Richard Brereton, who was one of Utah county's strongest supporters at l the State Horticultural convention, held in Salt Lake recently, is quoted in one of the Salt Lake newspapers aa a great advocate of Altah county' fruit. Mr. Brereton had the following follow-ing to say about .the .possibilities of this section: "We are among the counties," said Mr. Brereton, "which understand that we have great fruit land, but we have not know n it very well until recently. As a consequence of our awakening, we have transformed thousands ot acres of sagebrush country into orchards or-chards which in' a few years will be predttefHgTBfflyTsMhr ftntTofiathSnr apples in the country. We can see where I'tah county is going to take a strong' stand for the leading fruit center of the state and we can see where other counties will have to do some tall stepping if they want to keep up our pace. " "We have found that the soil ol many valleys and uplands in Utah county is admirably adapted to the cultivation of fruit, whereas other crops have been failures. The result is that many oMhe farmers are buying buy-ing up ground which, until recently, was unclaimed and unoccupied. Farmers Far-mers in that locality are also finding that orchards furnish a very good means of using lands which are no longer valuable for the raising of other crops. Much of the soil is worn out as tar down as the roots of ordinary garden Mini field products go, but the iii i able to secure good nourish.- r.it'.r. "One thing which we have been advocating ad-vocating strongly In I'tah county ta the using of more land for fruit. "In many farms we find that the owners are getting too old to do anr inMnfof,lrcea.and we, find that In uiany cases tneir sons nave gone to Canada or to some part of the I'nited States to secure cheap fruit lands. They do not siH-tn to realize that w hen they leave their homes they are lea-ing. lea-ing. In most cases, localities were they have the best fruit growing land in the world The old men are unable un-able to do the work and therefore we hae inui'li tine land lying idle In our county " LIQUOR CAUSES LINDON NEWS Mitt Mina Wadlfy L.li'b'li It atiliu i'i W.H.I : I. oil il I'i! ink.' pally l.
