Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 42: Organ of the Deseret Sunday School Union, August 15, 1907 Mormons encountered the problem of arid ity, and discovered that its successful ao lution was the price of existence. Brigham Young had lived in Vermont, Ohio, Mis souri, and Illinois. Neither he nor any of his followers had ever seen a country where the rainfall did not suffice for agriculture, nor even read of one save in the Bible. But they quickly learned that they had staked their whole future upon a region which could not produce a spear of a tame grass, an ear of corn. Nor a kernel of wheat without skilful irrigation. Of the art of irrigation they were utterly ignorant. But the need of beginning a planting was ur gent and pressing, for their slender stock of provisions would not protect them from starvation.
