oneff one of the tile choicest blessings a beneficent creator can vouchsafe to the children of men importance OF agriculture it is is generally conceded that sue successful agriculture underlies the prosperity pro peri of the state it is the recognized spring and bourge bourse of all other industries its importance is paramount scientists tell us that every muscular effort as well as every intellectual one consumes the tissue of the human organism in proportion pio portion to its intensity As a natural sequence then the tho nood food that is daily consumed is absolutely needed to keep up a continuity of action and thought should the husbandman abandon his labair labors for a year or two the civilized world would bo be nearly de populated the same perhaps cannot be affirmed of any other avocation from the records ca ads of statisticians belans wo we also learn the tile relations which exist between a pro prosperous epe rous agriculture and the advancement van cement of morality crime I 1 ii i diminished and morality increased I 1 in f it those years when grain is most plentiful and cheapest advantages OP OF agricultural prosperity where food is abundant and cheap will be low

statistics of utah were by order of the legislature carefully collected and compiled which proved of great value and they were extensively copied in the tile circulars and reports leports issued by the department of agriculture A at washington washinton ton of late la te tile the statistics of tr agriculture have been only partially elected collected and sufficiently reliable liable le data are not accessible acce sibie sible from which to obtain with any degree of or accuracy trustworthy agricultural statistics As it is ati an axiom that statistics lie at the foundation of improvement it is to bo be hoped that the legislature at its next hes bes bessio sessio sio will enact the needful legislation to secure the same CHOICE CEREALS from my you youth th F E have been intimately connected with agricultural pursuits and have always been deeply impre impressed sed with their importance and utility the department of this exhibition gives me much satisfaction not that our specimens are arc so very numerous but because of the fine quality of tho the cereal grains which challenge challe ngo ngn the admiration of tile the ag agriculturists that visit our territory EXPORT exportation ATIO atlo 1 OF PRODUCE the export of grain rain lat laet year was carried on to a considerable extent and tin this s season there is promise that not only tha tho grains of utah but iut her ber roots
