The consumers do not see these price controls reflected in the price they pay at the grocery store; instead, steady price increases have raised concerns about the middle-man- s profits and questions of violations. Because there are enough cattle ranchers protesting this price control strategy, there is an ongoing investigation which may result in the restoration of market equity between the ranchers cost anti-tru- st and the price one pays at the store. Rasmussons are raising 100 extra head of cattle this year (300 head) because of the abundance of grass in the mountains and on their valley range land. They increase or decrease their herds according to environmental conditions. Shand says that mountain ranges are always left with a 50 grass growth, according to the BLM lease agreement, but this year, even with the increase in herd size, there will be more like 80 of the grass measured at the beginning of the grazing season, buried under the snow this fall. The Mexican ranchers were especially impressed with the husband-wife partnership of the Utah ranchers, as demonstrated with Shand Rasmusson and his wife, Angela. This partnership is uncommon to the Chihuahua area and culture; with the direct involvement of a woman in the ranching business with her husband being still very new. Many times during the afternoon, they noticed Angelas knowledge and hands-o- n work with the function of the ranch, at the same time, caring for two very young children. Their first chance to meet Angela was as she exited the cab of a combine, carrying a young infant. Angela and Shand met in when she was eight years old and he was ten; they were competing in the same livestock show. They grew up through the ranks with their lives revolving around cattle, and in high school, FFA. When Angela attended Snow College, they began dating, and once married, went to Utah State to finish their education. Their ability to work well as a team comes from a love of the ranching life (which is challenging at best) and a mu4-- H 4-- H tual respect for each others knowledge and experience. Randy Parker, of the Utah Dept, of Agriculture said that this three day excursion made a positive impression on these three gentlemen and will result in the establishment of cattle trade relations as the drought pressure in Chihuahua eases.

The new supervisor of the Manti National Forest is Janette Kaiser, one of the first women in a traditionally masculine office. Ms. Kaiser was introduced to the Sanpete County Commission by Tom Shore of the Sanpete Ranger District in a meeting last Tuesday morning. The Commissioners were their usual gallant selves, although since they are involved in the livestock industry in one way or another, they probably have some reservations about Forest Service supervisors. Although supervisor Kaiser has not been long on the job, she evidently has already gained some insights into the situation National Forof the need to provide timber sales for small sawmill operators and the increasing pressure exerted by people who look to the mountain for their recreation. th on the Manti-LaS- al est.

They went on to say that the city plans to chipseal a section of its street system each year as a way of keeping the system in top shape. The Commissioners also materials for the statewide fion management system (the state is putting around $6,800 locally into the system), and the public hearing on a request by Cox Rock Products Inc. that the zoning of several tracts of land in the southern Sanpete area be changed from agricultural to industrial was held. A Cox Rock Products representative said the zoning change would facilitate their operations.

Economic Development Director Joe Blain - who has a knack for acquiring grant money - will have charge of the development of the book. The book will contain both text and pictures and be a useful tool in attracting tourists to Sanpete and persuading them to stay over for a few days, Mr. Blain said.
