IIAUT Richard A, Hart, United States reclamation drainage engineer with headquarters at Salt I.ake City, is performing great work in the state of Utah. Much of Mr. Harts work is being done, in connection with farm bureau agents who are in a position to influence farm land owners along the line of soil drainage. In Davis drained county much land through the educational compaign conducted by Mr. Hart, and much more will be reclaimed this summer and in the future. After a great deal of hard work he has succeeded iai awakening the farmer-lanowner, and once awak- ened he can't very well be stopped. The next project to be put over in Davis county is In the territory from Haights bench to drainage district No, 1, west of Woods Cross. This territory will probably be organized as a drainage district in the near future. If a man is to be blessed for making twj blades of grass grow where but one grew before, what will be the exaltation of him who brings in tens of thousands of acres ANOUK d f DAVIS COUNTY FARM BUREAU EXCURSION .

Architecturally thia barn is the finest the writer has seen in this state and outclasses the famous cock and bull barn (so called from the bull and cocks which ornament the lightning rods) at NVellsville, in Cache valley. The Corbridge barn is provided with a large concrete stave silo, so popular in this region. Reclaimed Land. At 9:55 oclock the party was halted in the street west of lands owned by John Dennett, on which is growing a field of wheat which gives promise of a yield of 40 bushels to the acre or more. Thomas J. Thurgood explained that previous to a few- years ago the land was waterlogged and would not produce paying crops, and what the party saw was tho result of drainage put in at that time. In 1915, land owners had drained 190 i ;es of more or less waterlogged inn u! h 13,000 feet of drain tile, and today the land is fully reclaimed. From the Dennett land the route was through West Syracuse and on to West Point.. Along this route throe drainage machines, in active operation, were encountered and several miles of drains had been Before operations cense completed. fifteen miles of 4ile will he put in. Many years ago some of the best farms in Davis county were in this section, later becoming waterlogged several were abandoned. At this time many of thos(iarin are lining reclaimed, one of which is the old Syracuse bathing resort farm.

From Lagoon the party motored to the Cudahy Packing company plant at North Salt Lake. Here an hour was spent in the charge of guides who showed the party all the operations incident to a modern plant of its kind. The party was" conducted to the slaughtering room where hogs were being killed and dressed. They saw the killer, stick the hogs with a long knife while swinging by a hind leg, and got the full music of their squeals; they saw the dressers and government inspectors at their work and followed the steaming carcases into the re four-tenth- ket!

From West Point the party headed for the state highw ay and thence south through Clearfield, Layton and Kays-vill- e to the home of Doctor Qeaon, where is located the plant o the Utah Fruit Juice company, of which Dr. Gleason is manager. Here, in the canning room of the plant. Dr. Gleason gave a lecture on canning and ex- that his company made a 1 1 injustice of low prices for his products and the high freight rates he is called upon to pay and the amount of money he is called upon to part with for farm implements and mechincry, but he is going ahead doing his hit to feed the peoples, of the world who are haggling about hours of labor and wages. The farmer will never get his full share of the final price of his product, but he can walk- on his own acres, garner his crops, rear his famk ly and sleep under his own roof, far from the turmoil of the the great cities. Without him the denizen of the great white way, be he short day laborer or hanker, would go hungry. Great is the farmer when he wakes up, and it appears the average farmer of Davis county is getting fully avfcake to his advantages and opportunities. '. J a Surveys, Phone 71-K- -l Maps, F.stimate.

Rockefeller had to save his first thousand dollars. It earned the rest of his fortune. -- Character Earns Credit Saving men not only have capital for their efforts. In saving, they establish a reputation which will make it easy to secure additional capital when necessary.
