Show BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR THE FARMERS The outlook for a successful year for the farmers of Milford valley is indeed bright at this time. A careful perusal of the article on the first page of this issue should; convince the farmers that the promoters of the big pro-: ject adjoining town are sincere regarding a desire to' assist the settlers to make good this year. Any rancher who failed to raise enough feed for himself last year has now ap opportunity to secure for himself ample feed and to spare for the coming seasons. Much of the alfalfa seeded last year has been found to be m good condition and there will be several thousand acres of alfalfa in good stands ready for the harvest in June of this year. The heavy snowfall, the quantity of water already in the reservoir and the announcement that the company will not seed a larger acreage than was seeded to alfalfa last year, these several items in connection with the fact that the company has taken by the election of its own water board absolute control of the affairs of the Beaver Coun- j ty Irrigation Company, indicates clearly to any unprejudiced unpreju-diced mind the fact that the company realizes that it is up to the Delta Land & Water Company to make good this year for its own sake. There is no use to criticize and quibble over the mistakes of the past. They have been made. They were made by the selling company for the', project and they have been made by other departments and also by the settlers. ' - The News reiterates what we have stated before That the project is sure to be a success. Wherevf r there is good irrigable land and sufficient water to irrigate any part of it successfully, at least that part will gome dav make good and be an agricultural success. - n s SUYq Good land at a reasonable price is becoming scarcer each year. The public domain is being taken ur t Dy peopie 0f all classes from the overcrowded sections ' 0f the country. The undeveloped resources of such cony paratively new countries as the state of Utah are little own. The man who stays with the land m this valley e- ,en at a great sacrifice sac-rifice of many much-to-be-desired conforts and conven. lences will eventually succeed and be . gad. And it seems to us that a man need not have m ore than the average amount of foresight to be confide t of ultimate success! |
