McMeans "Ma" Smoot, the wife of A O Smoot, who later served as mayor of the city, stood up and suggested the name Sugar House, In honor of the sugar mill then under construction a few rods away on the banks of Parleys Creek. the planting medium. Usually the larger sized seeds are covered about as deep as their diameter. A sheet of newspaper cut to fit the seed pan will provide the dark-ness required. Ordinary room temperature is sufficient for germination. Water carefully. Usually you will have less trouble if you set the flat in a large pan which contains an inch of water. Allow seed pans to stand in the water until the moisture shows on the surface of the seed bed. After the plants begin to grow they need all the sunshine they can get. As they start stretching toward the light, it will be neces-sary to turn the boxes each day to keep the growth even. Seed Planting (Continued from Page 2) a whole flatful of plants in half . a day. The top layer of sphagnum can be half an inch deep and should be another half an inch below the top of the seed pan. Under, the top layer you can put an inch lay-er of soil, say of equal parts of good garden loam( sifted through a kitchen sieve, and leaf mold. Below this you can put a layer of plain garden loam, and under neath, you can use a layer of coarse peat moss or the coarse sphagnum moss. If there are wide spaces between the bottom slats of the flats, then use a piece of burlap, cut to fit the bottom of the flat This will allow the water to soak upward to toward the seeds, but will keep the soil from washing out of the cracks between the pieces of boards. It is advisable tc use small size seed pahs to keep different types of flowers seperate, and help in treating their different rates of growth as required. Seeds should be sown in straight rowst one inch apart.

Ashton deserves much credit for untiring efforts. jOne more building had served its purpose in the lives of the Pioneers on Parley's creek, added its share to their progression into greater industries and unitedly they con-tinued to "Drive on." Sugar Mill (Continued from Page 1-- B) of the mill to house the machinery was completed with A. O. Smoot in charge at 11th East and 21st South. W. C. A. Smoot had charge of the woodwork. The mill race extended the length of the building on the south side: the over shot water wheel, supplying power, was at one corner of the building. Wood was later used as a fuel for cooking syrup. The adobe used for the walls of the building were the largest ever used in XJtaht and were made by a brickmaker from Liverpool. They were made on the Forest farm corner, which was located on the southeast corner o f Brigham Young's farm now Ashton Ave. and 9th East. " l The mill was later converted into a paper mill, and machinery came from the eastj along with Michael Grace, a professional paper maker, who was to take charge. Information of the old paper mill shows that the paper was made from sunflowers, weeds, straw and old rags. This paper was used by the Deseret News and other local papers. The mill was later moved to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon, because of the better power facilities. It is believed that other parts of the machinery were transported to the City Creek canyon flour mill and to the Provo Woolen mills. The building was also used as a tub and bucket factory, and when John W. Young was building his railroad up Parley's canyon, he used it for a round house and machine shop. For 25 years it was used by the Bamberger Coal Company for a yard, office, warehouse, weighing station and stable. In 1928 it was sold to Nephi J. Hansen and the same year it was wrecked. The businessmen of Sugar House erected a memorial to the Pioneer movement of sugar making. Mar-- |
