russell Knight gave a year of Kellogg's feed to the winner of the Tribune calf. Ralph Erickson gave $5.'00 to the owner of the winning Hampshire ewe. And the H. D. Lee company gave 5 pairs of overalls and 1 jumper to win-ners in different classes. Turner and Draper gave a halter to the winner of the Tribune heifer. Local firms did a lot of buying at the show and most of the sales were made to Millard county busi-ness men and farmers. They kept the prices up and the sales were conducted rapidly. ) WHO'S WHO? ? l ?! ; - i '.ll. . ill JA.A Woops, don't slap the baby's face when Nature has provided a better place. And that is all baby, not bustle, providing that pouter Pigeon effect in that little midriff outfit. This is a picture of another early Deltan, taken so long ago it wouldn't be fair to tell. And this is also one of the very few pic-tures this party has even had laken. No doubt this early ordeal shown here, trying in vain to clamber over the back of the chair, curdled this little tot's opinion of the candid camera. For to this day, this bashful blonde would father face almost any face than that of a photographer. Time has wrought some changes in the contours pictured here. Gone are the curves and curls, and now one of the slimmest silhouettes in town is possessed by this person. Of course being an early Deltan slimmed a lot of people down, and this party rolled into town about 1912. And rolled is the verb, too, as the new horselss carriage was th's party's delight, and horse and 'ggy days were on the way out. Also rjjp- - ;(j with the Wjje open i spaces between business houses and homes in the new town, this party elected to stay, and work toward becoming an old timer. First came matrimony, and now three children and several grand-children later, this party often takes time out to just sit and muse while the world passes by. And then, too, there are times when this party .is in a great lather of activity, trimming things up to beat the band. Fur does fly at those times, but eventually it is all smoothed down and glossed over And another big is a hobby. That calls for trips far afield, and hours of climbing, digging, prying and pok-ing equipped with shovel and a pickax. No telling what such ex-peditions may unearth. Now, if , after all these clues, you are still at a loss as to. just who this is here is a tip the scenes of activity, evidences ot the hobby, and the party m ques-tion, just sitting and musing, may be seen most any day except Sun-days and holidays right through a certain window on Clark Street.

In announcing the opening date, May 30, in last week's issue, the Chronicle failed to list the evening hours. This lapse most unusual, like the wea-ther, upset the calculations of many patrons. However, they can go right ahead, and plan evening swims, for the pool will be open every night until 9. A crowd of eager young patrons was waiting at the doors Monday the pool was opened for the sum-mer. The water may have seemed a trifle on the cool side to some anxious parents, but to the young-sters it was just right. They pop-ped in and out like seals, and war-med up with sunbaths on the deck From now on, throughout the sea-son, they plan to be there every day. Parents, don't overlook the bar-gain in season tickets. Family tic-kets are $10, and individual tickets at $3, good for the entire season. And caution your children to take it easy, or they may get both water-lo-gged and sunburned. Better by far to enjoy swims the whole season by breaking in gradually, than to miss a week or more on account of being a victim of over-doing.
