These pay- ments will be 18 cents per 14 cents bushel for corn, per bushel for barley, and 29 cerFs (16 cents per hundredweight per bushel) for grain sorghum. Crops from participating farms also become eligible for loans or purchase agreements at the county loan rate, reflecting national averages of $1.07 per bushel for corn, 82 cents per bushel for barley, and $1.71 per hundredweight for grain sorghum. The corn, price support on grain sorghum, and barley will be available only to producers taking part in the feed grain program. The voluntary diversion programs for feed grains and wheat are generally the same as in previous years, the chairman explained. Of a few provisions which are slightly different, the principal one is the payment which will be available to farmers participating in the program in addition to the regular loans and purchase rgreements.

Plans for installing the largest network of aerial tramways in the world in Wasatch Mountain State Park have been disclosed by the Utah Park and Recreation commission. Commissioner Harold B.

THE STATE Park and Recreation Commission now has title to some 20,000 acres of land in the area just west of Midway. The land abuts Deer Creek Reservoir on the south, the Uinta and Wasatch National Forests on the west and Summit county on the north. Fabian said the U. S. Forest Service and other local, state and federal agencies have expressed enthusiastic approval of the proposed state park development. Floyd Iverson, regional director of the U. S. Forest Service, terms the new park one of the most scenic and outstanding spots in America. F. C. Koziol, supervisor for Wasatch National Forest, pointed out that more people visit the canyons just east of Salt Lake City than visit Yellowstone National park. In 1950 only 900,000 people were counted in Millcreek, Big Cottonwood and Little Cottonwood But in 1961 this figr'Tivons ure jumped to nearly two million, more than 400 000 above the head count at Yellowstone. THE SCENIC beauty of the eastern slope, with its alpine forests and panoramic views, has long been known, but access has been limited until the Utah National Guard built road over Guardsmans Pass several years ago.

PARK officials said there Is a possibility Utah can obtain a grant or matching funds from the newly organized Bureau of Outdoor Recreation in Washington, D. C. The Park and Recreation commission will request a $350,-00- 0 appropriation from the 1963 Legislature to begin development of the number one state This request includes park. $50,000 for road improvements. Fred A. Picard, a representative of Von Roll Iron Works in Berne, Switzerland, largest manufacture of aerial transportation systems in the world, said the system in Wasatch Mountain State Park would take two or three years to complete, He said the 31,000 feet of aerial cable in preliminary plans would make the system the largest in the world. At Kennecott, each success in developing better equipment or methods inspires re- newed efforts to improve the improvement. Heres an example. At the Bingham Canyon Mine, after two or three years of ACCORDING to the Initial engineering studies completed by Paul Zuberbuhler of Berne, Switzerland, the tram system would begin at a point about two miles up Snake Creek west of Midway. From there it would climb up to Big Flat and up to Sunset Peak near Mt. Millicent. Then the system would continue down to Alta and Brighton. Both Picard and Zuberbuhler were enthusiastic about the proposed project, declaring, "there is nothing like it in the entire ammonium experiments, nitrate replaced dynamite in most blasting operations. Ammonium nitrate proved more economical and safer. But the problem still wasnt licked. The Utah-produce- d use of ammonium nitrate was limited it couldn't be used in wet ground. So a new round of experiments was started. Right now, experts are testing heavy plastic tubing to see if it will keep ammonium nitrate dry. If it does, thats the answer to the problem.
