BLODGETT Davis County farmers face a serious water shortage this summer, but they can still raise normal crops if everyone cooperates, accord ing to County Agent Darrell Stokes. WE HAVENT made any specific requests of farmers he said, yet, but some measures are going to be necessary if each farmer is to have ample water for his crops. And the same restrictions handed out to farmers are going to have to apply to all residents, he said. WINTER snowpack for and ticipated runoff is about normal in the areas that serve Davis County.

TITLE 20 Director Rich Nelson told the commissioners that Title 20 money is available for the aging program and an emergency food contract. Commissioners also signed a donation agreement with United Way, contracting to match the $2268 in funds donated through United Way to finance the county Information and Referral Service. ' The contract the commission signed with Title 20 for funds for the Council on Aging will provide $12,000 in "transportation funds to take the frail elderly to the centers in both ends of the county. MR. NELSON said trans- has money portation been provided previously -- through the county nutrition program, but that money from this funding source has run out. The money will provide drivers for the vans, land overhead and operation costs on the equipment. The contract period is from January to July. Mr. Nelson :said over 250 aging were transported to the center in February. Mr. Nelson as- sured the commissioners that : those who could drive and had pars of their own, would : provide their own transporta-- : I tion. i: HE SAID the program calls ; only for the frail elderly make up from 80 to 90 per cent of the elderly population to be transported to the center for socialization and reassurance." The transportation program service money, : supplied through Title 20 is 75 per cent federally funded with I the state picking up 8 per cent i.of the cost and the county 17 per cent. THE COMMISSION, in signing the contract with Title 20 to provide $3737 in funds to establish emergency food on a e basis to the needy, specified that the program should be closely screened. Carl Chappell, Community Action Program (CAP) Director, whose agency will one-tim- administer the emergency food program, said a cross- checking system will verify that families who receive the food are not receiving assistance through any other agency. IN MOST cases the emergency food will go to old people and families who have been adandoned by their fathers, he said. The funds are to hire an administrator and set up a food donation program in the Bountiful CAP office, he said. A list of county businesses and high school service clubs is being compiled to provide a source for the items that CAP hopes to have donated to the emergency food program. MR. NELSON told commissioners that Title 20 funds cannot be used to buy the food. The money expended will be to provide service and administrative costs. Monthly repuT on the progress of the agraty will be submitted to the Social Service Council, Mr. Nelson said. In other business county commissioners approved $50 for five members of the planning commission to attend a geological conference in Salt Lake City and voted to provide a portion of the funds to send Delene McGarvey of the county health department to a two week course in Denver, THE TRAINING course Mr. McGarvey will attend is primarily funded from a Housing, Education and Wel full-leng- Salt Lake City. IN HIS innovative interpretation of Cervantes classic story of an aging mans battle with an illusionary world, Marks reveals to the audience two realities: The old, defeated Don, seen by the world as a pathetic and comic character, and the world seen by the Don himself, in which he is a man with visions and strengths. What will happen, explains Mr. Marks, is that each time Don Quixote an- ticipates a battle or finds' FOR OFFICES - SHOPS SMALL RETAIL STORES IN LAYTON SHOPPING PLAZA 45 E.

THE COURSE will cover sophisticated aspects of mental health, sanitation and epidemiology. The grant will pay for books and tuition, in addition to supply $60 for a live-i- n fee and two meals a day. The rest of the expenses will be picked up by the County Health Department. also Commissioners authorized John Zippro, Director of Emergency Services, to spend $534 for the of pamphlets printing requested by county residents on what to do prior, during and after an earthquake. Ten thousand brochures will be printed by Carr Printing Company in Bountiful for that cost, Mr. Zippro said. COMMISSIONERS said that printing costs did not have to be bid if the cost is under $2,000. They advised Mr. Zippro to check with the Geological Survey to make sure that information supplied by that agency may be reproduced in the county pamphlet, rk himself in a situation of MEANWHILE, the county agent outlined a few watersaving programs as follows: -- Farmers and backyard growing. Its more difficult to outline what farmers should grow because each farmers of is type operation different, said Stokes. But the same principle of growing high-yielcrops pertains as much to them as to backyard growers. HE SAID more farmers who previously raised tomatoes and sugar beets in Davis County are growing beans, peas and com instead. Sugar beet prices dropped to rock bottom $18 a ton last year - because of high import of foreign sugar. Attempts are being made to reduce sugar imports and this may up the price for sugar beets locally, he noted. d - ON THE brighter side of the agricultural picture, there is a good carryover of feed gardeners should plant more high-yiel-d crops on less land, thus requiring less area to irrigate. grains allowing dairy and beef ranchers to buy feed grains, if needed, now at reasonable prices, Stokes RRIGATE only what the soil will hold through normal seepage.

This can be done by letting it grow and then not mowing. The grass will become dormant (and appear to be dead) if not watered. But if watered only once every month during the summer, the dormant grass will remain alive and return to normal the following year with proper fertilization and watering at that time, the agent explained. GARDENERS HOME should plant high-yiel- d vegetables such as peas, beans, lettuce, radishes, carrots and onions. Tomatoes, corn, BUT THE agricultural picture for grain and all other farm products could change drastically with the serious drought facing all the western states.
