Economists of the U. S. Depart-ment of Agriculture figure that's about as large as the record sup-ply of hay in 1947, compared with the number of hay-eatin- g live-stock on farms. Anyway, it's a lar-ger supply than in any of the past three years, and the fourth larg-est on record. The economists say that sup-plies during the past five years have amounted to a fifth more than back in the twenties, and nearly a third more than during the thirties when drought cut down hay crops. They attribute the lar-ger supplies to farmers getting more hay to the acre. There are three reasons for this increase. Generally speaking, farmers have experienced good hay weather; they've used more of their hay land in alfalfa, which yields near-ly twice as much to the acre as most other kinds of hay. While hay supplies have gone up in recent years compared to what they were before the war, the number of hay-eatin- g animals has stayed close to the same num-ber farmers had before World War II with plenty of the better types of forage, farmers will again man-age to feed their animals well dur ing the winter ahead. ijChatter Box Dear Suzy, Casey Terry figres it would be better to suffer with a toothache than to mentally puffer from the lack of teeth. It seems he had a furious toothache the other day and went to Doc Stains to get it pulled. Doc froze the tooth and about that time the phone rang and they wanted Doc to come down ot the hospital to give an anesthetic to someone. When Doc came back to his own patient he was a little excited and told Ca-sey to "open up" and Doc quickly yanked out a tooth on the oppo-site side of Casey's mouth from where he had frozen it. Before Casey could collect his senses Doc saw that the tooth was not in-fected and so pulled out the one by the side of it. About this time Casey was get-in- g audible and asked Doc if it was the custom to freeze one side of his mouth and then play "she loves me, she loves me not" all around his mouth until Doc got to the right one. Doc then realized that he was not pulling teeth from the place he should and so swit-ched sides and to even up the deal pulled two on the other side to balance Casey's teeth, finally getting the right one. Casey feels it is quite an ordeal to have teeth snapped out, espec-ially when they aren't frozen, but he has taken a philosophic atti-tude lately and figures that when it comes time to buy a set of store teeth he will be well on the road to having his mouth cleaned out of teeth, because he now has four less, and four closer to his china clippers. A great delegation from west Millard attended ' conference in Salt Lake City this past weekend, some attending at the tabernacle and some viewing it over televis-ion sets in the branch tabernacle at Sears' new store. Of course, the chorus attended, and also as many as could crowd into the tabernacle and grounds, but the overflow had to sit on the i treat them the same as they do the big shot college football teams. Three days before the game they take the team someplace "away from it" and force them to get a lot of rest and sleep. At least it would look better that way when televised. Toots. floor at Sears to get a view and hear what was going on. Close to the end o'fl the morning session found the two little Beekwith girls, Susan and Mary Jane, seated on the floor at Sears, with Fuzz kneel ing behind them showing them the different west Millard people that could be seen on the screen. When the ' television stopped showing the chorus Fuzz raised up and bumped violently into a man back of him. Fnzz turned about to ex-cuse himself and found that he was looking into the blue eyes of none other than Bishop Frank Ly-man, who was being ably assist-ed in taking in conference at the television by Lyle Bunker. It was an embarrassing moment for all concerned. Fuzz because he had bumped into Frank, and Frank and Lyle because they had been caught playing hookey from con-ference. The party broke up rather hurriedly, with Fuzz taking his girls out of the store and Frank and Lyle hurrying to the tern--1 pie grounds entrance and joining the throng there to walk down Main Street as though they had been to conference. I think the chorus should have taken into consideration that the sessions were being televised and should have gotten some sleep the night before. While the speakers were talking many of the members of the chorus were in good focus of; the camera, and I will bet that had they seen themselves on the screen they would have wished they had ."stood in bed" Many of them had the appearance of hav-ing walked to Salt Lake just prior to the session and with no sleep during the time it took to walk. Televised from left to right were Moose Dutson, who had the ap-pearance of one who had cut seed three days and night in a row be-fore going to Salt Lake. Next was Wanda Beekwith staring into space at times and at others for-getting to stare. Thelma Black, next one in the lineup, pulled a fast one to keep awake, and she counted all the peole in the audi-ence to keep her mind active. (It was the same as counting sheep, to get to sleep, only with reverse Knglish. Lloyd Schlappi must make Carol work day and night, because she certainly yawned enough. (Carol, one of your uppper molars needs atention, or else it was a spot on the screen). Norma Han-nifin was lucky in being just out of range of the camera, as were most of the others, If they had the same trouble keeping awake that those in range did. It was all Ladd's fault for get-ting them up so early in the morn-ing for rehearsal that none of them were able to get a good night's rest. Ladd had a lapse of memory himself and probably he was not feeling his right self, also from lack of sleep. For when the final number came along, Ladd forgot to signal the chorus to stand and during the opening of the song, those who had presence of mind stood up anyway, and the others hastened to follow suit, with Ladd wondering what was wrong that his chorus was acting like a bunch of If the chorus takes on another big engagement they had better Poisonous Weed Flourishes In Millard Area Hallgeton, a weed poisonous to livestock was found well present in all areas in a weed tour made in West Millard Monday. The weed is so. general that residents will have to learn to live with it, as there are no measures adequate to kill it out. The weed is closely related to the Russian thistle and smother weed. It is wind-born- e, and be-lieved to be scattered along the highways and worked out from there. It contains 18 of oxalate, which is poisonous. Livestock us-ually Will not eat it in its grow-ing stage, when it is 80 water. It has been found that when a cow is eating other feeds, 2 of the body weight eaten of haloget-o- n will be fatal. A hnugry or starv ing animal, eating land a third percent of weight of halogeton will die. Ordinarily the animals will not eat it, as they do not like lit. Instances have been found where salt-hung- sheep will eat it when other forage is available, with fat-al results. The weed seems to have a salt content they like. D will kill the seeds, but not the plants. A party of 36 men, state and county representatives and local stockmen, made the tour Monday. Three stops were made between Delta and Lynndyl, and the weed was found and identified. In the group were Dr. Curtis, state veterinarian, commissioer, Tracy Welling of the state depart-ment of agriculture, J. Bryant And-erson, state weed and seed super-visor, Pratt Allred, range supervis- - or, two representatives from the Utah Farmer, Blaine Robinson, state weed inspector, Soil Conser-vation Service representative, and Rodney Rickenback and Lee Rog-ers of the county agent's office. - Shopping Hints - FROM D.
