Ne. 4w method. pre-cipiati- Meon4-cIiu- ei V- - CHEAP ADVERTISING Now that the people of the Unitec States have awakened to the fact that a bupmer crop of Jood supplies necessary In order to feed the armies of the allies in Europe, the cry has v gone forth, seed more land, raise more crops. The farmers of this are country responding and a supreme effort is being made to produce the greatest crop in the history of this country. If it were not for the serious ness of the crisis some of the things one reads in the newspapers would be positively amusing, and the most hum orous are the propositions made by owners of large tracta of land who are offering their acres of raw, unculti vated land for farming free of rent The unsophisticated read 'these so called generous offers with amaze-menand comment on the patriotic de votlon of these gentlemen to the coun try, when as a matter of fact the own era of the land would be glad to pay several dollars per acre to have their lands improved and throw in the crop for a year or two besides. During the past two years just such opportunities have been extensively advertisec broadcast over this state and but few takers have been found. Saturday evening an enthusiastic young man, a student at the University of Utah, came home for the week end and at once took up the propo sition of farming a quarter section of raw land in Idaho, owned by his father. The young man explained that he had firmed a partnership with a fellow Btudent to farm the land provided it could be had free of rent. The father told hia son they could have the land but called his attention to the fact that $2000 would be required to commence operations and that two years would be required to produce a normal crop on the land. The young man had not thought of this phase of the proposition but was quick to grasp the situation, and as a result will spend a part of his time helping established farmers in seed time and harvest. As pointed out last week in these columns, there is but one way to show ones patriotism , in this direction and that is by getting into the farming game or by assisting those who have . farms and are practical farmers. As a matter of fact the most powerful incentive jfor increasing the crop area is the present high prices of farm products. The government should see to it that the farmers have tools, seed, horse feed and supplies ample to conduct their farms and when the crops are ready for-thharvest sufficient help to gamer the same. The ofi'er of raw land for eultiva- tion is a joke and should not be taken seriously by the public. Maintain good prices and help the farmer to run his farm plant, charging him normal interest and a fair wage scale for his help and the problem will be met. vrrzKLY Third: In localities where the rainfall is less than 15 inches, unless a very unfavorable condition exists, the fallovTthould be utilized with a cultivated crop. Beans of a good variety, preferably the Tepary of the Mexican jinto, should receive a large planting on account of their food value and the high price they will command. Cora and potatoes also can be planted on such .lands without materially disqualifying them for planting to, win ter wheat in the fall. Fourth: See that all fallow lands cropped to com, potatoes, beans, etc., are cultiated freely and kept cleaa of weeds. Also that all fallow lands with no crops are plowed and cultivated in due season and kept entirely free from weeds, so that these lands may produce in their strength next year. In the Cedar Valley, Iron County, the high and flood waters should be applied - to- - the. lands - and conserved by methods of cultivation. Almost any kind of an annual crop can be made safe under'thla method and such should be utilized and the faters made to do efficient duty. The seed question is rather a serious one and farmers should do all they can to locate good seed and report at once. - ty Information on the availability of seeds will be published from time to time. Other articles giving instructions on planting and care of crops will shortly follow. My brother farmers, let us produce is every pound of farm products it able the be us Let do. to possible make captains of our own farms and cause our and us serve countrys them u the very utmost. Such service will redound to our personal blessing and contribute materially to the pations needs.. The supreme hour is upon us. Let us strike and strike for a glorious victory.
