A new course Is announced by the
Utah Agricultural College which is
new departure in educational meth.
DDS. This Is the so-carled "Colonists'
Course" which will be offered to ed
ucate those people who are coming
into. Utah and who are unfamiliar
Nth the resources and possibilities
Of the state. II Is hoped that many
blunders in settlement and greater
returns for effort will follow as re-
suit OF this work. In the opinion OF
Prof. Harrison Dale. In charge Of the
Correspondence Courses and under
whose supervision the work will be
given, such a course has never been
offered before by an educational in
stitution in America, and II offered
because the conditions in the west
are peculiar and because so many
people who are coming here to set
tie are unfamiliar with the semi.arid
conditions.
The work will include discussion
of the agricultural AMI industrial pos
sib,lities of the State and will be con-
Quoted entirely by correspondence
supplemented, however, probably Dy
personal visits. 1t is thought that the
railroad will welcome this course as
an aid to the movement which they
have undertaken toward giving pub
licity to the States resources. The
course will last about six months and
will be handled by regular assign
ments from the College Faculty,
through government and state bullet
ms and through citations from texts
already published and texts in pro
cess OF publication by the College
faculty, The details Of the Colonists
Course are as follows:
1. Geography and Natural Resoui-
ces of Utah. Ito include climatic
conditions, scenery attractions. physi-
cal features. rain fall. mineral depos.
its, forests. water power, etc., Prof.
William Peterson
2. History OF Utah settlement. Ito
include the settlement OF the Salt
Lake Valley and the history OF sub

BOOSTING UTAH
Union pacific, o. 8. l. and Related
Lines Advertising the West.

The Oregon Short Line and the
Union Pacific and related interests
are doing a great deal OF advertising
to attract attention to Utah and the
west In general. In attractive dress,
display advertisement covering four
columns has recently appeared in
eastern newspapers. Among other
things, this publicity said:
How little they know OF Utah who
think only OF Great Salt Lake!
Utah the father of irrigation in all
America Utah the fertilizer of des-
erts; Utah, the garden spot created by
man! This wonderful state, whose
southern line is a citrus belt and
whose northern line is rich with the
harder fruits and grains, has already
added $500 100000 to the country's
wealth and is now increasing it by
81 900 100000 every ten years. Utah
is the land where nobody prays for
rain.
ION the day Brigham Young arriv-
ed with his little band of 140 men
he started the first irrigation canal.
That was "a years ago, and they
have been building canals ever sim
ce--until now, the mouth of every
river Is reservoir, and every stream
ends in a dam. Utah never knows
what a crop failure Is and her yields
are so great you can hardly believe
the reports Every part of Utah 81
900, 900 acres Is known to us-every
fertile valley, every mine and every
cattle range. And, iwth all of her
enormous wealth, Utah, as we know
is begging for men. There is 1870
acres for every man, woman and baby
who will come. There is wealth un-
told awaiting you, and you can have
a lions share II you will only answer
this first clarion call. Even the pro-
portion of wealth for Utahs babies
is $500 year

EXCITING AUTO
RACE At OGDEN
H. c. James, Manager of The
James Blair Auto Co, With
Ford Car Defeats Stimson
With Cadillac in Two Out
of Three Events.

Ogden, March, 26.-Several humid
red automobile enthusiasts watched
an exciting race yesterday afternoon
on the Rlverdale road, between John,
Stimson, the local restaurant man US
ing a Cadillac machine and Manager
James, OF local garage, who drove a
Ford car. In two of the three heats
which were driven, the Ford car prov
ed to be the faster
The race was the result of an ar
gument by the different owners OF the
different cars which occurred few
days ago. At that time 1t was decided
that the difference of opinion regard
ing the speed of the cars should be
left to a practical demonstration, the
time and place for the race being ag-
reed upon. While 1t was not expect
ed that the contest would be witness
sed by more than dozen friends Of
the contestants the interest in the
proposed race was such that about
forty Ogden cars were lined up along
the race course when the starting shot
was fired. The course chosen was a
straight stretch of road near River
dale and the distance measured Off
was one mile.
Both cars were stripped for the
race and each. carrying the driver
only, was placed in a fair condition
for a perfect tryout. e..s
In the first heat a flying start was
taken and James in the Ford carried
the honors by distance of about tlf-
ty yards. Time So seconds. The Sc.
cond heat was from the stand, Slim

Alfalfa Seed Growing.

We know of several people who
have tried to raise alfalfa seed this
year, but for some reason it does
not seed very full. We left about
an acre for seed OH our ranch, but
the seed was so scattering on most
OF 1t that we cut it for hay.
we saw very good piece of seed
OF about six acres being raised by
Mr.. Newbrough, in the canyon near
the Clear Lakes bridge. He thought
it would make five or six bushels to
the acre. Who can tell us why
some fields will develop a good crop
of seeds while Others will not.

The Cooperative Creamery.

We understand that Mr.. Carleton
is meeting with good encouragement
in pledging cows for the proposed
creamery, and has something over
200 COWS listed now.
Our suggestion in regard to bring
ing in some cows this fall seems to
interest a good many people, and
already we have enquiries for about
80 COWS.
We hope to be able to get a nice
bunch OF good cows in here for sale
upon the payment of one-fourth
cash and the balance payable
$500 monthly from the time the
COW is fresh.

Rabbits.

1t is reported that an epidemic
has broken out among the rabbits
up on the top land west of Bull and
above the location where we discoT-
ed the disease some time ago in the
canyon. The bitches and fields are.
said to be full OF dead rabbits, and
the live ones have become very
scarce.
We have finally succeeded in
finding one Of the dead ones in the
canyon, and have sent it, PACKED in
ice to Prof. Nicholson, the Bacterial
ogist at the State University at Mos
COW. If he can succeed in isoating
the disease germ he will come down
and make further Investigations.
and it is hoped that We will be- able
to spread the disease over the North
Side tract. On our recent visit t.
the canyon We learned that the dis
ease has appeared among the rail-
bits on our side of the river down
in the canyon.

Few farmers realize the importance
of studying the reports sent out by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
in making their plans for the future
It seems that the old habits cling to
US. and we year after year SOW or
plant corn, oats. wheat, barley. ETC.,
without any special concern regarding
what the future price may be as based
upon the supply carried over from the
year before. This method Of farming
certainly does not show a practical
application Of business principles to
agriculture There are reasons, per-
haps. for this Indifference in planning
our farm operations. Farm lands
have been increasing In value very
rapidly, also farm products, and 1t has
not been necessary for the farmer to
figure so closely as the business man
in order to make a profit on his prod
ucts, nevertheless the man who does
meets with the greatest success Very
few and perhaps no other line Of busi-
ness could be engaged in successfully
without careful study Of the condi-
tions OF that business. Just recently,
the writer knew Of case where coal
dealer had planned to go into business
for himself the first Of March. but
after he had resigned hts position he
began studying conditions and found
that a coal strike was inevitable. A
strike Of this kind. to a man just start
ing in business, would be extremely
disastrous and probably result in fail
Urea fate which this man avoided
by studying conditions.
Every farmer should study carefully
the reports, facts and figures sent out
by the U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture. We find in going over the
records that the farm value OF sl4.s4
per ton for hay in 1911 was higher
than has ever occurred before In the
history of the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture. At no other time. ex-
cepting N 1871. did the price any
where near approach the price for
1911. At that time it was s14.30 per
ton on the farm,

the products Of the farm that makes
farming profitable. The writer was
recently in one Of the large factories,
and was impressed with the strict
principles of economy which were
followed One operation in the manu-

which was transferred to another de-
partment and utilized for tying ship
ping sacks and for other purposes. If
it is necessary for big manufacturing
companies to be so economical in order
to make a profit. it is more important
that the farmer should adopt like
principles which Will enable him to
reap greater benefits and mere profit
from his land.
Speculation is what might be termed
dealing in futures. or a business trans
action Of hazardous, uncertain or
unusual nature with the hope of real
izing unusual profits therefrom. The
farmer who plans now to supply forage
in the form of corn fodder. millet. ETC..
and prepares to place on the market
good supply Of marketable hay is not
indulging IN speculation in the least.
for government figures combined with
unusual weather conditions show that
there Is and will continue to be for
some time to come. a scarcity of
hay throughout the entire country
Taking into consideration these con-
ditions, it does not seem that the
farmer can make any mistake by plan
ming to utilize his corn in the form OF
fodder for rough forage. and to sell
his marketable hay.

record. The price at this time was
also unusually low. In 1909 the supply
fell off considerably and the price
advanced. The same is true in 1910,
while in 1911 there was decrease OF
nearly l3,00O.000 tons over the year
1910, and the price increased mate
rally. This shows that the price
varies to a marked extend in accord
ance with the supply and demand.
The excess Of hay in 1908 was un-
doubtedly instrumental in keeping the
price at low figure during 1909.
The continued reduction in the pro-
duction Of hay for the past four years,
combined with the ract that we have
Just passed through an unusually long
and severe winter, which to farmers
needs no comment, would indicate
that there is an unusual scarcity OF
hay throughout the agricultural dis
tricts. A late spring is not condu-
Give to a good hay crop; hundreds OF
farmers have reported the total loss
of their clover and, in many cases,
of the alfalfa also. Many farmers
have paid as high as s25 per ton for
hay, and in the cities baled hay has
sold as high as $40. Connecting with
this the fact that due to the nature
OF tame hay. it is practically impos-
sible to wiliully influence the nuctua-
ton of production in one season. it
seems almost q certainty that nay
will be high next winter.
The hay crop is different from some
of the other farm products: potatoes,
for example. II the price Of potatoes
scars unusually high. 1t Is almost a
sure indication that, if conditions are
favorable, the next years market will
be low, due to the fact that an un.
usual acreage of potatoes will be
planted and the market overstocked.
With the hay crop such an immediate
fiuctuation cannot occur and still leave
enough good hay on the farms for
feeding. About the only remedy for
this situation is that the farmer begin
right now to plan for next winter.
These plans should include sowing
some crop for forage. The farmer has
at his disposal the millets. sorghum
cane, cowpeas. field peas. the cereals,
and corn. The most important OF
these is corn, which perhaps will pro-
duce a greater yield Of forage peracre
with the least amount of unusual hb
or, than any of these crops. Mos
farmers are not accustomed to hand
ling some Of these crops, but have for
years cut at least small amount o
corn fodder and know how to handle
this feed satisfactorily. By cutting
corn there is also the saving of grea
waste which is usually neglected O.
the ordinary farm. Thousands @
acres Of cornstalks are left standin
every year which would supply forae'
for a large percentage of our stock
enabling the farmer to market his
hay at profit and besides utilize t
a great extent all the products Of hi
