I have had a few wormafor tho last threo wars, but I have not taken sufficient' to make a business of it yet, nevertheless my experience proves conclusively that, if wo immediately take measures to procure mulberry trees' and put them where they .will be most secure from frost and work with a will, it will yet be a source of untold wealth for Utah. There arequite a number hero who have a few ofthe trees on their lot?, and Ihave requested them to saveN the cuttings. If we can procure a suitable place to set them out this fall, we shall send to the City for a large quantity. Since Wri the above I have applied to our County Judge for a half block owned by the County in the southeastern part of town, in a very favorable locality as regards frosts. The Judge could not say whether the County would sell it, but thought perhaps the Society might obtain a lease of it for a 'Specified time. If wo can get it and are successful In getting the trees started we can make a very fair beginning, with what- trees we have In the gardens. If you have any suggestions to make, or a word of counsel to offer it will bo most thankfully received. I think your visit to our place will result in great good to the sisters here, I can already see a marked ' change, and think wo are awaking to a sense of our duty. Your Sister in the Gospel, which was severely felt, by all r in the So ciety, as well as those r Who ever, had the pleasure of her acquaintance.. She had faithfully discharged the duties of Treasurer for over seven years, and genuine sor. row was felt at her death. Our President Mrs. - Hyde, motioned . at our last meeting that the Secretary write a few lines to the Expondnt to let them and others know that woTaro doing all in our co-labor- ers The Electing of itio Senior; and Junior Retrenchment Associations, in the Fourteenth Ward Assembly Rooms, Au g. 14th, 1875, - was characterizedwith much of the spirit of the present reformation The minutes from the different wards Co-operati- wnl to silk'raisinff. and knowing that you " REPORTS. ; What a difference a few miles will malca in surrounding scenery as you travel along and what is still more curious difference also in climate, temperature and growth of "vegetation.
