The principal dairy counties of the state are Cache, Bait Lake, Utah, Weber Davis and Boxelder, wtih Millard and Wayne counties coming tip rapidly. The cheese industry is rapidly coming into prominence in the west and Utah affords excellent opportunity to men of exWith abunperience in this line dant and cheaply produced feed, Utah is in a position to compete on very favorable terms with Wisconsin and other middle western and that the dairy products of the state are worth approximately $3,000,000 annually. FEED DRIED BEET PULP. s A ride through the irrigated of the lntermountaln region shows the visitor wonderful fields of growing alfalfa, grown aa nowhere else in the world; fields of bets, grain and other produce used in the feeding of dairy cattle. Dried beet pulp, thousands of tons of which are thrown away or wasted In this state, is one of the best kinds of feed for high grade dairy cattle. The importance of hte dairy Industry is indicated by tbe fact that the dairy products of the United States are worth more than al the wheat, oats, barley, tobacco and cotton produced in this country. In order to fed our people we are compelled to import annually forty million pounds of cheese from Australia, New Zealand and Scandinavian countries and from Canada. The consumption of cheeRe in this country has increased 14 per cent in the past year. CANNING LTAH TOMATOES.

Pierce, who was president and manager of the Utah Canning company until the year 1918, when be disposed of his interests and retired from active participation in tbe canning industry. He is, however, still associated with the Brigham City Canning company at Brigham City, Utah, but not in active capacity. n MILLIONS : Ask For TO GROWERS. There are grown in tbe state for canning purposes apporxlmately 3,000 acres of tomatles, 7,000 acres of peas, 250 acres of string beans and BOO acres of other products, such as cabbage for sauerkraut, pumpkins, squash, fruits and pickles.
