No state In the union nan been more rlfhlr endowed In Its splendid and manifold resources than the stst of rtah. It mines, literally Inexhaustible treasuries of gold, silver, copper and other metals.

In splta of the production of neafly $33, 000., 000 of our mineral reaourcea wa may sav that In future our agricultural and horticultural Interests will be so much greater than our mining interests that the latter, great aa It Is, will be very smau In comparison. Cache Valley's Hlchee, Cache Va.ley, on the north, with Ita quarter of a hundred thrifty towns of In innatrlous rltliens. nearly all rr nhnm own their own homea and cultl vate their own farms ha an area of 1.10 aquare miles; Its population Is S6.000; Its assessed valuation, $8.&9,O0O. According to J. C. Hodgenson, agronomist, of the agricultural college, Cacha Valley, with inO.OOO acres of dry farm wheat, producea an average of thirty bushels to the acre, while Ita banner en pa yield aa high aa sixty-two and one-l.alf bushels to the acre. Hen, ua iverywhire In lT n, ara raised threa crops of alfalfa, from WO to 600 bush els of oiato-s and twenty-five tone of sugar beets, Its orchards not uncommonly yield in from 400 to 600 bushels of apples per acre. Yet Cache Valley Is by no means equal aa a fruit district, the other portions of Utah further south. ' Only a few yeara ago a large portion of the splendid lands now under cultiva tion in this i alley were sold by the state of Utah- at from $1 to $2.60 per acre, or taken by -the llirlfty American cltlsen as a homestead entry, from tha bounteous hand of-our national government. Today countless farms are paying net Interest of 10 per cent on an Investment of from H to $2,000 per acre. This Is only representative of the condi tion, mora or less. In every county la Utah. Weber county, with the Junction city of Ogden as its principal city, Is large enough and rich enough, with natural re sources sufficient to make' It almost an In dependent empire. With a present popula tion of 38,000 remarkably energetic, In dustrlous and thrifty people, Weber county could easily support many time Ita pres cut population. Only , w years ago aoma of the lands which today are valued at 1,00 and 12,000 per acre were covered with sagebrush, scrub oak, or other native shrubs, and were considered of UUle value until tba wis hand of Industry ahowed what might be done In fruit culture on the rich fertile soils along the base of our mountain ranges. Halt Lake tltr'a Prestige. Salt Lake City occupies a still more im portant position in the great basin. Look Ing down from the west upon the beautiful valley which It occupies with 100,000 people, are the mines, mills and smelters of Bmg lim, tha greatest copper camp in the world; to the east of It is Park City, with a valuation of 1100,000.000; farther, to the south, is the camp of Tlntlo. with a valu atlon no less than Park City; it is sur rounded by the mines of a hundred moun tains which look to It as the smelting and milling- center; the products of 4o,000,u00 acres of tillable land pay tribute to it and tha nerds of a thousand hills. Not between the Pacific coast and the Missouri river Is there a city which commands a position so Important; not between the savage painted landscapes of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and the borders of Canada Is there a possible rival; so commanding Is Its position as a mining, manufacturing and agricultural center that la is inevitably marked as a city of deatln. 1'roinu from I'leswr Days In the early days of Utah's hlittory, her handful of hardy pioneers settled In small villages along the mountain streams.

Not until It had sent Its lusty children Into Mexico. Canada. Idaho and Colorado In search of homes; not until for a quarter of a century a few of Its progressive and wise hands had grown rich upon farms which could not be reached by the Irrigation ditch; not until Its northern neighbor, Idaho, had demon strated a hundred times what profit and what Inspiration could be drawn from the cultivation of vast areas with the gas and steam tractor; not until, within our own state, a score of progressive men had pla'ed magnificent tracts of sage-brush land under cultivation with horse and ma chine power, drawing down enormous prof its; not until a panic came to rouse us out of our lethargy, did the business men of dur state begin fully to appreciate that our agricultural wealth should represent to us an Income of a half billion dollars a year, outweighing by twenty fold all the aggregated wealth of all our other in dustries. Attractions of tba State. This brings us to the mention of some other counties besides Cache, Weber and "alt Lake. There are twenty-seven coun ties In Utah, all of which bold out the best of opportunltlea. Boxelder and Morgan are unexcelled as fruit and farming districts. Toole county, with a precipitation second to no other county, has a future beyond our present calculation, not only as a farm ing and fruit raising section, but for the splendid smelting and mining developments which are coming, and shall come, to It. Utah county, with a population of 37. M:, with an area of 2,342 square miles, the pres ent seat of one of our greatest national Irrigation projects, the Strawberry Valley Irrigation canal, which will cover 60.000 acres of land unsurpassed In the world, Is a district especially adapted for fruit cul ture, sugar- beets, alfalfa and gardening projects. Davis county has a population of 10,191 and Is the garden spot of the state, and the fruit, gardening and canning center. Millard county, with a population of 6.118 and an area of 6.774 square miles, whose principal town is Fillmore, the first capi tal of Utah, holds out unrivalled opportu nities for farming, hog, sheep- and cattle raising. Eastern Millard county alone, hav Ing 2M.000 acres of sage-brush land, which at one time was a waving field of blue grass, wild flax and thistles, with soil deep, rich and prolific as any In the world, can sup port a population of 100,000 people. Hair of this magnificent area within a year or two will be provided with water from the greatest river of the Great Basin, the Sevier.

IN CONTROL OF VAST COUNTRY l.inil hoir, Western Mis Holds, Marks the Beginning of n Km for This City and the Fertile West. SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. Jan. K -(Special Correspondence to The Omaha Bee.) "I believe the Western Land Products ex hibit Is the heginn'ng of a new era In western development. The fnt that Omaha Is the gateway of the Intermoun.ain west, and therefore to a vast stretch of un developed country, territory which has greater potentialities thsn any similar area In this country, gives to that city peculiar and extraordinary advantages which will enable It to control the development of all this great section." This Is .the opinion of Oscar L. Cox, general manager of the Spalding Livings ton Investments company of this city. Mr. Cox. not yet 85 years of age, hi an Indiana boy. born at Baker's Corners, and raised on a Texas ranch, 300 miles west of Fort Worth. During his boyhood and young manhood Mr. Cox has seen and noted the tremendous development of the west, a development which has made men wealthy! In many Instances in spite of themselves. The western millionaire Is not always a man of great acumen, sagacity, shrewd ness and foresight. The men who make the winning in the west are men of average Intelligence, fellows who are Industrious, careful, frugal and who know enough to hold onto what they get.

The fact that Colorado was Inevita bly connected with Nebraska and Omaha was brought out In force by the various speakers of the day, Mayor Dahiman speaking for Omaha and welcoming the delegates to the city. "The Omaha Land Show In its object to interest people in taking up land has opened the way to real development and business progress." said H. II. Baldrlge. "The garden spot of the World could raise nothing without cultivation and the Joint Interests of Omaha and Colorado should bring them together .with this object." C. C. Ilosewater followed Mr. Ualdrlge. congratulating the Colorado exhibitors and the state on the showing the state products were 'making at the show. "People have asked me If the Land Show proportions In manufacturing to which the state Justly aspires, yet she has been grad ually Increasing her output of manufac tured products for twenty years. The Importance of Utah canning Indus try may be somewhat realised when we state that her tomato output last year was 600.000 cases or 12.OU0.000 cans. Her output of fruits, peas, asparagus and tomatoes, aggregated 800,000 rases, the approximate worth being $1, 600,000, giving employment to 1,800 people, the total annual outlay for wages amounting to $:'j0.000 and $100,000 Is paid to farmers for fruits and vegetables This says nothing of the employment of boys and girls out of school season In the open fields weeding, picking and handling the products of the soli. 1 nllmlted Opportunities.

In fact, so manifold are the resources of Utah In the mining, manufacturing, horti cultural and stockralslng way that we can only touch lightly upon them at best. Last of all. Utah is the land of opportunities. She has twenty million acres of land wait ing to do its work for the good of human ity. We invite tha worthy cltlxen, our American brother, wherever he may be, to come and build a homa within our empire. We are a home-loving people. Wo love In telligence, patriotism, art and learning.

In! s" Francisco aa the logical place for Cot an F.sreptlon. Mr. Cox Is an exception. Born of Quaker parents and raised among the hardship of the frontier, he finds - himself at 34 years of age the general manager of one of the largest and Wealthiest land com panies of the west. "Utah has made a great many men very wealthy. Its extraordinary wealth of un developed resources, the unusual fertility of its soil, and the constant proximity of close cash markets, makes the life of the farmer not merely pleasant, but one of assured and certain income. This has al ways beeji true of Utah. Mining camps are scattered In the hills, and these camps prove a constant cash markst for almost every pound of produce that Is raised on the farm lands of the valleys. It la not unusual to find growers of alfalfa seed reaping crops valued at 150 to 1125 per acre. Wheat growers reap crops valued at 126 to $46 per acre; oats will do as well. Hay will bring from (24 to US per acre, and apples, when the trees are In full bearing, will yield from $200 to $ per acre. Garden truck, potatoes and tomatoes, will yield all the way from $l.rfl to $300 per acre." Opportunity Is Great. It Is not difficult to see that with sol) yielding crops such as thrse the oppoitunlty confronting the farmer in Utah is one very much unlike that to be found in any other section of the United States. "Herein, too, may be found the reasons for the prices of land which rule through out the Intermountaln west. Farmers who have such assured Incomes with close cash markets Immediately at hand find no trouble disposing of their farms at almost any reasonable price they wish to ask for them. "The midwest farmer of Industrious, thrifty habits, a farmer who knows his business can purchase a quarter section Of raw land In Utah, bring it to that high state of cultivation which Is characteristic of Iowa, KansaB, Nebraska and Missouri and sell it easily and quickly for $160 per acre. Orchard lands will bring a high price In the first Instance, but one planted to trees carefully cultivated and brought to a high degree of production It Is not at all unusual to have such land In such a state "of production sell for $1,200 to $1,600 per acre. Place for Young; Men. "It Is for these reasons that Utah today offers the most splendid opportunity for the young man of the middle west, the Investor or the capitalist of the oldest settled states. and not only these men do very much bet ter here, but a great many of them are doing better. "The most tremendous proof of this is the fact that never does the Iowa man who haa settled in the Inter-mountain west return to his native state. "Utah has 22,o00,0u0 acres of available land, that is to say, available for a high state of cultivation, and of this fewer than $,000,000 acres are under cultivation. Utah has been almost forgotten by that stream of immigration which has flowed over this state on through Idaho and the states of the Pacific coast. We note how land values have Increased in Idaho and we have recently taken census figures for the increase In land values In Washing ton or Oregon, these increases In some in stances being so stupendous as the rais ing in value of $26 and $00 per acre lands to $3,000 per acre. This Is especially true of the' orchard lands of Wenatchee. Hood River and the White Salmon valley and Rogue River valley. "These Instances will be duplicated many and many times over In the development of Utah. The aoll of the Gunnison valley of Utah, one of the most beautiful valleys of the west, Is aa rich and prolific and compares most favorably when subjected to chemical analysis, with - that of any other soil of the west. Owns Many Acres. "Our company owns 6.000 acres of land In the Gunnison Valley, and of this we are now farming 4.000 acres. Some of this we have planted to orchard and some of H we have in 2 year-old trees. All of this land ha been selllnit most rapidly, as we find our bent buyer.-. IhoHe of rait Iake City and other counties of l'tah, who know the value of Utah land and the possible facili ties of yield and production. In time we will participate In the same immigration movenunt tli.'t has caused the wonderful Increase In pulution in the states of the went. Our lanils will Increase more rapidly in va'.ne and those purchasers of land w ho buy now are certain to reap not only the unus'ial leld of crops, but the extraordi nary profit In ir. flatlon of value which will certainly oci ur tin soon as these resources to other western states, Colorado for In stance," he declared. "I am nut a bit worried about that fox there will al ways be plenty to take charge of the farms left, as there Is a constant stream of people always flowing from the east to the west, and every citizen placed upon a farm In Colorado Is a benefit to the people In Omaha. "One of the objects of our show is to stem the flow of Immigration from the east and from here to Canada, Florida and Texas, and to turn it In the direction of the western states. Our problem Is not to Increase our population but to Increase our production. Colorado's Interests are in the Missouri river valley and this will re flect to Omaha, so you see we con af ford to let our population emigrate to your state. "Omaha does a large business with Col orado and wan?s the bonds to become closer so that the two states can do even more In the future." Samuel Shearer of the State Board of Immigration of Colorado replied to Mr. Rosewater'a talk. "I hav been to all the big land exhi bitions of this year and many of former years, but I must admit that for actual force directed at the point wanted and for actual results to Colorado and the west, Omaha Is the cream of them all." He was followed with more compliments for the Omaha Land 8how by Professor VV. G. Brandenburg, who declared that the state of Colorado could stand thousands and thousands of settlers. George W. Cody, state engineer of pub 113 highways, brought a message from Gov ernor Kberhardt of Minnesota, congratu lating Omaha on the Land Hhow and de claring that Minnesota stood ready to help in all ways in any western development. W. 8. Pershing, mayor of Llmon, Colo., declared that he had attended shows at Pittsburg, Chicago and St. Louis, and that the Omaha show, was bringing more people directly, to .the west than any of the other shows. Other short talks were made by Morris Connolly of Dubuque, la., and by L. W. Buckley of tba Omaha Land Show. Its possibilities unlimited.

Wti cat Per". Acre BIb Crops Come Biennially. " Albert E. King la at the Land show tell ing visitors how they may raise from thirty to fifty bushela of wheat to the acre in the unlrrlgated parts of western Kansas and eastern Colorado. He la enthusiastic about the possibilities for profitable farm ing in that section. He has spent seven years in that locality and is well qualified to speak of the re sources and opportunltlea that are open to ' progressive farmers. The rainfall Is from 18 Inches per annum In eastern Colorado to about 2B Inches in parts of western Kan sas. The farmer who locates there must first make up his mind to learn from his mora progressive neighbor how to get tha best results from his land. "The Payne brothers, who live five miles northwest of McDonald, In Rawlins county, Kansas, have discovered the secret. They located there five years ago, but have been successful In raising from thirty-five to fifty bushels of wheat every other year since. One of the brothers has raised three crops of wheat In five years, no one of which has run less than thirty-seven bushels of wheat per acre. His methods are the same aa used by many others In that part of the country. After his crop of wheat haa been har vested, he plows up the land Imme diately, and later In the fall he goes In with a lister and Hats deep furrows, throwing up ridges on both sides. The action of the frosts during winter Is beneficial and the furrows or troughs prevent the moisture that comes during the winter from running off. "He splits the ridges In the spring and cultivates during the summer after every rainfall. This not only prevents the growth of weeds, but also conserves the moisture that falls on the ground. When seed time comes in the fall he has a seed bed In the beat of tilth and well stored up with moisture. It does not take long for tha wheat to sprcut and get a good start before winter comes on. Where this plan has been tried it has proven an absolute success. ' "Home of our eastern friends object to this style of farming, claiming that they lost the use of their land every other year. If theae ob..cc:ors will only stop to con sider that the average production of wheat lu Kansas is only about fifteen bushels per acre and in Nebraska only about eighteen bushels per acre, they will readily see that It pay to do the necessary work for two y-ars If a crop of thirty-five to fifty btinh els of v. heat ran t e produced. It Is not necessary to go Into the questions of econ omy and savins of labor which can be readily seen "While western Kansas is not a corn producing country, yet a great deal of good corn la produced there. Twenty-five bush- While orchards are growing a good profit may be realized from the growing of to matoes and other crops between the trees until the fruit trees are ready to bear. We are never short of market for fruit and contractors purchase the output as a mat ter of preference while yet on the trees. The tomato crop may be sold to con tractors and price agreed upon before planting, which furnishes security to the producer for output. Nursery Business Grows. Utah Is today producing as fine nursery stock as Is raised anywhere In the United States. The climate and soils, which are so favorable to the production of fine fruit, are also well adapted to the raising of nursery stock. The state nurseries are remarkably free from Insect pests and diseases, and the nurserymen are produc ing a high grade of stock. No industry was ever established In Utah which has done more to build up the agricultural wealth than fha heer I sugar Industry. It has not only given the farmers a profitable crop to raise, but has provided labor for every member of the farming community at good wages, with a result that the home surroundings have been improved, mortgages have been paid off, and other farm crops have been made more profitable by reason of the acre age being replaced by sugar beets. The folowing Is the sugar record for 1H00: Total acres planted, 31.7K7. Total tonnage ttons of beets. 439.000. Average yield per acre. In tons, U.8. Total capital invested, $:t.000,ui0.

Beet Pulp n Factor. The beet pulp, which is a by-product of the' sugar factory, 'has become a factor In live stock industry, and already large quantities of it are being profitably fed to live stock. ' " With the vast quantity of coal and ore being produced,' It Is not surprising that Utfch has become a great smelting and ore milling state. Salt Lake valley Is to day one of the greatest smelting centers In the woHld. There are four smelters In the vicinity of Salt Lake; the American Smelting A Refining company, the United states Bmelter and Utah Consolidated Smelter at Murray, Just south of Salt Lake. and the American Smelting & Refining company smelter at Garland, a new town Just west of Salt Iake. The last named has a dally capacity of 6,000 tons. In ad dition to these there Is a smelter near Ogden, the Yampa at Bingham, Knight's smelter at Tlntlc, 4nd one at Newhouse, In. Beaver county. When completed, the great International Smelter near Tooele City will be one of the largest smelters In the world. New Garfield, the Utah Copper company and the Bingham Consolidated Mining com pany have each recently erected Immense concentrating plants with an aggregate dally capacity of 12,000 tons. The Coal and Coke. Utah has other things In a mining way to mention. Development work on her coal fields shows them to cover an enormous area, perhaps 20.000 square miles. It Is es timated that there are l&M.TS.OOO.OnO tons of coal yet to be mined. There Is a great deal of country yet unexplored. So plenti ful and easily accessible Is the coal tnat the farmers in many parts nf the state are able to get their supply directly from adja cent mountains, mining It for themselves, or they can buy It for little more than the cost of mining and hauling. Nowhere In the world Is Hall mure preva lent than In Utah. Great Sole lake, which covers about 2.500 fcquare miles, Is nothing more than a huge reservoir of salt. The waters of ttia body contain from 17 per cent to 20 per cent salt. On the eaHt bor der of the lake are . extensive salt fields where t lie lake water Is evaporated and salt collected and refined. The output for 11HJ9 amounted to about $173,77ti. UTAH AS HAPPY HOME STATE It ii Bleied with Many of Nature t Lavish Gifts.

Wool growing Is one of the most Im portant Industries of the beehive state. Our growers have developed their breeds to the highest state. Ramboutllet and Merinos are the prevailing range types. The Cottswool, Lincoln and the Shrop shire are used on the farms. Our range mutton bring the sheep man the second harvest after the wool season Is over. The growing of early spring Iambs Is be coming an adjunct of every well-developed farm. In the alfalfa seed districts the crop of lands Is the first in order each year. The seed ground Is pastured by ewes and young lambs to about May 10. After the alfalfa seed is harvested In the latter part of August the fields are again pastured by sheep. The fields are bet tered by such pasturing. Weeds and other detrimental agencies" are by this means forestalled and the lands are fertilized. We fatten on mutton" With alfalfa, 'barley, oats, peas and. sugar beets. Peas and sugar beets, : with alfalfa, bring-" exceptionally good tesults and cheapert feeding wander- fully. '. - . - - Few Hoar Diseases. The opportunities' of hog' raising In Utah are Just beinfc realized. Freedom from the diseases and troubles ' attending the in dustry, rn humid regions his' been fully demonstrated. Otir farmers have proven that the hog .flourishes as well upon al falfa as do sheep, cattle and horses. The hog develops a rapid growth on alfalfa pasturage. Breeders are maintained in fine growing condition on alfalfa hay. Our fattening Is accomplished most cheaply and satisfactorily by the feeding of al falfa, sugar beets, barley or peas. No line of agriculture offers greater opportunity In Utah than hojr raising. Utah Imports $4,000,000 In pork annually. Our new farm ers frcm Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska have only to produce the hogs and this $4,000,000 Is theirs. We are at the Land Show hunt ing good farmers to help Utah hold this money. As with the hog industry dairying Is also just beginning. Until the lust few years our milch cows were merely selections from our range cattle. Now the state boasts of many good foundation herds of registered Jerseya, Ilolstelns, Guernseys, Ayrshire and other dairy breeds. As with our live stock interests, alfalfa furnishes the foun dation of dairying. We have hut 85,000 cows .In Utah.- Our demand for dairy pro duce exceeds our supply. Utah dairy pro ducts bring our dairymen $2,000,000 annually, l'tah consumes approximately $3,000,000 of dairy products annually, therefore we will give $1,000,000 annually to new Utah farm ers, who will engage In dairying. Utah will also pay an additional $1,000,000 to any new farmers who will engage In the poultry business. We are now sending that amount away for poultry and eggs. We want some good poultrymcn to come to Utah and get this $1,000,000. Conditions for poultry raising are ideal. Chickens, ducks, geese end turkeys are grown with prime success, yet not In quantities sufficient to suppl the demands of our non-agricultural population. l,lvfHEOM FOR tOLUHAIMI MEN lime, or course, tnese uruaa areas weie;- - ...... , , ,,, .d .v,v .ml then T.inEta nnc iwii i'iuiwiiy i ' , r I ne inieill- I ..stored with sheep and cattle.
