ErDyccOruytoa, By MRS. E. R. WILCKEN W. E. Broome, of Myton, has disproved the general opinion of Uintah Basinites that the short growing season and the climate in this area prevents growth of a successful family orchard. Small orchards planted from his nursery stock at Myton are springing up all over Duchesne and Uintah counties. Many hardy varieties of peaches, apples, and apricots originated in the Basin from seedling trees budded and grafted from choice parent stock to produce trees that will withstand the some40 - degree - below - zero times weather typical in this section.

He was warned by Sheriff Arzy Mitchell to keep that powder dry, after accidentally shooting into a car heading east on Highway 40. The occupants of the automobile, Mr. and Mrs. Leo T.

The growing season, averaging from May 10 to Oci. 1 is a major drawback to growing many fruits in this 5,089-foo- t altitude. Belief that fruit trees could not survive in the Uintah Basin has its origin from innumerable experiences where less hardy plants were used for setting the orchard and these the tender trees winter-killed first season. Mr. Broome has been instrumental in overcoming this handicap by introducing to Basinites the value of planting hardy varieties of apples, plumbs, peaches, cherries, and apricots that have lived through these winters. Four varieties of fruit which Mr. Broome originated for special planting in the Uintah Basin are Dwarf Delicious apple, Texola apple, a novelty apple tree with seven varieties, and the Nectarcot, a hybrid of the nectarine and apricot. The value of these hardy varieties is illustrated by the Texola apple which was originated than 40 by Mr. Broome moreOkla. years ago at McLoud, an The apple seed was planted from Tex.

In his letter to Mrs. Hansen, his last, he said, Im going into combat. Im scared, but some of these boys who are younger than I are really suffering. Dont tell Mom.

Shields was a graduate of Roosevelt high school, and, previous to joining the Army, helped his father on the farm. He enlisted in the Army the latter part of September, 1949. He was first stationed at Ft. Ord, Calif., and than at Camp Stoneman, before leaving for overseas duty last January. Eleven days later he reached Okinawa, where he was assigned to the infantry. He was with the 20th Infantry Regulars at the time he was reported missing. He has four brothers and a sister, Gordon, Salt Lake City; Joseph, Gary, and Jerry Shields, Bridgeland, and Mrs. Norma Hansen, Mt. Emmons. . Studont Physical Procedure Chanced The method of procedure for, taking ,schopl, physical examinations, required for first, fourth, seventh, and tenth grade students throughout Duchesne county, has been changed. Instead of picking up examination forms from the Board of Education office, the principals of schools, or the county health nurse, as in the past, students may now acquire forms from the offices of Drs. R. V. Larson and Paul Stringham, Roosevelt, and Dr. Zabriskee, of Duchesne, where the examinations can be taken for $2 each. This change in procedure has been worked out through the Board of Education, the Uintah Medical association, and the county nurse, Mrs. Clyde Deep Crook Hoad Now Being Oilod The hazards connected with tities was produced at Carter Oil companys Ute Tribal No. 1 one of U.

As Duchesne countys main industries are livestock and field crops, entries in these departments are especially urged, so that all may see the quality of products raised in this area. In the past, prices paid for livestock have ofcounty-raiseten topped the market.
