MYTON. Consolidated Next Issue Five years ago on the eleventh day of January, 1924, the first issue uf the Uintah Basin- Farmer was published and circulated to the small number of 150 farm families and 25 business men in the Uintah Basin. The editor had in mind when he ventured forth with an exclusive farm paper, to give to the agricultural business of the Basin something which had been sadly neglected, and this paper was destined to help the onward movement of our great inland empire. It was a hard battle at first with only 175 subscribers. but it has continually gained ground until today it circulates over two thousand papers. The consolidation will give the subscribers all the local farm news each and every week and will only cost the subscriber 31.50 per year, and will give the advertisers better value for his money. All subscribers to the Uintah Basin Farmer, whose subscription has been paid in advance will be taken care of and will receive the consolidated paper. The great Uintah Basin Is our held, with our intention to cover every line of endeavor and the problems confronting the basin farmer. YES ing; Ivadell Anderson, sewing; Oral C.

Uintah Forest Gets 2400 New Trees During the past ten days 2489 western yellow pine seedlings have been planted on the Uintah national forest in five widely separated glae es, according to George C. assistant forest supervisor who has just returned from Heber, where tliO last of the trees were planted la Daniels canyon. The nmnij fcfees are three years old and have a very ' splendidly developed root system. They were grown in the forest service in the Monument nursery, Oo& rado. Yellow pine is very scarce fb this vicinity, but the few scattered trees found indicate that this species has been more abundant, tb main reason for its scarcity being that it was hunted and cut out as it makes excellent lumber and building material. In 1928, 1000 trees of the same kind were planted on the forest reserve, and, in Bpite of last years drought, a survival of 50 to 67 per cent is reported. The planting is in the nature o an experiment and it is hoped it will form the nucleus for a fu- t ture stand of yellow pine.
