Show n ", V, NUMBER 7 K'V- ? of Iron Endowed The possibility of offering the proper inducement for the $25,000,000 merger to locate its iron furnace and subsiciary plants near Payson was the chief topic of discussion at a dinner by the Payson Commercial club at the Strawberry hotel last night. The advantage to the enterprise, to be derived from locating on the south shores of Utah Lake, immediately west of Payson were discussed, and in view of the fact that lime quarries are in the immediate vicinity, as well as the finest sand in the world, and the location intermediate between the iron fields and the coal fields, there appears to be every reason why the promotors of the gigantic enterprise should give the Payson location great consideration. To bring this about, a committee consisting of John T. Lee R. Taylor and Dr. L. N. Ellsworth was appointed to Lant, interview officials of the new organization with a view to bringing them to Payson to look over the proposed site for the industrial enterprise. Another important matter considered by the club was that of the building of the proposed highway through Payson canyon giving an ideal route to Mt. Nebo. It is understood that the forestry service is favorably inclined to construction of such a road, and in view of the fact that other scenic portions of the state are deriving benefit from the building of roads, the opinion prevailed that Payson should have its share of such expenditures of forestry money. Dr. L. D. Pfouts was appoint-gchairman of a committee to investigate the matter. d GET LICENSES EARLY SAYS MR.

Bee-Hiv- If automobile owners make ap plication for licenses for 1922 without waiting until the very last minute they will save themselves much vexation ami annoyance, is the advise gien by H. K. Crockett, secretary of state. Mr. Crockett calls attention to the fact that the present law requires that, whenever a car was purchased since April 1, 1920, the application joust bo accompanied by a bill of sale and also an affidavit of ownership, declaring, respectively, proving aud that tho car belongs to the applicant. This applies in every case except where tho car was registered in the name of tho present owner prior to April 1 of this year. The fee for statements is $1, ' and filing these there is an additional 50 cents inspection fee, neither of which is included in tho regular license fee. I wish also to call the attention of tho puUUtvC'iLrd Air. Crockett, that there will be no more transfers of licenses after January 1. This is a provision in tho law- which I feel a somewhat of works hardship, in cases where a car changes hands dur- p: e fbein do, sevyar ns s!,mG ing eral 'times. Yet it is the law, as I read it, and will have to be inforced. I am under bond, and have no alternative.

Not only are natural conditions favorable to dairying but the economic situation in Utah demands the advancement of industries whose pro duct aie marketable at home or in onc&itrated form. highly In the transition from war to peace the fullest recognition of all economic conditions is of supremo importance. Each community and each region must consider carefully the fundamental soundness of its industries and stimulate the development of those of .firm foundation. Pursuit of such a policy in tho respective communities and regions must bring prosperity ana automatically restore normal conditions throughout the country in the shortest time. Although any industry may display weakness at times there are few maj or industries, taking the country as a whole, that can be classed as unsound fundamentally. But this condition does not apply in the same degree in the cases of communities and condinatural regions. Gflhierally, tions, distance from market and will indicate , available transportation the possibilities for development of industries of stable character. Read justment operations also have been highly effective in pointing out the which industries unsoundness of formerly were considered stable and prosperous, Agriculture, as a whole, is the backbone of our national existence. But it does not follow that agriculture is fundameutally sound in rvery community and region. In some, adverse natural conditions make agriculture an impossibility. In others conditions , transportation market facilities and costs, and land values make certain branches of agriculture unprofitable and, therefore, fundamentally unsound. Taking into consideration all elements, dairying has demonstrated its fundamental stability and merit to further development in Utah. The dairying communities are in the best f any communifinancial condition ties in the state today because of the steady income aud the fact that dairy foods are among the few products of the farm that have not rer ceded to price levels. As further encouragement to development wc have tho advantage of unexcelled natural conditions favorable t0 dairying in our mountain valleys; we have local markets fat in excess of our production and the count ry ns a whole is an importer of dairy prodairying ducts. Through feeding, turned and now w are heavy import-erof butter and cheese, millions of pounds of which are received annually from Canada, Denmark, Argentine, New Zeland and Australia. this situation, dairying has not decreased in tho country as a whole, but statistics indicate that not only is tho production failing to keep pace with the growth in population but that the consumption of dairy foods per capita is steadily advancing. I Under conditions existing today it is estimated that Utah consumes anabout 10,000,000 pounds of nually butter and 2,500,000 pounds of cheese besides largo quantities of cream and whole niilk, ice cream and condensed milk. For the most part Utah dairymen. are supplying milk and cream for domestic use, ico cream and condensed milk manufacture, but they are furnishing only about 70 per cent of tho butter and 50 per cent of the cheese consumed locally. Unlike tho market for most other farm products the market for milk and cream is constant instead of seasonal and the demand always is in excess of the supply. It is interesting to observe also that under present strained conditions tne market price of milk and cream is relatively 30 to 40 per cent higher than tho market price of other farm products, In fact, they are about the only products of the farm which have not r declined to price figures. Milk and cream are in firm demand in practically every city and town in the state throughout the year and the 40 plants for the manufacturer of butter, cheese and condensed niilk arc constantly in search of now source s of supply. Their market is not alone local, although the output of ti e butter and cheese plants does not approach the consumption in the state. The eondensories in Utah supply a Large proportion of the con-- d nsed milk URed locally, but because of the heavy importations from other stiteg they are compelled to seek, and do s0 successfully, outside markets for a considerable portion of their production. But should the time arrive when production of dairy products exceed tho local demand thcro are constantly growing outside markets in the west in which Utah manufacturers can especially Utah, compote. readily Salt Lake City, is the distributing for the whole intermountin C( nter country which i growing steadily in population.

Applications for loans from the federal land bank, aggregating more than $200,000, were signed at a meeting'of Payson Farm Bureau members at a meeting in the First Ward Church last Wednesday night, and as soon as all conditions can be complied with the applications will be filed with the federal land bank at Beikeley, Cal. While applications from all portions of the country have been made in such volume that it is possible that more money than is available may have been asked for, there is not much question that the needs of this section of the country will be taken care of early m the new year at least. ' It is estimated that applications will be made by the farmers ot the Payson valley along in a sum exceeding half a million dollars. . . Federal land bank officials are watching the character of applications closely aud every precaution will be exerted to prevent government loans being made for epeculative purposes. It is one of the stipulations that the money borrowed must be loaned to actual farmers only, and for the purpose of extending farm operations. Applicatiods, where there may be any doubt as to the channels into which the money may go, will be - denied. STRAWBERRY WATER USERS ON UHAIOUS Contract Over Project W1U fox The growing of potatoes on a large rotating with beets, was discussed at the meeting. How potatoes may be grown and skipped to good profit was shown by B. D. Sawyer, representing The James Turnbull . company of Texas. There is nothing superior to potatoes, gaid Mr. Sawyer, as a median of crop rotation, to maintain the fer' tility of soil. Mr. Sawyer assured the farmers of a minimum of fifjp cents per hundred for all the potatoes they grow, suggesting, however, that the first year not more than 800 ears be produced in this immediate vicinity. He also said there was .A good market for onions, probably 100 cars a season. i Under the plan proposed by Mr. Sawyer an inspector will be placed s in the field, provided sufficient are made, at a cost to the producer of five cents per sack. He said that seed would be furnished by his firm at $2.50 per hundred, 50 cents to be paid on making the contract ' t and tho balance on delivery. A committee consisting of John H. Franeom, William T. Amos and W, Fred Tanner was appointed to taka the matter up with Mr. Sawyer and to devise ways and means of financt ing under the farm bureau. scale, ORGANIZATION Expected that " " pre-wa- Grandmother f ' - -, Growing of Potatoes as Rotation Crop With Beets Urged by Texas Buyer Who Offers Mar-- i ket for 300 Carloads That May De-pit- o in Tho social Thursday evening amusement hall the Second ward s whicli was arranged by the organization of Payson was in every way.
