Commissioner Ken USU disavowed that said Bailey any support for a program to control prairie dog infestation and that USU raised the issue of danger to black-footferrets as a deterrent to reducing the prairie dog population. Bailey said the county has tried numerous methods and spent considerable amounts to control prairie dogs adding that he objects to attitude of the USU in refusing support for an extensive testing program that County Trailside iS1. 4- and complimented the local state road maintenance crew for their work in the city.

Bailey commented that he does not know anyone who has seen a blacked footed ferret in the county, adding that he is tempted to offer a $100 reward to anyone who can document the presence of a ferret in San Juan. Clisbee Lyman of Blanding defended the Extension Service stating that other services pro- vided by the local office are excellent even though their hands seem to be tied on prairie dog control. In a discussion of weed control, a representative from the Utah Farm Bureau claimed that the Bureau of Land Management, the U. S. Forest Service and the state of Utah are doing very little to control weeds. He said weeds are migrating to treated lands from these sources. We may need federal help to solve the critical problems of weeds and prairie dogs, even though it be unpalatable to may to take on the environpoliticians mentalists, he said. Jim Heaton, weed control officer, told land owners at the meeting that unless neighbors file a complaint, nothing can be done to enforce weed control ordinances. Commissioner Calvin Black indicated that he will contact the chief executive of the USU Extension Service, the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Land Management to discuss measures to solve the problems of weeds and prairie dogs.
