Show WILLIAM HOWARD : TALKS OF CROPS: i William Howard from Huntington is in Salt Lake City today on land business, j says the Deseret Ne-vs recently. Howard reports crops hardly up to the average in Emery county this season on account of th" long tlry season, i He says: "With one exception there has been no rainfall for nearly six j months, or since February. The streams j are all low, and but for their reservoirs which are also low. the farmers would ! be in a bad way. Little fruit will be raised in the county this season on account ac-count of the abundant yield last year, a heavv yield is generally followed by a light one down that way. The lucern crop is not as heavy this season as last. Surveyors for the proposed railroad from Cedar Creek to Huntington are now in the field, and the prospects are I bright that Huntington will enjoy railroad rail-road facilities within a few months. It is now eight miles from the nearest railroad point. The new line is proposed propos-ed to open up coal fields discovered up I Huntington Canyon beyond the town." ! i |
