results For In the fall of 1878 a "thirty bushel" crop was ready for harvest After the laborious task of cutting the gr&in binding by hand' and hauling It into the stack the grain was ready to be threshed J W Hess the boy's father hired a threshing machine from Brigham City to thresh the grain The occasion was outstanding and glorious just before threshing began this man J W Hess with bared head said to his intent llstehera “I have broken the lence of the ages with the sound of the threshing machine” About 1800 bushels were threshed out and later hauled to Corinne where thy received 60 cents per bushel and thus was the first crop raised on the Fielding Flat - The next eight or Jen years the economic development took the form of clearing the land bringing it otherwise under tillage By 1884 most of the land was taken up as far west ss Blue Creek Only the highest land was left for future entry As was generally true in Kansas and the Dakotas the seasons were rather some fluctuating good and some poor If the Eastern States were hard hit by low prices for agricultural products during the years 1876 to 1890 the west was hit doubly hard Year after year crops good or bad the grain was arduously conveyed to Corinne where the farmers were paid usually from 35 cents to 80 cents per bushel for their wheat This means that a load of grain of eighty bushels would gross the farmer from $2800 to $4800 not much more than enough to pay him for his hauling and subsidiary expenses saying nothing of the expense of production Many of th peole began early to pull But toward the beef cattle industry' cattle remained cheap Even up to my now 34 earliest recollections (I am be could beef years old) bought very the cheaply not more than present price Hogs were raised by some while some early became Interested in blooded horses But thru all these difficulties growing steady and the earliest of they proceeded thrift soon became evident the method of People early adopted g dry farming known as This brought to the people scientific farming and it is easy to see this was largely responsible for the very existence of - the- country during - all these days I have been informed by a citizen of Fielding John S Mason that J W Hess was the first man to institute this system of Be that as it may this practice was early Instituted and practiced to a large extent It Is certain that the method was general by 1884 During much of this time many of the men were away from home working to make things go My father and some of his brothers spent much of their time making railroad ties at Soda in sawmills Springs and operating different parts of the country notably m Malad Valley Aside from the above facts little need be said about the onomic phase untlll 1890 when some new movements were

oport unities offered for service through the Lion’s organization Thy have never had a service club in Hyrum 'except the Commercial Club It was pointed out that the contact with National and State organization officers the inspiration obtained through men who devote their lives to the work of and keeping alive and perpetuating the work of Lion's Clubs interesting furnishes an element entirely
