We hear reports that a moun- tain lion was seen on Blue Mountain last week. In a recent ride on the mountain, we saw two lovely young deer fawns by the side of the road they just stood and watched the car as it passed. The kids were thrilled to see a real deer in the wild. Dee and Melba Black had 29 of their grandchildren and children here over the weekend. Some from California and others from Some of the northern Utah. and grandchildren had never seen much of this part of the country. They saw sights from the Blue Mountain, the Natural Bridges, Muley Point, the Goosenecks and far enough to see Mexican Hat. They all had dinner at the park and a weiner roast out in a cave. Seems like most people with gardens this year are complaining of an invasion of grasshoppers. San Juan Farm Bureau tackles marketing by Kim Christy UFBF Regional Manager Though marketing is one of the most fundamental aspectsofpro-ductio- n agriculture, many Utah farmers and ranchers feel they are at a disadvantage when they go to the marketplace. San Juan County Farm Bureau President Guy Harris says he and other producers believe we are at the mercy of local buyers, and we believe that other pro- ducers across the state are in the same boat. The San Juan County Farm Bureau decided to try to turn their boat in a different direction summary Crop-weath- er With the first half ofthe years growing season over, most crops condition. were in Winter wheat, by the weeks end, was 80 percent in the head stage, with about 40 percent turning color, (that is, beginning to turn fair-to-go- yellow). od About three-fourt- hs of the spring wheat had headed out. Barley was 80 percent along; and the oats crop was about 50 percent. Making of the first crop alfalfa hay was virtually completed. New hay quality was older fields tended to be weedy. Yields were also except in areas where water was not available. good-to-excell- ent, good-to-excell- ent, Sweet cherryharvest,alongthe Wasatch Front, was gaining momentum. Fruit size was good with an excellent sweet flavor. Picking of tart cherries and apricots should foUow in about one to two weeks. Soil moisture on nonirrigated pastures and rangelands was waning. Range feed, in areas now in use, was adequate except in southern Utah where moisture was sorely needed. Infestations of grasshoppers were increasing. Reports came from as far south as Beaver County and north into Box Elder and Cache. Cache Valley reporters say zillions of little ones were moving onto alfalfa and grain fields. Sanpete County principals report as much as 30.000 acres of rangeland and 10.000 acres of cropland involved.

Each extension office has available to localproducers computerized information containing market prices throughout the country. According to Harris, that information not only could help producers make more m arketing decisions, but could influence prices from local buyers. But few producers knew about the service. To help make county Farm Bureau members aware ofUSUs marketing information service, the county Farm Bureau teamed up with San Juan county extension agent Bob Thompson. Thompson spoke at the annual spring FB banquet, describing the service and encouraging the members to use it to their advantage. He also presented the information to the countysboard of directors. - - v Harris hopes those steps, and others planned for the future, wiU help county Farm Bureau members be more aware of the service, and is urging them to make use of the USU information, After all, says Harris, USU has provided a good service. It would be senseless for us to ignore it.

Upon investigation, I learned that the Summer Experience program is a fascinating, funpacked adventure that combines college classes with a variety of experiences offered each summer since 1979 by CEU-Sa- n Juan Campus. Core classes are combined with electives, which will fill general education requirements for an associates degree, and are transferable to any accredited college or university. The program varies each summer and offers from 14 to 17 credit hours. A typical Summer Experience curriculum might include Natural History of Southeastern Utah; Contemporary Issues, Human Values; Southwestern Anthropology; Fine Arts and Cultural Events; Natural History Utah Excursion; and River Run and Backpacking. The students register for the entire block of classes and then get ready for an exciting summer of education in the great outdoors. Besides weekly field trips to archaeological sites, the mountain, or the desert, culturally diversified experiences might include visiting Capitol Reef National Park, Bryce and Zions National Parks, Cedar Breaks, Boulders Anasazi Museum, Cedar Citys Shakespearean Festival, Page, Arizonas Navajo Generating Plant, a Katchina dance on a Hop! mesa, or visiting old towns in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Summer Experience is designed to reinforce the education offered in textbooks and lectures by actual exposure to the subject' being studied. For example, courses in astronomy and life science are taught in conjunction with photography while the students hike to remote Anasazi sites or raft the river in search of Southwestern flora and fauna. Classwork during field and cultural trips combine with classwork' on campus to provide another exciting, rewarding experience CttlAJMtPlSMthSanJttinjCeierfptiadvertfaemertt - Oscar Mayer Ham Varioty Pack Mount McKinley pressed which practically towers at the ler Oscar Mayer , 9 oz.$l,69 12 oz.
