Sunshine Mine Confirms Hiring of 1, 1980 I: Non-Unioni- sts KELLOGG, Idaho (AP) Officials of the nations richest silver mine confirmed they are hirn ing employees in an effort to end a labor dispute, saying Sunshine Mining Co. will not surrender to striking miners. We are hiring new employees and will resume production at the Sunshine mine shortly, Sunshine board chairman and chief executive officer G. Michael Boswell said in Spokane, Wash. non-unio- Any miner keep the harvest high, the little bugs have to be kept to a low. One way of con To trolling the pesky insects is to hire crop dusters like Del Aero Service of Delta. Fliers Stress Need of Crop Dusting Jackson Tribune Correspondent DELTA Spray your hay one way, with the equipment mounted m the bacx of a trucK, and your field winds up looking like a wall map marked only with the latitudes. But if you spray the other way, from the air, make sure you keep your fence posts trimmed to the same height. While summer lasted long into fall and allowed at least some farmers to do their harvesting at a leisurely pace until snow began to be forecast, the insect world had been reaping at a fever pitch since springtime. Of course, a large harvest by those small inhabitants of the fields means a smaller one for any other interested parties. So spraying or dusting is often the most practical ways to keep crops out of the wrong mouths. Cant KU1 Bugs Lots of times a farmer will call me up and say, said Allan Burraston of Hey, I cant kill my bugs, Del Aero Service. The Delta man said spray applied ! from slow, trucks often just sits on the uppermost leaves of the plants. But he said all that changes when he or his partner, Randy Anderson, come in low to attack an infested field in , one of their spray planes. Theres a lot of downwash, Burraston said. It really throws it down hard and makes it go deep. Insects are not the only reason to spray. Farmers who raise alfalfa seed in Millard, Juab, Utah and other counties sometimes contract with flying services to have a defoliant applied. The chemical strips the leaves from the hay stems but allows the matunng seed burrs to remain. Leaves Gog Alfalfa leaves tend to cleg the screening and collecting systems of combines used to harvest the crop. That is why a field of leafless stems will yield more pounds of the tiny seeds than one which has not been sprayed with defoliant. The chemical does not wishes to work for Sunshine will have the benefits of the highest wage scale in the entire Silver Valley, he said. Laveme Melton, inter- national representative of United Steelworkers of Caution: Insects at Work By Russ who retard hay growth the following spring. Of course, if a sprayer were used to apply the defoliant, many of the seed burrs would be land-boun- d knocked to the ground and lust. Low as 3 Feet The spray planes, which fly over the fields as low as three feet and as high as 10, also spray such crops as potatoes and grains for insects. Now that snow is beginning to fall, governmental agencies sometimes hire the fliers to seed clouds with the intent of managing snow accumulations in the mountains. Seeds of grasses and other crops are often dropped from planes on top of the snow to germinate in the spring. And, whenever a large forest or range fire breaks out, fire retardant replaces the insecticide, chemical or seed being carried by the planes. Burraston said this range of farm and forest applications keeps flying firms busy all through the year. But, at least with regard to skimming over fields, the horizon is becoming clouded. Or, maybe, obstructed is a better word. Youre already pretty restricted to what you can do, said Ralph Woodhouse of Spanish Fork Flying Service. Then they start building houses out in the middle of fields. It keeps getting worse all the time. Fanner Complains Woodhouse said another problem is that sometimes a farmer with a field next to the one being sprayed will complain or even threaten to sue when, for example, a breeze blows defoliant from a patch of alfalfa seed to one of growing hay. But Woodhouses brother, Rex, confronted a slightly more pointed problem not long ago as he was flying his sprayer over a field northwest of Nephi. After he landed he asked the owner of the field if he owned a saw. When the farmer said yes and wondered why Woodhouse wanted to know, the pilot joked that his planes rudder wasnt sharp enough to cut through a fence post that happened to be taller than all the rest. There was an ugly gash in the i udder. But, a few minutes later, Woodhouse put on his crash helmet and took off again for the fields. Police Seize Student In Shooting LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) A student was arrested and charged with aggravated assault Friday for an incident at the University of Wyoming where nine gunshots were fired into a television lounge. A spokesman for the Albany County Attorneys Office said Darrel Alan Bell of Casper was arrested Friday afternoon and charged with the Monday shooting No one was injured in the incident, and no motive had been determined, according to UW spokesman Vern Shelton. School officials reported nine shots from a small-calibweapon, aupossibly a tomatic, were fired into a television lounge on the first floor of White Hall Monday night. Three students were in the lounge at the time, authorities said, but none was foreign. Foreign students at some other universities have experienced threats because of the international situation and earlier this month a Libyan student at nearby Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colo., was shot twice in the head. Melton would not outline the latest union pay demands. We have been dismayed at the lack of willingness demonstrated by the union negotiating committee to settle on any basis other than capitulation, BosWe do not well said. believe that demands for unconditional surrender constitute bargaming at all. Melton said the union has filed an appeal with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to force Sunshine back to the bargaining table. America, Local 5089, said a special membership meeting will be held Saturday to "discuss the latest effort to operate the mine with scabs. Melton also said the union has contacted the National Labor Relations Board about the hiring of n employees by Sunshine. s Boswell said the miners who walked off their jobs March 15 rejected a Sept. 20 wage offer of $10.36 an hour. He added that the contract offer included a 73 percent wage increase over its term. non-unio- 500-plu- th A' The dumb dogs dreaming rabbits again. hes chasing Ogden Dedicates Settlement Site By Rick Hassett Tribune Correspondent The first permanent settlement by a white man in the Great Basin has been brought to life at dedication ceremonies for Fort Buenaventura State Park just west of downtown Ogden.
