Overview

Excerpt from Hints to the Husbandman Regarding Opportunities in Utah, Nevada and California He. Fact that Utah is rapidly coming into her own as one of the greatest agricultural states in the Union is apparent to everyone who has made even a cursory study of her conditions. The advancement of the last few years along these lines has been phenomenal. While Utah was the scene of the first irrigation work done upon this continent by anglo-saxons, her possibilities have only just begun to completely blossom. By means of expert engineering, modern and scientific construction, the proper conservation of water and compelling it to do its full duty to the soil, has increased the productive area of Utah by many thousands of acres since 1910. In fact, Utah possesses today several of the most perfectly con structed and carefully operated irrigation projects that have ever demanded the attention of the homeseeker. In every one of the counties traversed by the lines of the Salt Lake Route Utah presents to the settler unlimited attractions in the way of possibilities for agricultural, horticultural or stock-raising development. From the home stead secured by the settler under the liberal laws of our Government, to the purchase of the highest grade lands located under the very latest system of water development and carrying perpetual water rights, from the lands to be devoted to the production of cereals under the dry farming process, to the lands producing the largest possible returns from either intensive farming or fruit-raising, throughout the entire range of possibilities Utah presents some thing which appeals to the pocket of every class of homeseeker or investor.
