Shortage of adequate equipment and man power, much of which has been transferred to the armed forces, and because of the considerable size of the job to be completed within a limited time before freezing weather, the seed will not be drilled but will be broadcast from an airplane especially adapted for this work.

An emergency landing field has been staked out on the mud flat along the shore line of Great Salt Lake on the west side of Promontory mountain, at which point the seed is being mixed and from which it will be received into the plane. For the next two years the reseeded area will be closed to grazing during practically all of the growing season to give the new plants opportunity to establish themselves. Sgt and Mrs. Ernest D.
