Show i;fy CONCERNING YOU AND BUL- LETINS. rS t r t 1 1 I - V 1-n Logan, Utah, in the County of "' Cache and! situated on a beautiful hill , that overlooks the entire valley, is ithc Experiment Station of the Agricultural Ag-ricultural College of Utah. We give you this information with the idea in view- of having you v:sit the place if you ever stop in Logan. You ought to do this if you arc ever up in the northern county, because you sort of have a few shares in the institution. in-stitution. The plant is not ownod by Logan , nor by Cache Coun'tyi but Is owned j largely by the State of Utah and op erated primarily for the people of Utah. There is a corps of scientists and assistants up there working out ' . agricultural problems that arc vital 1 to our State. To get a little closer I to what we want to sny, they are working for you; you arc paying their I 1 I salaries. There is an idea prevalent among one class of farmers in the State that all the men up thcic arc working for, is their salaries, but the idea is a wrong one and the men who hold it are reaching the stage where they are not taken seriously at all by the man on the other side of the fence. Sometimes they are politely po-litely referred to as"mossbacks,"somc-times as"mossbacks,"somc-times more vigorous but less elegant, if possible, English is used. Of course, they draw their salaries as 11 matter of course, finding them useful in purchasing things to cat and! wear. Between salary times, however, they do work and it is a kind of work that has, up to the present, netted the State of Utah thousands of dollars. They -do work along the line of dry farming and the work they have done has -advanced desert land in Utah from $2.50 to $10.00 per ftarc. Utah has enough desert land to make the number of acres multiplied by $7.50 amount to n rather large tsurn, of money. They are working along other lines, orking for you. How many of you kpow just wlt they are doing? Tin way to find out is broad and oasy and costs one cent. Send your name to Dr. E. D. Ball, Logan, and tell him you want the bulletins from his station. sta-tion. This may seem like unnecessary adp FOUR Farmer .
