The climate of Utah is dry, stimulating and wholesome. The sky is so clear that no cloud specks it on 300 days a year. Lacking rain, the Mormons pioneered irrigation in America, bringing water from the mountains to irrigate crops in the desert. Today, Utah's chief crop is sugar beets, but vegetables and fruits are Other crops grown in profusion. are wheat, oats, potatoes, hay, alfalfa, corn, barley and rje. More than two million sheep, dairy cattle and a half million beef cattle are grazed in Utah. Wool production amounts to 20 million pounds annually. Manufacturing in Utah began with the Mormon pioneers, who wove woolen clothing, mined coal, quarried rock, canned fruit and vegetables, made sugar from beets, installed grist mills, slaughter! d cattle for meat, made butter and cheese, and utilized other raw piod-uct- s at hand.

U MPLt of corn grown in Salt Lake The emigrants moved on, and a hundred years ago, on July 24, 1847, Brigham Young looked out across a seared and desolate land of sagebrush and alkali, and said: This is the place! One lone tree clung to life in the entire valley. Heat waves danced and hot breaths of air came up the canyon. If there were inward doubts among his followers, none is recorded. Obediently the band moved into the desert Mormon Convert. Brigham Young was a native of Vermont and of Revolutionary ancestry. He had become a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, the Mormon church. When Joseph Smith, the founder, was killed at Nauvoo, 111., Brigham Young was chosen to take his place. Rocks and hills and desert did not deter him. They were but the materials with which he would build. In this strange land he and other Mormons would be far removed from religious and political differences. Here they would have a land of their own. A dreamer was Brigham Young, but he was a doer as well. Perhaps his eyes saw more than the mirages on the desert that day. He might have envisioned the Territory of Deseret, the beginning of an American epoch, the birth of a vast and productive region. The valleys and mountains that his people were to colonize later were before him, and there was a temple to be built, cities and towns to be laid out, industries to be developed, canals and ditches to be dug, and water to be spread over the thirsty soil. Faith Saves Crops. The Mormon leader likened the group to a swarm of bees beginning a new hive. The Beehive became their symbol, and all men were workers. The hardships of crossing the plains and mountains were as nothing compared to conquering the. desert. There were discouraging days when hunger stalked. Huge locusts came to eat their crops. Have faith! Have faith! Pray! And they had faith, and they prayed. Out of the skies swarmed seagulls thousands and thousands of them and they devoured the locusts! Brigham Young stated his wants and the group's needs, and builders set to work. The famed Mormon tabernacle was built without nails or steel. Monumental Effort.
