FARMINGTON, OCT, 3, 1904 STAY ON TI1E FA15M. We litre been requested by t prom, inent citizen of Bountiful to take up the auliject of (migration of young men. It la considered by thoae who atudy the aituatiou that it la to for so tuany of our ideal an feel it necessary to leave auch place aa bavla county to go Into the uiicrrtaintica of new localitlea. It aecina to tie that tliera lant a better place iu the world than right here, to expend the energy required In a new country. The young uian that bare left bavla county to help fettle new towna have Increased to a number that ia positively appalling I Recently In eonrcraatlon' with a prominent merchant of Kayaville, we read a Hat of young men who had left Kayaville for varioue points In the weatern country. Thia gentle man ataled that the aame condition obtaina in every town In the county, Every peraon included on the Hat waa a uative of our county, mauy of them our brightest sons and daughters. Why Is it that we are railed upon to sacrifice our farm and industrial work to build up other localities not half so replete with natural resources aa bavla county? There must be ome reason for it. Is It because our oldtiuio aetllcra refuse to give (heir We hope not. boys a chance? Wo have many indications in our towns of being property poor, a eon dliiou that exists In all parts of the United States to a greater or less ex. tent and one that is to be doplored. Tbla term f property poor may bo new to eonio reader ; In that event, we will briefly dellne the term aa be ing a condition where the owner of a piece of laud has more ground than he can niako profitable, ao weeds are permitted to thrive ; or even if crops are planted, the owners are unable to attend to them because they are too Urge for the facilities at hand. There la not an acre of this couaty in cultivation but what, under intelligent farming, is rapable of a much increased profit, in foreign countries, aa much produce, fruit, or oilier farm profits, la made on one acre aa we do on ten acres ! Bight in Salt Lake City this can bo demonstrated at the Chlncae gardens. We might well take a lesson from the despised chinamen who ao industriously plant and replant their crop. They teach ua methods of intensive farmihg, to sey nothing of other habile of Industry, frugality and abstemiousness. We urge our young men to look more to home for a living, and do not be led off by alluring promises of big incomes. Put the aame energy required in the new localities into any part of Davis county and wo venture the prediction that your profiU will exceed any realized by those who promise so much. We need every able bodied man, young or old, to be had. We hare farms, canneries, nurseries, mines, and mauy other industries that are capable of fructification under intelligent manipulation and a limited expenditure of capital. Spend the of would money you necessity take with you and get the help that your parents will afford you, aud we are ure you will in the long run make more money right here than in any place to bo had ; besides you will help your parents; help your town; help your county ; and help the church not to mention the adrautages to yourself for the school, social, religious, and business facilities already right at your door. We need you as citizens; we need you in the church ; we need you in the home. Do jou know your leaving the old home cripples it; vitiates our commonwealth ; depletes our church and ed y j' t auzllisry organizations ! You know bur towus art not up to the times in some respects ; stay here and encour. age our old timer to Improved methods. Borne of them came here before we bad railroads and might have antiquated ways, but by careful handling and kindly Intesest lu their wave, the farms, gardens, homes, towns, end entire county will put on new airs of life. Moreover, you will pave the way to your own happiness and profit The future of all Industries whether it shall be farming or what not is dependent on our young men. If the enterprising men leave, Is it not natural that the county will go down? bo wo want our fathers excellent tins and homes to fall into other hands? Do wo waut to sea our towns degenerate into a graveyard condition? I to we want to seethe farms go to strangers? If you go off some of these conditions aro bouud to result. We make this appeal toyou Dont leave the farm ; dont leave the town ; dont leave the county! Help l out the varioue Industries, that are atrug gliug to obtain a hold in the eornmer clal world, and by personal Influence and energy help piece new business in motion, revivifying stagnant enterprises; Introduce life into our various arteries of the farm and town. 1 OUK VACANT LOTS. Iu the couree of hi remarks last Monday, Apostle Penrose gave eome advice that ! in line with our 00m menta of last week, lie spoko regarding the appearanco of eome of our afreets, referring specifically to a number of the vacant Iota that are enclosed with dangerous barbed wire fences, and. in some cases, bearing nothing but weeds. We hope onr friends who come under this criticism will try to remedy the evil before another year rolls by. We believe if there are any here who have moYe land than can be cultivated, that they could easily find a man or even families who would be delighted with the opportunity of taking up and cultivating one or more vacant lots. Tua Aug i s will be glad at any time give pnbllcity to philanthropic-allinclined individuals who would permit some poor family to live on a portion of the vacant lands, aa there seerna to be ample water for our farm-lu- g and garden lands. Let us all Join in building up and beautifying our streets, gardens and homes, Wa have nothing but compliments for our firms. They are the object of commendation by nearly all who pass through the county. Now if we can only wake tip to the great possibilities, we shall soon be the ideal county in Utah our streets, homes and all that go to make up a commonwealth are lorated In tho best part of the state. Perchance this very fact may be the reason for the carelessness that seem to prevail. We get a living too easily, and like the darkey whose' houso leaks ; when it is storming, he is unable to repair it, and when the weather is fine, there is no necessity. . y ALEXANDER McM ASTER, and dispose ol their products, and to supervise the preparation of fruit for the tnOMEr-AT-LJImarket, so that it ahall make a good rafcasaa I Hr. appearance and be in fit condition.
