Show HOW TO MEET PRESENT FARM difficulties altres with the possible kioh of 1879 the winter just passed has been the most severe winter ever known in this basin many people came into the country last fall and with an ordinary ary winter whiter would haye have been in good condition now MAL but with the hard cold winter have consumed conj j their substance and it leaves them in bad circumstances very many of eliose those who had been here a year or two halein like manner eaten u pl p everything they had and the out I 1 look this spring is gloomy and I 1 dark to them many have no hay bay or seed teams are poor and the lateness of the season has hadj 1 up to this writing brought no grass on oil which teams may live suid and work the jhb question with many is what is hf to b li dane donea to begin with we should not not loose hea heart it remember the winter extended over the whole country in about the same way and we are not alone ain un the un pue fd conditions that have fallen upon us remember the sun shines the soil is in capital condition for crops and the barvest I 1 we do put in should be most certain J those who have hay bay and grain s should be ba satisfied with vi ith good fair prices and should not be exa torti onate in their demands those who are extortionate should be left beverly alone and ro 1 ia matter what the suffering should be left with their produce on their hands hand j then we should plan and use 1 our heads a ea little as well as our rat muscles isciL a good deal we have all 1 i i ati 1 ig too much we have hava tirzah ti our aur cn c energies n cr gies over a 1 larSch rcA with disappointing re rata arf alta we vc have I 1 abc been farming ia aa even and hundreds q find q d have in 1 I many instances never received our seed ba back ek this s is all ail wrong and now that necessity is upon us let us profit b ly that necessity I 1 try matters on a smaller scale il this ds year but be more thorough 1 aith th it manure the little land you put in and then cultivate it instead of irrigating it to death remember one acre of wheat if the land is properly I 1 gay ten to twelve loads of ma ina liure to that acre ace will bread your family for a year it may de ba painful and slow getting the manure out onto that one acre bt but 19 thirk think what you save in get ting 50 bushels bush els from that acre as against the ten acres you plowed and planted last season for that amount of grain cut down dow n your a acreage i erea ge but take caro of that you do plant then there is the garden how many farmers realize the benefit of a good garden here as with the grain do not plant too natii much ali one row of pease alicd and kept free from froin weeds and not irrig irrigated abed to death will produce more th than several rows row S left to fight their way with the russian thistle the garden the hens and the cow should bring you a good comfortable living during the summer four hills of cucumbers properly cultivated will bring you all the pc ickles kles you need A few hills of melons will be a luxury all the latter part of the season if but tended remember the labor the cultivation i the largest element that enters into all this and that you mostly have at your command now as to the hay problem aroble m better let the horses run on the alfalfa stubble until the alfalfa starts and put the crops in a little later than to pay 30 or even 20 a ton for hay the man who would ask the latter price much of a christian and the man who would ask 30 a ton from his neighbor for hay is a 1 barbarian pure and simple his religion is greed he is unfit to associate with civilized people and should not be humored in any manner i i when it comes to cutting the lay hay cut it early dont let alfalfa stand until it is all allin in bloom cut it just as the first blooms are showing and you will get the largest tonnage during the season and your hay will be worth much more than if it is left standing until it is older and tougher r I 1 I 1 must be admitted that as a class class we were very slovenly farmers about here we lose much thru waste hay should be stacked and the stacks should be iv well 61 topped then keep the stock away nv ay from the stacks and when it 1 Is to go to the stock feed it to th them eirl hay is now very high but we ve have to say to you that I 1 it will remain firm in price not in several years in our judgment will hay rial ri al 11 be as bojt it js is going to ay paylo to ta take e care of the hay aa far danners let us begin ising now standards lets put thrift and progress into our work lot let us see how boy much enuch we can get from an ac acre re not how many acres we can roii run over and not half liala crop it will save labor to farm fewer acres and to do the work better pretty soon we will have a I 1 railroad phenye should soon have a sugar factory then our methods must improve or we ve will bc ba more previously grevious ly disappoint disappointed cited than we are now the great good that has come to them the lands of the state from beet raising has come primarily from the necessity of good culture in order to raise beets a at t a profit the re suit has been that every beet district becomes a thrifty well cultivated neighborhood all this country now needs is good farming methods to make the man who practises practices it thrifty and in dependant let us adopt the slogan an better farming for the uintah basin I 1 and the ills we now suffer will rapidly rap idly disappear |
