DAMAGE TO THE FRUIT CROP.
W f
Although there is considerable con
m flicting evidence regarding the cx
a ' tent pf the damage to the fruit crop
I - throughout the state, yet there seems
ft no rcason to doubt that the early
Y& varieties of fruit were very badly
jlf ' damaged. In the principal fruit grow-
1 ing sections the early peaches were
almost cnt'ra'y destroyed. The cher
ries and apricots also suffered sev
erely. Strawberries and arplcs were
not injured but the prospects arc that
l there is to .be a very light apple
J crop , this year. Fruit will be fruit
f this year, not only in Utah but in
all of these Western States.
; Speaking of the damage by frost to
t ' the fruit crop: the daily papers re-
fort that through the combined cf-
" - fQXts and systematic co-operation of
the fruit growers of the Grand Val
ley, the fruit crop there was saved
by Smudging. For several days the
smudge pots were kept in action and
the temperature kept above the dan
g .r point; if this is true it seems to
us to afford an excellent object les
son to Utah fruit growers.
While on this subject, we cannot
refrain fromi calling attention to the
fact that fruit growing and dairying
should go hand in hand; in case of a
damaging frost to the fruit crop the
farmer still has the dairy herd and,
in the long run it will be found that
the little herd of good dairy cows
will prove a very profitable addition
1 to any fruit farm.

YOUR PROPERTY OR YOUR
LIFE!
Which is more valuable, your lifi
N or your goods and chattels? If your
property burns up will you have
I fire insurance? Of course, but if death
I 1 ' comes without warning as it some
I times does, how about the family?
I Last year life insurance companies
I paid to widows and orphans about
1 one million dollars every working
day, and they were he widows and
orphans of just such men as you are,
just as full of life and just as full of
the hope to live on, as you arc. But
they arc dead and they don't have
to return to correct mistakes or to do
a little more for the family. Besides,
they do not show a desire to come
back, and maybe they couldn't if they
would.
It may be different with you, but
why make the family take the chance?
O'f course you may die rich, and it
may be you will not die but the odds
arc against you and I think you had
better hedge.
Cover your actual cash value with
insurance.
Let me tell you how to do it.
That's my Business.

PROF. FRENCH RESIGNS.
It is a matter of sincere rcgr,ct to
the Editor of the Dcscrct Farmer
to hear of the resignation of Prof.
French, Director of the Idaho Ex
periment Station and also of the.
Farmers' Institute work in tint
stale. (
Frof. French' went to the Universi
ty of Idaho 111 i8p8 as professor of
animal industry; a year or two later
was appointed director of the experi-
ment station. His work there has
been devoted to the building up of
the agricultural school. When he
took the professorship at the Idaho
institution there were but two build
ings and no professors employed ex
clusively at the station. Today there
arc eight men employed exclusively
in the experiment station work.
Professor French has kept in close
touch with the progress of agricult
ural teaching throughout the coun
try. In the National Association of
Agricultural Colleges he has been u
member of the committee on meth
ods of teaching agriculture ever since
the organization of the committee in
1895. This committee has paid spec
ial attention to extension work in
connection with agricultural colleges,
farmers' institutes, and the rural
schools. He is also an enthusiast
with reference to the teaching of do
mestic science, and that excellent de
partment in the University of Idaho
is very largoly due to his untiring
efforts in its behalf.

FARM PRODUCTS OF UTAH.
(Continued fromi page 3.)
j'icturcsquc scene is presented in
Utah Valley through which the Den
ver & Rio Grande trains pass on
their" way to Salt Lake City. Hen:
the traveler from the East gets his
first glimpse of the magnificant or
chards of the state. Seven thousand
acres of apple, peach and prune or
chards spread out before this view.
Four thousand of '(these acres arc in
bearing and the past summer pro
duced 250 car loads of peaches, 73
cars of pears and prunes, and 'bout
no cars of apples for the market
of the East.
Strawberries, raspberries, blackber
ries, currants, gooseberries, grow ev
erywhere in the state, and are rapid
ly converting the soil, and sunshine
and irrigation waters into substantial
bank accounts.
The laws of Utah are favorable to
the fruit growers industry. The
spraying of fruit trees and vines for
the destruction of fungous in insect
pests is made compulsory. The fut
ure gives promise of large returns
fromi fruit growing, and with the
awakening now at hand Utah will
soon be the leader of the fruit pro
ducing happy, healthy wealthy West.
