at Mount Trumbull, and we are compelled to cany the hay 150 miles to support the cattle that fknish the mills with logs--and grain has to be hauled much further. About 100 men are at work in the quarry. The scarcity of money to meet the demands for cash articles is severely felt, both on this and the Salt Lake Temple. The walls of this temple [St. George] are between 30 and 40 feet high, and the work is firstclass masonry, every stone being well laid on its natural bed. There is a good deal of spint manifested by the brethren to push its constmction forward. H. Elder W ~ a m Folsom is now here taking charge of the Architectural Department, and Bishop Nathan Davis of the 17th Ward [Salt Lake City] is here making arrangements for casting the Baptismal Font and the oxen upon which it is to stand. They are to be of Utah iron, finished with bronze. He has visited the iron works at Iron City and is much pleased with the prospect of Utah being supplied with this indispensable metal from our own mines. Although the grain and hay crop has been lighter than usual, there has been more cotton raised than for several years previous, and the product of Sorghum Syrup is superior in quality and greater quantity than in the last seven years. There has also been a large amount of broom corn raised, which will be worked into brooms this winter. The h i t and wine crop was also excellent To be successful here, an agricuiturist should make his plow overtake the reaper and, as soon as his small grain is harvested, he should plow the ground and plant it with maize. The cultivator, hoe and imgation water follow, and the second harvest is about as valuable as the first. If this latter crop is neglected, a growth of sunflowers and other wild plants will grow
