Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Thursday, July 22, 1982 - Page 8 Utah farm and crop report little last Farm progress work made good under mostly sunny skies during the past week. Major farm activities included irrigation, weed and insect control, and livestock care. Irrigation water was in good supply over most of the state. Harvest of second crop hay and fall seeded grains is starting in warmer valleys. Second crop hay is generally much better than first cutting. Some insect infestations have been reported, but damage is no more than normal. Barring rains during harvest and curing, both quality and tonnage should be good. Wheat and barley crops are in generally good condition as harYields are vest approaches. Letters (Continued from page 2.) other wood products (corral poles, etc.) in one year. That is a lot of wood. People were asked to cut only dead and down material, yet our local good citizens seem unable to tell a live standing tree from one dead and lying on the ground. $2.50 a cord for wood they figure already belongs to them may be excessive. The problem is that the wood also belongs to me, and 230 million others. I do not feel that $2.50 a cord is too much for my cord of wood going to heat their house. We all think of the Blues as our mountain. It is. It belongs to all of us all 350,000 acres. Those who are complaining so loudly about the abridgement of their freedoms should realize the basic fact of a Democratic society. Their freedom extends only so far as it does not impinge I am not an on my freedom. environmentalist in their sense of the word for I am not quite sure that environmentalist is a four letter word. Care of the land for all to use never struck me as elitist. The Forest Service and BLM lands produce commercial timber, beef, wool and minerals. Everyone in San Juan County is directly benefited from the wealth that is produced on the public lands. Cattlemen pay for grazing rights. Timber producers pay for logs. Mineral operators are asked to pay for cleanup costs. We all benefit from this wealth and its regulation. Federal money is spent on roads, water development reseeding projects, fish stocking, campgrounds and more. All are part of the stewardship of the land. The people of Utah and San Juan county petitioned the Federal government for the establishment of the National Forest and the regulation of the timber and watershed. The people asked for regulation. The resources should be used. Those that are replaceable should be replaced. Maybe the Forest Service will not plant trees to replace those that are cut for firewood. It is a good possibility that some of the funds may be used to replace the many signs destroyed by caring local citizens each year. $2.50 a cord will not pay for the thousands of dollars needed to replace toilets and picnic facilities blown up and vandalized. These are the kind of activities that lead to regulation. I object to my tax dollars going to pay for this kind of thing.

Spring wheat and barley are between 90 and 95 percent headed, and nearly 60 percent has turned color. Com is making good growth in the recent warm weather, but is still behind normal development. The state average height of this years crop is 25 inches. A year ago, the crop was nearly 40 inches high by this date, and 32 inches two years ago.

The heads of the executive (Agriculture, Indepartments terior, etc.) are appointed by the President of the United States to carry out policies set by Congress. F or many years Congress gave citizens living near National Forests the right to $20.00 worth of wood products free each year. Congress has changed its mind. No doubt the letterwriters approve of the current administration. They are not victims of taxation without representation. They are getting exactly what they voted for.
