AGRICULTURE IN UTAH

ruined by an accumulation of salts The
experiment station. in cooperation with
the bureau of soils, have during the
past year reclaimed forty acres OF this
land near Salt Lake City, and next year
some marvellous results with this tract
are confidently expected. The land
has been underlaid with tiles and fire.
quent irrigation has washed the inju-
riOus salts out of the soil The expense
has been very small as compared with
the value of the land where once re-
claimed.
We have not space here to speak OF
the sensational discoveries and far
reaching results of the experiments in
irrigation at the Agricultural college.
Suffice it to say that with the present
water supply the irrigated area and the
crop output can no doubt be doubled,
perhaps trebled, by a more rational and
scientific use of water
We have not space to discuss the live
stock industry, the poultry. and bee.
and silk industries, but will content
ourselves by saying that an evolution is
gradually going on in Utah agriculture
which is affecting all phases and
branches of the industry.
Finally, the past year in agriculture
has been an epoch making one. "A year
of progress and Improvement. The man
who fails to see the silent, onward, up
ward trend of this industry in this state
is a dullard. If its portent does not dis

snowfall that fell over the northern

Beyond all question, Utah win be famed
some day for the quantity and quality
or Its dairy products 1t is an ideal re-
Sion for dairying because of the health
Iul climate, the pasturage possibilities
ana the quantity and excellence of the
crops grown for winter feed. There has
been marked Improvement during the
past year in the attention given to some
or the fundamental principles of dairy
ing, such as securing a better. grade of
COW or the dairy type, feeding balanced
ratlonS and greater care and diligence
exercised in observing clearly and sani-
tary precautions in the barn and in the
dairy. Many of the milk producers
have introduced the hand separator on
the farm and thereby eliminated the
wasteful element in the old system of
hauling all of the milk to the creamer
The hand labor on the farm is more
than offset by the increased value of
the fresh, warm skim milk Two con-
densed milk factories, one at Richmond
and the other at Logan, have been
erected and put in operation during the
year. This is a new business for Utah.
and it is d mark of progress to note
that the products of these factories are

foreign countries.

never better and the markets and out

been almost bare of products There
are great many farmers in Utah to-
