Show Juab ALL THE NEW! OF EAST JUAB COUNTY. county NEPHI CITY, UTAH, VOL. 1. OF JUAB DRY FARMERS COUNTY. Nephi Farmer of. Best Ever Seen and Grasses in Utah. and Fruits and Vegetables Grains That Beat the World. Twenty four years ago David B. Broadhead, who had entered a homestead on the Levan Ridge, six miles from this city, went to the United States land office to prove up on his claim. In reply to questions; Mr. Broadhead under oath declared his homestead agricultural land and also declared that he raised grain and other products, and that without irrigation. His statement astounded the land officials, but Mr. Broadhead pevsisted in his declarations, and the papers were signed, and in due course were forwarded to Washington. Later on a grand jury of the federal court, in session at Provo heard evidence regarding Mr. Broadhead's declarations, and an indictment for per jury was returned against him. It was declared impossible for an individual to raise anything upon land without rainfall or irrigation. Later Mr. Braadhead was arrested upon the streets of this city by a United States marshal, taken from his wagon, in which he was riding with his son. He was taken to Provo and his son drove the team home. When he appeared before the judge and stated his case the judge said "This court has a mission that is to enforce the law, prosecute law breakers and preserve the peace and dignity of the territory. We are here to prosecute, not persecute. You are released upon your own recognizance. Answer to the court when you are "called." Two years later the case against him was dismissed. Mr. Broadhead has continued to reside here mostly in small grain, and the wheat crop will aggregate 200,000 bushels. Some wheat is it not? Dry farmers calculate that if they can have twelve inches precipitation a year that their crops are absolutely iusured. From June 1, 1909 to June 1, 1910, the precipitation in this dry farm 0 region has been only 7 inches and yet the crop this year is as great as ever. In this city today in the manual training school building of the public schools of this city is a dry farm exhibit. Therein is shown the products of this arid region. It is an exhibit that the people can well be proud of, not only the people and the farmers of Juab county, but the people of this great state of Utah; and the latter will be given opportunity to inspect it at the state fair and again in the Vermont building in Salt Lake City where it is said to be placed and made a permanent exhibit STATE OFFICIALS VISIT EX31-10- HIBIT.
