A I By Alex Esser WRITER TELLS ABOUT INTERESTING HISTORY I had a very interesting visit the other afternoon stopping in to see one of my friends whom I like to tab "Old" Tinier" and got to talking and somehow we got to Giove township.

This made him sit up he said about one- half of what is now known as Grove township was, at one time, covered by a heavy. natural "rove, the largest in the county, lie then ielated that the first i a settlement in the county was made there in the late furies. Abel Galland and his son, William, came here in 1S-1S from Council i i and built themselves a log cabin. They were the only i family to spend the winter 1S4S-19 in Shelby county. This is where the name "Galland's Grove" started from the first settler.

Most of the earlier settlers came from Nauvoo. 111., and were Latter-Day Saints. These people erected a log church in Galland's Giove which was the lirst church in the county. He said that Win. Vanausdall was the first Elder of the church.

Others that he remembered were John -McTosh and Thomas Dobson. He then mentioned earlier settlers such as Meda Thompson, Eli Fonts, Alexander McCord, Noel Fonts. Uriah Roundy, Albert Crandall. Wilson Keariness. Washington Roundy, John McIn- Tosh.

Robert Ford, Thomas Black. George Thompsen, Thomas and Michael O'Day, John Roundy and Bill Major. I figured Westphalia was one of the oldest settlements, but he insisted it came on the scene in 1S70 and Westphalia township was first known as Sumner. Herman Schwarte was the first settler thero and that the present site of Westphalia stands on the farm Schwarte owned. Then he recalled the first marriage there of Charles Fluesche to Miss Clara Feldman which occurred on present Wagoman farm.

He also stated the First Holy Mass said in the county by a clergyman from Mt. Carniel was at the Wageman house. Joseph IMOSA MUST BE HELD!" says ADLAI E.

Mix Minerals With Soil To Produce Pasture Land cemrionly arc combined with other metals to produce useful alloys, but in Australia minute quantities of metallic miner's nro mixed with soil to turn a G.OOO.OOO-acre wasteland into productive farm and pasture land. The wasteland is the "Ninety Mile-Desert" in the southeastern xirt of the continent, straddling the boundary between the states of South Australia and Victoria, "-ays the National Geographic Society.

The metals that are building soil fertility in the area are chiefly copper and zinc. Manganese and molybdenum are used to a smaller extent. All are applied in minute quantities, mixed with a much larger amount of superphosphate fertilizer. Laud being transformed has long been open to settlers, but the pioneers who have tried it have found it so unproductive that few remained. Although well watered, the land showed its poverty through the scrub timber, bush and coarse grass that grew untended.

Discovery that this "desert" could be made productive through addition of such minute quantities of minerals that they are termed "trace" elements was made by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization. Small scale experiments produced not only good foiage for sheep, but grain and seed crops. The process of turning the desert into good land was expensive and considerably beyond the means of the average homesteader. An organization with plentiful funds was needed, and it was found in the Australian Mutual Provident Society, largest mutual life insurance organization on the continent. The company took over the development of some 750.000 acres, 500.000 in South Australia and 230.000 in Victoria, in a project aimed at providing "a farm every two weeks" when it gets into full opeiation.

The firms will be of SOO to 1.000 acres each, and will be turned over to applicants at the rate of 20 to 30 a year. Each i be complete with buildings, established pasture, fencing and stock. The- land is first cleared of scrub growth in a "logging" operation that levels as many as 30 to 50 acres an hour. Two 50-foot logs are coupled together and chained behind heavy tractors. Dragged through the brush at top tractor speed, the logs clear swathes 100 feet wide as fast as they can be towed.

Once the ground is 'cleared it is plowed by OsM-tandem plows, and allowed to lie fallow for seveial months. Then the land is i a again and the a i a i a elements .110 added, along with fertilizer. Standard practice is to mix seven pounds of copper sulphate and seven pounds of zinc sulphate to 1ST pounds of superphosphate for each acre. The enriched soil is planted with seed and cover crops in preparation for final distribution to new farmers. Efficiency of the metal-enriched soil has been proved by several pioneer farm families.

These settlers are now successfully raising sheep and grain.

Call in the minister right on the spot? We say it couldn't happen, but it's highly improbable. Undoubtedly it took time lots of time many an evening, movies, flowers, candy and a lot of nice things over a period of time before you closed the deaj.
