OGDEN Utah, sept 25.-(Special)--Fo
the first time in the development Of the
fruit industry on this region, ogden
peaches are being sold in carload lots in
the California market i'm competition with
the California product. Utah peaches are
of richer flavor and better color than the
Pacific coast fruit and, because of superior
qualities have won favor.
The local company handling all shipments

that ogden fruit las exceled every com
petitor in the eastern auction sales I'm the

The Four-State Fair has opened in Ogden
with an exhibltional department unsur-
passed by any fair in the country. The
district in which Ogden is situated is repre-
scented by exhibits as varied as are to be
found in far moro developed and richer
| states Fruits of all kinds are on exhibition,
and the vegetables displayed include sugar
| beets, cucumbcrs, squash. pumpkins and
half a dozen other products OF the soil
which are the basis Of large industries In
this city.
! Industrial Exhibits Interesting.
In the manufacturing line two large
! Portland cement plants are represented, the
! Ogden Portland Cement company, by
cement house built entirely of concrete,
and the Union Portland Cement company,
by a miniature structure representing the
latest uses to which cement is being APP
piled.

dozen of the largest dealers in this country
with importations from Canada, England
and France.
Jonathan Apples Thrive.
The Jonathan apples give promise Of
making this part of Utah famous In fruit
culture. John Derrig, an expert from Cali
Z fornia declares that the Ogden Jonathan
is an apple superior to that of the fruit
which has made the Hood river country
of oregon a horticulturists paradise. Mr.
7 Derrig is advising the planting of apple or
, chards, urging in support of his position
the wonderful productivity and unequaled
quality of the apples he is now shipping
, by the train-load.
Frank Moore, one of the commissioners
of this county, is authority for the state
ment that well cultivated, SPRAYED and
, profit of $500 per acre. with apples selling
at $3.50 per bushe as they are today in
Oregon.
Ten acres at $500 per acre is a profit OF
5000 and is interest at 10 per cent on $50, OOO,
; or greater return than is to be obtained
from the best orange groves in far-famed
Pasadena. Yet, strange to relate, and
e seemingly in contradiction, the raw land on
which an orchard of such splendid posi-
& bilities is to be developed can be had almost
for the asking in this overlooked state.
! where the great body of the people beyond
2 it's boundary lines are firmly of the opinion
t that nothing more profitable than a multi
: plcity of wives and children ever bless the
I home. r-.t
: With the influx of Nebraska and other
I farmers, 1t will be but a short time before
this section will be recognized as land of
q milk and honey, where nature has been
lavish in her bounteous gifts of climate soil
and water.

string of beet sugar factories have COM
menced operations, including the factory in
Ogden with capacity of 400 tons of beets
