Show August 1 974 Utah Farm Bureau News Planning can cut emergency power unit cost: Fuhriman Dairymen who want the safety of an emergency power unit in case of power failure but who don't want the expense of a large unit that will cover all their needs at one time can plan for a smaller unit, according to Jake Fuhriman. manager of the Utah Farm Bureau Service Company. He points out that the power requirements of the milking operation are around 8 to 10 horsepower fairly low barns. Even allowing some most for extra power for a safety margin, a e, w 100-ampe- In two separate actions, members of the U. S. House of Representatives have taken aim on the activities of the Protection Environmental Agency and Occupational Safety and (EPA) Health Administration (OSHA). During hearings on EPA funds, the H ouse Appropriations Committee commented on the loss of timber since the use of DDT was halted by EPA. Common sense demands that the agency consider the potential environmental impact of its actions." a House report said, so that the problems created by its actions are not more detrimental to the environment than the problem they are attempting to correct." People without jobs or without adequate food or clothing will care little about environmental protection. The group requested a report from EPA by October on all existing laws and regulations ... so that it can determine whether or not funds should be provided to implement these laws and regulations. In other action, the House passed two amendments which, if they finally re become law, would limit OSHAs inspection of farmers, ranchers and other small businessmen. The key amendment would prohibit federally funded inspections of businesses hiring 25 or less people. The other would create a consulting fund of $5 million to educate employers on occupational safety and health matters. In a recent letter to state and county 1 Bureau Farm leaders. Booth Wallentine, executive vice president of UFBF said: We urge you to contact our Senators ... to let them know that you support these two amendments. Responding to a church mission call. V. Allen Olsen and his wife Bernice will depart from their Salt Lake City home August 15, 1974, for a two-ye- ar period. They will serve in the Georgia-Atlan- ta mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints. Olsen retired from the state staff of Utah Farm Bureau in May 1973, after nearly 20 years of service to Utah Agriculture. For the last 7 years of that time, he was executive secretary of UFBF. He joined the state Farm Bureau staff in 1953 as organization director after serving as Cache County Farm Bureau secretary and president for 13 years.

Allen Olsen, wife V. Allen Olsen events honor Jarman Two dairyman could get by in an emergency with 15 or 18 kilowatts of emergency pow'er, if he didn't operate other equipment while he was milking. (A kilowatt furnishes about one horsepower to a motor.) Even with a farmhouse connected to the power unit, Fuhriman says, a plan for rotating use of appliances and lights would allow the family to get by. For instance, the refrigerator and television set could be unplugged while the stove, oven and other appliances were being used for cooking. The Service Company manager cautions that the electrical hookup should be safe. A large double-poldouble-throswitch usually with should be wired capacity at the main utility pole so that wnen a tractor-drive- n alternator is supplying the farm, the power companys line is completely disconnected. Dairymen or livestock feeders who have automatic feeding equipment, silo unloaders and other equipment with higher power needs should consider buying a larger emergency power unit 27 kilowatts or even larger, depending on need.
