(Special Correspond ence.) a million mountain trout for Ogiwn table within the next twelve months. Fair to look upon and so toothsome that one thinks that nothing can dual, let alone excel!, them for flavor. Ho graceful do they appear as they leap above the surface f the pool, thulr fi1 shining tn the sun tght, the drops of water scattered about Hke pearls, that they tempt one to use the tabooed description and call them speck . ips. We will not do so, and yet one who visits the hatcheries of the Ogden Valley Resort and Trout company near Huntsvllle, Utah, will .feel that any kind of phrase will be Justified f'.r use In de scribing the flHh which are raised there. Ogden Is Just at the foot of the western alope of the Wasatch mountains and trout brooks flow from their sldea filled with fish. One passing up any of the canons 'will find fishers busy with rod and line, casting tha fly and landing the fish. But these do not supply the demand for trout and the Ogden Valley company has a plant 'In full operation where they supply the fresh mountain trout to those who wish to purchase them for the table. In the hatchery there are 200,000 baby trout now Just three weeks old. while In the pools are over 700.000 more. The larger trout are of all ages, sonio three months, some six, some a year and some a year and a half. Those which ore a year old or more are ready for the market and they sell at from ten to twenty cents each, de pending not on the number purchased, but upon the site of the fish purchased.

A single crop from a single tree bringing the price of an acre of high priced eastern land sounds like a tale from fairyland and yet such yields are not exceptional In the Irrigated orchards of northern Utah. Last year the crop from the tree shown above weighed 1.180 pounds,, and sold to the packers for 8 cents per pound. This Pho,to. by W. O. Paisley. brought the gum of IM.40 to W. F. Garrison of Roy, Utuh. who had seven acres In fruit, which brought him the sum of $3,300. This year -nearly all of the fifteen-acre tract which he owns, and which Is known as the Sunny Side Orchard, will reach the bearing age. In lWSt his five acres of apple trees yielded 2,000 bushels of selected fruit. The fish are fed on ground meat and when a customer visits the hatcheries they are fed, so that he may select the variety of fish he wishes to take home for dinner.

If you are coming to Utah and you WILL if you know where the BEST place is, then you ought; YOU'VE JUST GOT to know about us. . , You will go into the orcharding busi ness; an income of $3,000 per year is not unusual from a 5-acre orchard; WI1EN THAT ORCHARD IS PROPERLY CARED FOR, Trees that we have sold; trees that have come from this nursery; trees that we have grown into commercial orchard ing stock HAVE DONE THAT TIME AND TIME AGAIN. The BEST orchards of Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, Idaho and other West ern States have been planted from stock supplied by us. This is the reagon: We BEGIN the tree In the oil, in the climate, subject to the conditions under which that tree must thrive. Altitude, density of air pressure, water and the chemical analysis of the soil are the big points we take under advise ment when we sell an orchard; the trees for an orchard, for you MUST REMEMBER: We are not in the real estate business and have no land to sell But if you come to Idaho, to Utah, to Colorado, to New Mexico, we want you to become acquainted with us. Our trees cost more, but they bear more live longer, thrive better and minimum of "cutting nut" of dead and useless stock goes on in the orchards we sell. This is our proposition: Write us a letter, a postal; ask us about tte country; ask us about your problem; ask us where are the best places to settle. We are absolutely disinterested, but if you are a peach grower we will tell you where the peach land Is; if apples, we'll tell you about that; it grapes, we can tell you that, too. And This Information Is Absolutely Free. No Booklets, No Circulars, but Informa tion Thought Out to Fit Your Case. You will write, won't you? Today? Of course! DAVIS COUNTY NURSERIES UAH HESS d I) IX, Proprietor t ROY. (Near Ogden.) UTAH will tell how the rlsh are raised for mar ket, how the water supply Is controlled and how by careful work the company has been able to build up a plant which will supply the city and other cities too, with mountain troUt at all seasons ot the year. The methods employed are similar to those of the state hatcheries and thoe of the United States government, but here they Bo further by keeping the fish In concrete pool and there fattening them for the market, Just as one would fatten poul try or live stock, Instead of turning the young fish loose In order to stock nnn water. There Is no cafe at the hatcheries, but a mile away at Huntsvllle there Is a home like restaurant kept by Carl K. Johnson, where one can have his purchases cooked to order. If you will tell him that you live at Omaha he will at once produce thi last number of The Omaha Dally Bee anil The Twentieth Century Farmer and tell you how he visits "the market town, twice each year, taking a train load of his sheep to the South Omaha market. If he will send a tank of the mountain trout with his next shipment he will receive the hearty thanks of all In Nebraska who are able to obtain one of the delicate morsels. Semi-Arid Farm Lands Attracting Much Attention Farmers from Other Semi-Arid Sec tions Are Interested in Utah. OGDEN, rtah, Sept. 3. (Special Cor. respondence.) TJtah, like most of the western states. Is Interested In the settle ment of a portion of her territory by those who will take up homesteads under the provisions of the special "semi-arid' land legislation. At present, a party of Kansas farmers Is reported as being en- route to tills state to take up land under the Smoot act and It Is expected they will arrive early next week. They are persons who have engaged In dry farming for a number of years, and It is expected that they will be a valuable asset in Utah's agricultural field. In a little over one year, since June 1, 1009, a total of 725 entries, aggregating over 216.000 acres of semi-arid dry farm lard, have been filed at the United States land office, according to the records on file there. This land Is included in the en larged homestead allotment, which gives the ground to settlers under much easier conditions than in the past. ( Under the new act, continued residence upon the land Is not necessary, and the settler is allowed five years In which to get his ground under cultivation. It is understood that the east Is looking with favor upon dry farmer In Utah, be cause of the easy conditions attendant upon scouring title to the land, and an influx of settlers during the next few months would not be at all surprising.

A communication has been received from Manager John Derrlng of the Pioneer Fruit company of California, rela tive to the recent shipment of cherries which will be of Interest to fruit growers and Ogden boosters in general. "The last car of cherries shipped from Utah, although it contained nearly boxes of Napoleons that averaged only 50 cents a box. the Black Windsors, Black Republicans and some Bings brought the gross receipts up to $1,870. "This sum beats a California car from California's beet district by $100, and nearly double the amount received for a car from Idaho at the same market on tho acme date. "Theso results show that our shipments of cherries that will carry will sell at prices equal to the best In the country. We were also complimented on the pack, especially that of C. F. Ferris." V The John Jacob Astor fortune; the mighty rent roll of the Trinity Corporation, the wealth of the Vnmlerbilts; and the towering piles of the Marshall Field estate, were not made in trade they were made because the founders of these huge aggregations of wealth had the foresight to invest in what was then small, but growing, towns.

These were sold at Ogden for EIGHT CENTS PER POUND, CASH. This tree produced $94.40 in cash. There are forty trees to the acre. The farmer who owns the place says: "There wasn't any more on this tree than there were on a great many of the others; I Just happened to WEIGH those I picked from the tree." If that Is true, that one acre of cherries produced a sum of money almost equal to (4,000.00; to be exact, (3,776.00!

GARRISON & GARRISON, Investments OGDEN, The Gate City) UTAH , SUGAR BEET PROSPECTS GOOD IN INTER-MOUNTAIN REGION flrporta from I tab. Indicate m Splen did Crop Even with a, Iry Season. OODKN, Utah, Sept. S. (Special Corre epondence.) While the late planting of sugar beets and the excessively dry season have a tendency to retard somewhat the sugar beet crop of this year there is no reason for anything but optimistic feeling for the sugar output. Nearly the same acreage as In former years has been planted, but the tonnage is not expected to be so large as heretofore. The percentage of asccharine that the beets of this year will contain cannot be ascer tained until the beets are far enough along to give them a tent, but It is thought by bent raisers and those of the sugar com pany who have expressed themselves, that in all likelihood the percentage of sugar will be a little above the average. This being true the sugar output will be as great as in former years. It Is admitted by all that there Is a scarc ity of water all over the country this year, but Weber county la far more fortunate than other districts. Ogden Is the second largest city in the State of Utah; a city of unlimited resources; a Jobbing city; a manufacturing city, 30.000 people live here and enjoy It.
