If indications prevalent tho past

good for the immediate future, the Of

hands full taking care of the people
who are evidently anxious to take ad-
vantage of the company's plan for buy

without the initial payment being made
at the time the house is completed,

SEES OPPORTUNITY
FOR HOG RAISERS

AS the basis Of its advertising cam
paign for selling irrigated and non
irrigated lands in Blue Creek valley,
Box Elder county. the Burt G. Carl,
qnst company is directing attention to
the possibilities Of the hog-raising in
dustry in the state. In speaking upon
this, subject, c. II, Carlquist of the farm
lands department said: HNot many peo.
pie, including our best Utah farmers,
of live hogs are shipped into the state
every month in order to supply the To-
cal packing. plants and slaughter houses
with animals. In fact, one Ogden plant
alone averages more than twenty-five
cars per month. In addition to the live
hogs which are shipped into the state,
in order to supply the local consump-
tion, there are trainloads of pork and
bacon shipped into the local market
from the packing and farming centers
of the middle west.
Utah could do nothing that would re-
tain more money in the state than to
boost the hograising industry.
50 During the pnst week we sold four
forty acre irrigated tracts in Blue
Creek valley, where irrigated alfalfa
and non-irrigated wheat and barley are
the staple crops. Nearly 100000 bush
els of wheat were produced there in
