INTENSIVE FARMING SHOULD BE THE
RULE HERE IN EASTERN UTAH.

The Sun desires TO say to the farmers of East
ern Utah that no feature of present day educa-
ton is more potent for good to this country than
that now beng accomplished by the various ag-
ricultural schools and experimental stations and
farms. Twenty years ago the book farmer
was looked upon as visionary by a large per-
centage of our farming population, and is even
yet so regarded by some, though happily their
number is small Now the man who intelligently
studies his soil with view to determining its
needs is coming to the front as an authority on
matters agricultural. And the reason this Is so
is because his theories have brought forth fruit
in fact.
Nothing is more certain than that this coun-
try is woefully behind in farming efficiency. For
years our farming experts have been pointing
out TO us the fact that our lands are not pro-
ducing half--not even third-of the crops
that bountiful nature intended they should yield.
One has only to cite the case of Germany to see
the full force of this statement. Germany is not
as large as the state of Texas, yet Germany to-
day is supplying her civil population and her
vast armies almost entirely from the products
of her own soil. But Germany and other old
world countries have for years practced inten
sve farming, a system that is only lust begin
ming to prevail in this country.
Instead Of being merely an experiment, in
tensve farming should be the rule Nothing
more fully demonstrates the truth Of this state.
ment than glance at the results obtained by
the many corn clubs Of the United States. From
all directions come reports from these organiza-
TONS where the enormous yield of two hundred
bushels and more per acre has been attained.
Not only this, but the reports coming from all
sections of the country are proof that almost
any Of our soil Is susceptible 10 such improve
ment. Then there is another important feature
to these big corn yields. II has been shown that
they can be produced at substantial profit over
and above the cost of preparing the land for
their production. Careful records have been
Eafaf nf oil In, ult
instance the proceeds have much more than
paid the cost of bringing the soil TO its present
state of fertility.
If these results can be obtained from an acre
or two or three, why not from ten or fifty or
hundred acres? If they can be obtained from a
patch, why not from field? Why not from all
fields? The deplorable truth is that too many
Of our farmers are necessity" farmers. They
ask themselves, How much do | need7" and
then proceed TO satisfy that need and no more
They should rather ask. How Wuch can get ?"
and then get all they can.
II has been estimated that America could feed
the world If all her soil were mpde to produce 20
its full capacity. What that capacity is, We are
only Just beginning 10 discover.

LOCAL LAND VALUES REGULATED BY
THE ELEMENTS OF CIVILIZATION.

How do we determine what a thing Is worth
Take land, for instance. Land values here in
Eastern Utah represent what folks will pay
whenever there is any for sale Originally the
land was worth next 10 nothing but with the
concentration of settlers the founding Of settle
ments, the growth into villages and towns, the
land became worth" more because people
thought the presence Of others and the advan-
tages incident 10 community relations and the
creation Of markets enhanced the desirabty Of
owning the land.
At the time the Indians owned this land IL
could have produced Just as much per acre as
today, but civilization did not exist on the land
and consequently IL wasn't worth much. Then
who creates value? Is IL the man-himself-on
the land, or the cooperation of the forces about
him? The latter. of course And everything
that tends TO uplift civilization and society adds
to the value of everything else in it-incuding
land
The time when Main street was part of
tractless waste, land in Price was practically
valueless because the civilization of today was
lacking. And the greater the elements of civili-
zation-people, markets, the necessities of life
are concentrated in this vicinity, the greater
will become the value of the land-or what IL is
worth" when people buy and sell II.

There are indeed too many places 10 90 to

THAT DANGEROUS LIE.

A lie is always the cause of trouble
and oftimes brings about serious re-
suits. Misrepresentation on the part
of husband or wife will sooner or
later cause a breach in their domes-
tic relations. Many men, whose
fraternal emblems signify that they
are ION the square" and they will
defend the truth" will conspire to
pull a crooked deal and protect lie,
especially when a woman is the vic
tim. A woman should know some
thing about her husbands affairs, and
her motives cannot be considered en-
tirely selfish or mercenary. A court
of domestic relations Is needed and
will probably be authorized at this
session of the legislature. A real
adjustment will do much to prevent
family quarrel or murder.

Easter Egg Game.

When your friends come to play with
you during the Easter holidays select
q leader. The leader stands in the Gen.
ter of circle. Each player holds out
his hands, palms upward, and upon
each Of them the leader places an Eas-
ter egg. The leader then goes around
the circle, catching up the eggs in turn
and trying to strike them upon the
hands that hold them.
Each one tries to withdraw his hands
before they are struck. The same lead
er continues until he is able to strike
some ones hands, whereupon the VIC
tim must take his place. II ones
hands are withdrawn and the egg falls
to the ground because Of feint on the
part of the leader 1t Is as If his hands
received the blow. At the end Of the
game the eggs can be eaten.

should attend every affair, whether

informed. Many exchanges clip from

IT no time except at Christmas
is the world so happy as at
Easter. The universal Oh
servance of these two festi-
walls is q witness to the vitality and
power Of the truths for which they
stand The Christmas truth is that
God has revealed himself in human
life; Easter expresses our assurance
of Immortality.
These truths in combination and the
consequences that follow from their
acceptance may be said to equal the
sum total of human happiness. Ban
ish brotherhood and the result is So
cial chaos. Conceive of death as the
end-an and we are Of all creatures tho
most miserable.
It is true that here and there brave
man marches breast forward, doubling
whether, after all, there is here
after, yet grimly determined to play
at all hazards a noble part All honor
to him, but his philosophy will not
suffice for the rest Of us.
IF the dead rise not" most Of us
will say, '1et us eat and drink, for to-
morrow we die" We crave certainty
as to the future, and nothing but such
a certainty can influence our present
conduct. In the search for certainty
some Of us are able to find in the
voice of authority the assurance that
we need.
Some Of US can hope so intensely for
immortality that we give substance to
the thing we hope for, and this be-
comes our faith. Others Of US, how
ever, cannot believe merely because
we are hidden to believe or because
we wish to do so. We are eager of as.
surance, but to be satisfying it must
be a reasonable assurance.

As they drew near to the lily senti-

raised her eyes, dark with pain, to the
open doorway, and quick wonder light
ed their depths, and she turned, whis.
pering: "Ah! Mary Magdalene, the
stone already is rolled away. He hath
done this thing"
With eager steps they left the grow
ing day and entered the darkened sep
ulcher. But as they went they saw
two angels seated at the tomb, two
men with strong, glorifled faces and
glad, bright eyes, and their robes were
bright as If the sunlight were shining
through. The two Marys paused, star.
tied, awed by the great light.
Then the mother of Christ knelt low
and wept, but voice thrillingly ten
der called to her saying, woman, why
weepest thou?"
And she lifted her eyes at the words
and answered softly, Because they
have taken away my Lord, and know
not where they have laid him"
But the voice came again, glad and
full of rejoicing: Fear not We, for
know that ye seek Jesus, which was
crucified. He is not here, for he Is

Wondering, the mother gazed, her
starry eyes searching the frightened
sepulcher. Then she rose and walked
with Mary Magdalene from the place.

sunlight, her gray robes brushed
against the uplifted flowers, dew
fiecked, wondrous sweet. STOPPING. she
