Tho work Of the southern utah ok
detrimental farm which has been
conducted under The direction

greatly hampcred by a severe FROST
which occurred ON April a. 1904, de-
stroHng nearly All The fruit ON the
farm. I'm establishing this farm, IL was
the Intention that 1t should be devoted
10 the illustration of ad ,nncod methods
I'm growing and caring for fruits 0f

chardists. particularly I'm that section

Individual work, Notwithstanding the
| partial failure Of the farm last year.
| many valuable experiments were car
| red through successfully and great
| benefit has been bestowed thereby ON
the horticulturists Of the southern part
| OF the state,
Recommendation are made by the
| board regarding the work of TINS iarlh,
as follows
| THAT an appropriation OF $4,000

Il from alknl The accomplishment
| of this viii prove beneficial as prac-
teal lesson to the farmers of the Dixie
country, whose land Is suffering from
| too much alkali

| ton aud the state board of horticulture,
| I'm order that the most scientific kind
| of experimental work may be done,
| under the AUSPICES OF the Agricultural
| college. This would save duplicating
| expensive experiments, aud the issuing
| of duplicate bulletins on horticultural
| subjects.
3. That another similar farm be es-
| tabllshed and located in the north
| central portion OF the state for the
| benefit Of the fruit growers of that re"
! glon. and that this be also under the
| direction Of the experiment station ana
the state board Of horticulture
4. The recommendation Is made That
certain changes be made In the horti-
| culture law itself looking to the better
! protection of the orchards of the state
! from injurious insects, and TO the
| more effective cooperation Of county
officers IN enforcing It's provisions.
/ am heartily In sympathy with the
| accommodation given above.
DAIRY AND FOOD COMMISSIONER,
The report of the dairy and
| food commissioner for the two
years just past shows gratifying
results Of the enforcement Of the pure
| food law passed by the last Legislature,
| A rigid analysis Of the articles OF food
| supposed to be adulterated, and the
| prosecution Of manufacturers and gro
| GERS found to have violated the law
| have resulted in the exclusion from sale
| in the state OF a number of food pro-
| ducts seriously injurious to health. An
! other result of this rigid examination
| enforcement of the law is that manu-
| facturers and wholesalers Of various ar
| tlcles OF food are asking that analysis
| of their articles be made, in order that
| they may be continued or admitted In
the market Of the state.
| STATE BOARD OF MEDICAL EN-
AMINERS.
The report Of this board for the past
| two years is hereby submitted. II shows
that a few more than a hundred per
sons have received, during the past two
! years, certificates to practise medicine
or obstetrics. Inasmuch as the idea Of
| reciprocity in the granting OF certii-
Gates Is obtaining among the different
states, the board recommends the fol-
lowing amendment to section 729, title
50, Revised Statutes OF Utah:
THAT the board may in its dscre-
ton, issue, upon payment Of an eX-
animation Fee and without eXamina-
tion Of the applicant a certificate to
such persons as already hold a certd-
cate issued by the medical examining
board Of the District of Columbia, or
of any state of the United States; pro-
vlded however, that the legal require
ments OF such medical examining board
shall at the time Of issuing such certn-
cate, In no degree or particular be less
than those of the State OF Utah at the
time when such certificate shall be pre-
scented to the board of medical exam
liners Of this state; and provided fur
Their that the provisions Of this para
graph shall be held to apply only to
such of said medical examining boards
as accept the register, or issue their
certificates upon presentation Of the
certificates issued by this board without
examination by them Of the persons
holding such certificates"
take pleasure in adding my
| recommendation to that Of the
board Of medical examiners, that
such an amendment be made.

The State Historical society Of Utah
was organized In 1897 for the purpose
of collecting material OF a historical

nent depository IT has succeeded in

The proper care OF these relics and
| the securing and care Of others I'm the

/ the society and the officers of II ask
for an appropriation to purchase a site
for building and to erect one wing Of

judgment,
STATE BUREAU OF STATISTICS.
The report Of the state commissioner
| Of statistics shows that the work Of
| the bureau Is increasing In importance

! pie manifested toward this work at
first Is being dissipated. and they are

commissioner The value of the work
Is better appreciated each year.

! bureau would do here and I'm other
states, the Utah bureau is giving spe-
cial attention 10 the matter Of irrlga-
