Among these was one at Denver, Colorado, by a large oil company, one at Independence, Missouri, by the L. D. S. Relief Society, and one at Salt Lake City by the chamber of commerce. Street parades by the band were made at Salt Lake City, Denver, and Kansas City. On Thursday, the last day of the convention, the Utah delegation delega-tion made a tour into the country, visiting among other points of interest, in-terest, the Longview and Chapman farms. The Chapman dairy farm is the largest unit and is reputed to have the most modern equipment equip-ment of any farm in the country. The Longview farm is primarily a dairy farm, but the owner of the farm, Mrs. Lulu Long Combs, owns some of the most noted horses and barns in the country. The horses from this estate have won many prizes at horse shows throughout the country. C. of C- Guests The trip ended with a full day at Salt Lake City.
