PRAISE FROM PRESIDENT
Director General Rowe cherishes
among his fondest memories of the fair
the fact that he was selected az mem
Der OF "a small committee which formed
q part of the escort TO President TAN
while he was AZ the fair. The close as
sociatiOn which came TO Mr.. Rowe as .
member Of this committee IN his rela-
tons with the president and his party
taught him a new reverence for TIE
head Of the nation, and for President
Taft as citizen OF tine nation. Being
with him all through the DAYS Of his
close view OF the man and his outward
manifestations OF his inner self. "A
great big man IN every sense that the
word can convey" is his impression OF
President Taft. In his visit 70 the Utah
building the president expressed to Mr..
Rowe his appreciation Of the display
afforded and spoke feelingly OF the re
ception accorded him la his stay in
Salt Lake and other Utah cities

praise with their exhibits and among
them none attracted more attention
than the exhibit of the Utah Idaho
Sugar company. an exhibit showing al
the phases OF the production of sugar
from beet to sack This exhibit includ
cd handsome photographs Of the vari-
Gus plants Of the company. and an at
tendant was on frand at all times TO
inteligenty acauaint visitors with the
history of the sugar industry IN Utah
and Idaho and to discuss with them the
various processes concerned in the ma
king of the finished article. The awards
made to Utah manufacturers went far
10 swell the list OF utah's prizes-a list
that compares more than fasOrably
with those OF any other state
MIR Rowe before his return TO Utah
visited the famous fruit growing valleys
of the northwest including the Yakima
ana HOOD river Ndlt'1S' W Investment
in those valleys promises such returns
as may be realized in Utah. declares
Mr. Rowe. Fruit lands in Utah with
tho remarkable soil, climate and ir1iga-
ton will yield double what any OF the
valleys visited by Mr. Rowe viii. Water
rights IN Utah are sold. he says, for far
less than similar rights IN any other
part OF the United States.
There Is one thing, however, which,
In MT Rowes opinion, Utah fruit grow
ers can learn With pr0fit from the grow
ers OF the northwest. and that Is the
value OF proper thinning Of orchards,
spraying and cultivation PAGING, too,
Is an important item IN the fruit grow
ing industry. and Mr.. Rowe declares
that n these points will be studied more
by Utah people, their profits win run
far higher than they do now.
