The Patient Cow Will Come Into Her Own in the Uintah Basin TTT VTT TV? tf? TTT VVT TTT TT? WV Greatly Increased Consumption of Milk Has Served as an Incentive to Both Dairymen and Retailers of Milk Lets have more good milk cows.-- There are several angles t o this demand, or reasons why more caws are needed and will pay, viz: First: Cows produce about half a million dollars cash now in the two counties, and this is a good testimony, or high grade evidence that they pay. That makes $25.00 for the whole white per capita population, approximately. Second: We may easily double this cash total, or make it $50.00 per capita. This amount for the whole population means that those who own cows get from 50 to 100 per cent more per capita. Third: The dairy industry transp fers a farm into a diversified farming farm. It promotes growing of carrots, beets, and corn. This causes farmers to learn how to farm for many other crops. Fourth: Better out buildings wiil be erected, more timber used, and better care will be taken of the cows, thus increasing the unit production of any and all cows. It is remarkable how little care our dairy cows now receive. Fifth: Cows, well cared for, means fertilizer will accumulate in the yard and more system in handling of this necessity will be done. At present this is taken care of in all kinds of ways, and often in the most manner. Sixth: Better cows will increase the united production. On the same a much feed, with better care, be sure. will higher butter fat yield This insures our fourth notation, that is, better buildings. Byt it also demands our third proposition. hat is, more good cow feed and hat brings several crops, includ-a- g better hay. As a result of the six proposi-ioc- s above stated, we conclude hat we need more dairy cows, and re should have them with the least ossible delay. If we are agreed on his simple conclusion, then the nly propositions are: When shall we get them? How hall we finance' the buying of hem?

It is high time that the citizens of this great inland empire take a survey of the present possibilities and seek the help of our friends from the outside: THE UINTAH BASIN This great area of the state possessing great possibilities of development is unknown to most of our citizens and too much neglected. Peopled bv men and women of pioneer stock and themselves living today almost at the last frontier, hardy, courageous, steadfast In their hopes and ambitions, they have undergone hardship after hardship, but triumphantly look to the future with assurance. If most of the people of Utah would, as the writer often has, drive through this great empire in Eastern Utah, its needs and requirements would receive proper recognition. First of all the people of the basin are entitled to the best transportation possible. This today means a first class highway and a first class transportation line, subsidized if necessary. Ohance for a railroad are still indefinite, so it is essential that the state government txeit itself to afford the next best thing. The residents of Duchesne and Uintah counties are entitled to assistance as a matter of right. Furthermore there is danger that by the ..me development comes, their interest and friendship may have been alienated due to our own inercia. Colorado looks with envious eye on the trade from this great section. Why not have the starting of a good dairy herd on every farm in the Uintah Basin by the end of 1929, two years hence, it is no impossible? , . |
