tins this county to stop by tile the way I 1 take the liberty to address a few lines through the news for the benefit of those who would n sh ish to come south and settle report says that it is impossible to raise grain in iron county this report is entirely entirely Y false for a large portion of the wheat crop will average 40 bushels to the acre and bro shirts had soule that gave 65 bushels to the acre the corn crop is not so good as was expected the frost came about the middle of september and coit off the corn that eliat was planted late it will average about 15 bushels to the acre and of potatoes and squashes pumpkins turnips and beets there are thousands of bushels can hi be e spared besides supplying the present copt latiok I 1 would say that family familet s can be supplied and as for the climate I 1 never lived in X pleasanter plea santer and more wholesome in my life A large portion PO adoll of the winter is like the indian summer in the states particularly the month of january and if all the snow that fell last winter had fallen all at one time it would only have ben 2 ft 8 in deep but the deepest that we had was 6 inches and that only lay jay 2 days there ar a great many more reports about this county but I 1 will not intrude b by y tro noticing ticino them thein suffice it to say that all who are arc counseled to come here by the authorities autho ritie s of the church let nothing no thina stop you a and it if any person speaks evil of this county look back to the days dabs of moses when he sent twelve men to view the land of canaan alo the first settlement of great salt lake when ir many irany any went baek back to the states and reported that the saints could not live there and would all ail starve to death look back to the days of nauvoo when a company of saints was traveling up the Mississippi if they had believed all that they heard would they ever have reached nauvoo and hundreds did stop believing false reports and never saw the place of ther their destination ti losing the glory that they might have enjoyed there is plenty or of the choicest of land and firewood w 0 od inexhaustible the mountains covered from the base to tile the top and I 1 may say right at your doors a man and team can haul two loads at his leisure of dry pine and for graep we don t burn any so I 1 dont know how many loads a mau man ard and team could haul say 4 or 5 and not half try and for saw logs a man and team can haul one to the mill in a ottle little over half a day I 1 will say this much concerning the indians only for their labor there would have been hundreds of bushels of produce lost that could not have been saved by the white while population I 1 consider myself a common hand to worn work but 1 I must give up to so some me of the biedes for foi quickness and the pah bantes indians lud ians work considerable but not so wil bingly as the biedes or pollutes we have bad from 40 0 to 40 lodges heie bete through the summer and lal fall averaging from one to two hundred huldred natives I 1 will conclude by saying that union peace and love prevail in this colony as much as I 1 have seen since I 1 joined the he church of latter day saints arid and I 1 believe that each and every one are on hand and all that they have to help to build up the hing kingdom doin of god redeem zion and prepare themselves for the
