Rcs.-Fai- The Division of Wildlife Resources initiated an extensive land rehabilitation and development program in 1955. The program has included building of fences and roads and vegetative manipulation to improve habitat for wildlife, particularly big game species, according to Lands Development Supervisor Don R. Christensen. Most of the work has been on Division-ownelands, although cooperative work with other agencies to improve game winter range has also been accomplished. "Pinyon-junipe- r stands support very little wildlife. noted Christensen. "Most wildlife is found on the edges of the r forests, where more forage is available. Christensen explained that r are highly competitive species with shallow, root systems that spread outward beneath the trees. This way, they are able to obtain practically all available soil moisture, . robbing it from species that would be valuable as forage. The trees also have evergreen characteristics, allowing them to be active and growing year round. This places any other vegetation at a definite disadvantage, said Christensen. Also, the trees are of little forage value, so wildlife and livestock eat the other plants, strengthening the hold of the d pinyon-junipe- broad-reachin- pinyon-juniper- The demise of the other species deteriorates the area in terms of watershed and forage r value. zones are frequently hit by flash floods due to barren ground between the tree stands. Christensen pointed out that nearly one fourth of the state -is made of .695.000 acres r forests. Of this, only 125.975 acres have been a mere scratch rehabilitated on the surface. Three species are found in the state. The Utah juniper is found statew idc; the single leaf pinyon is on the Basin Range Province, in the southern and western portions of the state; and the double leaf pinyon occupies the eastern areas along the Colorado Plateau Province.

There will be something for everyone in the 1974 Division of Wildlife Resources Utah State Fair exhibit. The exhibit, which annually draws 70 percent of all fair visitors, will have everything from an albino porcupine to a desert bighorn sheep. This year's display will feature various species managed by the Division nongame, small game, big game, fish and tell about ongoing programs for each. Robertson. During the spring months, over 700 instructors were briefed on material for a new training format; and their certificates were updated. Only those instructors are authorized to teach classes this fall. Two new training films have been added to the already existing six. said Robertson. "This will guarantee even more - uniformity between classes Additionally, a sportsmen's display will show contributions made by outdoorsmen to the conservation of wildlife. Live wildlife will include a two fawns and the always popular fish display. Mounted species will include the bighorn sheep, which is being studied intensively; a cougar, which is among the newer managed game species; two golden eagles; and the Abert squirrel, representing nongame wildlife. For those interested in wildlife management techniques. a display on radio telemetry methods will be a must. Radio collars connected to one of the displays will show how biologists monitor wildlife The "beeping" populations. signal, broadcast by a device in the collar placed on various wildlife species, will be heard over speakers. The display will explain the device and tell about wildlife being studied in this manner. As always. Division personnel will be on hand to answer questions and distribute proclamations and other literature, as will sportsmen's r answer to why forests are increasing in the state, several philosophies have resulted. One is that heavy grazing by domestic livestock opened the environment, allowing seeds to be planted and trees to increase. Another is that man's controlling of fires has allowed the trees to multiply. The last is the belief that climatic changes have been r favorable to production. Christensen's theory is a combination of the first two of In huntqr record breaking year in terms of hunting accidents, says Division of Wildlife Resources I raining Officer A. Lee Robertson. The 14 hunting accidents in 1973 were the lowest number ever and a sharp drop from the 126 accidents in 1957 when the hunter safety program was begun. Several major changes in the program this year will hopefully contribute to the goal, noted STATE FAIR EXHIBIT SET rare albino porcupine, of I474's safety program is another throughout the state," he said. A new hunter safety handbook for students has been prepared for the western states. It features hunter ethics, sportsmanship. wildlife conservation, field first aid, survival, game identification and archery, as well as standard firearms handling and hunter safety material. The handbook was edited by a panel of textbook writers and educators to put it on a readability level of 12 and 13 year olds - the average age of hunter safety students. Normally, training takes from four to six weeks. State law requires a minimum of ten hours which include tests and range qualification firing for all persons under 21 years of age who wish to hunt.

John and Abigail Adams were the first to move into the White House, in 1800. while carpenters and bricklayers were still busy with its construction. Jefferson, who enjoyed good company, was the first to invite numbers of guests to dinner, a practice which has become firmly rooted in American tradition. Andrew Jackson, who became President in 1829 and was the first Chief Executive who did not come from an affluent family, established the "log cabin to the White House" legend w hich has become Only in America could its leaders come from other than aristocracy. Indeed, even then, many were scandalized when former "log cabin" associates and friends of Jack-sostayed at the now famous "House" in Washington. In 1848, President and Mrs. Polk introduced a fabulous new invention called gas lighting," replacing the hundreds of wax candles used for illumination until that time. President Arthur installed the first elevator, and Benjamin Harrison introduced electric lighting (in 1889), but the Harrisons were so fearful of getting a shock from the newfangled lights that they didn't dare to turn them on or off.

"The rehabilitation program is not for the purpose of eliminating the trees." stressed Christensen. "Rather, it is meant to provide more forage vegetation for wildlife.
