Show CACHE FOR CROPS.' The Kentucklans are fond of calling their state the garden of the United States and the people of Lexington say that their county Is the asparagus bed of the garden. Utah is producing such crops this year that she might well call herself the garden of the Inter-mountain Inter-mountain region and the crops In Cache are of such proportions that our county ml(ht well lay claim to being the asparagus bed. Everywhere the wheat is running at least ten bushels an acre higher than was expected. And It will bring a good price, for the wheat crop in the Dakotas Is a failure and In southern Illinois they are harvesting har-vesting only from five to ten bushels an acre. As compared with that our average of fifty bushels per an i enormous. A Swede who came into tho valley thirteen years ago wlthoqt a dollar Is this year harvesting 13,000 bushels of wheat over on the west side of the valley. One Hyde Park man boasts of selling 1110 worth of potatoes pota-toes from an acre. Another from the same place has made eight acres produce pro-duce him 830 bushels of oats, and already al-ready from Smlthfield havo been sent out twenty-eight carloads of potatoes which have brought eighty cents per hundred. People have always thought that Cache county was too cold to grow peaches, but this week some of the best In the market have come from Providence and tho little orchard at the Agricultural college Is a model of healthy, well cared for trees and finely fine-ly set fruit. Utah Is certainly a good placo to live In and Cache Is one of Its most fruitful corners, If not the most fruitful. |
