Dear Sir: Inclosed please find write-up and cut of our booth at the State Fair, which contains a very select lot of agricultural products prod-ucts from Washington, Beaver and Iron counties.

The Salt Lake Route hits this year duplicated its successful exhibits of several years past in the horticultural horticul-tural building at the state fair grounds and, in many respects, the exhibit is more beautiful and impressive im-pressive than ever before. There are exhibits, in separate divisions di-visions of the big corner booth occupied occu-pied by the Salt Lake Route, from Washington, Millard, Beaver and Iron counties and from the Newcastle Newcas-tle project and the Malone Co-operative Experimental farm. In each is shown 'prize-winirttg specimens of grain, fruits, nuts and vegetables. Almonds a Feature. Separate showscases are devoted to exhibits of grains and other products, prod-ucts, notably from the Nenhi cxperi-mental cxperi-mental farm, which has produced a wide variety of fine grains and the farm of Thomas Judd & Sons at the La Verkin, Utah, from which are entered en-tered pomegranates, nuts and a selection se-lection of tropical and semi-tropical fruits and products of other sorts. In all, the "Dixie" section of Utah has contributed largely to the display, dis-play, a showing of paper-shell almonds al-monds being noteworthy. Other showcases are given to the displays of individual growers, one case containing con-taining an especially fine exhibit of apples from the orchards of V. II. Homer at Pleasant Grove.

The display contains many specimens speci-mens 'of grain and vegetables raised on the tract through irrigation of the surface acreage by underground water wa-ter which is found at from fifteen to sixty feet in depth of the wells so far sunk. The exact flow of water must be yet determined to a certainty, cer-tainty, though the experiments have proved the feasibility of their plan of irrigation, and have obtained a flow of 350 gallons a minute, sufficient suffic-ient to irrigate ninety-six acres. As the display in the booths of the Salt Lake Route comes from widely separated localities along the line of the road, it may be considered as a comprehensive exhibit of products and progress in the farming com-, munities in the western and southwestern south-western portions of the state.
