May Eefu.se To Make Transfer However, should this action the possibility fail to happen, remains that the states fiscal officers would refuse to make any such transfer of funds for which they are responsible. If they do, the chief executive will have only one alternative calling a special session of the legislature to straighten out the financial tangle. One of the senators, in urging the governor to approve the gasoline tax refund measure, pointed out that if the governor could find money for state make-wor- k projects and to aid In establishment of a parachute factory at Manti, he should be able to find a few thousand dollars to operate the tax rebate system. The governor could have replied and ptobably did that those appropriation bills were made in a different biennium, under a much different appropriations bill, and with the approval of a rubber, Things have stamp legislature. changed on capitol hill. No Political Move It la evident that In vetoing SB 65 the governor had no political move in mind. He evidently believed that the administrative cost of the bill, together with the lost revenue to the state the would not counter-balanc- e favorable side of the bill aid to the farmers of the state. In both houses of the legislature, agricultural proponents of the gas tax refund measure had only one argument to offer in of the bill, and that was support ' that farmers shouldnt have to pay a tax on gasoline used in farm machinery not operated on the highways of the state.

The area is mostly covered with a dense stand of Pinon-Junipare type. Occasional openings covered with sagebrush, rabbitbrush and greasewood at the lower elevations. Higher ridges support bunch grass and sparse stands of browse. North exposures were covered of with from 18 to 36 inches snow. It was wet and heavy and crusted to some extent. Most of the southern exposures were free of 3now except for two or three inches of new snow which fell while the count was being made. Area Occupied By Deer Since not all the lower Avintaquin area was occupied by deer, some time was spent in determining what portions were occupied. This was done by riding the area and checking on tracks and deer seen and marking out the areas occupied on a nap. The map was then and it was found that the area contained 24,400 acres. Method of Checking Since the limited time available did not permit covering the occupied area to a sufficient extent to count the deer, it was decided to select a number of sample areas, count the deer on these areas and estimate the deer on the balance of the occupied area. In making the count, the party was divided into two groups with a stockman, a game warden and a forest officer in each. The two groups kept in close touch with each other and par. ticular care was taken to see that there was no duplication in Because of the dense counting. stand of trees which cover the area and the rough topography counting was difficult and it was impossible to count all the deer on the area. It was the unanimous opinion of the party that a material number of deer was missed. However, because there was no sound basis upon which to make a reliable estimate of deer not counted on the sample areas, they were entirely er plani-meter- ed The boundaries of sample areas were marked on a map as the ground was covered and the acreage determined by pTanime-tering. At the ratio of 1,244 deer actually counted on 8,665 acres, the area which the deer occupied of Continued from Page 1 to the fighting for shipment when boys here and there, and soldiers of bunch a showed they close-u- p sitting down to eat, with aon one of the stuff heaped guys mess tray, you should have heard the sigh go up from the Kinda sounded like audience. are they were glad you guys was it but want, all you having soltough going to watch the dier dive into an overloaded mess right after they had gotten up from what must have been a sort of skimpy supper. The Salt Lake paper Monday showed a picture of a butcher shop with only one little leg of lamb available in thd entire shop the first morning of meat rationing, after up the everybody had stocked previous Saturday. I just heard that Dinty has an allotment of one lb. of meat per day for his cafe from now on. Now can you imagine how many hamburgers he can serve And whats he going on that. to do when some sheepherder a comes in and wants which usually weighs a pound or more itself? The ration was they figured out in Washington, say, which means that somebody back there has either got his figures all mixed up or else were going to have to believe some of the stories we hear everybody in the Capitol going goofy. Bill Williams, the gob, was the "Belle of the Ball" at the Gold and Green ball last week. in Williams He was still Bill spite of the sailors uniform, they said, but you couldnt see much of him for girls. News around town today is that Milton Hollenbeck left Monday to join the Navy. Word hasnt come back yet whether he made the grade or not. The high school kids are the laboring men about town now. Jess has a whole bunch of them digging out the city ditches Billy Baker, Ross Fullmer, Norman Caldwell, Wendell Foy, Bob Schonian, Don Cluff, etc. They put in a couple hours a day after school, and really make the dirt fly, Jess says. I gueS3 that same bunch will be one of the chief sources of extra farm labor around town this summer, which means that I may not get as much help in my Victory gardening as I had hoped for. A card from Ole Potts this week says hes leaving South in Avintaquin canyon drainage, which is only one of several units of winter range being used, would indicate that the deer use on adjacent forest areas is much greater than has been suspected heretofore. 2. Class of vegetation grazed by deer in winter time is definitely being over used. Heavy losses may be expected in severe winter. 3. More study is needed to determine the extent to which deer are competing with domestic stock for forage but the heavy concentration of deer on spring range just as growth is starting, must have a very detrimental effect. 4. Area studied is heavily grazed by domestic stock as well as deer and soil conditions are very Dakota for Las Vegas, where hell enter advanced gunnery school and will soon do some flyout ing. I havent quite figured from his few cards just what hes going to be hes studied radio and gunnery and now talks of flying, so I guess hes going to be a whole bomber crew all to himself before hes through. Huh! If they dont hurry and get our scrap pile hauled out, itll all be back out on the farms in again. Last fall, they hauled mafrom threshing everything chines to old bolts and piled it in a huge pile west of the court house but its never been hauled to the railroad. About three weeks ago, a hew defense class was started up in which Luran Allred with Axel Piersons gateachrage as the class room, is to repair how the farmers ing their machinery and so over to the scrap pile they go to get a wheel for this and a scrap of metal for that Luran showed me a list the other day of what tractheyve done one complete tor made out of odds and ends of this and that, seveial other tractors overhauled and repaired, and plows, cultivators, harrows wha-not put back into working condition. Its still "scrap to beat the Jap, but instead of bombing em, with it, some of it at least will be used to fix the plow to raise the spuds to fill the men who fly the planes to drop the bombs, or something like that if you get what I mean. Its a cinch the stuff is better off fixing some piece of farm machinery than waiting around for them to build a railroad to Duchesne to haul it to some steel mill. Of course, whenever they take something from the scrap pile, they are supposed to replace it with something else of equal weight and haven't probably they do, I checked up on that. er it so Ill be seeing him soon ton, I guess.

Range Conditions As indicated above, the vegetative cover consists of Pinon-Junipwith occasional openings which support sparse stands of browse, sage brush and grass. There are two species of Juniper, white cedar and the unsatisfactory. the red cedar. Most of the Juniper are definitely "highlined" that is, the green foilage has been THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... eaten off the lower branches as high as deer can reach. The pinon pine has not been gTazed over the area as a whole to any appreciable extent, although occasional trees showed heavy grazing. Sagebrush has been grazed on. ly moderately over most of the area. In localized areas it has been razed to the point where it is dying out. Black sage occurs only on limited areas and has been closely grazed but appears to withstand close grazing better than the larger sagebrush. Bitterbrush has been severely grazed but does not make up any appreciable volume of the deer on the area. This is also true of Snowberry. The principal species of grass is a species of Rye grass which showed little or no grazing by deer. It was reported by Messrs. Lewis and Eliason that deer graze rather extensively on the green grass when it is first starting in the spring. The soil throughout the area is very susceptible to erosion which is rather widespread. It on the is particularly severe range used for lambing grounds Since the forage on by sheep. such areas, grass particularly, does not show heavier use than Judge, theres been quite a bit of talk going the areas used by cattle, it around abput prohibiting liquor in various would appear that trampling by around the country . . . around the spots is one of sheep during lambing Army camps for one thing.
