DECEMBER 4, 1997 if i Jy shop Answer by: Michael Kuhns, Utah State University Extension Forestry Specialist Freshness and moistness are the keys to having a Christmas tree' that doesn't droop before the holidays are over. Consider these tips for tree selection and care once you bring it home. Buy a fresh tree. Trees shipped into Christmas tree lots from out of state may be fresh, but they " can-als- o be old and dried out. Check the tree carefully before making a purchase. The best way to ensure freshness is to buy from a local grower or : from a retailer you know and trust. To check for freshness, gently pull on several needles. If some come off, the tree may not be fresh. Also check for falling needles by lifting the tree and striking the bottom on the ground. You can also pull off a few needles and break them to see if they are moist and ' fragrant. Do not worry about unattached needles that accumulate inside the crown. They do not indicate a poor tree and can easily be removed. Care for the tree properly before bringing it in the house. Cut a thin piece from the bottom to open the tree's vessels and store it outside in water until you are ready to decorate it. Keep it away from sun and wind so it does not dry out. When you are ready to bring the tree in, cut the bottom again if it has been stored outside for more than a few days. Keep the tree watered. The tree should be placed in a sturdy stand that holds at least one gallon of water. A fresh tree can lose that much or more water a day, so check the water level daily. Also be sure to place the tree away from heat sources to prevent drying. Once needles dry out, they do not easily remoisten, even when the tree is placed in water. A fresh tree that is watered daily can stay moist and safe for several weeks. If a tree is displayed in a public building, however, it should be displayed for no more than about 15 days and should be treated with a fire retardant. Be sure to check w ith local fire officials to make sure you are displaying the tree according to fire code for a The computer system. for..all...Milford Healthcare Services will be down Friday, Valley December 5th to Sunday, December 7th.

R5JRF1EUD UFBF I ax President: Be Proactive In lis Approach Towards Source nt Pollution. the last twenty years with regards to water quality have been significant, according to UFBF President Ken Ashby, but farmers and ranchers need to be ready for a shift in emphasis from point source pollution to non-poisource pollution, he said at the Utah Farm Bureau Federation's 81st annual meeting. several Addressing hundred farmers and ranchers at the Salt Lake Marriott Hotel. havc done m Ashby said outstanding job of helping to nt f 14, nt bill requiring election on property tax increase is now in committee. Ifpassed, it would require a special election, probably in June, to approve property tax direct connection to agriculture. "When people talk about non-poisource pollution, they are usually targeting agriculture," Ashby said. "We have to take a proactive approach to this and show people that farmers are the true environmentalists." nt GREAT WESTERN LEASING & SALES 6 ,, (801) 295-181- (800) 1 WIFP $$: f&ll JilJ J ttJL, Iffix I t?utrry inn - SUMDANOE ' - it' V Super B Ashby said along with this shift in focus will come new words and acronyms like TMDLs or Total Maximum Daily Loads. "We in agriculture need to not just be familiar with words such as TMDLs," he said, "but we need to be on the forefront of this issue." Ashby said Farm Bureau supports incentive based rather than punitive based efforts in non-poisource regulating pollution. He said Farm Bureau will be actively involved in making sure that agriculture's perspective in this important issue is not ignored. "Our main job is to ensure that farmers and ranchers play a major role in the dialog that will take place over the next few years with regards towards water quality," he said. "Our efforts will be to inform, educate and to plan." nt Salt Lake City Improvements in .. counties cities , j dfnCCd t0 and towns and special districts focus m 1 All of these types of taxing contmuc Aal work as water non-poibecomes luality units are expected to receive dramatic source pollution, which, whether increases in revenues of about 1 right or wrong, many feel has a A sufteb Carvers magelbys restaurant roy Park Ivy garden provo theater comramy Frontier Cafe Agriculture Must Non-Poi- tNN & ' Hampton Inn Hineb Mansion B&B Holiday Inn similar decrease to property tax revenues. Mr. Fredde noted that although counties which opt for the new sales taxes must decrease their property tax revenues by an amount equal to the sales tax revenue they generate, there is no provision to stop other local taxing entities from taking advantage of the decrease in county rates. "Those local entities could and, if past experience holds true, will increase their rates, thereby negating the effects of the tax switch and increasing taxes across the board." The Utah Taxpayers Association believes that the legislature should consider a imposing voting requirement in 1998, similar to that of 1995 and 1996, to discourage any unnecessary rate increases and to stop local governments and schools from taking advantage of the switch. The proportion of property tax revenues going to each type of taxing unit will remain unchanged for o ucadm.vish0rsstate.uLu5 Ema3 4 increases. Milford True Value Hardware : - 3.
