With the low prices realized In sorne lines of o-charding in the last few year; students have turned away from horticulture to such an extent that even now the supply of thoroughly thorough-ly trained, capable fruit and vegetable vege-table specialists, fails to equal the demand. When readjustments in the fruit inc'ustry are followed by the upward swing of the price cycle, the man who is prepared to skillfully combine Utah soil and climate in producing pro-ducing beautiful and delicious mountain moun-tain fruit will reap a rich reward for his foresight," says Professor Coe.

"Practical laboratory work in orchards, greenhouses and gardens will be the outstanding feature fea-ture of the horticultural course. Field trips to fruit sections of the state will be made as often as practicable. prac-ticable. "No state in the Union can grow finer .fruit than Utah," says Professor Profes-sor Coe. "However, we have problems prob-lems here of production and market- i ing that require for their solution tiained minds and skilled hands. To ' the man who brings to the planting and management of an orchard or truck farm the modern weapons or horticultural science and art, fruit and vegetable growing brings highly satisfactory returns. "While some orchards have been unprofitable during the last five yca-s, many growers declare that the ir fruit has made them more money mon-ey than any other crop they could have grown. To be successful, or-chardists or-chardists should not only know how-to how-to grow fruit, but understand the factors determining future supply und demand for their crops. |
