FALL BUSINESS A. Steel. and Stating Capacity; Choate Construction; Ample All Athletic ppvision for Lents in the Future IS FAVORABLE rcl-feren- ce Development of Milling in Utah The march of civilization from the stone age to the age of electricity furnishes the theme for thousands of interesting volumes. The crude stone implements of the neolithic period were succeeded by the more effective ones of bronze. Centuries rolled by and man learned the use of iron and steel which enable'd him to advance to that wonderful age in which we now live. But this took thousands of . years.' How fascinating it is to find in the milling industry of Utah during the past hundred years such a true picture of that age-loperiod of progress from stone to steel. If you had wandered in the foot hills of Utah during April, 1830, you might have stumbled On to a few straggling tepees of the Pi Utes, Utes or Washakie Indians. After the formalities of presenting the chief with a handful of beads, a hatchet or a peck of grain, you probably would be invited to rest an hour or two among these first inhabitants of Utah. You would find them engaged in a primitive form of industry the Indian shaping his bow or chipping his and some of the squaws grinding grain on a slab of stone with something that looked like a granite rolling pin. Here then you would see nucleus of Utahs milling industry. Infancy of Industry For thousands of years the process of milling grain consisted in crushing the healthful kernel between stones, end these stones are now frequently found by civilized men in the alluvial deposits of the Nile, among the lake dwelling of Switzerland, in the caves of southern France, along the shores of the lakes of the Gobi, and in fact most anywhere where primeval man has eveir been able to successfully battle for an existence-Noonly do these crude stones show us the infancy fo a great industry, but they bear mute yet forceful evidence of the great importance of the milling industry as a necessary factor in the progress of civilization. Bread, that finished product of grain, has in one form or another been the "Staff of Life" through all the ages, and the history of baking as well as milling is shrouded by tho mist of millenniums. When, after an absence of some seventeen or eighteen years, you returned to the foot hills of Utah, you would have seen groups of white men in its valleys busy with plows and harrows turning over the virgin soiL Under the guidance of the energetic Brigham Young, these men with their families had braved the dangers of the deserts. Endured in hardship they developed an iron mill, confident in Divine Providence, they rendered absolute obedience to their leaders, and history began to record the marvel of a humble group of men living under adverse conditions in a dreary desert subduing all obstacles that nature had placed in their way, and in turn making nature the ally of man and the deliverer of his sufferings. Barely had the first pioneers landed in Salt Lake valley when Brigham Young directed the first operations of tilling the soiL With care, seed was brought in ox and handcarts over a thousand miles to he planted in our valleys. No wonder that our hardy pioneer would kneel in prayer on his plat of land before entrusting the ng anti-diluvi- al t grain to the soil. No wonder that he supplemented his prayer with good Hard work to insure success to his To him that grain meant harvest. Truly the founders of everything. Utah had to ba industrious if they were to succeed, and it seems quite natural that they selected the Boa Rehive as their states emblem. have world the of what may gardless thought about that early pioneer, it must acknowledge his industry s well as his success. Waterpower Flour Mills Developed Within a few years you could find s number of flour mills driven by waterpower along tha banka of some of the numerous- mountain streams. The flour wsa for home consumption, or became a medium of exchange in trading with the emigrants who were rushing to the goldfields of - Prosperity followed the will to work of the Utah pioneer. His cities grew, his cultivated fields increased in number as well as in size, and with his saving he purchased more modern im plements so that he could the better till the soiL The milling industry kept pace with this progress. More efficient machinery was yearly installed in one place or another an some flour was sent out of the state to the mining towns of Nevada or by way of Corinne to the building settlements of Montana. Then came a time that Utah pro- duced far more grain than it coul consume within its borders. Grain hat been a medium of exchange for number of years. The farmer would take a load of wheat to the store and trade it out in groceries and drygoods. Thousands of bushels of wheat have been traded for calico dresses and bonnets, overalls, boots and shoes. The merchant would store his grain until he could sell a carload. Prices were naturally low and uncertain, and it became more and more apparent that there was room for an extensive flour home industry, not only sufficient for ' consumption, but extensive enough to form one of the greatest sources of supply for out of the state business. Acreage Increased by Dry Farming One of the factors which promoted a great increase in the acreage of our wheat fields was the adoption of so-call- ed "Dry Farming." By tilling the soil and planting in grain during the fall, it was found that such field retained the moisture better and sufficed with the scant precipitation to insure splendid crops. These experi ments at first attempted by the wheat growers of Juab county, among whom J. W. Paxman deserves special mention, proved soon feasible and profitable in a number of districts of the state, and during the years 2907 and 1908 a number of elevators were built to store the greatly increased harvest of grain. However, by this time our wheat production far exceeded our milling capacity, and while Utahs grain was in demand at all the leading milling centers of the nations, very little flour crossed our boundaries. This disadvantage was not overcome until after the lessons learned during the World war. With the whole nation determined to adopt the strictest laws of economics it became glaringly apparent that in a state where so much grain was grown and where railroad facilities offered sdvantage-- ( Continued on page 6.)
