Show NEED OF COMPETENT OR-CHARDISTS. OR-CHARDISTS. A prominent fruit grower of tlus state recently called our attention to the great need of competent foremen for large orchards. This nuan toTd us that he would gladly pay $1200 a year and furnish house and garden to the right kind of a man to take charge of an orchard of 100 acres, and in addition ad-dition would allow him of course the amount of money to pay for the necessary nec-essary number of assistants. For a positio'h of this kind it is essential that the man should be honest and industrious, and in addition have the necessary knowledge of horticulture. There arc thousands of men in this state today who may have one or two of these qualities, but who fail to combine com-bine all! three of them. Hundreds of our farm boys, honest and industrious, arc flocking to the cities and securing positions on street cars, or as salesmen sales-men or bookkeepers, and wc can safely say that these boys will never Qwn a home of their own as long as they hold to these positions, ' these same boys would add to the qualifications qualifi-cations that they already possess, that nf honesty and industry, the 'knowledge of horticulture, it would not be ten years until they would be independent and comfortable for life that gives this training, and it seems a pity that these positions should go begging, when wc have the iboys, wc have the institution properly -equipped and manned, and it seems that the only thing lacking is that they should iconic to gcthcr in some way. TI1I3 business is growing in this state. During the past week a caller at this office, a man of some means, from Wisconsin, came in to tell us that he proposed investing in fruit lands in Utah county. He wants a man, a man who has been trained, to take care of his orchard, and who is honest, hon-est, sober, and industrious. Young men of Utah, look to the future, and it will require no straining strain-ing of eyes to sec the independence of life for those who choose a career that will keep them in close touch with nature. |
