Tales Kim Black ; Utah milk is safe says Dept, of Ag. Following recent reports of contaminated milk in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri, Utah Dept of Agriculture officials told consumers they are confident that Utah milk is safe because of their constant surveillance. Hie pesticide heptachlor has been found in milk samples in levels above the Food and Drug Administration's tolerance in these three states. Milk from the six farms has been embargoed. All of Utahs raw milk coming from the producer to the manufacturer is checked for pesticides regularly. "We have had no indication of any pesticide in any of Utahs fluid milk in years, said Jay ; Brown, Supervisor for the Food and Dairy Division. FDA is checking with the states for signs of contamination. Apparently animal feed contaminated with the pesticide heptachlor has been sold to growers in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri. Heptachlor is a pesticide used to control the alfalfa weevil. I has not been sold in Utah since 1974. 1 was taken off the market to the general public. Utah milk producers continue to produce a very high quality product that is routinely inspected by state and federal inspectors and frequently leads the nation in its compliance to safety standards. Splake now caught at Fish Lake Fishermen are starting to catch a few splake trout, a hybrid cross between lake trout and brook trout, at Fish Lake. According to Dale Hepworth, fisheries manager, the DWR stocked fingerling splake about 4 inches long for the first time a year and a half ago. The larger fish caught average about 10 inches and are just now beginning to be caught by fishermen. Growth has not been fast, but could improve once splake grow to about 12 inches and start to eat other fish as part of their diet. The biologist is encouraged by signs that fish have survived well, but cautioned that good fishing for splake might still be another year away. While most anglers fish typically in 60 to 100 feet of water at Fish Lake, splake are caught more readily in 0 feet of water, right along with rainbow trout. Anglers caught splake and rainbow with worms, meal worms and small jigs. Some traditional bait for rainbow such as cheese or salmon eggs, may not work well for splake. The ice is safe and should remain so for another month, but anglers are cautioned to be careful. Access is still by snowmobile or four wheel drive. without water for almost a week and without food for much longer. The Right Way in a Wrong World!

Reduction would mean complete elimination of the Extension nutrition program, which is slanted to low income groups; complete elimination of the farm safety program, pesticide management, pesticide training program, and other areas related to farm financial management, Larsen explained. We have had a 120 year history of a federal-stat- e cooperative pro- - gram, the land grant movement. strengths of the U.S. is that we dont have a local agriculture or a state agriculture, we have a national agriculture, and the whole country has benefited from it, he emphasized. I think its very clear that those programs, such as Extension, ag Spring and summer streamflow forecasts have been reduced from last months forecast, according to the National Weather Service. The majority of forecasts are still near to much above average, but some exceptions could lead to water shortages by the end of the irrigation season if the dry trend of the last two months continues. Snowpack on Utahs watersheds increased much less than normal in January. January precipitation at mountain stations was 30 to 80 percent below average across the state. Stored water in 25 key irrigation reservoirs as of the end of January was 133 percent of average, and 87 percent of total usable capacity. Prospects for filling are very good again this year in most areas of the state. Water supply forecasts have generally dropped from last months forecast, but remain near to well above average on most streams. Forecasts range from 80 percent for the Virgin near Hurricane, to 346 percent for the Sigurd to Gunnison reach of the Sevier.

The proposed reconstruction will generally follow the existing road. Work will include improving the horizontal and vertical alignment, improving drainage structures, widening the travel lanes to 1 1 feet, and adding shoulders. The travel lanes and shoulders will be surfaced with a hot bituminous pavement. An environmental assessment has been prepared and is available for examination at the U.S. Forest Service offices in Richfield and Loa, at the Utah Department of Transportation District Office in Richfield, and at the Federal Highway Administration offices in Salt Lake City, Utah and Denver, Colorado. A limited number of copies are available upon request from the Federal Highway Administration address given below. A draft Section 4(f) e section of this improvement evaluation for the that lies within the Fish LakeJohnson Valley Recreation Area has been included in the assessment. The proposed improvement will encroach upon the 100-yeflood plains of the Fremont River, Sevenmile Creek, and UM Creek. The proposal will affect wetlands along the Fremont River and Johnson Valley Reservoir, and at the UM Creek and Sevenmile Creek crossings. Corps of Engineers Section 404 permits will be required for the Sevenmile Creek, Fremont River (two), and UM Creek Crossings. It is also likely that Section 404 permits will be required at several locations along the Fremont River where riprap will be used to stabilize the bank.
