Started in Earnest Harvesting the huge potato crop n the fields operated by the Utah Brokers company, and located on the Qrozier farm west of Salina, was started with a rush Monday morning. Notwithstanding the rains during the week, the work has been going ahead unceasingly and the big crop is fast being moved from the fields to the large potato pit recently completed, located in the railroad yards. Trucks are being used to transport the potatoes from the patches and when the work is well started a fleet of six trucks will be used in hauling the potatoes from the patches. If weather conditions are favorable, Mr. Tark, superintendent, stated, the harvesting of the crop will be completed within three weeks. Some forty men are now employed in the digging, hauling and grading, and this crew will be maintained until the spuds are safely stored in the huge pit. This is the first attempt to grow potatoes on a large scale in this valley. Nearly 150 acres were planted in the spring and the returns are proving highly gratifying. Thus f:r, the potatoes are yielding from 225 to 250 bags per acre, and about 80 per cent are grading as No. ls. It has been announced that the brokerage company, following the good results of this year, and in the face of drouth conditions, will expand next year, and in addition to growing large acreages of potatoes, will raise beans, peas and other garden truck. The enterprise is proving & big asset to Salina and it affords employment to many of the residents. DISPOSES OF LAMBS. Chas.

Nielson : visited While absent Mr. Denver, later going to Placerville, where he maintains his sheep. He disposed of several hundred of his spring lambs at a fairly good price. The ranges, he reported, were not so good on account of the drouth. However, he will soon move the bands to San Juan county where feed conditions have been benefitted by recent rainstorms. Heavy Rainfalls Prove Beneficial Torrential rain in the valleys of Sanpete and Sevier counties, and a goodly fall of snow in the mountain , during the past week, setting a new has record for fall and summer, greatly benefitted conditions from a grazing and agricultural standpoint. Starting Monday evening with a rain that intermittently spread water over the two valleys, there was a continuance for three consecutive nights, and since the rainfall was heavy it resulted in soaking the ground several inches deep. Beet and potato digging were suspended for a day or so, but with clearing skies, the work is again be- ing resumed. The ground, due to the long dry period, was thoroughly dried, lrtUo or no moisture being risible while beets and potatoes were being harvested, and with the thorough soaking during the recent rains, there is a marked rhange. No reports have as yet been received as to the snowfall in the mountains, but the high prel are seen in a new covering of snow.
