Isnt So Hot Here, According to weatherman Gumsey Brown, the highest temperature so far .this year in Kanab has been 98 "degr ees. Many folks here have expressed their belief that the weather has been about the hottest that they can remember in Kanab, however, the logical explanation must le that cold .weather was with us so long this year, that the sudden change the past week has made the change seem more severe than it really is. At Alton, the Heaton Brothers confronted us with a similar problem. Weeds are about to take over some of the grass plantings that were made last fall, and the seed production plot is a beautiful stand of wheat and rye. There is a good stand of grass under the small grain, but if the grain goes to seed, they will probably have the same problem again next year. It looks like they are going to have to mow the grain and haul it off and" plan to spray the weeds later. to Mr. Brown we have The stands of grass that are already established seem to be able to compete with the weeds. They are growing and look better than they ever have. In order to determine just how good they are, and what they are producing, Kent is making some clippings on grass that has not been grazed so far this year. He is estimating the density of the cover, and putting each species in a sack and when it is dry we will it and be able to tell how Club Members Report weigh many pounds of grass per acre is SuLee Young, one of our mem- being produced.

Controversies ranged over the auction with numerous complaints claiming the sale was not widdy enough publicized. There were some objections made by people who felt that Utah should have retained the land instead of bartering it to the Bureau ot Indian Affairs in a exchange that paved the way to for construction ot the Clen Canyon darn. There were also complaints raise ed over a section ot land that was not included in the sale. The Utah Land Board had been advised not to put the section up for auction since it was land that the government acquired in the exchange with Utah and plans to use for a reserve.

Mr. Taylor was high bidder on Section 32 at a public auction on the lands on June 14 in Kanab. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation protested sale of the section because it wants it for recreation purposes. The Utah Land Board presently is negotiating with the Bureau of Reclamation and the Bureau of Land Management on the possibility of giving them Section 32 in exchange for federal lands at Clark Bench, 16 miles from the proposed reservior shore line. To Build Town Mr. Taylor expressed his intention of building a town on Section 32, said if I can obtain- - clearance, fn a meeting Monday morning with Mr. Henderson after the public hearing was postponed. All of the 15 letters received by the Land Board expresed concern that Utah would lose out in supplying materials or reaping commercial benefits from construction at Clen Canyon Dam unless a townsits can be built on Section 32, as proposed by Mr. Taylor.
