In 1945, the amount of land used for these same agricultural agri-cultural purposes jumped to 54 percent. .. Similarly, in 1940, only 255,793 acres of land which were being utilized 1a the production of agricultural commodities were owned by farmer-operators. In 1945, the acreage of farmland owned by farmer-operators had Jumped to 427,384 acres. During the same period from 1940 to 1945, the number of farmer-operators In Utah County under 35 years of age Increased by 23 percent, and the number between the ages of 35 and 54, by 41 percent per-cent . Obviously, Utah County farmers farm-ers now find there Is an opportunity oppor-tunity at home for earnings which support a reasonable standard of living.

Nevertheless, Nev-ertheless, without the Jobs and payrolls which have been pro vided by Oeneva Steel Company, the other contributing factors could not have resulted in such great improvement as that experienced ex-perienced in the agricultural economy of Utah County during the past few yean. The facts which I have cited, constitute, I believe, reasonably reliable .evidence that iron and steel production and related man ufacture In Utah have assisted substantially in achieving a bet' ter balance in the over-all econ omy of the State and In provld ing directly and indirectly wider And better employment oppor tunltles for its citizens. At the same f ime, this industrialization instead of detracting from or In terfering with neighboring agri cultural pursuits, is actually bol stering and stimulating the agri cultural economy so that it, too, may more surely continue Its significant contribution to the welfare of the people." 1951 Pontiac Shown By Paul L.
