MALDER'S SOD & FERTILIZING Call for fra astimatas. 376-177- 2 and Phil Appraisers Differ on Value Of Land at Antelope Island Land appraisers have placed the FARMINGTON value of Antelope Island at $8.2 million and $4.1 million in the trial which began last week to determine how much the state of Utah should pay for the island which it is seeking to obtain through condemnation. The trial is being held in 2nd District Court in Farmington and could finish by Friday, according to Edward W. Clyde, the attorney for the Anschutz Corp. of Denver which currently owns the island. Anschutz is seeking to keep the price of the island high enough that the state could not afford to buy it. Dale Jackman, an expert witness for the Anschutz Corp., testified last week that the island was worth $350 per acre or $8.2 million. Testimony Monday from John Brown, an expert witness for the Owell family of Denver who sold the island in 1972 to Anschuzt, set the islands value at $4.1 million. The Owells included a clause in the sales contract that if the island were sold under condemnation for a state park the family would get half the sales price. The hearings this week are expected to include testimony from more expert witnesses on the worth of the island based on differing descriptions of the islands assets. Judge J.

WHITING Urban Horticulturist U.S.U. Extension Service FARMINGTON One of the signs of a good gardener is that he composts his lawn clippings, leaves and plants residues instead of having the trash man haul them away. Soils in this area are typically sandy and in need of organic matter to increase the water and nutrient holding capacity or sticky clays which can best be improved by the addition of organic matter. Composting is also the easiest way- - to dispose of'garden refuse. Good compost is dark, friable, partially decomposed organic matter, similar in nature to the organic matter in soil. As a soil amendment, compost improves both the physical condition and fertility of the soil. It is especially useful in soil low in organic matter, as found locally. The organic matter in the compost makes heavy clay soils easier to work by binding the soil particles together. Such aggregation of the soil particles helps improve aeration, root penetration, and water infiltration, and reduces crusting of the soil surface. This improvement is seen over a period of years when composts are added on an annual basis. Yearly application of compost is also the best solution for sandy soils, helping it retain larger amounts of water and nutrients. Although compost contains nutrients, its greatest benefit is in improving soil characteristics. Therefore, it should be considered a valuable soil amendment, and not a fertilizer, since, in most cases, U NO RETURNS REG. additional fertilization will be necessary to achieve maximum growth and production. Compost is also valuable mulching material to use around garden and landscape plants. Many types of organic materials can be used for composting grass clippings, leaves, hay, straw, weeds, manure, sawdust, and many kinds of plant refuse from the garden. Twigs should not be used because they decompose very slowly. It is best not to use diseased plants from the flower or vegetable garden for composting. Also, it is best to avoid composting weeds heavily laden with seeds. Most garbage may also be used in the compost heap, with the exception of grease, fat, meat scraps, and bones. Compost piles are generally made by layering the materials, which provides for quicker and more complete decomposition. The organic matter is generally spread 2 to 6 inches deep. Over the material Then sprinkle some nitrogen fertilizer such as add 1 to 2 inches of soil, manure or compost. Continue layering in same manner. Compost piles are easily contained with fencing, bricks, lumber, etc. The compost pile must be kept moist but not soggy for proper heating and decomposition. In our climate it is often necessary to water the pile weekly in the summer. The decomposition process will be faster with occasional mixing or turning. Compost is ready for use when it is dark, crumbly and much of the original identity of the material is lost. The finished product should have an earthy smell. Normally, compost will be ready in 4 to 9 months, depending on type and size of organic materials used, weather and care.
