HOVEY, Secretary Logan Chamber of Commerce Even in the creation of this earth there were team work and an organization. It is natural for groups of hu m a n beings to organize and cooperate. The heathens and people of low intelligence know the value of cooperation. They must have and use it otherwise they become extinct. The Cache County Farm Bureau is principally an organization for the farmers. Here is an excellent opportunity for those much overworked words cooperation and team work. The Cache County Farm Bureau is reputed to be one of the most e f f i c i e nt and successful farm organizations in the state. Compared with an-R. HOVEY nual dues paid it is believed that the farmers in Cache County who belong to the Farm Bureau get more real value and services than many farmers receive from similar organizations in other parts of the state, even members of business mens organizations. The Logan chamber of commerce appreciates its membership in the Cache County Farm Bureau. The more business men and fanners can work together and understand each others problems, the more cooperative and tolerant they will be. The Cache County Farm Bureau is the agency through which the Logan chamber of commerce works to understand the problems of the farmers. All farmers of the county should belong to the Cache County Farm Bureau. It is their organization.

Morris, of the Utah State Agricultural college department of landscape architecture, has prepared a list of all plant materials suitable for growth in Utah. The lists will be available free at the various county agent's offices within two weeks, Professor Morris stated. Long Study Professor Morris report is a result of many years of his own personal study, during which he has ran many tests on doubtful materials. Much of this testing work was done by Professor T. H. Abell and Dr. M. C. Merrill before their departure from the college. Also helpful was the work of nurserymen, 'the most notable of which is Joe Smith of Providence. The lists are being mailed out to the various nurseries throughout the state," Professor Morris stated, and althougn, the list contains more materials than the average nursery stocks. It will act as a guide in excluding all unfavorable materials from their stocking list." Obtain a College Education At Home Many Varities Included on Professor Morrts list, are 256 varieties of trees suitable to Utah soils and climates, and 46 that are unsuitable. The list does not contain those plants that are suitable to climates in the southern part of the state and unsuitable for planting in the northern part. Of the 256 varieties listed, 112 are deciduous trees, 29 are evergreen trees, 87 are deciduous shrubs, 16 are evergreen shrubs, and 12 are woody vines. It is Professor Morris wish that the people of Utah take advantage of this precaution since much money p, .mated annually by the purchase of trees that are not suited to the climate. People interested in this list should send their request to their county information agent Additional about spring planting and landscaping may be obtained by writing to Professor Morris at the college.
