Show editorials utan UTAH is termed nn an agricultural territory and buch bueb it la Is and haa hug been although now noted also for its mineral productions yet 13 strange to say tona tons of butter cheese pork P bacon and ham us as well as thousands of cans caus of preserved fruit fruitt fruity have peorl aeri and continue to be imported iuta the territory per por contra the present season wheat in considerable quantities hab has been exported to thuha theba stern states stales if this is the best that caubo cuabo oha caa be done doue if it is the most moat available way for the utah farmer to obtain the means which he needs we have havn no ol 01 oj j actions to ommer offer none r bui bub it is a subject deserving of burlous thought if it ic is the best beat policy for tur our farmers to pay 2000 milea miles freightage on their wheat and for the community to pay 2000 miles freightage on their b utter butter cheese bacon and canned fruit in return why who can object but then the question is is it the best befit policy we may assume this to be an open question for the present we have no desire to utter any definite decision upon it now but we think it is a question that presents itself for the serious consideration of all our citizens especially thaia interested in production from the soil as well as in the consumption of the products at first sight it seems to be bad policy to pay so much freightage to and fre fro ir but whether it is or is not is a matter to be settled by experience and calculation cu there are some points however which are considered proved such as that the continued removal ot ol grain crops unless an equivalent be returned to the soil in the shape ot oi fertilizing til izing material of one kind or another is a suicidal kind of farming which will surely wear out and ultimately exhaust the soil soll to comparative barrenness that it is better to produce those artl arti articles lies lles which are in demand at home than to pay freightage on them coming from a dista distance nce uce if the home raising of them can be engaged in to advantage that it is better to export that produce which least exhausts the soil if it can be made remunerative and that it is better where profitable to export manufactured articles antl anti olea clea than raw produce it is held that the production of meat butter eggs and cheese does not exhaust the tho soll boli so quickly as continued grain production because of the manure returned to the soil by the former system and the opportunities which it affords for mixed crops the farmers ef cf england feed cattle calculating solely on the manure for profit their famous average grain yield would eoon fall woefully if they pursued the exhaustive hau stive system of grain farming the attention of our farmers should be directed towards the consideration of whether or not it would be more profitable to them to engage more extensively in the production of meat butter cheese and fruit for drying and canning and thus supply the demand for consumption at their very doors this demand is growing not only in utah but over most of the civilized world and will continue to grow with the increase of population it is a demand that is not likely to fail or to bec become ozara seriously weakened even oven temporarily and it should receive the consideration which is its due certain it is here is a large source of income going to waste right before our eyes and one which wo we a should not like to have to confess that our farmers are tire unable to bieze and utilize to a far greater extent than they do at present JOAQUIN JOAQUIM MILLER the poet of the bier sier ras rss has been interviewed by a reporter of the new now york sun and is represented as modifying many of the

published in yesterdays ter days NEWS must have bave thrown cold water upon the excited hopes of the advocates of the feroe ferocious loua policy the president expressly declares that such a change as

the influence of such just and generous sentiments as these his administration will at least deserve to tobe be successful IT would mould be just as well if some papers and persons persona in this

in britain would cease to indulge in their animadversion upon the same subject thesues the questions arbitrated upon were very irritating ones they were mutually submitted to high civil arbitration in

by her as ble abe is in an exceedingly prosperous condition notwithstanding strikes and harvest failure and cattle disease and coal failure alarms and there is really no great reabon reagon to grudge the decision of the arbitrators i it may not liot be what both parties could have wished it may not be what both expected it could hardly hadly have been wholly satisfactory to both it may not be just jus tto ito both but what of that it is the cheapest way that either could have I 1 gone to work wore to adjust the difficulty if it is a precedent it is id a precedent for both nations it to is a mild and bloodless way of settling the dispute and if both parties are not altogether satisfied with it the best thing they can do will be to accept it and abide by it if really unjust to either nation that nati onby acceptance of the de cislon decision will have bave the merit murit of bf conceding what it cond coni considers iders it its s for the sake of international peace and prosperity IT will manifestly be to the advantage of the community if the production and manufacture of useful articles be encourage dand prosecuted to the fullest practicable extent this is an old story and is so GO familiar as aa to have become almost trite to our readers nevertheless erth eless it is a subject upon which is based the material welfare of ef the community the abundance of production or rather of production over oven consumption constitutes material wealth and if this community would be really and permanently antly prosperous it should produce should produce more than it con cou consumes and to bring about this thib des deb desirable irble irbie condition should be the thought the wish and the aim of every citizen true enough the idea prevails too extensively that exchange speculation or professional business of some kind klud is the only creditable occupation but this is a great mistake production of useful articles is as honorable as any possible occupation sometimes we are inclined to think buch such occupation the most honorable of all so far as brofee professions or occupations preserve improve or judic loudly distribute what is produced they are honorable but otherwise not nob much so production however la Is the great graat substantial fundamental undeniable source of prosperity and wealth and this kind of labor should be remunerated encouraged t and stimulated to the utmost reasonable extent and in every fairly practicable direction the other day we adverted to the largo field for enterprise and exertion in this direction in the matter of the production of butter cheese eggs meat fruit etc in thebe these articles there is ample room for much of the labor energy and skill which our citizens claiz ans possess and those who engage in business of t this thib Is description should endeavor to produce the beat best articles of the kind not resting satisfied with an inferior article A good name in business brings more business and that means such desirable de things as prosperity wealth opulence in the matter matterson sot of butter and cheese making especially the latter a combination of interest and exertion is highly desirable because thereby a superior article is much more likely to be produced in the manufacture of butter and cheese in private families the proper skill and attention necessary to make a first clam class article are frequently lacking very often the cleanliness essential Is not observed this could be easily rectified in combined or operative cooperative co oo manufacture manu fac ure as Is the case in the eastern states and III in some portions of the old world in europe american factory cheese has a high reputation and it is not unknown in this market neither is butter from the eastern states in fact utah produces but a small percentage of the cheese consumed in the territory good cheese cheed so can be made here and on the factory principle perhaps as good as can oan be made any where ceTta certainly good enough to command a fair price in our home market why is not this manufacture moro more extensively engaged in inz it might be made a source of large arge revenue and thereby a great leakage of money or its equivalent would be stopped if bleon bacon and ham are eaten they may be produced in the territory just as well as bent sent for from the east one thing is certain home cured bacon and ham are generally considered superior to the beat that is imported and such accords with our experience sot not only pork fresh or salted but mutton and beef areal are always ivans marketable and for good pay their production shou should I 1 d be encouraged and increased As to dried fruits utah dried apples and peaches are of much superior quality ty to thosa bose imported from the east and they command higher figures owing to grasshopper visitations visitation for several late years the local apple crop was poor but hut this year it was abundant peaches though not this season so heavy a crop as usual have been more certain than the apple crop and when dried they fetch a higher price per pound in this business of producing pro ducin dried peaches there is a market for all ali aff that the territory can or at least is likely to produce we can not term it a precarious crop for after all it is a pretty regular one especially with seedling peaches it takes little labor luor to raise peaches it is one of the easiest crops to raibe raise though in drying time the work is close and ani driving enough but lt it ont only odly lasts a few weeks five acres of peach orchard well managed will bring more cash income than many other five aclei cultivated by bj our farmer farmers sano and bemid bealda ea will produce a large amount of excellent firewood there are other fruit crons cross besides apples and peaches which afford an opportunity port unity for swelling ew elling the income either by selling belling fresh or dried or canned or preserved there are goose berries currants raspberries rasp berries blackberries strawberries etc why is not this fruit business more extensively engaged edin in again there is the silkworm culture it has been demonstrated that a good quality lit y of bilk blik and a superior quality of eggs can be produced in this territory and also that in brance prance exists a market at remunerative prices priced for all the silk silkworm eggs that utah can produce of a quality equal to the specimens sent by or through mons mone L A bertrand of this city here is an ah |
