AGRICULTURE

This is the story Of Fairview, a
town of 1900 people in Sanpete
county, Utah. It is told here because
it demonstrates the fact that COM
munity development-town building
must begin with the boys and girls.
IT is commended 10 the serious con-
sideration of every person interested
in the welfare Of America. What
Fairview and Sampete county are do
ing for their boys and girls every 9th
er town, every other county, can do.
For Is years Hober S. Olson has
been principal of the Fairview school;
for two years he has been mayor of
the town.
Because Of a lack of funds the
school board was unable to complete
a junior high schoo; building. Mayor
Olson called mass meeting of citi-
zens and enough money was subscrib-
ed to not only complete the building,
but to provide the apparatus for a
IHOuCIA gymnasium.
The new building has become the
real community center. The Farm
Bureau, the Commercial Club, the
Boy Scouts, the Bee Hive girls, the
brass band meet their regularly. It
is used for the mass meetings, politi-
cal primaries, and all kinds of public
and social gatherings.
Often several meetings are held in
different rooms the same evening ant
at the close those in attendance join
together for an hour or more of ply
steal recreation in the gymnasium.
Games and other contests between
local organizations are common, anG
arouse great public interest.
Every boy between IL and 18 liv.
ing in Fairview is member of the
Boy Scouts. He wants to be a mem.
ber-enjoys being member.
When it became necessary to disci.
pline three Boy Scouts, it was found
that the greatest punishment possible
was to deny them the privilege of Boy
Scout membership for two weeks.
Utah leads all other states in the
percentage of boys and girls to he,
entire population. Out of every 10C
people in the state there are 20 boys
and girls.
In Fairview even that great record
is broken, for there are 522 boys and
girls on the full-time school enroll.
ment, out of a population of 1926
This is 40 boys and girs to every 10C
people.
Mayor Olson is the leader in com.
munity development in Fairview. The
value Of his services to the town car
not be measured.
Boys and girls are the greatest as.
set of any state and what the nation
needs more than anything else are
real community leaders-men anG
women who can fashion and mold
and direct the character of those who
will be citizens tomorrow.

It is hard to imagine what would
be the effect on dairy farming if every
creamery should suddenly cease oper-
atoms. Certainly one Of the results
would be a rapid and serious reduc-
ton in the number of dairy cattle on
the farms.
The day when every farmer churn-
ed all his cream is past. We have
found it much more economical and
profitable to operate cream separa-
tor instead of a churn and sell our
cream to a neighboring creamery. To
go back to the old method would be
decidedly inconvenient. It would be
decidedly expensive. It would entire
ly demoralize all our present and eff
ficient methods of conducting dairy
farms. It would make the successful
operation of large dairy farm i'm
possible unless we were willing to
build and operate our own creamery
at an expense which would prove too
heavy Tor many OF us.
A community laundry is almost as
essential as community creamery.
Why should "Blue Monday" have a
place on the calendar of the farmers
wife? Why should "Mother" be COM
PEELED to suffer all the hardships and
inconvenience of doing the family
washing? A community laundry can
do it better than she can do it. If we
take into account her time and the
danger to her health, community
laundry can do it cheaper.
A community laundry is as practi-
cal as a community creamery. For
years such a laundry has been in sue
cessful operation at Chatfeld, MINI.
An addition was built to the cream
cry at Chatfeld and community
laundry association organized with
capital stock of $4,000. The stock
sold at SIS share. The equipment
cost $4,000. The only additional help
needed was a superintendent, fore
man, five or six girls and a delivery
man.
Farmers wives send in their fami-
ly washings along with their cream.
It is returned along with the empty
cream cans. Town work is collected
and delivered in the usual way.
Farmers have their family washing
done for six cents a pound. Town
people pay 10 per cent more for de-
livery. About 200 families patronize
the laundry each month. Fully half
are farmers. The average cost of
each family washing is $1.37.
The plan has worked most success
