ors About City.

That the National Education Asso,
citation convention has been of untold
benefit to business conditions in Salt
Lake City is the opinion of members
Of the Progress Realty s. Building com
pany. ''The convention has not only
helped us generally but specifically. We
have made several sales to n. E. a.
delegates said member of the firm
Yesterday.
The Progress company has spent
much time during the last week in TAX
ing \. E. A. visitors about the city,
mot only to show them the property
they have TO offer but to show the gen
gral outlook for business in this city.
The unanimous opinion of those who
were taken about the city was that
ealt Lake City is among the most desir-
able residence and investment cities In
the country. ". S. Wallace, 2 member
of the company in discussing the opera
tions Of the company during the last
week said:
The element of good opinion Of
Salt Lake and almost eXtravagant
praise for the prospects here was
strongly prevalent Every out of
town person who looks over the
conditions in Salt Lake City ex-
presses the best of opinions.
Salt Lake people have the least
TO say about the conditions here,
They do not realize. One man that
7 know OF was converted to his
own city-Salt Lake-by visiting
others in the hope of finding q
place to buy a business. He had
been working in Salt Lake and had
saved some money and decided TO
60 somewhere else and start in
business He toured all along the
Pacific coast and finally returned to
this city.

prosperous week. The sales have been

Condition Favorable.

The southern part OF Utah we found
admira bly, well adapted 10 dry farm
ing, Four factors practically deter
mine the worth OF any district as a
dry farm area. They are. first, the
annual rainfall This is the most I'M
portant With our present methods OF
dry farming a good yield may be
expected in country where the
annual rainfall IS twelve Inches,
other conditions being favora BILE. A
second factor may be called the depth
OF the soil. deep soil is necessary
i'm dry farming. to serve as reservoir
for the rain II prevents rapid
evaporation and the loss OF water
from soil drainage is not so great.
a fertile soil is a third considera-
ton The more fertile the soil the
larger the yield with the same amount
OF water. The fourth important fac
tor is the tillage quality Of the SOIL
that Is. the ease with which ii may
be kept we'll cultivated.
Applying these four tests to condi-
tions around Kanab we found that
the annual rainfall was above four
teen inches last year. The soil Is
deep and extremely fertile, being
sandy II is red In color, derived
from the famous vermilion cliffs.
and the red fields covered with green
vegetation present beautiful ap..
pearance. The tillage properties OF
the soil are also high. Thus the
four prime conditions necessary to a
good dry farm country are well met

Rainfall Distributed.

The type OF rainfall prevailing here
is known generally as the Arizona
type, because it is the type prevail
ing generally over the state OF Ari
zona. Instead OF nearly all Of the
rain falling in the late spring and
early summer, leaving the late sum-
mer and fall exceedingly dry, the
rainfall Is we'll distributed throughout
the year. Late July and early Au-
gust have their share Of the rain.
This Is very important because It
means that such crops as corn and
potatoes. which require 4 long sea-
son to mature in, may be grown here
successfully. When one considers that
over 100000 acres OF land may be
reclaimed in southern Utah and
northern Arizona, we see that this
district may we'll become an impor-
tant corn or potato center.
The new experiment farm Is abou
three miles east OF Kanab, on a ridg
overlooking the valley, with the Buckskil
mountains in the distance. Much OF tn
land has been taken up under the Smoo
act and there are many nice farms ther
already. This year has been the dryes
season the country has known for SOM
time but where the farms have beel
properly handled the yield will be sue
ceSSlul.
