legitimately entitled t to all there to is io in this tho climate is vo probably superior to california for this fruit curing is a simple proc process esp demand is fair and can be increased five thousand dollars was spent last year for pruned efforts are bet being UK made in the north where the hardiest handiest har diest varieties will likely do well A longer season and nd different soil belong to the south mouth and nd the finer the more tender kinds kind might approximate to the turkish prune or yet finer french the consumption oon of olives is an increasing one in utah they come high too whether bottled in france or california properly supplied aup plied in bulk there might with reduction in price be many more used but the desirability of olive culture arises from the great use of olive oil among the latter day saints and the pure genuine article would command their entire trade several grades are now manufactured in california in connection with olive pickling it takes fakes many thousand dollars seven to supply the people with this article a small business it to is true but if 11 it should in its purity enter into our domestic economy for cooking as it does to in the homes of our jewish brethren the demand would be ever increasingly great the simple article of mustard should be a southern product california exports seed in immense quantities east and to europe we import manufactured mustard from england and elsewhere to the sum annually of six thousand dollars who that to is a lover of syrup does not remember the fine rich article male years yeara ago from the amber sorghum we have syrup now we have the sugar factory but there is au ai unfilled demand for the old genuine senu ine satisfying goods Dix dixie iel could grow and put up syrup of that class and probably capture most of the eight to ton ten thousand dollars pid paid yearly for an inferior and unsatisfactory product the long southern season with limited probabilities of frost whether early or late should make it an in trenched basis of supply for pickles of all 11 II kinds utah imported importer ei last year over four thousand keg kees to say nothing of batted pickles english eastern and california twenty thousand dollars will not cover our purchases of pickles for one year and we can if we will make them all aliat at home if as some say ay it la in desirable to have money here continuously and in Iti increasing creasing quan city too much praise cannot be given to those who have attempted to supply the demand in any of these directions that some have failed should not prevent more intelligent effort and partial success should create an ambition to entirely succeeds the most notable success has baa been in ii I i the canning of tomatoes probably not less than four thousand cases ot of homemade home made goods every way creditable have been sold per year of late which means ten thousand dollars or about halt half the consumption exclusive of the general housewife housewives a supply one thousand dollars was spent pent for imported tomato catsup but botti botn this and the canned enough to exclude from outside sources should be made in utah either in the north or south A few more moie such indefatigable work ore erg RO as bishop judd of st george who has experimented anted in olives in peanuts and in many other directions would surely make of the south a veritable hive of industry and men of means by the formation of companies like the one which in the sunny south has made canals and planted several hundreds of acres to fruit possibly preparatory to canning are all in the same direction of industrial independence and if prospered of exportation also the items named are preeminently pre pro eminently suited to the south and a recapitulation may lead thinkers and workers in that section or this to the possibilities around us w raisins canned armed fruit tru lt peanuts almonds prunes olive oil and olives Alu mustard karup sorghum pickles 2000 tomatoes Tomato ea and ketchup total startling as these figures are who shall deny the possibility or practicability of supply from our southern settlements if enterprise and unity combined with thoughtful and aighes a sive labor should determine to solve the industrial question for them themselves no erratic intemperate or poorly considered effort in regard to any of these products will bo be of avail the first query naturally arising would be are our climate and soil suitable for the production of any orall or all these articles named if so which comes nearest to our present experience and opportunities tuni ties and for which is the demand least limi limited teo then can we take further preparatory steps in regard to any branch which finally needs a railroad for complete success will individual production that which appears desirable or will it be to out our advantage to combine and how best can this be done are we enough in earnest to most meet in competition any of these articles tiow now imported if these queries are answered in the affirmative by a thoughtful and determined peo ale ples the star of the south would speedily j be in the ascendant and our dixie would become linked to the north by the bands bande of mutual interest in trade as alsehe she now is by political destiny as a territory and a prospective state and by that indomitable faith which has been the inspiration of labor in the glorification of the desert whether north or south |
