Our people have in the last two
years learned very much geography,
the lessons coming through the
wars in Cuba, Porto Rico, the
Philippines and South Africa. While
these conflicts have cost millions,
have brought sorrow and suffering
into thousands of homes and made
the heart of nations sad, yet they
have been valuable lessons to the
world and left an unmistakable i'm
press for good upon humanity every
where, an impress that will endure
and actuate future generations in be-
half of justice and the common code
of social and industrial ethics.

UTAH PLAN APPROVED.


Here Is what the Denver Field and
Farm has to say In approval OF the
method Of farming followed by the ma
iority Of farmers In this State;
The Utah plan Of farming has
proven so successful that We are con-
strained 20 speak OF II as a commenda-
bic method for more Of our smaller
agrlculturlsts 20 pursue. II is simply
this, TO 80 diversity the crops that near
ly every food product required for the
family Is grown IN quantity sufficient
for home use with some Of each to sell,
Let the farmer who had been accus-
toned 10 put all his effort 10 the pro-
duction OF one crop. say wheat or alfal-
IN or potatoes. just pause and consid-
or for q moment the results Of DIVERSE

cultlyates forty acres OF land. Ten
acres 10 wheat yields az least 300 BUSH

wur2els, pumpkins, squash, turnlps

Now 70 the Utah agriculturlsts would
