Should Be Devised For Its Continuance At This Convention Is The Time To Determine What Plan Is To Be Adopted A TRADE MARK FOR ALL UINTAH BASIN PRODUCTS WILL HELP BOOST BASIN Already the Uintah basin is nationally famous for at least four products, honey, dary products, turkeys and alfalfa seed. The superior quality produced alone has made these products famous. Honey for its exquisite flavor and beautiful clear color Our turkeys for their flavor, and finish, topping the market wherever sold. Our alfalfa seed for its germination, plumpness and color, the vegetable gold of the Uintah basin. Where-eve- r butter and cheese from the Uintah basin creameries has been in competition with other sections they have taken first place, showing the adaptability of this section for dairy products. Even sweet cream is shipped to Denver by the ton. It is not unreasonable to suppose that we can become just as famous for canteloupes raised on the Green and Duchesne river bottoms; pea seed no more ideal spots than our upland sections; beet seed a test which has already been made and pronounced ideal. A mountain field corn seed which would surpass any other section can be raised and it is Reasonable to suppose any other temperate vegetable seed would be of the same high test. Uintah basin capons can be more famous than' our turkeys as our ideal location makes us favor the large Asiatic breeds. Pure bred hogs, sheep and dairy stock could be made in a few years, by the time the railroad is here, as famous as any section in the United States. To help in our supremacy and better advertise and protect ourselves and our superior products we need a Uintah basin trade mark and used only on our superior products and wherever seen displayed it would have only one meaning, the very best goods produced. The trade mark emblem could be made so that it would fit into any association or producers heading. Let us let the world know we produce the best and so advertise the fact. 50VERNOR C. R. 3LYBEY WILL OPEN SECOND U. B. I. C. AT HISTORIC FORT What Utah Thinks of Her Great Inland Empire is the subject of Governor Charles R. Mabey at the opening of the second annual U. B. I.

Last year Governor Mabey was one of the speakers at the convention and was greatly honored by the Ute Indians, .who had waited long and patiently for his coming and at noon staged a parade and an Impromptu reception in his Common Interests Of Basin Is The Determining Factor The inception of the Uintah Basin same as last year, who have studIndustrial convention in the spring ied for a whole year ou som parof 1923 was a vision of the future ticular problem of ours. welfare of the Great Uintah Basin We will be closely associated and County lines, community and indusinterested in the outcome. trial differences were obliterated as intensely Most of us are already looking forwith the sweep of a broom over the ward as to U.

And the curious fact is, that- it is a warped individual indeed, who ever comes as a visitor that does not buy at some Basin market and thereafter becomes forever a Basin booster.

The work will be pushed to completion this fall and the water stored for 1925 crops. The board of directors was authorized by the stock holders to borrow the money if possible but if not to levy an assessment not to exceed 25 cents per share, against the stock. This is the greatest move for crop insurance yet made in the Uintah basin, and no doubt is only a stepping stone to other and far greater storage reservoirs. People of the Uinah basin have always met any crisis which has arisen and the present water shortage is no doubt a blessing in disguise. Every acre of tillable land will, before long, be under cultivation when it will be necessary to further store water for general irrigation. Such a Chamber of Commerce when it acted would represent the most distant farmer, or the most cenbusiness or professiontrally located al man.
