Turkey Red is
The Best Wheat
Mllers at Annual Session Pronounce
Variety to Be Best for Bread.Mak-
ng-Asrieulturalists to Grow One
Kind Of Wheat.

A resolution was introduced at the
meeting of the Utah Millers and Grain
Dealers association yesterday after
noon in the Hotel Utah. recommend
ing that the legislature make provis.
ion for grain inspector
Utah is without any grain Inspec-
tion or standards. Millers buying
outside wheat must take the inspec-
ton of the state where the grain
comes from and shippers sending
wheat to other states ship it subject
to the inspection of the place OF de-
livery The mattS was referred to
a committee to report at the next
meeting, together with recommends
ton regarding uniform weights of
grain, flour and bread stuffs.
AT the session yesterday afternoon,
Robert H. Stewart OF the State Agri.
cultural college delivered an address
on The Baking Qualities of Utah
Flour Papers on the varieties Of
wheat Utah farmers should grow,
from the shippers and the millers
standpoint, were presented by David
Robbins of Salt Lake and William
Bailey of Nephi. The opinion seemed
to prevail that Utah's best flour is
made from turkey red wheat, and far.
mers will be advised to raise this
variety, as it makes more and bigger
loaves of bread to the barrel than any
other variety of wheat.

company, Fred Schroeder, captain Of
the 400-ton schooner Elviera, steered
his vessel into this port last night,
fresh from a sea otter hunting cruise

Schroeder said that as his vessel
neared Bosgoslav, an island peak in
northern waters, burst of vapor
rose above the island From the as
cending cloud, dust rained down upon
the sea, stirring it to boiling mass,
and as the vapor cleared new land
was in sight.
When it cooled off," said Schroe-

To Send Some
Utah Products
State to Be Represented at Interna.
tional Dry Farm congress-practi-
caIly Same as That Shown at other
Exposition.

The dry farm committee Of the Salt
Lake Commercial Club Wednesday
conferred with Gov. William Spry and
John A. Widtsoe. of Logan, president
Of the Agricultural College, relative
to delegation to represent Utah at
the sixth international dry farming
congress which opens Oct. 10, at Colo.
RADIO Springs. 1t was decided to send
as large a delegation as possible to
represent the state. Prof Lewis A..
Merrill, head of the Agricultural col
lege extension division, Prof. Widtsoe
and w. F. Zulich were named as the
nucleus of the delegation. More will
be named as fast as II can be learned
who will be able to attend.
A letter was read from Gerrit Fort,
passenger traffic manager of the I'm.
ion Pacific railroad company, offering
the free use of baggage car for the
transportation of Utah's exhibit to
Colorado Springs. The exhibit is now
at the state fair, and with the excep-
ton of few additions it is the same
that has attracted favorable comment
at other expositions. Joseph E.Caine.
secretary Of the Commercial club, and
Prof. l.. A. Merrill, were appointed
committee to look after the transpor-
tation Of Utah's exhibit. An attempt
will be made to get the dry farm con-
gress to come to Salt Lake in the
year 1918. No attempt will be made
for next year as it is understood that
the congress is booked for Canadian
city.

Subterranean Waters
OF the State Of Utah
Report Issued by United States Geo.
logical Survey in Cooperation with
State Engineer.

An investigation of the underground
water resources of Juab, Willard and
! Iron counties in the western pant of
! Utah, has been carried on by o. =.
Meinzer of the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, in cooperation with the
state engineer, and is discussed in
Water.Supply Paper 277. Just issued
by the survey The object Of the
work has been of course to obtain and
disseminate information which should
lead to greater utilization of The
ground-water supplies.
The agricultural development of an
Grid section, such as this, Is primarily
dependent on the amount of water
available. Large tracts of fertile soil
remain idle year after year for lack
of water for irrigation, while much
water that falls as rain and snowsinks
into the ground, saturates the porous
materials underlying the valleys and
deserts, and eventually reappears at
the surface in low alkali flats, where
1t is dissipated by evaporation with.
out producing useful vegetation. II
the water thus lost can be applied to
fertile soil 1t will substantially in
crease the agricultural yield of the
region
An urgent demand for information
in regard to ground-water prospects
has been created in recent years by
the adoption of dry farming methods
IN localities where water is not read
lily obtained. The water required fod'
culinary purposes and for supplying
the horses and traction engines used
in filling the soil on some of the dry
farms is at present hauled long dis
tances.
In most of the arid parts of this
region watering places of any sort
are SO scare that certain sections are
accessible for grazing only In the
winter, when sheep will depend on
snow for their water supply In some
of these sections. according to Mr..
Meinzer, an intelligent search would
probably discover ground-water sup
plies which would increase greatly
the value of the range.
Great Prehistoric Lake.
In tracing the early geologic his.
tory of the region which includes the
present Great Lake, Mr.. Meinzer
gives an interesting discussion of the
prehistoric Lake Bonneville, a great
inland sea which in ancient times
covered an area of 10000 square miles,
a tract twice as large as. the land
surface OF the State of Maryland. The
lake was S46 miles long, measured in
a straight line, by l45 miles wide, and
its surface was about 1000 feet above
the present level of Great Salt Lake.
