Preston Thomas, station ag-ricultural economist. Professor ThG:u:tS has put into printed form the results of this survey. This report, listed as Utah station bulletin No. 214, is now available for free distribution. "The purpose of the study," states Professor Thomas, "was to determine some of the outstanding production and marekting problems confronting the farmers in the Dixie section Jf He further Washington conuty.' states that "the object of the project was to secure a local picture of the farming situation as it relates to types of farming, size of farm, trel}ds of production, marketing methods and costs, and trade preferences for truck crops shipped from this area to the Salt Lake market and trade territory; also to determin the cornpetition from California for truck crops in the intermountain section and to study the possibility of exending the marketing of these products from the sections studied to the large eastern markets." Farm records were secured from 69 representative farmers of this district. Similar data were secured during the fall of 1928 from the producers of the Moapa valley, Nevada, where climatic and marekting condit ions are similar to those in Washington county. A comparison between the two studies is included in the bulletin. "The prices paid for bunched vegetables, peas, asparagus and tomatoes on the Salt Lake and Chicago markets during the early spring and late fall months," as stated by Professor Thomas, "indicate that the growers of Washington county have an opportunity to produce these commodities at a profit .... The products from these sections are probably superior to those produced in California.''

The organization is prepared for a vigorous winter. A party of pipe line workers was snow bound in Wyoming in a terriii.cally severe blizzard in February, and food was brought to them by airplane. Hardships such as these certainly compare with the struggles of the pioneers in blazing trails acrC¥S the continent 82 years ago. The natural gas men might well be called modern pioneers, blazing new trails of progress. NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT Mining Co. Principal place of business, 1\-lidvale, Utah.
