practice is responsible for the oft re-
peated saying that it Is necessary TO

The saying is confession that the

no attention is being given TO keeping
it up. and it is necessary to bring in
seed from somo place where that atten

strated that homegrown seed Of al

winter. 1t is possible. however. TO 81
arrange matters that by far the greater
bulk of the work will come In elthe!
one season OF the other.
y possible objection that might be
urged against winter darylng is that IL
ncccss!tarcs the purchase Of several hun =
dred dollars worth OF grain TO balance
inc homegrown feeds, Experiments
have shown, however. that the Increased
dividends more than compensate their
outlay. 1t has also been demonstrated
that the fertil!zing value OF the manure
from such feed IS greatly Increased. II
has been estimated that cottonseed meal,
bran, oil meal. and other by-product
feeds are worth for fertilizers from one
fourth to three-fourths OF their original
cost after they have been fed. Thus this
Is not a dead expense.
IN view of the above facts Il is but
fair 10 draw the conclusion that !; Is
much more profitable To have the dairy
cows ireshsn in the fall rather than in
tine spring because the temperature cor
ditions are more favorable. because the
hy nuisance is abated, because the period
of lactatlon is heightened. because more
time aud attention can he given TO the
cows during The winter, and because II
makes Il possible 10 raise better calves
and hogs. while the additional expense

BRAINS BRING MONEY

Commercial clubs and trade organiza.
tons of various kinds are important be-
cause OF their work in helping the city
and the state TO realize their highest
economic possibilities. 1t is their busi-
ness to discover 30 the people the re-
sources of the state and TO stimulate
their development. Perhaps the time
IS not FAR oil when commercial organ
izations will come 10 realize that the
most important resource OF a state is its
brains, the native intelligence of the
people. When that time comes the COM

tions Will be among the most important,
Universities and colleges are institu-
tions for the developing of this most i'm
portant resource of the state, the dy-
manic force of its brain power Within
the last few years the state university
has sent out men who Will ultimately do
more for the development Of the state
economically than the investment of
many times the cost OF their education
In what arc regarded as the more di-
rect ways of realizing profits on an in
vesjment.
AT the present time two graduates

Utah is constantly sending out gradu-
ates who arc reducing soil waste and

The University Of Utah is a servant
of the state. The moro students the
state can encourage to seek its advau-
tages, the better will the institution
serve. For that reason it views its
progress the last few years with salts
faction.
The present wear the number of col.
leee students has nearly reached the

possible for q student TO complete his

The addition of q department Of in

Another extremely important factor in

the milk supply sometimes by one-haH. :.
