 Utak's Fertile Valleys 



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. 



In addition to the alluring conditions of soil and water comes a climate 

 unexcelled in any section of the temperate zone, where health is a commodity
