Willard Bolle, professor of poultry raising, aad Misa Eliza beth Wyant, professor of English, all connected with the board of instruo tors of the Farmers Institute work at the Utah Agriculture college, met with the people of Gunnison Tuesday night in the capacity of a Farmers er Institute. Immediately after arriving in town, the professors were busy among the leading men to ascertain, if possible, the subjects of most interest to this locality. They were assured that matters touching upon the alfatfa seed product wouldjbo best received, but In this, if one is to judge irom the questions propounded by the audienoe at the close of the lectures, there was a mistake. The numerous interogations were solely upon the subject pertaining to poultry raising, and were answered quite intelligently and with the highest satisfaction by Prof. Bolte. The professors; talk upon the breeding of fowls gave considerable new light, while his statistics upon egg production and information upon the proper requirement of food incident thereto was extremely interesting and instructive. Prof. Jardine was the first speaker. After some preliminary talk upon the purpose of the Farmers Institute and its looal advantages, he directed his remarks mainly upon the growing of alfalfa seed. Thin 6oring, he Jsaid, was a requisite for the success of this product, four pounds to the acre being all that was necessarp if put in A heavy properly prepared soil. growth of alfalfa was not conducive to seed production, the stodling of the plant necessary to that end being Cultivation would hindered by it. increase the yield, but discing serves to thicken the plant growth with a corresponding curtail in yield of seed. The speaker advised the keeping of bees by seed growers as a stimulant to the bud and its germ, besides Forestry Fees To Stand. Washington advices Etata that officers of the forest bureau have determined not to recede from the regulation they have adopted requiring pay-meof grazing fees from stockmen pasturing livestock on forest reserves. In this they have the approval of the secretary of agriculture and of President Roosevelt, and, with this approval supporting them, they will insist upon payment of grazing fees. The forestry bureau announces that in order to protect and assist home builders, speoial concessions will be made in the grazing fee on cattle for the season of 1906, as follow: Permits of each state or territory for the year 1906 will be listed in the order of the number of cattle covered ; then beginning with the smallest one-haof the permits will be counted off and the number of cattle shown by the largest of these permits will be taken as a basis for this concession. Applicants for grazing permits will be charged only half rate on cattle up to the number thus established for their state or teraitory. nt lf Fayette Items Hill. E. T.
