Bishop, 79, Early Settler of County Funeral services for Annie Hilton I Bishop, 79, an early settler of the west Millard County area were Second Ward Chapel, with Ferrin Lovell', a Counselor in the Bishopric, Bishop-ric, officiating. Mrs. Bishop was born Dec. 10, 1884 at Virgin City in Washington County and was the second of 11 childrenof John Hugh Hilton and Maria Parker Hilton. She moved wi.h her family to Millard County in 1900 and settled in the Abraham area, later moving to Hinckley. She attended school at the Brig-ham Brig-ham Young University at Provo, later taught school at Orangeville, Cedar City, Hinckley and Abraham. She was married to Raymond Spencer Bishop in the Salt Lake Temple Feb. 8, 1911. Her husband proceeded her in death, passing a-way a-way May 25, 1963. She is survived by eight living children, all of whom were present for the services and by 35 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Mrs. Bishop was a member of the L.D.S. Church and was very active, ac-tive, serving in many executive and teaching capacities in the auxiliaries. aux-iliaries. She also served a mission for the Church together with her husband in the Texas-Louisiana Mission. She has at present one grandson serving in the West Central Cen-tral States Mission, also. She res.ded with her husband in their farm-home just outside Delta since 1915. Prayer with the family was by Eugene Hilton, a brother. Prelude and postlude music was by Elaine Robison. The opening song was by the Delta Second Ward Singing Mothers, "The Old Refrain," with Thelma Black conducting and Lor-na Lor-na Bunker accompanying. The opening op-ening prayer was by President June W. Biiack. The first speaker was a brother-in-law, Don A. Bishop who spoke of the love of the Bishop family for her and of their lifelong life-long association and early life of Mrs. Bishop. A tribute was given by a sister-in-law, Vera Hilton, who spoke feelingly of the sweet life led by Mrs. Bishop and her great love for husband, family and friends. Lulu Marie Hendrickson and lone Chris-tensen, Chris-tensen, nieces, sang "Whisperig Hope," accompanied by Elaine Robison, after which, William S. Bassett, a neighbor and former Bishop spoke of his love and appreciation ap-preciation and association. A trio, Thelma Black, Norma Sherwood and Lorene Smith sang "Stranger of Gallilee," followed by remarks by Ferrin Lovell. A nephew, neph-ew, Wayne Hin'ion, offered the closing prayer. Bu;ial was in the Delta Ceme-tary, Ceme-tary, where the grave was dedicated dedicat-ed by a brother, Clement P. Hilton. Pall bearers were grandsons, Ken Bishop, Ross Bishop, Duane Bishop, Barry Bishop, Ronald Bishop and Grover Garvin. Cleanup Campaign Gathering Steam Springlike days and temperatures over the Easter weekend turned Delta City residents' thoughts to out-of-doors and the cleanup campaign cam-paign now underway. Sept. 9, 1963, Delta City Council adopted an Ordinance providing for the abatement of weeds, garbage, garb-age, refuse or any unsightly or deleterious de-leterious object or structure. The same Ordinance provided for the appointment of an inspector and methods whereby municipalities may collect the costs of cleanup functions and provided a penalty ior residents who fail to comply. The Ordinacne, published Sept. 26, 1963 became effective immediately. immedi-ately. Cleanup Chairman, Evan Gardner, Gard-ner, reported that inquiries had been made on the "Tom Sawyer" paint which he successfully used on a fence last year. Mr. Gardner said approximately 15 to 18 lbs. of lime mixed with three gallons of liquid, preferably buttermilk, is what he recommends. Other liquids which can be used with less success suc-cess are powdered milk and skimmed skim-med milk. Mr. Gardner recommends constant stirring of the mixture as the lime tends to settle. A second coat of the mixture will probably require less than half of the first application. Fire Chief Leland Roper reminds res'dents that permission to burn irash within city limits must be granted. Residents are asked to contact Chief Roper for permits before be-fore burning trash. Several residents resi-dents have already been raking leaves and grass. Why mail order?

County Agent Says Heptachlor Is Out For Yeevil Control With added emphasis on preventing prevent-ing pesticide residues on forage, alfalfa hay and seed growers are wondering how they can control alfalfa weevil this spring. Heptachlor can no longer toe recommended re-commended by the Utah State University Uni-versity for early spring alfalfa weevil' wee-vil' control in the western states. The USDA, an a recent ruling, has removed its approval of the standard stand-ard early season treatment of Heptachlor. Dr. Knowlton USU Extension Entomologist En-tomologist suggests that alfalfa growers spray weevil infested crops early with malathion, diazinon or parathion to kill weevil larvae. Or, as an alternative program, he suggests sug-gests cutting the first crop early, removing the hay promptly after it is dry and -spraying the stubble with -parathion or malathion. He said this will kill weevil larvae feeding in the alfalfa crowns and permit early second crop growth. Marven J. Ogden USU Extension Agent Chemical Residue and Weevil Control Problem With the added emphasis on preventing pre-venting pesticide residues on forage for-age crops, do not feed dairy animals, ani-mals, poultry or livestock intended for slaughter alfalfa hay, alfalfa seed chaff and other crops previously prev-iously treated with chlorinated hydrocarbons hy-drocarbons for insect control. If you haven't already heard this statement, you probably will before be-fore the growing season is over. Chlorinated hydrocarbons, which includes such chemicals as aldrin, dieldrin, chlordane, endrin, lindane, toxaphene, DDT, and heptachlor have long lasting residual effects. All these chemicals tend to accumulate accum-ulate in the body fat and in the milk of animals eating feeds treated treat-ed with the chemicals mentioned. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration Admin-istration is carrying out its responsibility respon-sibility of protecting public health and has established minimum tolerances tol-erances for these chemicals in food products. In crder to protect our agricultural agricult-ural industries, specifically at this time, our dairy and livestock industries, indus-tries, and to be assured of complying comply-ing with the intent of the Food and Drug Administration and U-nited U-nited States Department of Agriculture, Agricul-ture, we should toe seriously considering con-sidering excluding chlorinated hydrocarbons hy-drocarbons for forage use. Since alfalfa weevil is perhaps the first insect we are in the habit of controlling in some areas at the beginning of the growing season, alfalfa growers are inquiring as to what their control practices should be. Early spring control of adult weevil presents a problem by excluding ex-cluding residual chemicals. You should have an understanding of this insect to appreciate this prob lem. Weevil larvae do the greatest damage to the first crop alfalfa. They feed within the plant tips, on the upward leaves as they open and then on the lower foliage, skeletonizing the leaves.

Dennis Leavitt, 12-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Leavitt, surgery, sur-gery, admitted March 31. After the first crop of alfalfa has been cut the larvae crawl to the new shoots of the second crop and continue feeding. Alfalfa weevil wee-vil pass through egg, larval, pupal and adult stages in their development. develop-ment. In early spring adult weevil become active. Each female lays several hundred eggs in clusters, two to twenty-five eggs in each cluster. Weevil first lay a considerable consider-able number of eggs Inside dead, hollow stems of alfalfa and weeds laying around on the ground. This would lead one to believe that we should be doing a good job of clean ing up our fields in the fall and early spring as a good management practice to follow. By the time the alfalfa is six inches tall, weevil have gradually shifted their egg laying to the growing stems. Larvae appear in April and are numerous in the fields during May and June. They are most abundant in late May and early June. The use of phosphate sprays during dur-ing this period should do a good job of control if larvae numbers justify control measures. Most of the adult weevil in an alfalfa field were produced there as a result of the field's management. manage-ment. Migration is unimportant once the stand is established. Weevil Wee-vil is, therefore, an individual field problem, and good control cannot be nullified by the actions of neigh boring growers as is the case in rygus bug control. For alfalfa weevil larvae control in late May or early June, the U-tah U-tah State University has reconv mended three chemicals which should give good control for this time of application, malathion at the rate of l'i pints of 5 emul sion; parathion.

Never have they felt more so than during the recent earthquake. Mrs. Robinson or Nina and Claud had been cleaning house in preparation prepa-ration for Easter Sunday, getting the laundry ready to do and, in general, repeating the scene of the average American home at the time the quake struck. Their son, Earl and friends were out delivering deliver-ing papers and Carla and Robyn and smaller friends were sled riding rid-ing or romping in the new snow. At the time snow flakes were gently gent-ly floating down.. Comes the time of day when a short rest period is in order and Mr. and Mrs. Robinson had just sat down with the paper to read all about wcrid events.

I received several calls following last week's column. All, who called, were in agreement .that more was involved than placing a "black mark" against a youth's name which may be difficult to live down. One father said "There's really little point in teaching our own children to be law-abiding citizens cit-izens when the courts protect those who deliberately break the laws, vandalize, intimidate other youths, etc. I guess it's safe to assume that mine would receive the same protection." v There have been many to suggest sug-gest that as soon as the Nov. 2nd elections are over that Millard County residents begin a movement move-ment to persuade our State Legislators Legis-lators to sponsor a bill in the next session to get the law changed regarding juvenile courts. With Governor George D. Clyde's announcement that he will not be seeking reelection, many persons have wondered what effect this will have on the Education Committee Com-mittee which he appointed last year to study the needs of Utah Public Schools. School districts have received requests re-quests from UEA to hold teachers' contracts until after April 18, or so I've been informed. At that time, the findings of the Governor's Committee Com-mittee are to be made known. These warm days are "Doing" days not "Dreaming" days as area farmers begin their annual spring work. It's surely good to live in a farming area and see the progress being made at various farms. "It can't be true" or 60 I thought when I heard that the Millard Mil-lard Board of Education has (been asked to change its building plans for the secondary schools in the West Millard area. But checking before havesting is the restriction requirements. Another practice which may be followed if weevil population is not too numerous, would be cutting the alfalfa hay in the early bud stage, remove the hay from the field as soon as possible, and a follow-up spray application with one of the recommended chemicals mentioned to the stubble. This should control larvae damage on new growth. In conclusion, remember, do not feed dairy animals, poultry, or lire-stock lire-stock intended for slaughter, crops which have been treated with chlorinated chlo-rinated hydrocarbons. Marven J.
