Children had a great time playing in the first snow of the season. Production of all hay is down, but production of alfalfa hay is up al slightly, according to the Utah Statistics Service. Yields are below the 1993 level. In Utah, 1994 all hay producat tion, 2.5 million tons, is down 1 percent from 1993. Yield, at 3.7 tons per acre, is 0.2 ton per acre less than Agri-:ultur- Good Hunters need to develop a code of ethics As the hunter learns the basics of handling firearms safely, he or she must also develop certain responsibilities to the sport. An understanding of wildlife management, game laws and sporting codes is as importantto the hunter as safely handling a firearm. The new or experience hunter must develop a code which will make him a good hunter. This code can be called a hunters ethic. The hunter must follow this code of ethics while he or she is with hunting pals or along deep in the wilderness. Here are six rules compiled by the National Rifle Assoicaiton which should be followed just as closely as the 10 Commandments of Gun cans. 6. I will pass along to younger hunters the attitudes an skills essential to a true outdoor sportsman. Hunting Laws To be a safe and the ethical hunter, you must observe all game laws. These laws are necessary for three basic reason: 1. To insure the safety and welfare of the people. 2. To insure everyone equal opportunity to hunt. 3. To protect and conserve wildlife. Responsibilities A hunter must have a good relationship with the landowners if he wants to hunt somewhere other than public lands. He should always obtain permission from the owner to, hunt. ' If the landowner denies permission, this Safety 1. I will consider myself an invited guest of the? landowner, seeking his permission also conducting myself that I may be welcome in the future. 2. I will obey the rules of safe gun handling and will courteously, but firmly, insist that others who hunt with me do the same. 3. I will obey all game laws and regulations and will insist that my companions do likewise. 5. I will support conservation efforts which can assure good huntAmeri ing for further generations of decision should be respected. Slob hunters are people who dont care how or what they shoot, as long as they shoot something. They have created a problem for the true sportsman by presentation image of the hunter that has stirred a lot of ' emotions. This feeling is our country has become quite strong and it is how up to true sportsmen to present the correct picture of the hunter one who is a true conservaanti-hunti- - tionist By the time you read this we will probably experience some frost that could kill garden plants, if the weather reporters are correct. In any case it will happen soon. What should we do with the after-mat- h of our gardens? Well for sure dont send it of to the landfill, unless , we will get to that in a minute. For the most part old garden plants should be either tilled back into the garden this fall or put in the compost pile. Either way you reap the benefit of the all that vegetative material you have grown this past summer. To throw it away is like taking part of the money you spent on water, seed, fertilizer and your own labor and putting it in the landfill. Actually, it would take up a lot less space. Since you paid to grow all that5 stuff,- - use it 'If you have a lot off woody type material there may be ; some advantage to going the com-- 1 post pile route, since the composing process in a well managed pile is more active and would break it down more quickly. For example, lots of com stalks, if tilled in may still be there next spring. My experience, however, has been that when I pile up my com stalks and run over them, a few times with the rotary lawn mower and then spread them evenly over the garden, by spring there is not much left It is also important to add a little nitrogen fertilizer of some kind if a lot of leaves or com stalks are tilled in. If you are going to till garden refuse and other organic material , into the garden you should limit it to about 4 inches of slightly com- s; . pressed material to till in. If it is mostly woody material like com stalks and leaves you should add about one pound of nitrogen fertilizer per 100 square feet of garden. This is to provide nitrogen for the soil microorganisms so they will not be limited in their work of breaking last year. at 2 nillion tons, is up slightly from 1993. fhe average yield, of 4.2 tons per acre, is 0.2 ton below last year. Harvested acres at 525,000, are 25,000 acres above 1993. ; all 1994 hay proNationally, duction is estimated at 153.9 million tons, up 3 percent from 1993. Alfalfa hay production, at 82.5 million ton, is up 2 percent from last year. 1993. Alfalfa hay production, Growers harvested 685,0000 acres, up 35,000 acres from Macks Packing Co. O) down the organic matter. There are some things to be removed from the garden area and not returned. Those are diseased plants. In the ideal compost pile the highest temperatures would kill disease organism, but not all piles are ideal nor do those temperatures always exist in the whole pile. Consequently, it is a good idea to dispose of diseased plant material. In most gardens that doesnt amount to much. This is also a good time to spread a little fertilizer on the lawn. According to some turf experts, nitrogen at this time of year should not result in a lot of leaf growth but will help it is during the cool season that bluegrass is most actively developing the whole plant Now is when HUNTERS SPECIAL: 1 Dutch Oven Chicken and Mutton Also retail cuts beef steak of spreading into bare spots that developed this past summer takes place. The grass plants are also storing nutrients in die roots that are used for growth next spring. In our area there is not usually enough winter precipitation that loss of fall applied nitrogen is a problem Just apply it at the same rate as durone half pound ing the summer-aboof ammonium nitrate per 100 square feet or the equivalent amount of other fertilizer.
