Minerals are not the only products
Of Utah. They are only one source OF
wealth. Mormon husbandmen are re-
markably successful. They plowed
the first furrow between the MISSISSIPPI

tains; they dug the first irrigation
ditch ever used by white men In Amer

In the Rocky mountains. and made the

ifested by the Church Of Latter Day
Saints in it's flock, the fraternal help

are used, and the influences that are

the farms may account for this phe-

The Mormons have not only reduced
diversified farming to a science, but
are the most practical of economists.
They are self-dependent to as great a
degree as the early settlers of New
England. They spend very little at
the store and raise nearly everything
they need-a little patch Of this and a
little patch OF that; medical herbs
which are as good as anything they
get at the druggists, and they use
sorghum of their own raising instead
of sugar. They plant trees where
nothing else will grow, and utilize
nearly everything that other farmers
waste. Ordinarily out here people toe
often limit themselves to one crop
and buy bacon, butter, eggs and corn

farm has a dairy and poultry yard
