Its irregular, area covers a little over 2,000 square miles, and lies just to the west of the Wasatch range, which form its eastern boundary and absorbs a considerable percentage of its ara. .Almost sQuare-lin its center just a trifle to the north and west is Utah lake, the sec-ond largest body of fresh water west of Lake Superior. In a comparatively narrow strip between this lake and the Wasatch' rango on the east lies practically the whole of the land vhich is at present under cultivation. Through it runs a chain of healthy towis beginning with Leiii on the north jshore of the lake, and then swinging first to the southeast and then .to the southwest, following in a general way the outine of the lake's east shore nearly to the southern boundary of the oounty. Resides Lehi, the chain consists of American Fork, Pleasant Grove, Provo, Springville, Spanish Fork, Payson and Santaquin, and these principal towns ire flanked by twice as many smaller ones. Of the towns named, Provo is the largest, with a population of over 10,000, and six of the others have populations greater than 2,500. ., The total population ot the county is boot-shape- d y and-extendi- ng 40,000. The long "toe" of the "boot," extending far to the Wst and south of the lake, comprises a very hilly country, quite largely unsuited for farming of any sort.

AUTO ROUTE WEST f ROM SALT LAKE CITY Westgard, the automobile pathfinder, who has been in Salt Lake for some time investigating routes leading from Utah to Nevada, expresses himself as follows 'in favor of the route around the south end of A. L. Salt. Lake: "The forty niiles across the desert following the 'yVestern Pacific tracks can be made into an ideal road, inasmuch as there is a gravel bank- which can be widened without the hauling of dirt by team. .The dirt can be dropped from flat cars on the railroad grade. The grade can then be widened an additional twelve feet. The cost of this work will not be more than f 15,000, and it could be accomplished In iess than thirty days. "The route also has great scenic possibilities, giving motorists a change from, the mountains to the desert and thence acrosa a level bed of salt for a distance of twelve miles.

To the west of the lake the land is rolling, more and more pronouncedly as it reaches back to the Oquirrh Range, and.-wtthe single exception of the Mosida pumping project, is wholly unirrigated.

This, is tru3 of some' of the bench lands Let ween the string of towns and the hills, especial ly toward the south half of the county, and is also true of a considerable share of the low bottom lands lying toward, the lake. Some of these bottomlands are now uiiarable owing to their waterlogged condition, nevertheless they will one day be farmed, together with thousands of acres of lands against the lake aniew Zuyder Zee. The government has already secured data looking to the accomplishment of this end. All told, less than 10 per cent of the land is now under cultivation. Between 35 and 40 per cent can eventually be irrigated and another 35 per cent may be farmed without irrigation. The census gives some very interesting figures Indicating that only 8.5 per cent of the farms were over 175 acres in size and that only 35 per cent were over 50 acres, and further, that a very considerable portion of these two classes of farms are not actually in cultiva tion. There are 65 per cent of the farms under 50 acres, 30 per cent under 20 acres and 11 per cent under 10 acres. Nothing could more clearly indicate the general character of the ' farming in the county.
