GA1SFORD, JR.. -EDITOR MORE ABOUT THE FARMER The official forecast of the DepartnLuut of Agriculture foretells a better year" for the J'arnicrs in VJ2S than they enjoyed last year. The average dirt fanner is hut mildly interested in this kind of dope, although it is conceivable that they may serve a useful purpose somewhere. some-where.

This may be .true of the .slocks and bunds and industrial corporations and big enterprises en-terprises but w lien it vh to the man behind the jOow he can tell them u different story. There is one settled fact in the mind of most of the farmers in Utah today, and that is, that, while the country wai in a wave of prosperity the agriculturalists actually had to take . punish n lent. . ."'' " Nor, is the outlook better if we turn from individual farmers and look at the condition which has become serious through the farm territories and Unless something breaks the speH'of the present luck there will be havoc on our farms.

FIGHTING DISEASE The year 1923 got off to a good start when Mr. Ajbert D. Lasker, and his wife. Mrs. Flora. V. Lasker, donated the sum of $1,000,00 to endow a Foundation for Medical Keseareh. That the work i. getting under way is seen by the announcement that the first study .. of the foundation will be Bright's disease. There, is a chance for the improvement of mankind' in the work of such a foundation and the generosity of the founders should hi' appreciated by the American people. More than this," because back of the:gift is the interest of the donors in the welfare of mankind, we should be glad, to call attention to this evidence of the uses to which wealthy men and women of this country put their money. We are probably within the bound of fact to say that at no time in the history of mankind has any people enjoyed greater benefit from the hands of people of great wealth. The . Rockefellers. Carnegies and others, including the Laskers, have done, and are doing, a great work in making this a better world in whwh to live. A single dollar will open an account in this bank.

What have we done with those rosy plans for our own -economic nnd cultural improvement during 1928 1 ' If the truth were known it would be safe to say that ninety-nine rer cent of all resolutions have been dead and forgotten long since the advent of this month.

Considerable-hi terest Is Seln? evidenced In the Capper-Hope, bill extending- the-' scope tt the -present Packers and Stockyards Act of 1921, which was designed to protect the interests of all concerned in the production, pro-duction, distribution and marketing of livestock. Features of this bill 8eefa-te-feive --eoBsMeraMe-mertt-aad It it accomplishes a further protection- for-producers"ot livestoclrr" it doubtless will receive hearty support One purpose of the bill is to extend the same safeguards and regulations in effect at the open livestock mar. kets, so that they may be more far reaching, placing them back Into the country, so that activities at local trading points, railroad carrals, " etc. may be properly supervised. It is difficult to see how any. reasonable objection can be made to this unless through a desire to perpetuate unfair practices. This of course, will be brought out by .whatever .QppqsitlQn may develop to this feature of the bill. It is to be conceded that Federal sup. erviglon, In a practical way, cannot be extended to the trading at crossroads cross-roads or Individual ranches but what, ever thehe is a gathering place where buying and selling la carried on it is reasonably practicable, but quite ex. pensive to establish supervision. A recent Burvey indicates that there are thirty-five million more people In the United States Than twenty-five years ago, but In the face of this there are- about twenty-two million fewer beef cattle, sheep and swine from which they may secure their meat supply. In the face of this decline in meat food animals the number of dairy cows on farms has increased about eight million and as most of these cows eventually find their way Into beef channels, the net loss of meat producing animals Is about fourteen million head. On the face of this a shortage weuld be indicated, but this conclusion conclus-ion must be tempered by the fact that through the adoption of more modern praetlces, a quicker turnover in meat food animals, particularly mutton and beef has resulted, so that a considerably consider-ably larger quantity of meat food may now be produced from a smaller number of . animals. This Is borne out by the constantly increasing tonnage ton-nage of meat belngutlllzed In the United States' in the face ' of de. creases la livestock held In the-producing sections. f . . ' It was recently pointed out that market statistics may be likened to a toad map, which la a convenient thing to have when one is in strange territory, and even In familiar territory terri-tory it may prove ot value at times, as ocassionally one finds that detours are necessary, many of wlilch are found along the market roads.

This is a highly desirable situation as it places the producer in a stronger position in best ganging production to meet demand require. menus, ana, oi course, serves as a safeguard In assisting him to avoid an unhampered manner, as is the case In the open central livestock mar kets. Elder Chipsaaa Gives : : r Sozie Facts About Holland Den Haas, ederlaadaa January tl, 1928.., -American Fork Citizen, ' American Fork' City. ' t Gentlemen: During the past' sixteen -months, 1 have had the privilege, of reading the "One and Only," news Issue of the city, American Fork. It has been and Is yet, a pleasure for me to read. The American Fork Citizen. As you no doubt know, I was allot-ed, allot-ed, the Netherlands (Holland) mission, mis-sion, as my field of labor.. Holland la a little country between Germany and Belgium. It is smaller than Switzerland, Switzer-land, .but it has almost twice as many people. It has a population of Seven million, two hundred and twelve thousand, people. -"-Before" coming" oam'y"'muisibiri had heard about the "Dutch windmills, wind-mills, canals and wooden shoes", so I have my eyes open, at all times for such things. As you ride through. the low, flat districts, you will see many small ditches in the midst ot fields. These ditches carry water from the famous canals 'which course through Holland. I am sure you know that much of the land is below, sea level and has been claimed back from the sea with the help of dikes. The low level of the land makes it more simple to feed the crops with water by means of canals and ditches. Almost every picture you 'see at home, of the Hollanders, shows them wearing strange clothes Including wooden shoes (Klompen).' So far as the cities go those pictures are not true to life. . The city people wear clothes which resemble those worn by people in America. Their shoes are made of leather. Strange costumes are found in dls trlcts, however, such as. Marken Is land, Volen-dam and the little Island of Trk" and are worn by men and women as well as the little children. Wooden shoes are worn in the country, and sometimes by children In the cities. The reason they are worn is not because anyone wants to be "romantic or antique", but be cause such shoes are cheap. They are not nearly so comfortable as leather shoes. I have tried both kinds. I wish to thank yon, for sending me the "Citizen," It is read and enjoy. ed, I assure you. Very Truly, Washburn McLelland Chlpman SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11r on aid the impersonal v Toioe phone.
