PROGRAM Is ANNOUNCED FOR
HORTICULTURAL CONVENTION
TO BE HELD HERE JAN. 26-27

Secretary J. E. Taylor of the state board
of horticulture, from information he has
been receiving during the last several
days, feels greatly encouraged over the
prospects for the big agricultural con-
vention to be held in this city Jan. rs and
q. Correspondence with men who are
most wanted as speakers for the conven-
ton has been very satisfactory and
number have promised to come who will
DE able to greatly increase the interest of
fruit growers throughout the state and
whose papers and addresses will probably
be of great value to the horticulturists.
They are men for the most part who have
made a study of fruit growing and who
have had long experiences.
My report to the state board" said Mr..
Taylor, will show in the compilation of
statistics and In the reports from the vart-
Gus fruit counties of the state that horti-
culture has made vast strides I'm num-
Der of sections in this state the past two
years. For instance, the shipping statis-
tics show that much more fruit than for
the two years previous has been shipped
out of the state Notwithstanding the fact
that local consumption has increased con-
siderably, due to much settlement to some
extent. but largely because of new can
ming factories at various points. The re-
port will also show that a great many
acres of new orchards have been planted.
These figures, all combined, tend to show
the greatly increased interest in this state
concerning IIull anu Is al liiQlCa-
ton that the coming convention in this
city will be by far the biggest and most
largely attended convention of fruit grow
ers ever held in the state of Utah.
Mr. Taylor. assisted by others interested
in the convention, has succeeded in getting
promises of very good railway rates to
and from the convention. which will great
ly increase the attendance it is thought.

in Utah points on Jan. q and will be good
