BRACKEN, SUPERINTENDENT OF EXPERIMENT NATION Our United States is often spoken of as an industrial nation and so it is in a measure, but agriculture is the predominating industry of our great land and so it has been ever since the Pilgrim fathers cultivated a part of our eastern share. In total wealth and in number of people living on the land agriculture is in a class by it Bel f. The importance of agriculture in any country is recognized by every man. The merchant, the lawyer, the doctor, and even the editors are dependent on this fundamental industry. The food we eat, the clothing we wear, the luxuries of life we enjoy are all directly or indirectly And Juab products of the field. County, located in the center of this state of ours is one of the connecting links in this vital chain. In extent this county stretches to the Nevada border on the west, a distance of about 114 miles. On the north we have 16 miles of concrete touching the Utah County line. To the east 14 miles connects Juab with SanPete. On the south the Millard line is 25 miles distant. Multiplying the width by our length our county covers an area of about 3132 square miles, or over 2,000,000 acres. Of this large domain only about 35,000 acres have been brought under the plow. The rest consisting of mountainous areas and desert land, is of value T he total only for range purposes. population of Juab County is 9,871, of this number 4,140 live in farming communities. The number of farms total 419. According to the assessment rolls we have 9,4(13 cattle and 86,000 sheep. AU of these sheep are, however, not resident in the county. The livestock industry in this county ty is one of our biggest agricultural assets. Every fall, when the cattle are brought from thene adjacent mountains on the east, carload after car load of steers and cows are shipped to our nearest markets California on the south and Salt Lake and Ogden on the north. For the management of livestock, Juab is well situated. Freight rates are to our advantage when shipments are made south, as eompured to sections to the north of The mountain range to the Nephi. east is excellent summer grazing, and in winter hundreds of head of stock allowed to are partly or entirely gather their feed from the cedar hills to the west. Juab stockmen are making money from cattle and sheep because of this fortunate combination. To feed the stock which remains on the farms sufficient hay of fine qunl-itis produced here in the valley. In addition to the hay, corn used si silage because of its high yield, is becoming an important factor in extending our feeding possibilities. And the soils which produce these forages coming as they do from the adja cent mountains, are rich in most all of the plant food elements necessary for successful crop production. Next to the stork industry of this county the famous Lev&n Ridge, noted fur the production of grain of excellent quality, is another one of our big agricultural assets. Eleven thou sand acres of wheat land producing a total of 150,000 to 250,000 bushels each year, has meant much to the agricultural development of this part of the county. Forty years ago the Ridge was covered with blue grass, later, due to over grazing, sagebrush came in. Now this beautiful area of land is a waving wheat field. Some of the men who did the pioneering on this virgin soil were looked upon with David suspicion as to their sanity. Broadhead who still operates his hold ings was at one time lodged in the county jail at Provo with a charge of pergury for swearing that he could grow crops successfully on this barren waste. Under the limited annual rainfall of only 14 inches and a evaporation from a free with water surface of 48 inches from April I, to November 1, it would seem almost impossible to grow crops successfully without supplementing the Such precipitation with irrigation. is possible however. I have seen 67 bushels of Turkey strike the canvas of a header on the Paxman farm, a record for such low precipitation. James Memmott, in 1921, had 200 acres of Kofod wheat give a total yield of over 7,000 bushels. While II, 000 acres of this land produces the wheat another 11,000 acres is fallowed for the next crop. Such a system is necessary under arid conditions for best results. What would this 22,000 acres produce if it were supplied with water! This is the next development for Juab county. When this happens the state of Utah, in fact I dare say the West, will have no finer beet fields and not better alfalfa patches than those on the Ridge. Situated on the crest of the Ridge is the Nephi Experimental Dry Farm. Since I have the honor of being superintendent I feel rather modest in Estabtelling of its achievements. lished in 1903 it stands as one of the oldest stations of its kind in the world. Its results are known wher ever dry land crops are grown. Students from Africa, China, and this year one from Turkey have studied the results on the farm. In addition, Dr. J. A. Harris, with an international reputation, has had chemists at work studying some of the fundamental reasons for drouth resistance in cereals itt our station. This year he is back with four highly trained men This to continue his investigations. I feel is worthy of mention and is something for the people of the state of Utah to be proud of. Last but of greatest importance in the agriculture of this county is tne human element behind the development and production, of which I have The spirit of the early piospoken. neers of this state is still apparent in the activities of this valley. They are conservative, they are optimistic; the days are never too long for them, when once convinced of an Idea they are there to stay, they are progressive as evidenced by our roads and school buildings, they believe in their God, and they are always hoping, and wishing, and working for a bigger and better Juab county.
