Answers Summons


Jeppa Nelson, one of Pleasant
Groves leading citizens, died Wednes-
day morning, heart failure probably
being the cause Of death, though he
has been suffering from q complica-
ton Of troubles for the past year. All
of the family, excepting his daughter,
Mrs. d. II. Robinson Of Manti, were
at his bedside when the cid came.
Mr.. Nelson was born In Skana,
Sweden. October %. 1924. He Joined
the Mormon Church in his native
land April 5, 1871. He emmigrated to
Utah two years later, arriving in Salt
Lake City on Pioneer Day, 1873. The
following day he came on to Pleasant
Grove. Most Of his life here has been
spent In Manila. where his farm was
located, and where he has always
taken leading part in public af-
fairs. About two years ago he moved
to Pleasant Grove.
He was one OF the most successful
farmers In the locality, having also
been a farmer before coming to Amer
lea. With Milan Atwood and John
Beck he formed the building commit
tee of the Manila Ward Meeting
House and also was one OF the larg-
est contributors towards It's erection.
Giving freely to church affairs was
one OF his chief characteristics. AZ
ter helping to build the Manila ward
house. he accepted a second mission
to his native land at the age Of seven-
ty. and then on his return contribut-
ed towards paying of the final debt
His first mission back to Sweden
was In 1882. and the second was in
1904. He baptized as souls on the
two missions, 33 on the first and 10
on the second one. He was devout
Latter Day Saint and forceful
speaker both by example and by pre-
cept.
He is survived by his widow, one
son, Sven j. Nelson OF Pleasant
Grove. and three daughters. Mrs. L.
l.. Nelson of Provo, Mrs. d. H. Rob-
inson OF Manti and Mrs. Joseph w
Thorne of Pleasant Grove. The late
Mrs. N. X. Nelson Of Springville who
died three months ago. was also a
daughter. He also leaves twenty-five
grandchildren.
The funeral services will be held
tomorrow at o'clock p. m. and no
doubt will be largely attended.

ing the use O! lot OF money and the
sacrifice Of much friendship has been
settled by the school patrons getting
what they demanded Another teach.
er has been added to the Manila

going to appeal from the County Supt

met by Supt, Greer, who recommend
ed that another teacher be added As

Money In Onions

VIM. nj. Roylance, the fruit shipper.
also has great faith in Utahs ability
In surprising the rest of the world
In its quality of vegetables. He has
about ten or fifteen acres of celery.
west Of town, which will soon be
ready for market, and as many more
acres OF onions, all OF which will be
shipped away In car load lots.
He has six acres Of onions on the
Thomas Gleason farm on the State
road, which are just now being har-
vested The six acres will yield over
1900 sacks of l25 pounds each, and
are worth $1.25 per sack. This makes
the six acre crop worth s1,s75. Be-
sides this Mr.. Roylance has growing
on the same farm. three acres of par
ships aud half acre of table beets,
and on the entire tract he has ex-
pended up to date less than 5000 for
hired help, seed and rent of ground.
The ground on which the onions
were grown was plowed deep last
fall. It was given a good coat of
manure early this spring, and then
double disked. 1t was narrowed sew
eral times thoroughly, pulverized and
leveled till the tract looked like a
garden. The seed was planted 20 to
the foot in rows IL inches apart, the
work being done with a hand drill.
About half Of the seeds came up, so
that no hand thinning was necessary
The field was cultivated three times
during the summer with hand cult
vators, six boys being kept in the
patch most of the time. As the water
is but two feet from the surface, ir
rigation was needed but once. and
then furrow was made every tenth
row. the balance being subbed.
The experiment shows what can be
done with the lower lands of Plea
SAINT Grove, II they are used for gar
den purposes for which they are
ideally adapted.
