Show Winter wheat condition good Condition of winter wheat in the county is very good, according to the June 12 Utah Crop Report. There has been no hail damage and 95 per cent is in the boot with five per cent headed. Some wheat mites have been reported but it is anticipated that rains in the last few t I) 11 days might have Atomic blasting may be answer in tight gas fields (V MAJOR BASINS OF THE ROCKY Preparatory field work could begin within a month or so after a decision has been made to go ahead, but the actual experiment could not take place for at least a year. Basically, nuclear stlmula- tion is expected to produce the same results as conventional stimulation, but greatly magnified. In conventional stimula- ' tion, after a well is drilled into a sandstone formation the rock is fractured (cracked) with a fluid under high pressure or by the now seldom used method of ex- MOUNTAIN STATES Bean planting is underway when rains will let farmers work. Some concern that late planting may cause some trouble if frost comes early in the fall. OF THE JAYCEE Junior Golf Tourney Tuesday are here shown with their trophies. Winning golfers in the intermediate division were, from left, Bruce Adams, low net of 182 and Greg Adams, low gross of 78. Veryl Wylie posted the low gross of 139 and Phillip Broderick the low net of 166 in the novice Record Photo division for 18 holes. WINNERS WINNERS OF the Open Division of play in the Jaycee Junior Golf Tourney are shown here. These golfers played last Thursday so that they might leave today for the state junior meet. Chris Leavitt, second from left, scored the low gross of 81 and Doug Boyle, second from right, .scored low net of 86. In addition to Boyle and Leavitt, Jim Wood, left, and Fred Pehrson, right, qualified for the state tourney. Wood shot an Record Photo 83 and Pehrson an 85.
