but tho downpour for thirty hours
had swelled tho streams to tho max

fall. Although two feet bolow high

have left tho city without wntor or

which woro violently threatened for
ten hours, would have wrought
havoc by destroying tho Irrigation

DRV FMIHMII PARK
Important Industry Coining to tlio
Front Nnir Price
An Industry which means much
for this town Is being developed
less than twenty miles from Price.
It is tho raising of winter wheat
nnd from tho results alroady ob
talnod thoro sccma to bo llttlo ques
tion but that within tho next year
and thQ yoars following thousands
of acres will bo put under cultiva
tion. Tho first exporlmont in this di
rection wan attempted last yoar on
a small acroago on tho Whltmoro
ranch, near tho top of Boldlor can
yon, nbout olghtoon mllo from
Prlco. Many varlotlos of whoat,
both fall and spring sowing, woro
tried out. It was demonstrated be
yond a question of a doubt that tho
famous Turkey Hod whoat vaa a
complete success. This in faco of
ono of tho driest summers in ho
history of tho Boldlor soctlon proves
conclusively that in this portion of
Carbon county, which Is contrlbu
tary to Prlco, tho raising of winter
whoat, tho finest known to tho mil
ler, will in the noxt fow years bo
comq an important Industrial factor.
Tlio experiment work has beon
undor tho managemont of Juno
Whltmoro, son of J. M. Whltmoro,
and ho has given his undivided at
tention to tho details of thu experi
ment. Last year In his trial of Doth
fall and spring varieties, ho was
more successful with Turkoy lod
than any othor kind. On a slx-acro
tract of this varloty tho yield was
excoltont. Lost fall ho Boeded down
In tho neighborhood of thirty acres
and from tho present look of tho
growing whoat thoro Is ovory ovi
doncn that a bumper crop will bq
produced this yoar. Tho rains of
