Show X MOVE OUT ON THE FARM MM "Got Back to tho Right Kind B of Nature, in Utah," is tho slo- H . gan printed in red ink on tho H stationery of the Utah Develop- H ment League, and it preaches a H whole sermon to the people of B tho state, and particularly to H the farmers. There is no oc- H cupation so stable and secure as B that of farming. There is no ft profession more lucrative if good H sense and management is em- H, ployed. The practice of farmers L living in town, and hauling their B hay, straw and other products to H town, there feeding it to ani- - mals. and then hauling the man- B ure back, would bankrupt a BW Rothschild if practiced on a O large enough scale. B The prosperous and well-to-do B farmer of today resides on his B farm. He raises sheep, hogs, B ' cattle, poultry, etc., and instead B of selling his hay, straw, corn B ana" practically everything B raisod to others, he feeds it tc B J nis own animals, and then mar- B.' kets the live stock, etc. B Alfalfa will raise and prnc- B tically fatten cattle,sheep, hogs, H turkeys, and almost all the H ' livestock on a well appointed B I farm. With a little corn and B rye to feed in the fall, either in K ) the form of pasturage or in the pens, all kinds of domestic ani- fc mals can be put in good condi- B' l -tion'forf niarkqt. Jn an agrjcul- B tural locality, such as this there B should be no scarcity of butter, B cheese, cream, eggs, chickens, H etc. And instead of shipping B n these and other commodities, B 9ucn as bacon, flour, grain, etc., H wo should be sniping out endless H loads, But in order to accom- H plish this revolution, it is neces- H sary that wo move out onto our H farms and make a study of the H, best methods to pursue the best B products to raise. That ir what B' we expect Southern Utah's Ari- B' cultural College is going to do B; for us, and if it docs, it will be H' the greatest thing that ever B came to Southern Utah. B- Speaking of the conditions B that prevail over a portion of B southern Utah, in a circular let- fl ter to the newspapers and other B Interested persons, L, A. Mer- B; ril, agricultural expert for the B Salt Lake Route, comments as B follows: Bt "It seems strange that in an B ' Agricultural community there v should be any difficulty insecur- B ing farm products for local con- ML.. sumption. It is a fact, however, Bi" -that the Commissary depart-H depart-H menTcrnVSsIt kake Route arG encountering diJncOmcWH t, way of securing supplies for' their dining car service. Mr. 0. P. Hesser.Commissary .- agent for the Salt Lake Route is ajhffl looking for Bome place where he fflajK? can secure a consistent supply glStf- of potatoes, spring chickens and WW( , fresh eggs. lilBb "The Railroad company, are fy coursc anxious to secure the $Matl verir '3es; Prducts that, can be 1lL obtained since the patrons along "sjgfil!!: the line are able and willing to $51' 8$ pay a gooc pr'ce or S fi$j , : materials. f$$$W ." "It would seem to us that P there is an opportunity for some flpfii our armcrs t et in touch JKHifjjli with the Commissary agent and lpfj-li make arrangements for certain sMMI and continuous market for these jaffljt products. In this connection B our attention was recently called jB to the fact that most of the Bl meat Prducts nhipped to the B. a Angeles market arc being B '') Hi BB ?' shipped over this Ijne from Idaho, and large quantities are coming fro'm as far east as Kansas Kan-sas and Oklahoma. Certainly Utah farmers cannot claim to be making the best of their oppor tunities as long as this condition lasts." |
