We cannot too , heartily commend the practice of ' growing cover crops in orchards and plowing it under along in September V or early October. tW n i;fy CONCERNING YOU AND BUL- LETINS. rS t r t 1 1 I - V 1-n Logan, Utah, in the County of "' Cache and! situated on a beautiful hill , that overlooks the entire valley, is ithc Experiment Station of the Ag ricultural College of Utah. We give you this information with the idea in view- of having you v:sit the place if you ever stop in Logan. You ought to do this if you arc ever up in the northern county, because you sort of have a few shares in the in stitution. The plant is not ownod by Logan , nor by Cache Coun'tyi but Is owned j largely by the State of Utah and op erated primarily for the people of Utah. There is a corps of scientists and assistants up there working out ' . agricultural problems that arc vital 1 to our State. To get a little closer I to what we want to sny, they are working for you; you arc paying their I 1 I salaries. There is an idea prevalent among one class of farmers in the State that all the men up thcic arc working for, is their salaries, but the idea is a wrong one and the men who hold it are reaching the stage where they are not taken seriously at all by the man on the other side of the fence. Sometimes they are po litely referred to as"mossbacks,"somc times more vigorous but less elegant, if possible, English is used. Of course, they draw their salaries as 11 matter of course, finding them useful in purchasing things to cat and! wear. Between salary times, however, they do work and it is a kind of work that has, up to the present, netted the State of Utah thousands of dollars. They -do work along the line of dry farming and the work they have done has -advanced desert land in Utah from $2.50 to $10.00 per ftarc. Utah has enough desert land to make the number of acres multiplied by $7.50 amount to n rather large tsurn, of money. They are working along other lines, orking for you. How many of you kpow just wlt they are doing? Tin way to find out is broad and oasy and costs one cent. Send your name to Dr. E. D. Ball, Logan, and tell him you want the bulletins from his sta tion. This may seem like unnecessary adp FOUR Farmer . Hyo'q$$$ efod. vice to a great many of the renders of this article, but we do not agree with them. The writer has inter viewed scores of Utah County fann ers the past few weeks and about one in ten gets the bulletins and about one in every tlucc is not aware that the station is a public institution and! that the bulletins can be had for the ask ing. The men up there arc working out problems that effect you vitally. They arc studying your profession. Write to Dr. Ball, read the bulletins mid get a bowing acquaintance with your everyday business. THE COLORADO INTERSTATE FAIR. The territory lying West of the Missouri River lias long boon jfcog nfzed by breeders as a profitable fiald 104 pure bred stock. They have been anxious to exhibit at, soma point in this great section where their stock could be seen and inspected by thou- sands, but until this year when the H first annual Colorado Interstate Fair and Exposition will be held in Den- var the second week in September there has been no such exhibition place. That the breeders appreciate the magnitude and the importance of this exhibition is shown by the number of requests for premium lists., and entries, being received by every mail by MY. G. C. Fuller, of Denver, acting -secretary of the fair. H The show offers a most liberal list of prizes, the amount aggregating up wards' of $25,000, half of which is di- trlbutcd in the live stock depart- ironts. They are up to dato in every way, even to issuing a catalogue of the oxhibits in the horse and cattle departments, in which entries close August is, and in all other depart monts $ot 5. Tlie poultry depatt- ment, by the way, will be remarkably large with -cash premiums of $2,420 H offered. Mr. Harry Petric, general stipcrin- H temlent, writes that the new buildings are mpidly nearing completion, and H that nil exhibits will be cared for sys- tenmtically, with every care oxer- cued for the comfort and safety of H stock.
