One of the important events OF the
year 1912 was the commencemept OF ac-
tual work on the Salt Lake O. Utah IN
terurban railroad that is now being
built by a company headed by the big
firm OF ), ], orem & Co. of this city
and which will traverse the nc9 coup-
try and pass through the thriving
towns and villages between the state
capital and Payson, Utah county.
For many years there had been no
rail transportation facilities In the
southern and central portion of Utah
except that supplied by the old Utah
Southern railroad, an extension OF the
original Utah Central. Then came the
Denver & Rio Grapde down out OF the
mountains near Springville, and FOR an
other period these two main lines we're
the only modern travelling Facilities
available to the people south Of salt
Lake. It required lot of beseeching

tural resources, before any particular

Just seed, but something further must
bo done Every pound of foreign seed
imported into our state brings with 1T
the possibility of adding a few new
species of the destructive insects or
plant diseases to the ones we already
have.
Many farmers cover up their lazy
methods OF farming by complaining
that their seed "runs out. while
others actually believe that their seed
does run out. II is true that in many
cases seed does "run out" but it is
usually tho farmer who runs it out.
1t has no other course. That old idea
must pass into oblivion before the
wide awake farmer who carefully Sc
lects his seed. These statements are
not the result of idle dreams, but are
based upon actual experience. Many
practical farmers have selected their
seed and upheld the standard of Ger
tain varieties for the past ten years
without change of seed.
There is another cause of crop fail
ure or cause Of the so-called 'runnlng
out. - This IS the CONTINUOUS increase
Of certain plant diseases and insect
pests where any crop is grown con
tinuouslv without properly caring for
The land. The farmers Of this state
would BIO surprised if they knew the

ing are changing very materially, An
article of this nature will not permit
of detailed statement of methods. but
il you are interested in this subject
write to US at the college, stating your
problems and crops, and we shall help
you where we can.
The old practice OF selecting seed
from the bin or cellar is q dangerous
practice,
In certain sections of the United
States experiment station workers have
obtained results which indicate that
large kernels Of grain are usually pro-
duced by low yielding plants, while
the high yielders more often produce
numerous kernels, but of somewhat
smaller size. In other sections the re-
verse condition has been found. In Il
linois an experiment was carried out
In which seed from the one thousand
exposition was grown alongside Of some
seed from vell-bred strains of the same
variety of corn.
The result was: For tho prize.winuer
| 80 bushels and for the well-bred seed
l04 bushels, The whole trouble was
| in the method of selection. In the first
case the farmer had been selecting for
! an ear of corn perfect in outline, well
filled with uniform kernels of snowy
nature. He was breeding for looks
only.
The other man had been selecting
high-yielding strains. He used seed
| from plants producing a larger num-
ber of ears at the expense of good ap-
pearance. The first man sacrificed
yield for beauty. After all, the thing
the practical farmer wants is high
yield and lots of money. Beware of
advertisements boosting fancy varieties
Of any crop.
II our farmers would succeed in keep
ing up a good high-yieldlng strain of
their crops they must use the plant
as basis Of selection and not the ker.
mel, head. etc In certain sections of
the United States the other system may
, be successful. but IN this climate it is
dangerous. 1t is q great pity that we
have not worked out these very prob
lens for our own conditions, but it
must soon como.
The quickest and most sure way to
get these results is for you farmers to
demand it. The present state appro'
priation is insufficient to meet these
problems. but if they mean so much
to tho state, why not have it?

INJURY TO CONDUCT RETREAT
 AT ST. PATRICKS
Eloquent Jesuit Missionary, Well Known Here, to Organize
 Holy Name Society
Will Preach Each Evening Be ginning Wednesday, For Four Days, and Will Close Retreat With Public Communion Sum- day Morning

Rev. Joseph A Muary, S. J., rector of St. Peters church and college, Jer- sey City, and famous as one Of the a!bEest of pulpit orators in the country, will conduct a four days retreat at St. Patfick's church, this ctiy, begin ning "Wednesday evening. The retreat will be exclusively for the men and boys of the parish, whom he will en- roll in the Holy Name society
 Father Mulry is well knokn to St. Patrick's parishioners, for he was one of the JeSuits who conducted g. mis- sion in St. .Patrick's year ago. The success of the mission was so widely heralded that Catholics and non-Cath- olics from all parts Of the city docked to hear the eloquent and jealous mis- eSfOnary clergyman.
 Father M1Ilry is particularly inter ested in the spreading of the Holy Name society throughout the Catholic world. At a recent dem onstratton of the Holy Name societies of Jersey City and vicinity his own parish society, 1.500 strong. led the parade It is planned to hold a similar demonstra- ton in this city next month, and to that end the parishes where no socie- ties have been founded, are preparing to organize, and in the existing socie- ties work already is under way to 1n- crease the membership and interest. ,. Beginning Wednesday evening and continuing each evening thereafter to Saturday inclusive the men and boys of the parish win meet at St. Patricks church at T:39 for devotions and a. ser mon. The eloqJrence of Father Mulry no doubt will attract many beyond the confines of the North End par ish
 Sunday morning at o'cslock the en- tire Holy Name society of the parish will receive communion in body. In connection with his mission work F,a- ther Mu1ry has been highly successful in the organization of Holy Name so- cieties. The chief objects of this or ganization aFe-to spread a deeper rev efence for the name Of God, and to sacraments at frequent intervals.

Strong Arm Squad Men Are Under Cross Fire Today
 Setback for Defense

New York, Oct. 21.-With1 his own life as the great stake, Police Lieu tenant Charles Becker will, this week. play the game with every card in his possession. Realizing that the state, through Rose, Webber, Val1on and Schepps, has woven a very strong web about him, the former head of the strong arm squad assigned to prevent public gambling will take the stand in his own defense. Both de- fense and prosecution admitted. to- day, that on his own story will de- pend whether he is to go free or be taken up the river, to await eNecu- ton.
 The prosecution, it is known, plans to produce the certified copies of the Becker deposit records when the de- fendant takes the stand, although introduction while the prosecutions s case was being presented.
 The defense, it was learned when court opened. today, will make an eff fort to show that the shot which kill ed Rosenthal, was actually fired by Harry Valon; one of the states wit munity. The defense will try to show that $15,0O0 was raised to get Rosen- thai to leave town with another gam bler who had agreed to corro. borate his story to the district attor- ney. that this money was actually paid over, that both Rosentha1 and the other man refused to live up to the agreement and the killing fol- lowed.

BRIEF MEETING OF

With little or no business of spe- cia1 importance to come before the Common Council tonight, its meeting is expected to be very short one. The request of the fire commissioners to put before the voters of the city at the next election, the proposition of allowing the issuance of ss5, 900 in bonds, will come up by way of re- port from the Miscellaneous commit tee The report leaves the matter en- tirely up to the Council itself so that the proposition will be decided by the aldermen without recommendation from the committee. The fire commits sioners want the money to build a new fire headquarters and to install a manual alarm system
 There are few hearings, one on the establishment of building line on Win ter street, another on the establish ment of a grade and building line in Whittier street, and another on the establishment of a grade on East Ea- ton street. The matter of constructing sewers on Wade street and in Logan street and Huntington road, is to be heard.
