them untill sumthing better can be advised
I have spent more time at than either
of the other settlemts. I can speak more advisedly
than of the others. I think Sunset has proved
itself a success in a tempory as well as spiritual
point of view. Brother who is the
presidet of the stake, takes the lead in the work
does as much hard work as any man in the Branch
faires No better than the poorest, and I think
has produced a good deal more for the support
of the people than any settlemt in the Mountains according
to the Number Employed. They as did lost hundreds of bushels of wheat by the
flood last year, yet almost Evry Mormon
Settlemet in have Depended upon
Lot Smith for their bread for the last
six months before harvest. He has distributed
to the Saints during the year I think from 15 to
20 Tons of flour & meal. and done it freely. &
when I left Sunset on the 29 July Br Lot Smith
had but 150 Acres of good ripe plump wheat
which I think I am safe in saying that it would
20 bushels to the Acre, & had 55 Acres more to
cut the latest they had & the best, that will
yield 40 bushels to the Acre, total of the wheat
crop 5200 Bushels And he
has but 11 Men &
boys at work on the farm, and he has over 100 Acres
of corn looks well, 30 of cane, 20 of Lucern &
some 15 Beets carrots & other vegitables, all his
other Men are at work at the waggon, Blacksmiths
sheep Heard, Steam Saw Mill, & Dairy quite a
settlement at the Mill & Dairy. The crops at Brigham
City are not near as good but what they have
are in the ben. They have cut their Early ^Sonora^ Sonora
wheat at , rather light 15 bushels to the
Acre, later wheat Better, their corn & Garden
very good. Wheat at half cut
a fair crop. corn & vegitables at
& Easts very good, corn & potatoes at
Father looks well. corn & vegitables
at half a crop. No Irrigation last
year a great crop there. Mr Cooley a friend
to Mormons & Indians (having an Indian wife)
