The pilot was able to walk away from the demolished plane after it had crashed, and suffered only minor injuries. Mr. Steel had made several trips over the area, having crossed the power line, but on this fatal trip he apparently was flying slightly lower than before because the rear landing wheel of the plane caught the wire, pulling down his speed, and as the line broke the plane crashed into a wire fence, which was credited with saving his life. As the plane partly freed itself from the fence it plowed into baled hay in the Bert Gardner field and ' crashed. It was almost completely demolished. The spraying mishap was the second to happen in this area in a month. Donald Ford, Cedar City school teacher was killed instantly June 24 in Pleasant Valley, south of Myton, when g his plane crashed as he was banking for a return trip over the field of Howard Roberts. Mr. Steele was taken to the Roosevelt Hospital by Harvey Riggle, where he was examined by a physician and released with only a slight injury to his left shoulder, and a few minor bruises. Continue Spraying According to Paul Nelson, chairman of the committee in charge of fighting the terrific grasshopper infestation of the Neola - Hayden area, spraying continued Wednesday, and was completed this morning, when another pilot and plane were brought in from Ogdan to complete the job.' He was Pete Miley and was hired by the Jenks Flying Service. A visit last week by Heber Thornley, federal entomologist, convinced 'the farmers in the area that spraying would relieve the situation. He told them the hoppers were in the mating season, and were not eating very heavily, a situation that might slow down the killing of the pests. A volunteer fund has been raised by farmers, and was plemented by financial aid from Uintah and Duchesne counties, the state agricultural departInment and the Uintah-Ouradian Service. It is expected that more activity toward the eradication of the pests will be carried on next fall. Cost of the spraying was estimated at approximately $7,000. p net-barbe- d crop-dustin- Time Extended On Well Drilling To October 31st A telephone call late Wed. from Coleman H. Mulcahy, oil operator who leased the Duchesne Townsite, advised that he exhas been granted a tension of time to commence drilling of a well on the town-sitfor the Lambert Oil Exploration Company of New York City, making the extension good up to October 31, 1954. Main purpose of the extended time was to finish title work and to lease or acquire other property not yet communitized.
