Tooele County Agriculture made new gains in efficiency Ernest during 1962, reports Tooele Biggs, County Agriculture Agent in an annual resume of county agricultural activity. Use of sprinkler systems for irrigation has increased by 800 acres during the past two years with the Erda area showing the biggest gains. About 2000 acres in Tooele are now under sprinkler irrigation. THE FIGHT TO make more efficient use of Tooeles limited water supply goes on with 12 srrings being developed and tha water piped to troughs in the Government Creek area in the lower end of Skull Valley. Three miles of ditch were concrete lined in the county and five miles were put in concrete pipe. Water, the big limiting factor in Tooele County Agriculture, was brought to more land under well program completed in 1961 and streams were tapped by concrete ditches and pipe In a growing program that began a few years ago in the Vernon area. The Vernon project brought the full creek flow into five miles of concrete liped ditch. LIVESTOCK NUMBERS in the county remain the same with the more less stable numbers of about 8,000 head of beef cattle, and 22.000 head of sheep belonging to Tooele people. The annual winter influx of sheen on winter ranges is now at its height with 90,000 head on winter range in the Gold Hill, and Dugway Callio, Ibapah, areas.

About 200 buildings, mostly business and commercial, are about every three inspected months for fire and safety hazards. OWNERS AND operators have been very cooperative in correcting unsafe heating plants, and accumulations of wiring, combustible materials, reports Inspector Dougherty. Wiring is a special problem in old buildings. The wiring was never designed to carry loads required by modern appliances. In most cases new wiring is required to provide safe and adequate circuits and service. Winter is fhe season in which . 80 per cent of the fires occur, Mr. Dougherty states. FAULTY heating plants, over loaded wiring and the accumu lation of materials that can quickly catch fire are all winter problems that cause fires. Tooele homeowners should check filters and operating belts on furnaces and be sure that flues are clean. Motors should be oiled and belts adjusted to the proper tension for efficient and safe operation. Summer brings problems with grass fires and incinerators. YEAR AFTER YEAR it is the same Tooele property owners who are careless with their yard and lots and have fires as a result. Dry grass and incinerators that throw sparks quickly result in fires that bring the fire department to control it. One of the fire inspectors jobs is to warn persons with faulty incinerators about the dangers of sparks and excessive smoke in the dry time of the year. CHRISTMAS creates special problems and Mr. Dougherty recommends that persons using Christmas lights be sure that electhey are not overloading trical circuits. Strings of lights should be approved types that carry the National Underwriters label as a guarantee that they have been tested and found safe from fire hazard. In addition to his fire inspection duties, Mr. Dougherty regularly checks garages and industrial establishments for safety hazards. Mr. Lyle Colbath is state safety officer for this area and Mr. Dougherty wroks in cooperation with him. Seventeen years as a fireman at U.S. Government installations and several years as a fire inspector at Dugway has given Mr. to Dougherty wide experience draw from.

HE URGED that the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management give more thought to the economic impact on the whole community of the reduction in cattle and sheep numbers on federal ranges. Private lumber companies are finding it possible to increase ivestock numbers on their ranges by better management and practices, the group was told. Mr. Buzianis led the discussion on grazings impact on the counties at the annual convention of County officials, last Wednesday. OTHER TOPICS were the impact of urbanization, and the federal encroachment on water rights of the states. A resolution was adopted by the convention favoring a youth conservation corp that could aid in the development of county resources and put idle youth to woFk, Mr. Buzianis said.
