JUNE j Europe Bids for U." S. Tourist Traffic European nations are now bidding bid-ding for a share of the expected U. S. national tourist expenditure' of ten' billion dollars that will be spent by an estimated fifty million mil-lion American vacationists the coming season. While Utah's tourist business will not suffer from European competition this year, it must be remembered that as time passes, Europe's bid for the American tourist business now the fastest-growing fastest-growing industry in the nation-will nation-will become stronger and stronger. Even now, twelve major steamship steam-ship lines are either starting trips to Europe or are scheduled to start this spring. These lines operate 21 big ships and could move 22,000 passengers in one trip to Europe, if they all left at once. In addition, about 800 trans-Atlantic trans-Atlantic flights operate on an average av-erage per month out of La Guar-dia Guar-dia Field in New York for Europe. Eu-rope. Their carrying capacity is around 25,000 passengers. The flights will be stepped up by summer. Utah Dairy Income Highest The highest prices ever received for their products in history is now being enjoyed by Utah dairymen, dairy-men, the Bureau of Agriculture Economics reports from Salt Lake City. Despite rising feed costs, Utah's dairy farmers are receiving "sat- isfactory returns," it was pointed out. The sum total of Utah's grain, vegetable, iruit and nay crops during 1946 was $62,577,000 nearly $6,000,000 more than during dur-ing 1945, the bureau reported. The total production of wheat, barley, oats, corn and rye in Utah during 1946 was $21,433,000, compared with a 1945 total of $18,119,000. Wheat, production alone jumped from $9,622,000 in 1945 to $12,-496,000 $12,-496,000 in 1946. Smith Brothers in Utah Of the hundreds of letters received re-ceived by the Utah Department of Publicity and Industrial Develop ment from all sections of the United Unit-ed States, asking for information on Utah, one of the latest proved the most interesting. Written from Atlanta, Ga., the letter says: "Gentlemen Please send me information in-formation about industry, agricul-ture agricul-ture and minerals in your state. Also about the Smith Bros, and the Sea Gulls." Undoubtedly, the writer's reference ' to the "Smith Bros." meant Joseph and Ilyrum Smith, famous Mormon leaders of early days, and not the well-known cough drop manuiaciurers. o Congress to Stutly Utah Projects A report of the potential projects proj-ects of the Colorado River basin has been prepared by the Bureau of Reclamation in Salt Lake City, primarily to acquaint the U. S. Congress with the over-all plan for utilization of the river for irrigation, ir-rigation, electrical power and other uses. The report emphasizes the urgency ur-gency of harnessing the river's wealth, some 300 miles of which is in Utah. "Tomorrow the Colorado River will be utilized to the very drop," the report declared. "Its water will convert thousands of additional addition-al acres of sagebrush desert to flourishing farms and beautiful homes for service men, industrial workers and farmers who seek t build permanently in the west." o dimrtiumtmt n . 1 Consider these advantages of new, modern, electric brooders Lower cost operation (less than 2c per chick).

' . - METAL MINING INDUSTRY OF UTAH Is?. torn where I sit ... Joe Marsh . Willie Goes fo School at 23 Everybody's joshing Willie Wells about going back to school. They remember when Willie would hide out in the woodshed scared to bring his report card home to Pa. But under the G.I. Bill of Eights, Willie (who has a wife and baby) is getting a free education educa-tion at the Agricultural College. And Uncle Sam is giving him a fine report: "Deportment, excellent; excel-lent; Progress, above average." That goes for all those undergraduate under-graduate veterans. Like Willie, they appreciate an education more than ever now. They're industrious and well-behaved their favorite beverage bev-erage is milk, or a temperate glass of beer. For them the "three RV seem to mean: Responsibility, Resourcefulness, Re-sourcefulness, Restraint. From where I sit, cynical folks who thought veterans wouldn't want to return to school wouldn't stick to steady habits of work and moderation have their answer in "undergraduates" like Willie.
