Show oti coin ii oi I TRIP THROUGH IRTIRI 111 Two hundred and twenty-five members mem-bers of the Utah County Farm Bureau, according to a ribbon on their hats, "out to be educated." left Ogden this morning for Cache Valley in 44 automobiles. They passed tho night and part of two days here and their unanjrnous opinion was that it was time' well spent. The party is made up entirely of farmers, as one or its leaders, James M. Kirkham of "The Utah Farmer," wanted it understood, "though in their spare moments several of them are bankers, mayors, city and county commissioners com-missioners and business men. They reached the city at 5 o'clock yesterday yester-day afternoon, escorted by James P. Casey, secretary of the Ogden Publicity Pub-licity Bureau, and F. W. Carroll, manager man-ager of the, Mountain States Telephone Tele-phone and Telegraph companj', who met the automobile train at Kaysville and extended Ogden's welcome to its leaders, Clyde W. Lindsay, James M. Kirkham, Rodger. W. Creer and W. J. Charwick. Mr. Carroll also extended the complimentary use of his company's com-pany's long-distance lines while in the city. The farmers had made the trip from Lehi. visiting the Winchester farm, Smith Brothers dairy, Winder's farm, tho State Prison farm, Salt Lake City and Bountiful. A dinner at the Salt Lake Commercial club, tendered by the Consolidated Wagon and Machine company, was the feature of the stop in that city, and at Bountiful they were given fruit and lemonade by a commfttee of the 'charming . young ladles of that community. These courtesies, together with stops of unexpected lengths at the different points scheduled and tire trouble, caused the delay In reaching Ogden, Mr. Kirkham explained to the Ogden committee, and it was then deemed avisabro to go directly to tho planl of the Ogden Packing and Provision Pro-vision company. Tho leading cars were stopped south of the RIverdalo bridge over tho Weber river, to await the coming of Che stragglers and, when all were accounted for. the solid line moved over the tarvla road and into Ogden by way of Washington Washing-ton avenuo. Each automobile was well supplied with banners, bearing the words "Utah County Farm Bureau," and each man in tho party wore a ribbon on his hat, on which were the words, "Utah County Farm Bureau; Lehi to Cache Valley, Aug. 22 and 23; We Are Out to be Educated." Tooting their horns and sirens, the dusty but happy automobilists passed through the business busi-ness district of the city, watched with Interest by large crowds of local people, peo-ple, many of whom waved a greeting. Passing down Twenty-fourth street and across the viaduct, they reached tho homo of Utah's biggest packing industry, about 5:30 o'clock, and were welcomed there by Lars Hanson, president, presi-dent, and other officers and employes of the Ogden Packing and Provision company. John T. Calne III of tho Utah Agricultural college, who had acted as scout on the trip, also met the party at tho packing plant. After the exchange of greetings, the Utah county people were ushered into the big establishment and for a half hour or more wound In and out through tho different departments and witnessed the operations performed on hogs in preparing them, for market. From the point ijvhero the porkers' last squeals wore heard to the point where it, or parts of it, hung with the government inspectors stamp upon it, ready for market; through the brine cellars, curing and fresh meat departments, de-partments, to the sample room and offices, the trip through the plant was of continuous interest to the visitors "Just as good an idea of the packing pack-ing industry as you qould get in Kansas Kan-sas city," was the opinion of several of broader experience in travel and the general opinion was that the inspection in-spection had been a big "eye-opener." When the inspection was completed, complet-ed, the hosts led the way to the.ro.om on the third floor, which, through the packing company's habit of holding "open-house," has become a pleasant memory to hundreds of people from all parts of the state, and there three long tables heavily laden with platters plat-ters of sandwiches, dishes of pickles, with plenty of butter, mustard, coffee cof-fee and "Becker's Best," with a bevy of young lady employes of the firm ready to serve the good things, proved a welcome sight. For a half hour or more, the southern guests enjoyed this feast, the supplies for which seemed unending in quantity and were of unexcelled excellence in quality. They frequently gave three cheers for their hosts and Ogden. Short speeches were made by the leaders of the party in appreciation of the hospitality of the Ogden Packing Pack-ing and Provision company. The caravan car-avan was again formed and about 6:3(J o'clock wended its way to the Utan State Industrial school. Here dessert, in the form of luscious watermelons, and music by the school's noted juvenile juve-nile band, awaited them. Enthusiastic Enthusi-astic applause followed each musical selection. Superintendent E. S. Hinckley Hinck-ley explained to his "old homo folks," the manner in which the state was caring for its young people, who through the harshness of society am the misfortune of, in some instances, being badly born and worse environed had been of necessity sent to the school for correction. In conclusion, he made a plea for the'boys and girls who may sometime be paroled that tbey might be encouraged and given a chance to make good. An inspection of the buildings, farm and dairy, in which the purpose of their trip was fulfilled to an appreciable appre-ciable extent, concluded the visit of tho excursionists to the state institution institu-tion and, with words of praise for the juvenile musicians, Superintendent Hinckley and his corps of instructors, they returned to the city.
