Shumate. Precipitation stations on the Dixie National Forest gave the following reports during the period of July 29 to August 14: Enterprise Cedar City Pine Valley Leeds In Career Program & Veyo Panguitch Duck Creek Long Valley Teasdae Circleville Bryce Canyon Escalante 1.25 3.87 1.41 1.41 84 3.69 8.24 4.29 3.32 2.45 4.56 2.96 Heavy precipitation at elevations above 8000 feet has made most roads slippery and rough. The fire danger at the lower elevations Is moderate in spite of the rain. Cured vegetation and strong southerly winds are currently the fire danger factors of major concern. Hunters will soon be going afield to hunt for antelope, mourning doves, and deer. Hunting on the wildlands of Utah Is a privilege. Carelessly discarding a cigarette or leaving a campfire unattended could destroy the habitat that produces Utahs game. Farmers and ranchers are also concerned about grain fields and revegetated rangelands. A potential grain crop could be destroyed with the flick of a match. Lower temperatures, shorter daylight hours, and expected rains will continue to reduce the danger of large project fires. However, strong winds, cured vegetation, and dry Indian summer days associated with the months of September and October will require continued precautions by the public. Fire control personnel from the Bureau of Land Management U. S. Park Service, State of Utah, and U. S.
