Contrary to the initial report released then, the economic loss to small grain producers appears to be much heavier than anticipated. Now that grain harvest reports are coming in, it is apparent that some fields have suffered up to 80 reduction in yield. Most are not this high, but many are in the 50 region. While corn was hit very hard, most fields recovered. The loss of yields in corn cannot be gauged as accurately as those of small grains. A lot still depends on how long before our first killing frosts. DeVon F. Andrus Utah State University Extension Agent BLM A check for $2,378,528.32 has been mailed to the Utah State Treasurer from the U.S. Bureau at Land Management as the states share of federal government Income in mining, grazing and land and material sales. William G. Leavell, BLM acting state director for Utah, said the amount was nearly a quarter of a million dollars more than the amount paid by BLM to Utah a year ago. Of the total, $2,312,445.42 represented the state's share of bonuses, royalties and rentals received by BLM between (Weber, Davis, Salt Lake and Utah Counties) which has distinguished itself by: 1. Evidencing initiative and ingenuity in operating the en- terprise. 2. Utilizing local materials and labor. 3. Overcoming obstacles in marketing and transportation. 4. Contributing materially to the economy of the area and the State. Mr. Wiles was stopped waiting to make a left hand turn when the cattle truck driven by Mr. Thalman hit into him from the rear. Mr. Wiles had turned his wheels, which on impact from behind, sent him intothe opposite lane of traffic, causing the diesel to hit him. The diesel trailer was traveling north at approximately 50 miles per hour, but turned out and came to rest in a roadside pasture. Damage to the diesel was very high with extensive damage to the frame, engine and body. Mr. Wiles truck was a total loss.

Basic Educational Grants which do not have to be paid are available to quaback lified students entering approved universities, community junior colleges, vocational schools, technical institutes, and hospital schools of nursing. Public and private, profit and non-proinstitutions are included under the profit gram. The Basic Educational Opportunity Grants will not solve all the problems of financing higher education, but they will help get the student through the door in the first place.

Coach Bill Jones expects this to be the best year ever for football at North Sevier. According to Coach Jones, We have an enthusiastic and open bull elk hunt. Division of Wildlife Resources offices sold about 25,000 open bull permits this year, compared to about 15,000 permits sold in 1972. The Board of Big Game Control established elk seasons last June before the meat shortage developed. The open bull elk hunt has always been a recreational hunt with low hunter success, as was pointed out on permit applications, and was not designed to supple- - ment meat needs. Hunting pressure is ex- to be greatest on the of the Uinta Mountains where the season opens early, September 22. Limited access roads and heavy timber make this area very difficult to hunt, especially for the inexperienced nlmrod. Sportsmen who like to avoid crowds are encouraged to wait until the general opening September 29 when more easily accessible areas become available. Division experts also encourage hunters to choose one area, become familiar with it, and pected north slopes stay there. Movement from one area to another will lessen chances of success, according to game biologists. Bull elk are characteristi- cally solitary and secretive during the fall months. Most will seek dense cover and remain there during daylight hours. It requires a lardy, persistent hunter to force the animals Into openings or stock them in dense cover. Biologists stress that the bull hunt will not hurt since breeding will have previously taken place. biologically Utahs elk resource, s |
