Improved grass seed available Commercial quantities of seed are now available for two improved grasses that will help revegetate mine land and highway cuts in the Inter-mountain Inter-mountain West. According to Forest Service scientist scien-tist Durant McArthur, Ephriam Crested Wheatgrass and Paiute Or-chardgrass Or-chardgrass were developed as improved improv-ed grasses by the Intermountain Research Station and the Utah Division Divi-sion of Wildlife Resources in 1983. Since then the Soil Conservation Service Ser-vice has worked with seed companies to develop commercial quantities of seed. Seed is now available at commercial com-mercial seed outlets. "Paiute greens up a week to 10 days earlier in the spring, remains green longer, and has better fall growth than other range grasses," says McArthur. "Unlike other wheatgrasses, Ephriam produces rhizomes making it an excellent ex-cellent sod-forming grass." Both grasses ware well suited for semi-arid rangeland conditions.

He insists he's serious. "It's a super-large project that will be very time-consuming and might cost a lot of money," Craig Mayor Larry Polich said. "We're going on a lot of hearsay right now, but we are only on-ly in the research stages; it's a serious deal." Polich said he has sent letters to every other mayor in northwestern Colorado and has formed a steering committee to look further into the idea. , It's not the first time the idea has come up, statehouse observers say. State Rep. T. John Baer, D-Fruita, proposed it several times during the 1960s. Craig businessman Don Kindaid, who said he also is serious about the concept, said its success hinges on the success of water legislation now before the Legislature. "I think we've got a good case," Kindaid Kin-daid said. "If Danny Rep. Danny Williams, R-Edwards can get his biU passed, we might not have to worry about it." Western Coloradans worry about Arizona and California taking their water, Kindaid said, but "I worry just as much about eastern Colorado taking tak-ing it. "It sounds farfetched, but West Virginia did it why not west Colorado?" ' Besides protecting western Colorado water rights, statehood would give western Coloradans more representation representa-tion at the legislative level, a governor and the ability to keep their own severance taxes, Kindaid added. Creating "a whole new state" would also boost economic development in the area, Polich said. Secession talk is a "result of the frustration we're all feeling over here, because we always feel like the state's step-sister," said Grand Junction Mayor Mike Pacheco. To be fair, he added, the state has been "very helpful, at least in our area." He called secession talk "a normal nor-mal release of frustration," and added, add-ed, "but down deep, we're all still Coloradans. "Ten years down the road, we'll all look back on it and laugh," Pacheco said. Meeker Mayor Gus Halandras called call-ed the idea interesting, but wondered how realistic t is. "It will surely make some headlines," Halandras said. A Duchesne woman has been charged with aggravated assault in connection with a stabbing incident March 5 in Duchesne.
