Utah is not alone in this tect lives and property from wildfire. The Division of State Lands and Forestry, USDA Forest Service, and Bureau of Land Managment are bringing on season firefighting personnel several weeks early. We need to be able to attack every wildfire aggressively and The quickly, says Klason. Division of State Lands and Forestrys goal is to control 95 percent of the fire on state and private lands during initial attack, before fires become large and hard to control. Firefighting agencies also have stepped up fire prevention programs statewide. Fire restrictions may be necessary in dangerous situation, says Many other western states are experiencing similar or more severe conditions. All midfire agencies in the West are gearing up for an active fire season. Utah and many parts of the western United States are in the eighth consecutive year of precipitation. The northern half of Utah currently is in moderate to severe drought. The southern part of the state probably will be in drought conditions by mid July. We are asking the public to be especially careful with fire this summer, says Klason. Utahs wildlands are a tinder-bojust waiting for a spark..

They can be attractive, green landscapes full Xeriscapes, or landscapes, are becoming of beautiful plants maintained nt water-conservin- g with practices. Larry Rupp, USU Extension horticultural specialist, offers the following landscape water conservation principles: Good design. Sketch your yard with locations of existing structures, trees, shrubs, and grass areas. Then consider the landscape budget, appearance, function, maintenance, and water requirements. Seek input from landscape professionals to assist you in the decisionmaking process. And practice patience. Implementing your landscape design can be done gradually over several years. Thorough soil preparation. To increase plant health and conserve water, add organic matter to the soil in shrub and flowerbed areas. This increases the soils ability to absorb and store water. Limit irrigated shrub and lawn areas. Use more decks, patios, and mulched areas. Locate turf only in areas where it provides benefits. Use adapted plants with lower water demands. Keep your landscape in tune with the water-efficie- nt natural environment. ft Utah-certifie- TV may be blasting in the other room, but at this moment youre proving an important point about newspaper advertising. It requires your willing participation. And your full attention. Thats a claim that radio and television cant make. And thats what makes newspaper advertising so powerful.

Youre proving our point right now. When people turn to their paper, they turn there with interest. Which means thats where your advertising message needs to be. With all the choices available,, its difficult deciding how best to advertise your business. But everything becomes a little simpler when you remember one rule.
