Show H Central Experiment H Station. H The location of llie Central H Agricultural Experiment Station H , should be deeded within a few H days. It is reported that the com- H mittee on location will visit the H sites offered by Lehi, I'rovo, H Spanish Fork, and Hounliful this H week and that immediately there- H sifterjlie final vote will be taken. H' No doubt nil the sites offered B possess niOrit and have been B proffered on account of their es- B pecial fitness for such a station as B the law contemplates. Yet they B cannot all be equal. The one B most nearly icpresenling the qua!- BBg ities necessary for insuring suc- H cess should be selected. The foil B and water must, of course, be B thoroughly considered, not that B the most fertile soil should be B chosen but soil which can be made B to produce a variety of fruits B grains and vegetables and furnish B the best educational condition to H the State of Utah. m The farm should be central. B The law in order that it should B occupy a position near the centre H of the state designated four cen- H tral counties within which the lo- B cation must be made. No just B decision can be reached without a H careful consideration of this phase H of the question. B , If the letter and spirit of the H law shall be realized the station H will be located for the convenience BV of a traveling public. Nearness H I to railroads (and public highways H will determine to a large extent BB its educational value. BS Lehi and American Fork are H offering a site. 1 hey have noth- H ing to say against other locations H being offered to the state for e.- E periment farm purposes except as B they do not meet the condition BBV necessary for success. We rest B our claim with confidence in the B wisdom and honesty of the men B whose duty' it is to make thi" B location on the merits of the site B With suitable climate and soil, B an abundance of water assured, B and the advantage of being located B on railroads in close proximity to B the educational center of the B state, our people feel safe in H "claiming the station. |
