Dear Sir.
President Young is now absent from home, but in reply to your favor of 6th inst. permit me to say, we use cultivators, one horse & two horse plows, sub-soil plows &c. We raise, when the grasshoppers do not destroy our crops, wheat, barley, oats, rye, corn, sugar-cane, cotton, flax, potatoes, peas, beans, turnips, carrots, tomatoes, cabbages, beets, apples, pears, plums, strawberries, cherries, peaches, apricots, goosberries, in fact all kinds of fruits, grain and vegetables generally found or cultivated in temperate climes, but in all cases we have to irrigate to mature the crop.

Yours respectfully
G. Reynolds.
Clerk to Prest Young
