Show get together and boost it pays says gerrit fort now well double our profits said utah when with the rest of the world it read he bo startling news that the tha union pacific railroad company was to spend in double tracking and improving its system from omaha west to the pacific coast boast and then that means mean we will got moreon the right kind of people was their shout when gerrit genit gen it fort pas passenger bassenge r traffic manager of tho the system announced that the biggest sum ever appropriated for advertising by any concern was to be spent to tell the world ot of the advantages ot of utah and other parts of 0 union pacific territory as a place to build homes and not only make r s living but amass a competence the land shows held in chicago by th the e united states land irrigate irrigation I 1 on exposition company and the western land products exposition held at omaha opened our eyes to the advantages of telling the good things thing about utah said mr fort more than people crowded into the coliseums Coli in chicago and omaha during the two weeks ot of the show to see the display of products ot of the west and south and the land hunger shown by them did much to convince us that we could not go wrong in spending our money to bring colonists to this great west which makes thousands ot of dollars for or it people gather the best belt utah raised malmd when we began our plans tor for the land shows wo we found that in the far northwest and in the south and southwest there was a well developed community spirit among the people who were planning exhibits and that they were working hard to gather gin gln the best of to take to chicago and omaha then we went out into our own territory and looked things over the people had heard beard ot of the land shows but they knew their own advantages so BO well that they believed that every one else in the united states know them riso also and so the community spirit so tar far as the exposition was concerned was not shown wis we men ot of the union pacific know knew that that would not do wo we were proud of 0 what utah Is doing and ad so we made up our minds that the utah booth in the union pacific display en must us t show the best As a result oui our men wire sent out through the state and they gathered the best ot of the fruits the best of the grains and the grasses that the state grew these were carefully packed and placed on an board union pacific cars an and hauled c g aullen free of all charge to achl chicago a and omaha om aha wb where re they were arranged to 0 o the best advantage in the utah booth utah booth a winner and that utah booth was a ala ner ncr declared mr fort enthusiastically there never was a time from the moment the dars ot of the exhibit 0 opened re ned in the morning until they closed at ight n that the space in front of it was not crowded with people the big lecture halla balls of ours were filled clied tc the doors every time there was a talk on utah it was only a regard for the fire ordinances that kept us from blotting the people stand up tip in the halls the moving pictures and the stereopticon views of I 1 the he scenic wonders of the state slate and the even more wonderful work being done dene with dry farming and in the building of the big bg irrigation projects kept crept tho the people breathless we re had trained lecturers and they told in a simple and elre t manner of the results to bo be obtained on utah farms ani and ranches 0 chicago furnishes tx t x colonists you know cont nied mr fort that chicago and chicago territory furnish six tenths of all the people who seek now new homes in the west government statistics tell us that arid and so the land show gives us its an unparalleled chance to display the best we have utah has thousands upon thousands of cres of the bluest laud in tho the united states today and with I 1 her r splendid streams there I 1 la s wa water tor enough to irrigate a great part pan of tills this land and it into farms worth millions of dollars it takes population to bring up laud land values and with the population not only come increased land values but greater crops and a new prosperity that Is reason that we are finest fruit growing sections in the world many private companies are being formed and these are building huge dams and storage reservoirs in which tho the flood waters that heretofore havo have rushed away to waste themselves will be impounded tl and made to bring into bearing thousands ot of acres of what are now waste lands in the northern part of the file state are also many great areas which are now devoted to stock raising but where it has beer proved that the campbell system of dry farming may be made most moat profitable dairying a source of profit dairying Is a source of great profit to the farmers who are engaged in it utah Is eminently preeminently pre a dairying state as the conditions are ideal the winters are as a rule mild and open and little shelter Is needed tor for the cows then too the augat beets which form a large part of the crops of the state are made to pay a double profit they are sold to the mills for good prices and the pulp Is taken back to teed feed to the cows as it furnishes a most nourishing and even ration couple this to alfalfa and there Is little need for or grain teed feed at any time of the year in diversified farming the men of utah have grown wealthy the over aver bigo profit per acre running about ind nd with the thousands ot of people from he east who will flock to this state then illen the truth Is told them of its resources our ces they hey will grow even more prosperous because of the increased values nowhere in the country are AL I 1 T 4 4 a XIA rg L I 1 f L 44 PART OP OF LAND SHOW EXHIBIT making tills this great advertising appropriation pria tion we know that it if the money in oney la 13 spent in telling ol of the latent wealth that lies ilea waiting tor for the man with a little money a lot ot of energy and de and the do that wo we will ill realize our profits in the years to come when he Is and la Is chipping his crops to market some of the tha greatest irrigation projects of modern t rabi are being hullt built right here in utah the strawberry valley project on which the government Is spending millions of dollars ollars il will make fertile one ot of the better crops grown and as aa the eclen methods come mote moio and more into use the railroads resources will be taxed even to a greater extent than they now are to handle the crops which must be marketed dut but it la Is in raising fruits that utah excels I 1 believe said mr fort A trip through the horticultural regions 0 of the state will convince the most skeptical the men who came here years ago knew their land and their knowledge Is seen in the broad expanse ot of acres of 0 apple peach pear plum and nectarine orchards in recent years utah has captured more than worth of valuable trophies in exhibitions of fruit products and as the years pass she will take even more laws which make spraying and careful care of trees compulsory have been passed and with the insect pests thus kept under control only the best fruits fruita are brought to maturity in addition to the tree fruits the berries also grow graw to perfection and tho the highest market prices are obtained for the fruit cooperation co operation brings prosperity the people of utah have so long co operated cooperated to secure the best results for themselves that they know without explanation the groat cat advantages to be derived from it it is uio the intention ot of the union pacific to tell the world the real truth about utah and her resources and to do this intelligently we must havethe have i the operation cooperation co of the people of the state we must all get together and talk over tho the plans for advising the world and particularly that part of it which lies in chicago ago territory of the wealth that waits here for the man who really wants to succeed the east does not know that in 1910 utah raised crops to the following values sugar beet crop oats barley corn potatoes dairy loot 1909 1910 not completed and the total wheat oats corn ba barley aley rye potatoes hay sugar beets and alfalfa seed raised was waa A little cooperation and these figures cannot help but bring to utah thousands of industrious men and women who will settle the farms and bo be a new source of 0 profit to every one in the state we must cot together tor for results |
