Show i ' SERVING tl l,rN I UTAH'S a s a S3 mn TREMONTON, UTAH - 84337 Udy Hot Springs May Be Site Of New 'Farm9 Is It possible to use the water of natural hot springs to grow fresh, ripe Utah tomatoes to meet consumer demand during the The executive board members of the Resource Conservation and Development (RC4D) project for Box Elder, Cache and Oneida counties think so. They are looking with fevor on utilizing the natural resource of Udy Springs on the Malad River, two miles south of Plymouth In Box Elder County, for such a venture. They have given tentative support to the proposal of local businessmen to build hydroponic greenhouses at the springs. "We are interested in having this natural resource studied. If results of feasibility studies are positive, development should be stated Reese Warburton of Grouse Creek, RC&D chairman. Ben Lindsay, RC&D agent with Utah State University, explained that some areas in Utah are now growing tomatoes hydroponlcally an Inorganic process of growing in a chemical solution. However, they have to heat their water for winter growth and frost protection. Udy Springs has the advantage of both hot and cold water. Temperature of the hot springs is 105 to 140 degrees F. Water from the springs contains some salt, but authorities from Hydroculture, Inc. believe that the sodium content will not present an unmanageable problem. Lindsay cites the following advantages of the hydroponic grown tomatoes: about the amount of water for growing is required as for field-groplants; the nutritive content is equally high; the tomatoes are of more uniform size and free from blemishes; diseases are virtually crop rotation Is no pro- Diem: rew axra tools' are jiecessam and production can be geared to meet the high market demand. He noted that the demand for tomatoes in the continues to increase. Besides more than 11 billion pounds of tomatoes produced In the U.S. for the fresh market and processing market, the U.S. imports about 80 million pounds to help meet the market Raising mem in greenhouses where it is economically feasible is one way of helping meet the demand, it also creates some additional jobs for local people. The local businessmen point put mat at one time Udy Springs were used for recreation. They feel that the current growing demands for recreation and health resorts may add another possibility for fully developing the area. 21-2- 9- - "be Station Zebra" playing at the Main Theatre In Garland.

The checks were initial payments on L 847, 400 tons of sugar beets which had been delivered by October 31 in Washington and Oregon and by November 5 in Idaho and Utah. The initial payment on beets delivered from those dates to the end of harvest will be made within a few weeks. It is expected that the initial payment for the entire crop will reach slightly more than $33 million. The initial payment made today In Utah amounted to $3,976,487. Additional payments for the 1969 crop will be made periodically as sugar from the crop is sold. A final payment will be made next October. Payments are based on suger content and on actual net returns from-sugasold. A system of modified individual sugar content determination is in use in vUah for the third year. Under this System the sugar content of beets grown and delivered by each grower is determined and used In calculating the grower's payment in order that he may realize full value of his own work.
