Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE Delta. Utah, Thurs.. Dec. 18, 1952 Food For Bugs And Microbes Keeps Good Soil To keep good soil from becom-ing poor soil, some trash, hay or manure has to be left on the ground. Some people will call it organic matter when they are try-ing to talk over your head, but the soil doesn't care what you call it, just as long as it is food for bugs and microbes. Bugs and microbes keep any soil loose and open and dig the ferti-lity out of the soil grains. E. A. Brush on his farm south of Delta was tellnig how he keeps up his supply of bug food on the alfalfa fields he leaves for seed. He sprays the fields with some-thing to kill lal the plants, includ-ing the alfalfa when the seed is ripe. Then when the plants are dry, he picks up the seed with a combine, and all the chaff is left all over the fied for the bugs. There are other advantages, too. "There is no more trouble trying to find ia crew," Mr. Brush said, "two men can do it all. One on the combine and one handling the seeds sacks. And the wind does not stop the work." Then he explained how he and his son estimated that to cut, rake, haul and thresh an acre of alfalfa seed would cost about $23, w:hile the actiual cost of spraying and combining was only $13 per acre. And just think of all the bug food left there. Finally he exulted, "and no threshers for my wife to feed." Speaking of food for micrrobes, Mel Sharp said, "Men used to say that spreading manure would ruin good farm land. But that was be-fore they got those mechanical manure loaders." ' By Justin M. Smith Airman Walter Forster, who has been at Columbusr Ohio, for the past 9 months, has been transfer-red to Shepherd AFB, Wichita Falls, Texas, he writes his mother, Mrs. Ila Forster at Delta. He will take a six- - months mechanics course there. This is his second time at Shepherd AFB, as he took his basic training there.

Clark's the threshers were busy thresing the 19 big sta-cks uf wheat Mr. Clark harvested this year. He will have about 5,000 bushels. (Mr Dresser also mentioned J. W. Scrwarts, J.E. Childers, Joseph and Frank Nutsch, and Andrew Eiezele.) Leamington On Dec. 21 and 22 the first con-ference of the Deseret Stake will be held here, and a large crowed will be expected, and a good con-ference as well as enjopable time, is what we expect to have and assure everyone who attends that they will not be disappointed. 40 Years Ago From the Files . . . Abraham and the West Side The editor (Norman B. Dresser) made a three-day'- s visit to Abra-ham and on the west and north side this week and was much im-pressed with the many improve-ments he saw and the rapid grow-th of these communities. (Mr. Dress er goes on to comment at length on the good canal system at Abra-ham, and the large number of weeds.) The smaller amount of alfalfa seed was raised in Abraham this year on account of the frost that came early in September. Much of it was spoiled by the frost. About the largest amount was rais-ed by Ora Lake who harvested 9,500 pounds of good seed upon which he realized 10 cents per pound. O. M. Fullmer raised a fair amount, as did E. J. Eiehler. What seed is cleaned is done so by hand with a fanning mill, a slow opera-tion, and much of it was sold for as low as 4 cents. The big F. M. Wilson ranch rais-ed over 200 tons of first quality hay this year and Mr. Wilson has some fine pasture for rent. Fred Rowell told us of his ex-periences in raising oats which may be of interest to farmers. On one piece he watered his ground before planting and gave it three irrigations afterwards. On adjoin-ing ground he planted, the same kind of seed and watered it up, and then give it three irrigations. From the first piece he got 80 bushels to the acre, and on the second piece he got only half that amount, which convincingly proves the advantage of watering the gr-ound before planting. They go in for good stock over there and at A. W. Reid's we saw a three-yea- r old standard bred trotting stallion that would be hard to beat. Mr. Reid got it for breeding purposes and it ought to help improve the trotting stock of the neighborhood. Three miles north of Abraham is the big 640-acr- ranch of W. T. Mason. He has certainly got a fine piece of land. He came out from Oklahoma last May and put a big traction engine at work clearing and plowing his land. He got in 200 acres this year and although it did not give a big return, on account of late planting and trou-ble with water, Mr. Mason is not at all discourged and intends to clear and plow another 200 to put in next season. John Nutsch was busy putting up a good sized house on his 160 to house his goods and numerous Is llosicss To Fidelity Club Mrs. Clara Killpack was hostess to the Fidelity Club at their meet-ing en Thursday night. Dinner was served first, and a program given later. Those present were Maline Gard-ner, Ora Gardner, Ella Black, Ava Starley, Luella Nickle, Donna Romania Bird, Hannah Lar-se- Thelma Seegmiller, Ada John-son, Norma Hannifin, Artie Hend-erson and Zola Wright. The lesson for the evening was by Mrs. Zonla Wright on the life of Sister Kenny.

The hour was a mild education in Ballet, as the instructor, Mrs. Eileen E. Smith, gave explanations of the various exercises and told what they do for muscles, posture, and good appearance. New pupils are- accepted at any time, and well-behav- visitors are welcome to watch any of the regular classes on Saturdays. was. Ed Taylor has been in bed a week with neuritis, but is better now.
