This year the pro-duction is estimated at about the same figure. Lakeview and SpringH ville are the two places in the councarty where the production is beingWad-leried on, according to Manager to ay appreciable extent. Utah celery is the best in the world, said Mr. Wadley, with the greatest crispness and tenderness that has been found. The difficulty that has retarded the growing of celery has been the trouble in placing it on the market in good condition. It has been found that the tenderness of the Utah celery is such that careless handling or packing causes This naturally has it to blacken. made it difficult to dispose of in many cases. The celery growers of the state are now experimenting with pasteboard cartons, as retainers that will, it is thought, prove to be better containers In which to ship it. Most of the celery is shipped by express, and if a circular pasteboard carton will suffice to prevent the blacking of the celery, the production will no doubt increase. Utah, according to Mr. Wadley, is producing the finest celery, and has developed one variety that is not grown anywhere else. Some of the finest celery land in the world Is in the immediate vicinity of Provo. An exceptionally1 fine quality is agrown by Mike Pietrafesa, small truck garden near who has Ml4.

Those of us who found them are the ones who rar back comfortably in the sparkling, old limousine, or get alphabets after their names or large banks of flowers and telegrams when they die. And speaking of farms, I want to call attention to a lot of farms in Utah as a whole, Utah county in particular and Provo Bench with emphasis. If ever farms were being neglected of their full possibilities, they are right in this state and right in this locality. In the first place, after seventy years of farming by the old methods and with the od meriting hallowed crops, we still stick to wheat, alfalfa and potatoes with a blind faithfulness Year after year uselessness. limbo of greatness in the archives of Old Man Stagnation and his same unprofitable crop as though we our fair acres are subjected to the same strain for the our as do must fathers did or be eternally were true disciples of the great Confucius and damned.

TRAFFIC IN ADVANTAGE CREDITS UTAH LARGE ACT SHOWS INCREASE Wheat Growers Form Cooperative Organizations at Payson and Spanish Fork. Reports Indicate That Visitors in State Remain for Longer Period Than Formerly. Two cooperative associations of farmers of Utah county have been formed during the past two weeks for the purpose of deriving the benefit of the Intermediate Credit Act, and a third association is contemplated. At Payson the latter part of last week wheat farmers signed an agree- ment toincorporate, and a commit- tee was appointed to secure the sup- in port and sanction of the growers that district. As soon as 6 0 Per of the signatures have been at- tached to the agreement the articles incorporation will be prepared by Attorney Frank Evans. Some time prior to the meeting held at Payson the wheat growers of Spanish Fork held a meeting at which it was voted that the growers incorporate for the purpose of deriv- the full benefit of the act, and since that time the necessary sig- natures have been secured, accord- ing. to R. D. Wadley and the articles A third of incorporation prepared. meeting will be held at Lehi, and it1 is not improbable that an organiza-tion similar to the other two will be perfected. The intention of the farmers in or- ganizing is to finance themselves and arrange for storage of the wheat After doing this they will grown. be enabled to operate under the Ifl- termediate credit act. Wheat re- ceipts will be issued, upon which funds can be secured from banks. They will be able to release their wheat monthly instead of dumping it all on the market at one time. By doing so, they feel, that a material reduction will be made on freight charges, as they have frequently been forced to rebuy wheat, after selling their entire production. The market will respond in an orderly manner,1 and will eliminate the mills reduc- cessity of elevators and as has been of wheat ing the price the case, according to Mr. Wadley, has been when a large amount reason dumped on the markets. The ' for the reduction has been the dan- -be ger of the commodity droppingmills low accustomed levels, and the have found it necessary to take precautions in order to safeguard their investments.
