Show Our Opportunities can raise at a profit providing we raise it In sufficient qualities to insure in-sure car lots. Why not more cherries? cher-ries? And what, about apricots? Our cannery has not had too many for a long time and they pay a. fairly good price. Now leaving our horticulture, why don't wo raise more chickens and Bhip more eggs? Our neighboring cities are surpassing us considerably In (this line. We find a lot of empty cooqis in our community. Why not fill them up and build more? Figures Just released shows that there lias been a 40 per cent increase in population popula-tion in chickens and an increase of 25 per cent in the price of eggs in Utah the last year. Are we getting our share of this; If not let's get busy. AVhy not get a little better understanding under-standing of our opportunities and take advantage of them? Why not create a little enthusiasm for the (lu0 more year Una rolled around, 1 .iiunit (his tlmo of your wo luivo ,,rll ohli.!"llourt to meet in tho way j't'ixcs Christinas expenses and !invli expenses, etc. And oCt.imes It tos ua wonder how wo nro going ' i0 it all.

It appears to the writer that -our rIieiltm-o has been sadly neglected die past lew years.

A few years ago wo vcro shipping In the neighborhood of ono hundred cars of peaches, where tho last two or three years tho shipments have dwindled dwin-dled to itwelvo cars a year. Wo used to bo able to attract largo buyers where now ono very seldom appears. Of course wo have other fruits and we arc taking caret of by quite an extensive ex-tensive peddler trade. However, there is a great opportunity to more fully develop our horticulture resources. As was suggested by some of our citizens who visited Colorado last year, that where wo had. the available hind that wo should plant one or two acres of lilberla or J. H. Hales peaches peach-es and that wo fertilize, trim and thin and we can develop a peach that the market will demand and bring us fairly good' results. Why not as a community try to plant one or two hundred acres this spring? There are other kinds of fruit we place we live in, and why not try to ' make employment for our boys and - girls and keep them with us, when t we so badly need them and they need i? our protecting care?
