Show the (Mines loom m 11 01 1 Manager of Millcr-Cahoon i Company Gives Out Optimistic Review. j 1 i "Reports from our travelers who cover all of Utah and touthcrn Idaho, show prospects for bu&'.ness during the current years are very encouraging-. Jjuring the last month a considerable amount of moisture has fallen In practically all of this territory. The farmers report in most districts that tho v.inter wheat is in exceptionally good condition and if weather conditions are fa vT Table there will be a larger acreage of spring: planting plant-ing this year than ever before in either Utah or Idaho. The government guarantee guar-antee of price on the If 15 wheat crop, together with tho gu.-;ranto of price on ' beels and some of the vegetable's, contracted con-tracted by th-j cann-.vri has .:riuy i ed the fanners to plant a, many acres of the various crops on which good prices 1 2rc guaranteed, as conditions will per- 1 niit. j "in order to do this there is already a 1 very iivp'y demand for tillage tools of;iiJ sorts and especially f..r Vys tractors. Farin help is still tcrirce and expt-nsjve ' atid the only way the farmer with a. largo acreage can put in hie nia:;iinuiQ crops xs by using tractors and tho machinery ma-chinery that goes with them. Our contracts con-tracts on this class of machinery, up to this dato, are far in excess of what we ant icipated earlier In the season. "There also Peems to be a marked tendency ten-dency for increase in the dairy business. Our sales during the last six months on dairy ba ru equipment has been far in exce-3 of any previous year. On account ac-count of the high price of alfalfa hay during the last two or threo yc-ars, the dairymen a nd farmers iu general ha vc bven investigating the devices and machinery ma-chinery that would give them the maximum maxi-mum value out of every pound of hay that they fed to their cattle and horses. As a result of this investigation th'".,e has been a lively demand for alfalfa, cutters. Our company, who arc handling the Gehl Brothers' alfalfa cutter, which is an all-steel machine, havo enjoyed a very good trade in this class of machinery machin-ery during the winter, months. Farmers are fast learning tha i alfalfa has at least 25 per cent more f'jcd value if it is cut up so tha t the stuck will eat all of the hay. The increased dema nd in recent years in tills class of machinery is evidence of the increasing prosperity of the farmers and those who are in the dairy business. i "The automobile business for "J f 1 r also looks very encouraging.
