Nov idMMMA 18.1992 Christmas tree cutting permits are now on sale This year can be purchased at Don's Texaco Christmas tree permits are available again this year from the Fishlake National Forest. These permits allow individuals the opportunity to cut a tree from the National Forest for their personal use; they cannot be resold. For many families, the adventure of traveling to the Forest and cutting their own tree has become a trad lUon. In addition, the removal of the trees helps keep the forests thinned out in some areas, allowing other trees to grow larger, or it opens up areas that provide forage for wildlife and livestock. All personal use permits sell for $5 each, and they must be picked up in person. Mail orders and phone requests are not accepted The permits must be securely attached to the trunk of the harvested tree and remain with the tree during transport Most species of tree on the National Forest may be cut, except pondcrosa pine.

The First organization we have selected is the FFA Future Farmers of America. The FFA at North Sevier High has been busy since school began doing many things for the community as well as giving NSHS a good name when they go to various competitions. Each year an Awareness Day held for elementary school stuis dents, with animals and tractors being provided by FFA members. This gives younger students a chance to see up close and personal the different aspects of agriculture. The FFA has been and is still maintaining their Adopt a Highway project. This year they had 25 Freshmen helping with the project. The FFA was very active during Homecoming Week. They built a float, painted a w indow and bmlt the bon fire as well as rode their horses in the parade. One of the biggest showing of school pride was the NS constructed under the scoreboard on the football stadium. This was a project taken on by the Ag Mechanics class and everyone who has seen it is pleased.

The More the Merrier The telephone line was filled with these tiny birds busily chattering to each other the other evening. Every strand of telephone wire was inhabited by a noisy little fellow. Whatever it was they were chatting about must have been of utmost importance. the yard work before you put away that hoe Time to finish up We have finally had some hard frosts. Not that I was really looking forward to the demise of all but the hardiest plants, but it had to come sometime. Now we need to finish up preparing the yard for winter. I notice my lawn has not grown much since I cut it two weeks ago. If daytime temperatures remain below 50 degrees there will be almost no growth before it turns brown, so now is the time to give that final mowing. This is the time to cut it really short - not clear to the soil, but short. I always find that I accumulate two to three umes as much clippings from this cut as any other time. So what shall we do with all that cut grass. Whatshallwedo with all those leaves that are still falling? What shall we do with all the garden debris? Burn it? I hope not - that should be the last thing we would want to do with it. Grass wont bum very well, but there are inevitably piles of smoldering leaves around. Smoldering piles of trash dont bum well and produce a lot of problem com-- bustion products such as particulate matter and hydrocarbons. Particulate .matter consists of microscopic particles that if inhaled may lodge in the lungs and cause respiratory problems. Hydrocarbons are the products of incomplete combustion and include various chemicals that cause irritation to eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Some are known to cause cancer. the size of that waste stream is to leave as much of our yard waste in the yard as possible. A little extra organic matter will not hurt most of our soils and may even be of some benefit. The mineral nutrients that are in the waste are essential for the growth of next year s grass, petunias and tomatoes. Leaves, clippings and dead but otherwise healthy flower and vegetable plants can all go into a compost pile or be tilled directly into the soil. Compost can serve many purposes in the yard. It can be used as mulch, added to garden and potting soil, or spread on lawns as top dressing. Lets save our pocketbooks and our health. Think about using your yard wastes in a constructive way.

The They eatmore than 28 pounds of turkey each during the year. Red meat production is limited in Israel and the price is high. Turkey is an ideal production item because of the e ratio, and the high Israelis look for efficient meat production. Major turkey producing states are North Carolina, Minnesota, North Arkansas, and California. Carolina leads the list and in 1992 will produce about 62 million birds. For those of us fortunate enough to live in rural Utah, the pollution problems associated with such burning are not as great as in areas where the population is much larger. However the problems do exist. This is not to say that there are not some legitimate reasons for some burning. In some agricultural situations it is sometimes necessary, but far more may want to consider not burning fence rows and ditch banks. If left unbumed over the winter they provide valuable habitat for small game animals. Burning leaves, however, is seldom necessary. On the other hand bagging the leaves up and sending to the landfill is not a very happy alternative. Yard waste accounts for a significant part of the volume in our landfill which is rapidly filling up and you know what that means.
