OGDEN, Sept 1z.-That Utah fruit
growers are overlooking markets near

California fruit districts is the belief OF
j, S. Carver former chairman Of the

few experiments along this line. The
results are in accordance with the local
groceryman's belief
From Mrs. Annie Dee Hoffman, a resi-

ceived the following letter:

TO say that they are superior both in

prised when this case Of peaches ar

Another case OF Utah peaches was sent
by Mr., Carver to Mrs c. III. Bowman, re-
siding in Butte, Mont. This was her
reply:
We appreciated the elegant Utah
peaches and pears. In size, flavor and
beauty they surpass any fruit l have
ever seen. 1t Is a matter Of regret
that we cannot have Utah fruit
shipped into Montana,
, Throughout this season es we'll as In

booster of Utah fruit than Mr.. Carver.
