cultivated and improved by the toil ton worn hand tr T our f fathers to the end that wethe we their lr children and their children s children would tae be made secure and happy through the days that were to come today great clouds of industrial hover over an all landa and ue look with grave concern to the safety of our homes wondering with anxiety just what the future may hold friends I 1 stand before you this day representing gnp caf of those pioneer families sho ho led the way into this basin and in that same tine fine spirit of advancement and with a steadfast faith in the principles they

human progress upon which our empire was bonte comes only thru se curill and security comes only through the practice and living of the fundamental laus las of human independence guided by the L mory of the past mingled with the hope for the future it us search out those factors that will make sure trie the future of the uintah basin our financial will be niale sate safe when the tanners farmers of abe basin begin to tio study their farms as a business it Is sheer folly to entertain the delusive idea that w e can profit from flom a farm fam that Us controlled heedless to the governing circumstances circumstance the rho word farm signifies a fancied vision of a parden let us pause here I lere and say that one me of the corner stones in our financial security is a garden for every home the amount of time space and local conditions determine the size and type of this garden Howe however ivr it should produce at least seven vegetables to be eaten fresh and four lor for canning storing and drying the possibility lity of busing fruit on the farm should not be neglected small fruits such as berries plum or cherries add variety to the winter supply another comer stone in this structure tor for self sustaining farm ard horne home units is milk production the medical profession Is readily recognizing milk as one of the essentials senti als ls of we life for keeping the body fit milk has no substitute this Is shown by the statement that if the muk were ere cut off from the city of new york tor for forty eight hours thousands of babies would suffer death it is a rule of health that aery person peron under the age of twenty five live bears cars should have one quart of milk EL a continued on page three BASIN COULD SAVE lum um BY USING OWN PRODUCTS continued iron page one day and at least least a pint a day eter after the twenty fifth birthday therefore every farmer should taise ta ise and alid take care of enough cows to supply milk butter end and cheese needed by the family in a recent speech made by a lc i of the utah poultry association to tile the lions club in one of our basin towns he tol told them that if the people would gi go into the poultry business and sup pv phy the california markiet market with eggs and meat he would assure them of bringing into this rasin basin five thousand dollars a week 20 a month or in a year yea r there Is opportunity for everyone another problem that confronts the average home builder in his struggles c for independence Is that of providing pio viding clothing through the he combined efforts of the entire family this problem may be made small each cud and every one of use ime can clean remodel and repair our own clothing even the children have bave the opportunity to learn to hw fw thru the 4 11 climb work made possible jossim for us by the extension service biben I 1 hen we have the trained teachers to teach us in public schools and as a result children childre ns s clothing nad and in fact clothing for the entire family may be made at home along with dewing we should learn to wash and cord wool for bedding probably we ae are not used to fc is s other sears our financial condition has been such that we se could afford to send our wool to mills to be made ready for quilts but in these linus when we have no mon ly and warmth during the cold winter months depends to a certain extent upon the bedding surely we can wash and cord the wool for our own quilts tor for one average quilt it takes only from three to four pounds of wool or one half of the cleaned m wool ool from one oie o ie good maed sheep if we will bogin bo gin at shearing time ve ate will find the task much easier information as to washing and cording wool may map be secured from the extension service another cornerstone
