S same year the farmers of the state
if owned 119,000 horses, valued at $8,-
449,000, and 3,000 mules worth an
B average price of $61 per head, or
f $183,000. These same farmers own-
i cd 79,000 cows, which furnished for
U 52 creameries, 2 condcnscrics and
K about 25 cheese factories.
13 The luxuriant bunch grass ranges
R were being grazed by 324,000 head of
i cattle and nearly three million sheep
which, together represented a value
, of $17,000,000.
The washed and unwashed wool
I clip of that year amounted to 13,-
S, 902,500 pounds and when marketed
(as scoured wool produced an income
of $1,767,715.
h To feed these immense herds of
live stock during the snowy winter
' months 355,000 acres of the fertile
valleys of the state produced 74G,
f 4 000 tons of hay worth $5,222,000 or
I at the rate of $14.71 per acre.
J Ever since the first settlers came
to Utah, fruit has been grown, and
1( with the continually increasing popu-
m lation the state is becoming one of
It the important fruit producing sect-
Mi ions of the West. Fruit has been

W. the market centers of the country
Within the last few years, however,
ft there has been a great awakening
W among the fruit growers of the state
I and there is a corresponding growth
I in the interest that is being taken
by them in the increase of the in
u dustry. Last year more than a half
0 million fruit trees were set out upon
l the well irrigated lands of the state,
1 and fruit growers of experience from
I other states are coming into Utah
jj and investing in fruit lands. New
! districts suitable for fruit productio'n
; are being opened up each year. Near
I Green River, on the eastern edge of
the state where the Denver & Rio
I Grand railroad enters Utah, is a dis
trict which gives promise of rivaling
in peach production the long famous
section at Grand Junction, Colorado.
At Price, another large area of fruit
land has just been recralmcd by irrr
gation. In the great valley of the
Bear River there arc increasing
thousands of acres of apples and
reaches, while Cache Valley Coasts

apple orchards covers 350 acres. A
