BENEFITS FROM THE LAND

BENEFITS FROM The LAND
SHOW.
Now that the land show in Chicago
Is over. It is up to the people Of Utah
TO try and get the largest possible de-
gree of benefit from the affair. With
out doubt the land show turned the at
tention Of many eastern people to the
unoccupied regions Of the west. In
many ways the people Of other states
have been very active in the matter.
Idaho washington, Colorado, and even
sections of Texas and louisiana have
made a great effort to turn travel and
the tide of purchase in their direc-
ton. With the amount of money Utah
men felt warranted in spending, this
state has made an admirable showing;
and if the people shall follow up the
advantage that has been secured, the
state will be immensely benefited.
For example. many of the eastern
cities carry advertisements like the
following:
WESTERN FARM LANDS
DRY LANDS
IRRIGATED LiANDS
WHEAT, FRUIT OR GARDEN
LANDS.
If YOU want a new home with a small
outlay or money. address
And then follows the name of the
firm. Most of them are recognized as
houses Of established responsibility.
Those advertisements are, Of course,
addressed to the possible investor in the
east. Besides them, and usually from
the same firms, are other announce
ments like the following:
ARE YOU TRYING TO FINANCE
AN IRRIGATION PROJECT?
Do YOU WANT TO RECLAIM A
BIG TRACT OF ARID LAND?
WE ARE PREPARED TO FL
NANCE GOOD PROPOSITIONS.
CALL ON OR ADDRESS
And there follows the name of the
Chicago advertiser.
We believe that the time has come
when any promising prospect in Utah
can be financed. The practical value
of the enterprise is recognized Either
irrigated lands or dry lands are known
10 possess the soundest of values. There
is no fear for them on the part Of men
having money.
Surely there is no fear for the work
on the part of Utah's people. We know
the land here is fertile; that it viii yield
big returns for the farmer who earnest
" and intelligently prosecutes his
search for fortune in the soil of the
state. We know that there is market
for everything in the line of foOdstuffs
that can be raised in Utah. There is
money in wheat. There is more in
fruit. There are fortunes for dairy and
poultry owners.
The door has been opened little
wider by the land show so successfully
conducted by the Chicago Tribune 1t
IS up to our people to take advantage
of the opportunities that exist-and
that have been made the more easy by
the increased attention recently direct
ed toward the state
DEVELOPMENT has been going all
around more than into Utah. The state
has been badly advertised by some of
its own people, and investment has
been avoided by that countless multi
tude that always and everywhere goes
TO the west for the making of a farm.
The fairer truth is becoming known in
the east. and all over the nation. Peo-
Die realize that the seekers for new
land have been going farther ana not
faring any better Now the tide is in
clfned to turn. 1t is up TO the people
of the state TO bring farmers into Utah.
Every county in the state has advan-
tages to offer. There are no better, if
so good. I'm any other state. Make
known what you have. Follow up the
advantage that has been secured
through the land show. Your repre-
sentatives made "a good impression
there. They have convinced thousands
of the advantage of helping in the de-
veIopment of Utah. Get into touch
with those who can help. and with their
representatives Bring the people to
Utah. Make homes on the land

share. Let "a like enterprise be evil
denced in every section of the state
