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

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

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. H
