AgrOnomiSt Is Heard.

Dr. Frank :. Harris, asronomist at thc
Agricultural college, made one of The
opening addresses or the roundup Uc
devoted his first talk TO statistics oi
yields. acreage and production OF crops
in Utah. Among the most Interesting
Of his nota ations were the following;
The state OF Utah comprises 2.76
per cent OF the total area OF tho
United States. and there are but ten
states larger Its improved land.
however is only 20 per cent OF the
improved land OF the country
Utah is one fourth larger than all
OF the New England states put to-
Gether. IL is larger than Illinois,
Wisconsin. Michigan or Iowa. and
has a greater area than Indiana and
Ohio taken together. II is about
onc-thlrd the Size oil Texas and one
half the size OF California San Juan
. county alone is larger than New Jer-
scy. and seven times as large as
Rhode Island
Notwithstanding the large surface
covered by tho state, its actual pro-
dUClnS area Is CoDPa ratively small.
OF IT'S 52.59T,T $50 acres OF land, only
l,36S.22l acres. OF about % per cent.
are under cultivation. About 75 per
cent of the land cultivated in the
state Is irrigated. but that being re-
claimed by dryfar methods is in
creasing very rapidly, In 1910 there
were 2I,676 farms I'm the state, over
10 000 OF which were irrigated The
irrigated farms are not nearly as
large IS the dry farms.
