UTAH CHERRIES
receive PRAISE

J. z. Carver repudiates the allega-
tion that Utah cherries cannot be
shipped to distant markets.
AS proof OF the falsity Of recent
statements made by certain persons
to the effect that Utah cherries which
have been shipped to a distance have
usually been found 10 be in poor and
unstable condition, Mr. Carver pro-
duces a number OF letters which he
has received in acceptance OF boxes
or Utah cherries which he shipped
some time ago 10 friends In the east.
These cherries went 10 Missouri IL
nois. Indiana, Ohio and other eastern
states and the reports received re-
garding their condition make interest

Mrs. Kate Brown Green, writing
from Cleveland, Ohio. SAYS in mart:
Il received the lovely box of fruit
In good condition. which was quite
remarkable considering the distance
and the hot weather. Those cherries
were certainly 6ne and we often
speak of Ogden canyon and see In our
minds eye the peaches with red
cheeks on the trees and the bright
green foliage. We shall now compare
your cherries with some We cot In
Florence. Italy. last year which we
thought so far ahead OF those OF our
own country. The Utah cherries can
compare with any OF them. Mr..
Green returned from Texas In time
to get a chance at the cherries. We
were afraid they would not keep un-
till he arrived and they didn't after
he got at them"
Mrs Cora Eames, writing from
Montgomery City. Missouri. thanks
Mr.. Carver for his thoughtfulness In
sending the cherries and continues.
I'VE had TO throw away part OF
them. but had enough to make three
glasses of cherry jelly which ] am
very proud of. 1t is the first fruit
| have put up this year. We have
saved the seed and are wondering
II we can raise similar ones or must
they be grated? They were dell
cious, and must look very pretty
hanging In clusters as we could see
from the twlgs in the box. Has the
climate anything to do with their
sweetness or is 1t the variety? We
were delighted with them"
S. s Schmidt. writing from Chi.
cago. June "A. says:
I'VE received your card this morn.
ing and the cherries in the afternoon.
The cherries are certainly fine and
for flavor, have the California pro-
duct beaten a mile. Many thanks for
your kind remembrance
Mrs. Martha Wilson, writing from
Worthington, Indiana. thanks Mr.
Carver for his box OF cherries and
adds the following:
The cherries were simply delicious
and we certainly did enjoy them |
took part OF them up to a friend and
passed them all around the neighbor-
hood Everyone saved the seeds so
that In few years perhaps we'll have
Utah cherries here. What do you
Think"
Mr.. Carver thinks that anyone who
would boost for Utah and our home
products should learn the true facts
In the case before Joining the anvil
chorus" TO knock one of our principal
industries-fruit raising
According 10 these letters which
Mr.. Carver has received. the ship
ments Of cherries sent out In June to
the distant cities named had to pass
through a thousand miles of extreme.

almost as hot and Sultry as are the
days and they evidently arrived az
their destinations In all but perfect
condition BOOST" 4 knocker
