Show Deseret Doings There was a time not so many years ago -when the farmers of this vicinity, looked on the alfalfa alf-alfa seed crop as a matter of luck, and a very lucky person was he who chanced to let his hay crop go long enough without cutting to determine the extent of his possibilities. Thru intensive in-tensive cultivation and more scientific management, men have learned that alfalfa seed can be a dependable, annual crop, whereas, formerly a seed crop once in five or six years was about all the best farmers hoped to get. Today the crop is practically prac-tically assured, barring an early frost. Notwithstanding the delay of spring and general unfavorable weather conditions this year, it is conservativly estimated that Deseret and Oasis will have the largest seed harvest in the history his-tory of the valley. Among those whose prospects are more than fair, is Geo. Croft with a ninety acre piece. This is considered one of the best seed tracts and will run a high average of bu. per acre. S. W. Western, who boasted one of the bumper seed crops last year, expects a heavier yield this. If It's all "as a man thinketh." If there will be no frost says Mr. Western, J. R. Bennett, J. H. Western, J. M. Moody, the Erickson Bros, and many others with less acreage, are all to benefit largly from the culture of alfalfa seed. While grain is a secondary crop, that raised this season is of good quality. Corn has grown especially es-pecially well and we note some the largest corn fields ever planted plant-ed in Deseret. Potatoes, as if ashamed of the blight of the last two years, are yielding better and bigger than ever before. Infant sons have arrived at the homes of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Sporr, and Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Western. Miss Dora Black who has been with relatives in Idaho the last three months, returned home Monday. Arthur Palmer returned from American Fork Sunday, bringing a bride. Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Ryan who : have occupied the Kelly residence resi-dence for two years are going ; over to Hinckley for the winter. Nelson Cooper and Frank Ras-masson Ras-masson of Fillmore disposed of a car of Alberta peaches this week. Everybody is talking about the Millard County Fair, and sure, everybody is going to be there.
