About 700 to 800 acres will be burned in 1990, while the remainder will be burned in 1992 to fit with gra.mg schedules for the allotments. Shore notes that if the area remains untreated, the aspen will be completely lost. The conifer is not of commercial quality. Loss of aspen w ill greatly reduce the value of the area for wildlife habitat and for livestock grazing.

Some of the gains are obvious, such as jobs and economic growth. However along with the benefits, Sanpete county will receive jurisdiction over all criminal offenses, such as theft, assaults, homicides, etc. that occur inside the prison Utah's FFA complex. Sanpete Sheriffs Department will now be responsible for investigating these offenses and the Sanpete County Attorney will be responsible for their prosecution. Carrying out those responsibilities will cost money - and could mean that more employees will be needed to deal with the new obligations in Sanpete. students gather at SUSC this week More than 600 Utah high school students and their advisors will be in Cedar City March 22 - 24 for the annual Utah FFA Convention being hosted this year by Southern Utah State.

J STONE: Well, okay, plaster. Five students from North Sevier's art class are sculpting be placed inside the main entrance at the high school. Vic Johnston, the art teacher, says the scuplture would cost about $35,000 if a professional sculptor were commissioned for the job. He is asking the public for donations to help finish the wolf. The funds will go to buy paint and a glass case to protect the artwork, estimated cost: about $500. Donators' names will be inscribed on the work. Anyone considering donating to the project may see the wolf by contacting Mr. Johnston at the high school. The class hopes to finish the project in time for the Commissioner's Art Show, near the end of April. Students helping are: Sandy Horne, Mary King, Barbara Williams, Barbara Frederick and Kim Gates. SET IN a wolf to Nuisance wildlife can be problem to residents Gary McKell DWR Conservation With spring just around the comer and trees blooming, thoughts will turn to the garden spot. Depending on where you live, wild animals are also looking forward to your garden spot. They might even have helped you prune your fruit trees during die winter. For the most part, people are tolerant and enjoy the deer, squirrels, and rabbits being around. However, the DWR is often called upon to solve these nuisance wildlife problems. There are few things we can and will do, but we try to convince people to make the effort to protect their own. Providing traps to remove small animals is time consuming, and having to kill offending animals may not always be the answer. Perhaps wrapping the Italian cy- - press with burlap before it is ruined, not planting quite so close to a wash, or looking at a different variety of fruit tree, may prove to be the best answer. A free booklet is available from DWR for those who may be having nuisance wildlife problems. Contact your local DWR officer and request Minimizing Browsing Damage by Deer: Landscape Planning for Wildlife. You really can have wildlife and gardens in the same area. Through cooperation and planning number of wildlife can be controlled and population held within an enjoyable level - your ornamental or garden need not suffer.
