Gr jcrnor Spry Speaks. The primipaPaddress of the closing day's sessions was delivered this morning morn-ing bv liovernbr Spry. The state executive ex-ecutive a accorded distinct praise by 3 the association wlieu resolutions were adopted this afternoon commending him for his requirement that only Utalj, nia'de goods be purchased for his own household and all state institutions, lie ; was also lauded for his suggestion that a closer co-operation be brought about among growers, canners, jobbers, retailers, re-tailers, manufacturers and others inti- , match interested in the success of the I , ..industry, j ( - In, his address of the morning the 'governor urged the canners not to paint too optimistic piituros tor the futue, but be conservative and satisfied with the solid growth' that has marked the past history of the industry. He added: ' tV are getting bak to some of the methods of co-operation that were in use forty years ago, when co-operation meant the upbuilding of the sU,tc, and when men were closer together "because of conditions. condi-tions. And it is not a bad idea to get back to somesof these methods. meth-ods. There is a truth in that old policy of buying1 at home so that the qnonpy will stay home, along with the goo'l,s, instead of sending both money and "goods away, i There is one thing that I feel f ;it liberty to urge upon you at ; This tijue and that is a more sys-trmVfir sys-trmVfir effort to get the goods .before .be-fore the pxiblk'. The canners should advertise more ; liberally in every way. Wo here in Utah know all j about the canning industry, and perhaps got the idea that tbe peo-pie peo-pie of other states are equally informed in-formed on the subject, but is it a fact? ' Lectures Are Heard. As the. htate food commissioners down on the programme failed to attend the meeting, the remainder of the morning session was given over largely to lectures lec-tures bv Professor H. P. Ilagan, entomologist en-tomologist of the Utah Agricultural college, col-lege, and John W. Davis, chemist at the same int itut ion. Professor Ilagan spoke exclusively of Hie worm and in- V ect pests that attack products used most, extensively by eiinnors. The lecture lec-ture was considered to be of such value to Ihe growers that, it will be prepared in bulletin form for distribution. Professor Pro-fessor lnvis discussed the nitrates that, are of particular value as fertilizers for cHiuiorv products. R. M. Klse.n. president of the Utah Be-tail Be-tail Merchant s ' association, was to have addressed the canners, but, being unable un-able to be present, he delegated Joel .T. !4.a-ris, president of the Ogden association, associa-tion, to represent him. Mr. Harris declared de-clared that the retail merchants of the entire stale could always be depended u pi in by the ca nners for co-operat ion. ill is easv to make the first tale of " Utah-made " goods, according to Mr. Harris, but after that the sales must ' depend upon quality. The merchants j urged upon the association members the i necessity of advertising, particularly newspaper nh'ertiing, in order to sue-leessl'ully sue-leessl'ully compete w it h the manufactur- ers of outside products. Entertaiied by Mayor. At noon a bout" t w enty-ti e of the can-' ners,. logo her with visitors who were in the city in connection with the convention, conven-tion, were the guests of Mayor A. R.

William Spry of Utah was ono of the most inspiring features of this convention and we recommend that this association asso-ciation extend its thanks and gratitude grati-tude to him, also voicing its appreciation appre-ciation of the fact that "he requires that Utah-made goods be used in his own mansion and at the state institutions in-stitutions over which he has supervision super-vision and charge. We also desire to ex-press our approval of his sugges tion that there be closer co-operation between the farmers, the canners, can-ners, the jobbers and retailers, as well as others interested in the upbuilding up-building of industry in this state; including the Utah State Agricultural Agricul-tural college, the state pure food commission, the Utah Manufacturers' Manufactur-ers' association and other public, and semi-public institutions and organizations. or-ganizations. Sorrow Is Expressed. We feel that this association --should at this time express its deep feeling of loss through the demise of J. W. lo wry of the Springville Canning Can-ning company and to extend its sympathy to the bereaved family.
