[Brigham Young Sermon] B Young then rose - spoke of taking out water out of Jordan - making farms - taking water out of Mill Creek to bring to the city - young men going to Sandpitch and assist Father Morley - raising 335 B of potatoes from one of seed - and 165 Bush of wheat from 1 - operating of Walker and his band - and taking possession of all good valleys - motioned that we carry out the suggestions of President Young... Supply the fields already made with water, before you make new fields - it is my council that the fur Cottonwood be brought this way and used in the fields already made - farm the lower land that does not want under water I move that the fur Cottonwood be turned this way to supply the land until it reaches the near or Big Cottonwood. -- SLC Bowery [Thomas Bullock Minutes, LJA; Thomas Bullock—LDS Church Reporter, 1844-56.C, Archives, Church History Library, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah.; GCM, Archives, Church History Library, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah..; Leonard J.
