If the weatherman is- - right, we can live with him for the next month, anyway. ( He was right, by the way on his April predictions - forecasting J eavy moisture and below normal temperatures at the first of the month.) The outlook for the fruit crop lends itself to optimism.

OiV THE GO . . . BY TED CAPENER If a farmer or rancher isn't optimistic in the first week- of May, he's going to be a "grouch" for the entire year. If conditions don't look good at this time of year, here in ur Mountain county, likely they won't for the whole year. And things this year look pretty good. Take the weather (maybe this year we'll want to take it). should be excellent, too. Some of the heavier producing fruit areas in the Northwest have reportedly been severely hurt by frost damage. This will make local fruit in greater demand. Look at present livestock prices; maybe there's something to be optimistic about there. Choice steers continue to g sell for near $26 at midwest markets. Fat lamb prices (spring lambs) have sold at a high of $27 in the past couple of weeks at Denver. And even Utah lambs are already being contracted for $23.50 for October and November delivery, and that's for both fat and feeders - or all the lambs in the contracted herd. I spent a couple of days last week in Elko County, Nevada, visiting with a few large cattle ranchers. I learned that some contracting interest is already developing in this fall's calf crop. Though I heard of no actual contracts being made, there are reports of $25 per hundred-weigh- t being offered for steer calves and $23 for heifers. Some yearlings sold in that Nevada area last week at $23. These prices reflect considerable strength over last year's. Perhaps a note of optimism could even be struck by the dairymen. After all, June can't be far off now, and that is dairy month. And for the beet and wheat farmers, the May sun should make these plants price-settin- 80DG3 WD mm Sdfcro grow. And so for now at least, there seems to be the eternal (annual optimism amongst this area's farmers and ranchers. Let's hope the smile can continue right through harvest (and sale time) in the fall. The Duesenberg automobile is coming back. The famous auto of the 1920s and 1930s will reappear on the market this fall. It will not exactly be a family for the automobile, though, price will be about $18,000.

Moss charged Tuesday that cuts in the Soil Conservation Service program for next year will put the costs of technical and specialized services on those who can least proposed afford to pay. Senator Moss said in testimony for the Agriculture Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, "We haven't adequately treated even half of the cropland, rangeland, or woodland in the nation, or even a third of the small watersheds. If we don't step up the pace, rather than reduce it, we will be in trouble to satisfy the needs of a growing popula- tion." Senator Moss was of one many witnesses who testified in support of moves to put into the SCS budget for Fiscal 1966 an additional and development, and increase to $20,000,000 the Great Plains Conservation Program. Senator Moss told the subcommittee he has received an exceptionally heavy amount of mail from Utah residents who object to any cutback in Soil Conservation Service funds or activities.

Mrs. The idea of creep feeding is to let only the lambs obtain extra supplemental feeding of grain as they desire it. Adjust- able panels make effective creep pens to enclose the feed troughs. These let the lambs in but keep their mothers out. The creep pen encloses a rack for hay, flat bottomed trough for grain and a mineral box. Pasture, and if necessary, supplemental feedings of green leafy alfalfa hay cut in the early bloom stage provide adequate nourishment for the ewes. They should not be allowed in the creep pen. livestock nutritionists The suggest starting the lambs on whole oats then shifting to a grain mixture such as 70 dried rolled barley and 30 beet pulp with molasses.
