There is no question but that
these conditions, together with the
traffic at least one hundred per cent
Parry Brothers Of Cedar City, known
as the Zion National Park Company
who furnish transportation to local
scenic points, will place new cars in
service during the 1928 season and
will be prepared to accommodate the
increased number of tourists. AL
ready, this local company is in touch
with people of national prominence
who expect to visit this point during
the coming year.
The city contemplates making
many improvements. Several of the
streets will be graded and capped
with gravel. Others will be paved
with cement. The street running east
from the Branch Agricultural Col
lege will be the first to be improved.
Livestock will be fed here and
shipped directly to the markets, CIV
ing the stockman the profit from
loss he would sustain by driving
them to market. 1t will not cost a
great amount more for him to ship
cattle from Cedar City to the mar
ket than it would do from Lund to
the market. Forty thousand head
Of sheep and seven thousand head
of cattle will be prodced for mar.

A wool storage warehouse, having
capacity of two million pounds,
will be butt in Cedar City during the
coming year by J. NJ. Tayor of Salt
Lake City, and ]. c. Carpenter of
Cedar City. Contracts are being en-
tered into for the first one million
pounds of wool from Lincoln County,
Nevada, the two northern cunties
f Arizona, and Kane, Garfield WASH
ington, Iron and Beaver counties of
Utah. This development will make
it possible for this and surrounding
territory to take advantage of the
wool market.
A better market for Earm pro-
ducts will be created by the coming
of the railroad, hence we can expect
to sae great agricultural develop
ment. Eight years ago there were
four thousand acres of land in this
vicinity under cultivation. At the
present time there are twelve thous-
and acres under cultivation. This
has been made possible partly by
Irrigation and partly by scientific
methods of farming. But with the
coming of greater population more
land can be made to yield crops
which can be marketed readily. Poul-
try and dairy farms must be estab-
lished to overcome shortage of poul-
try and dairy prducts. While at
present there is, in this country, an
over-supply of potatoes, such con-
dition is not usual. Under better
market conditions the grade and kind
of potatoes which are produced here
wuM be in great demand. The po-
tatoes grown in this valley have sew
eral times taken prizes in the state
fair.
The Branch Agricultural College
is Coming into its own" For a
number Of years, in fact since its
establishment, it has made a steady
exceeded all expectations. There are
over four hundred students at the
institution. The enrolment is great
err now than ever before, exclusive
of the night students or the winter
course students. The college class
has twice as many students as it had
last year. 1t is to be expected that,
even tho the first year high school
work will be discontinued after this
year, there will be as great an en-
rollment at the B. A. C. next year
as there is now. The school is des-
tined TO become what we desire it
should be-Aa well-established college.
Ninth grade work will be given by
the district school This will make
