The Provo river, between the state highway and Utah lake is the best place to get the fish. However, it is yet early to get many of the fish, but the end of this month and up to the 20th of May there will be plenty of fish for all those who may wish to make the trip. The proper equipment for snagging is a long bamboo pole to which is fastened a strong cord line to which is tied a piece of wire upon which is strung several large snag hooks. The hooks are sunk to the bottom of the river bed where the line is allowed to rest and then with several quick swishes is brought out with usually a fish or two snagged. At present the water is clear and it is hard to get near the fish, but in about two or three weeks the water will be roily and the fish then come up from the lake in great numbers and much fun can be had catching them, as well as getting a good food iish.

The West is not alone in the problem of the farm. A constant stream of youth pours into the great cities in all parts of the United States. They are the product of the agricultural districts, the cream of our citizenry. In the following summary, Mark Austin, general agricultural superintendent of the Utah-Idah- o Sugar Company emphasizes the problems that are met by the western farmer, far from the markets of the nation. Mr. Austin suggests remedies for the evils and plans for keeping the boy on the farm: 1. It is very expensive to market bulky crops, such as grain and potatoes, and hay. 2. Being so far from the manufacturing centers, it is expensive to secure the things that they need, in the shape of manufactured articles. 3. The lack of information as to the needs of the market, and what they will be likely to consume by way of farm products. Hence they run up against a proposition of of one crop and of another. 4. The lack of proper crop rotation for the protection and fertilization of the soil, and the stimulating of his markets. A number of other problems, no doubt, can be mentioned, the above being a few. The following suggestion will be helpful to help solve the farmer's problems: 1. A proper rotation of crops suitable to the farm and the market, which if properly done will give heav over-producti- on under-producti- on ier yields per acre, and will reduce the stand- cost of production, using the ard crops; alfalfa, corn, or. potatoes, tomatoes, or beans, followed with su- gar beets, then seeded back to or alfalfa. To illustrate: An 80 acre farm d- ivided as follows: 30 acres alfalfa, 10 tomatoes or acres com, potatoes, beans, 30 acres sugar beets, 10 acres of grain seeded to alfalfa. This will give 3 years alfalfa, 1 year potatoes, tomatoes, com or beans, 3 years sugar beets, and 1 year grain seeded back to alfalfa, making an 8 year rotation system, which I have urged for the last 20 years, and many of our successful farmers are following these outlines with excellent results. 2. Marketing the crops: The (Seal) 5-5 ' J. G. McQUARRIE, Commissioner of Insurance. hay from and grain, and the the sugar beets should be fed to first class dairy cows, and poultry, and the dairy and poultry products marketed at home, or at other suitable markets, and the fertilizer put back on the soil. Sugar beets to be marketed at the factories, and the potatoes, tomatoes, or beans to be marketed at home, or the nearest suitable market. This would reduce the labor to a minimum, increase the yields to a maximum, by-produ- cts solve the freight, market and labor problems, and make farming profitable, and encourage the boys to stay on the farm. : Did you marry that girl of yours, or do you still cook your own breakfast and mend your own clothes?
