has called a convention Of the chair.
man OF the county councils Of de-
tense to meet In Salt Lake City. on
January 16, in the Hall Of Repre-
at the Capitol. This gath
ering, which President Peterson de-
clares will be Of utmost importance.
will discuss in detail all problems
concerning an increase in production
and greater conservation as they af-
feet this State. The most careful at
tention will be given to the labor
problem which all agree will be acute
during the coming season. The ques-
ton of seed distribution will be dis
cussed and question of agricultural
markets will be gone into. Unusual
efforts will be made to devise ways
and means to increase our meat out
put as well as to secure an increase
In wheat and sugar beets. Above all
else, plan for the coordination
Of all districts Of the State will be
developed which should aid greatly
In q wise organization Of our sgri-
culture.
In commenting upon the probable
increase in the meat industry that
the coming season will see. Profess.
or John r. Caine. III. Director Of the
Extension Division Of the Utah Agri-
cultural College. summed up the
situation as follows;
I'VE can not look for big In
crease In the number Of beef cattle
this year. especially not II the pro-
posed $40 acre homestead bill be-
comes law. However. the quality
Of our beef animals Is increasing.
and Utah will undoubtedly produce
more pounds of beef than In the past.
Dairy cattle will increase. due in part
to the present high price paid for
butter fat. II is likely that the loss
in numbers Of 1855 will be more
than made up. Sheep will remain
about normal but. unless the weather
IL severe at Landing time. an In
crease In the production Of mutton
will occur. Because OF the mild win.
ter. range sheep are producing more
wool aud an increase In our wool
production may be looked for. A
gratifying feature Of the sheep stu
alton Is the increase of the small
herd on the farm. Sheep make excel
lent scavangers about the farm and
few farms that cannot support few
head at least largely on the feed
along the ditch banks. and in the
corners of the fields.

and an appreciable increase can he
expected in the number Of hogs.
Utah dropped from 10000 hogs in
1915 to 10000 in 1918. We ca
pect to more than make good this
loss.
While startling increases cannot
be made in the livestock industry,
the amount produced can be mace
to 60 much farther If the average
citizen will eat less meat. which he
can do to his own better health and
use meat substitutes. The home
poultry flock can also aid In the sit
uation. Thousands OF town and city
homes can keep a few chickens,
largely on refuse now burned or
carted off by the garbage man. This
would release thousands of pounds
of pork and beef for export pur-
poses. The meat situation is very
serious and demands our careful at
tention. We must all aid in every
way possible to increase our export
able surplus"
An increase In wheat production
this coming year Is looked for by
DR.. Frank 8. Harris. Director Of the
Experiment Station Of the utsh Az
ricultural College. due to an lncreas-
cd acreage. The yield per acre Is
not apt to be above normal. ho"eV'
or, because. while much acreage will
produce big returns. some Of the
fall wheat planted has failed to ger

acreage and yield Of beets is looked
for by DR.. Harris.

coming season are encouraging" said
DR.. Harris In commenting upon the
crop conditions. while there are
some discouraging features. such -
