The Utah Crop and Livestock Reporting Service w ill conduct a survey in later November and early December to develop the answers of how many cattle and calves are on farms and ranches, the number of hogs and expected farrowings for early 1979, and how many acres were planted to wheat this fall. The estimates will be based on survey results from mail questionnaires returned by producers, and telephone and personal interviews with farmers and ranchers. Those contacted will be a small, but representative sample, of all American agricultural producers. A substantial survey response improves the reliability of the data so that the agricultural industry has good reliable estimates on which to base its production, marketing, and storage decisions. Reports on hogs and wheat will be released on December 21 ; data on cattle and chickens will be issued in late January 1979. js&i j' 4MI One of the highlights of the 34th annual Grand National Rodeo, Horse Show, and Livestock Exposition, held at San Francisco's Cow Palace October 5, was the Collegiate Livestock Judging Contest.

Additionally, Senator Hatch voted against efforts by Senator Ted Kennedy and others to eliminate funding for the Armys Civilian Marksmanship Program. The military preparedness program was mandated by Congress back in 1903. Most recently, while serving as acting chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Hatch used probing questions to exhibit the anti-guand authoritarian views of President Carters nominee to head the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, Norval Morris, the NRA said.

Anyone who wants to hear a horror story about child abuse or child neglect should ask a teacher about these things, because teachers know about them, McCarty said. In contrast to implications of the Utah Foundation article, Im thoroughly convinced that teachers are more dedicated now to the teaching and development of kids than they ever have been, the UEA official said. "Teachers have to be that way today because the situation demands it, he said, adding: The teachers of th irty years ago were largely concerned with academic excellence alone. The teachers of 1978 have to deal with each kid's heart as well as that kids brain. McCarty pointed to what he called a misunderstanding of the teachers role that was reflected in the Utah Foundations statement on schools. The statement attributed parent complaints about trends in open and educational methods progressive that have shifted emphasis away from educational "basics. McCarty said: It isn't teachers who decide the curriculum in schools. The people who decide such matters are school administrations and school boards. Its true that some administrations and school boards give a few teachers some input, but this is only minimal. Teachers who seek to change the curriculum to reflect needs they see in the schools are often told, you cannot change the curriculum because this is a prerogative of the district administration and Board of Education. McCarty raised questions about aspects of the report. Many statements in the report were not attributed. Rather, they were linked to unnamed sources such as critics, and concerned citizens. Much of the report was drawn from a magazine article that applied to the national as a whole, not Utah. The research actually performed by the Utah Foundation, the analysis, is based on highly questionable premises, McCarty said. Theres no question that education requires an investment from taxpayers," McCarty said. But thats just, what it is an investment. It's onixhat has paid off for centuries, and will continue to do so. He added, however, that he and other educators recognize that the schools have problems and shortcomings, and that the public has an unquestioned right to complain about them. We do ask that the complaints be based on facts, he said. Drive Center Gerald Cnsmon Too much flour can toughen pastry. If Cream together a half stick of soft bake.

The Utah Foundation "didnt tell half the story in a news release on the cost and quality of school services, a Utah Education Association official declared Wednesday. Dr. Daryl J. McCarty, the UEA official, said the Utah Foundation used "a faulty yardstick to measure the efficiency of schools and failed to consider some obvious reasons for rising costs of schools. The UEA leader noted that the Utah Foundation used scholastic aptitude test scores and related them to a decline in public school achievement. Those tests dont measure achieveand ment, they measure aptitude theres a vast difference, McCarty said. He said that the Utah Foundation "seems to have a blind side when considering school costs. Education doesnt cost, it pays, McCarty said. He pointed to a U.S. Senate study in 1972 of undereducated persons which concluded that each dollar invested in education would have generated $6 of national income over the lifetime of those persons. At that date crime and welfare expenditures attributable to inadequate education were estimated at S6 billion a year and rising. McCarty said the Utah Foundations statement ignored the fact that the states schools are educating far more young people than ever before. In recent years the Utah State Legislature has provided additional funding for educating handicapped students, students from ethnic minorities, expanded school guidance counseling, special programs for gifted and talented students, expanded music programs, and reduced class size. The Legislature has appropriated funds to pay the full cost of school textbooks, the collection of taxes for schools and the skyrocketing costs of utilities, student transportation and Social Security. Many of those items did not improve students test scores one point, because they were not intended to do so, McCarty said. He said another half-tolpart of the Utah Foundations story was the matter of the dramatic social changes during the past decade. McCarty cited the fact that one of every six students comes from a single-paren- t family; the attitudes that prevailed during the years of the drug culture; that $600 million is spent each year on school vandalism; 20 million children live with an alcoholic parent; the growth of child abuse and neglect during recent years. This did a lot of damage to education, and school teachers alone Christmas n The Ephraim weather The Manti weather data is reported each week by data is reported each week Lee J.
