and a flock of white leghorn chickens these animals are arc supported by the college farm which produces alfalfa grains and corn ensilage in connection with the farm the college has succeeded in demonstrating that water may be had franl a pump well in cedar valley the well is the result of years of experience on the part of tb the college years replete with criticism and adversity the experts of the institution realized that cedar valley must have water to produce and that it was the duty of the college as a state institution to prove that water could or could not be had the well was driven originally in 1910 at thi this time a small flow was obtained A few years later the piping was perforated abed but without result in 1925 another attempt was made to produce water and this time with the air of a byron jackson pump a flow of a second foot was produced by persistent efforts the college proved that underground water could be had in cedar valley though now it car carrying nying on to determine means and methods of the most successful farming in that region this well pumping water from more than two hundred feet below the surface is adequate to irrigate approximately one hundred acres of land ond and to insure the crop 1 connection with the farm a creamery is operated which produces produced butter cheese and ice cream while it is expected to pay its way the plant is not maintained for commercial reasons it is primarily a laboratory where the agricultural problems of southern utah are met and studied pl students who receive academic training in the feeding breeding and care of farm animals in the producing of agricultural crops and manufacturing dairy products and the marketing of the same find the plant an excellent laboratory where the practical side

changed to an all agricultural college and made a branch of the state agricultural college in order that it might better serve southern utah its early development was not too rapid so that by 1920 the college division was of no importance by 1922 the college enrollment was only ten students in 1923 the first junior college class was graduated in 1927 this spring the graduating class numbered sixteen and n over a hundred students were enrolled in the college division the recent activity in in the extension work the development of the campus the increased increased enrollment of students

by E RAG RAC LYMAN animal husbandly authority B A C the live stock industry of southern utah is and perhaps will continue for years to come to be one of the major industries of this section the to po graphy bf the country and climatic conditions are such that over 90 per cent of the area is not adapted to cultivated agriculture the greatest value from such lands comes from the native vegi tation that is trails transformed into meat and wool by herds that graze over these arid and and semiarid ranges sonic some idea of the importance of live stock to this section can be obtained from the following figures of shipments through cedar city car loads of sheep car loads of cattle 82 car loads of N ool and mohair receipts front rom these shipments for the past year ate aie estimated as follows sheep and lambs wool and mohair cattle total there are a number of other shipping points aside front from cedar city in this section where considerable quantities of live stock and wool are shipped namely iron springs Spi Sp ings lings lund and modena these figures however refer only to shipments from the cedar city station southern utah is particularly adapted to sheep husbandry the arid and climate and high altitude in connection with nutritious forage produced under these arid conditions all contribute to the growth and development of rambouillet sheep that are arc not surpassed for size sie and quality anywhere in the world the breeders bleeders bre eders levy 75 mills on each dollar of valuation in the county since the legal limit for districts having assessed valuations of between and per capita based on oil the school census is 75 mills thus per capita for each child on oil the can census rolls is available for the operation of school in the district from local taxation this amount is slightly under tinder the median for the state which is however the range in the state is bioni in jordan district to 1673 in washington county front from this it will be seen that iron county has average ability to maintain schools by local taxation iron county is equipped with modern school buildings most of which have been finished since consolidation the high school building in parowan carowan is modern and spacious equipment is rapidly being installed which will place the parowan carowan high school among the best equipped lural hig high 11 schools of the state the junior high school building and the grade school building of cedar city are both outstanding they are modern and well equipped not only are there good buildings in parowan carowan and cedar city but the sma smaller iler communities in most cases have buildings which compare favorably with the rural school buildings elsewhere in the state I 1 the iron county school district has have aimed to produce a large sheep sliced with a mutton conformation and a fine fleece of staple wool men blen who have gone cast to various sections of the united states invariably come back with sheep that are smaller than those produced in their own onn locality and vicinity have become world famous for their rambouillet sheep each year a show and sale is held by the Sou thein utah rambouillet Rani bouillet breeders bleeders Bre eders association this annual event is reported to be the largest rambouillet sheep show in america sheep from southern utah are going to many distant lands japan and russia having made large purchases in the last few years at most of the important ram sales of western america you will find sheep front from iron county and they are usually in good demand range sheep industry few localities in america are so favorably situated for the range sheep industry as is southern utah within a radius of GO 60 miles one can call travel front from a semitropical semi tropical climate to the high mountain peaks where snow can be found any time during the summer the sheep range on oil the high mountain plateaus and when cold weather sets in it is only a short distance to the desert ranges anges r on the el escalante tc or to dixieland where snow is a rare thing the mild winters of southern utah makes it possible for sheep to graze on the ranges the year aroud and they usually winter through in good shape without a supplement of hay or grain the arid desert land covered with a scanty growth of sage brush and shad scale becomes a valuable pasture for these hardy animals during the winter ta e M I 1 5 I 1 I 1 I 1 J 11 1 I 1 I 1 1 1 re A I 1 r I 1 no i ak 1 f ar 2 v F u oke I 1 A 1 a I 1 I 1 I 1 I 1 1 1 r Z e J irl r 1 I 1 I 1 I 1 ll 11 I 1 p 1 I I
