She did not feresee the horseless buggy, and oiled roads. So she cried and cried, but to no avail, she moved with the fam-ily. And when she first saw where her new home would be, she cried all the harder, she thought the countryside was an awful-lookin- g place. There were a few scattered families, and one store. So she dried her tears and plotted to leave Little did she dream that 61 years later she would still be liv-ing there and liking it. And she was the only one of that large family that remained there, too. Today there are a bro-ther and sister in Calif., and her baby sister, born after she was married in 1890, lives in Salt Lake City.

Conservation District Proposed The new soil conservation dist-rict to be known as the "Delta Area Soil Conservation District" will be voted on in every commun-ity in west Millard county on July 16, according to Fenton Gardner, temporary chairman of the propos-ed district. The new district is thirty-si- x miles square know as the "lower Sevier Area" and embraces 693 farms and approximately 920,000 acres. This area has been in need of soils information and engineer-ing help for a long time, accord-ing to Mr. Gardner, and now is the time to get it. This help can be made available to our farmers through a soil conservation district in cooperation with the depart-ment of agriculture. If you have any questions about how a district can help you, you may call on Mr. Gardner at any time. You will have everything to gain and nothing to lose. There are forty-thre- e districts in the state of Utah, and this is the last one organized until now. A district cannot tax or assess land. It starts without funds. If you want to cooperate with a district that is your right and privilege; if you don't want to cooperate, that is also your privilege. Mr. Gardner has already asked for engineering help for this sec-tion. Remember the date and also watch for notice of the polling place. Let's vote this district into being. Warning Given On Cheat Grass Cheat grass, a sabateur team mate for run-awa- y fire is waving a signal for action. Its dry stems are ready to suck fire out of burning cigarettes, coax innocent camp fires into the brush or to snatch flame from a discarded match. Some people call it June grass, botanists call it Bromus Tec-toru-but others call it names we can't print. It is a pest that rushes in to take the Dlace of better plants killed by fire and abuse. Cheat grass runs a pick-up and delivery service for fugi-tive fires. It can take fire from a down-tow- n cigarette and deliver it to the last tree up the moun-tain. Firemen of Salt Lake county made 1,000 runs after cheat grass fires in 1948. If Utah is to be kept green, dry cheat grass and fire must be kept apart.
