Utah's State flower ia the Sesro Lib'. Utah waft settled by Brigham Young and the Mormons in 1847; admitted to state. the Union, January 4, 1896, as the lorty-nu- n Utah is divided into 29 counties, containing 84,693.6 square miles, or 54,203,904 acres. Of the 29 counties, 18 are served by Union Pacific System lines. Utah's estimated population in 1927 was 522,000. Utah's health report shows the average death rate to be 10.1 one of the lowest in the country. Utah has 614 elementary and hiffh schools. Utah produced 875,000,000 worth of crops and live stock in 1927. Utah had, in 1925, 25,998 farms, with a total acreage of 5,118,000, including grazing land. Utah'- -, livestock on farms on January 1, 1928, were valued t over S6i.000.000. of which sheep were valued at 31.000.000. cattle at 23.000.000. horses and mules 6,000,0000, and swine $1,225,000. Utah nfoducti about 6.000.000 worth of dairy products annually. On January 1, 1928, there were 92,000 milk cows. valued at $7,400,000 in the state. Utah's poultry industry, it is estimatd, produces about 5.000.000 worth of noultrv and eggs annually. Utah's alfalfa seed crops are the largest of any stat-ein 1927. 245.000 bushels. All other statea togetner produced 598,000 bushels. Utah produces 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 bushels of wheat annually. Utah produces celery that i unexcelled for its quality and flavor. Utah produced more barley per acre in 1927 than any jpon the fish and game fund for some time. The stockmen maintain that the wild life of tho state does more damage than it do3s good. Some of the stockmen even declare that there is not enqugh money in the state fish and game fund to pay for the damage done. They maintain that, were it not for the deer and elk, a larger number of sheep and cattle could be grazed and that fees from this source would be greater than the fish and game fund. They argue that in the interests of economy wild life should be held to a minimum and the stockmen be given the right to have additional i animals on the range. Durina- the last session of the legislature the stockmen of the state decided to make the state fish and game fund, suable. The fish and game fund is a special fund, all of it comine from the license money or from fish and game sources. Alter & committee oattie wnicn i as tea ror more than thirty dtya the Killian compromise bill was brought forth. This gave the game refuge committee the right to regulate the deer and elk, sell and kill where necessary, and use the proceeds to take care of the damages sustained by individuals. The stockmen made a concerted drive upon this bill and endeavored to make it read that the fish and game forced to stand any damage expense. The fund should stockmen lost their fight in the house by two votes 19 to 21. Had it not been that several of the stockmen's friends were not in their places at the time of the vote on Die amendment the amendment to the Killian bill would have carried and the fish and game fund would have been out of luck. Just two votes saved Ue day. Now the question comes up, What will the sportsmen do about it? If they rest on their two point victory and think the battle is won they will be foolish. The sportsmen must unite upon a common front and get ready for the next battle with the stockmen. They must study the stockmen's side of the question and see wherein the stockmen are right. The sportsmen must at all times keep a greater Utah in mind and must remember that hon est efforts will end in the long run, but that dissension and bickering within their own ranks will lead to defeat. - Read Your Utah Mining News in the WEStMM- - HiNERAL: SURVEY Published every Friday In Salt Lake City $1.00 . gran FOR WALKER 1 tOE Company Makes Notable Strides Toward Divi-dea- d Paying Stage.
