And the herds of sheep, not long away from Wah Wah and Black Rock, have climbed the Sheep Trail on their way to Duck Fork and the Muddy. The so migration characteristic of the Sanpete scene is now that it's taken for granted almost completed. It means that about 5,500 cattle and 26,000 ewes with about that many lambs, will spend the next three on months Manti Mountain meadows. semi-annu- bald-face- an uncertain business, he claims. d In addition to the herds that summer on the Sanpete Ranger District, Ranger Ben Black says, another 80,000 will cross over the district en route to other allotments. The feed has matured fast on the district because of the warm weather," Ranger Black says. But he explains that summer storms, rather than winter precipitation, will determine how heavy the lambs are that come off the mountain in the winter. And that "if isoneof several that determine how well Sanpete's livestock operators fare from one year to another. The price for wool is up a few cents a pound, Kay Frischknecht, the president of the Utah Woolgrowers' Assn., says, but he thinks the money that the feeder lambs bring in the fall will be down a few cents because Iamb feeders lost money last year. One of the elements that add uncertainty to the scene is the predators. Mountain lions took around 100 head of lambs in Bruce Barton's lambing range in Flat Canyon a few days ago. Losses like that can wipe out your profit margin, he says. His summer herds are on the mountain now one in Gunnison the other around the Valley, Nipple." We'd had a fairly good lambing," he says, but the coyotes and the lions can make the difference. Greg Maylett, whose sheep summer in one of the Frischknecht herds, had an even better lambing, 140 percent he says, which means that a lot of the ewes had twins. If there's one thing the sheepmen are certain of it's that, no matter how tough the predator problem or sparse the grass in the August meadows, theyve got it better than the cattle people. There's no money in beef," one cattleman says, with prices below production costs and no improvement in sight. And he thinks prices could drift still lower, with the federal buy out of dairy cows dumping more hamburger on the market. And both cattlemen and confess to a certain envy, claiming that turkeys are the only bright spot on the agricultural scene. sheep-growe- rs wish I could convert my feed lot into a brooder coop, one of them I commented. 4. ."T- 4' - ' ; JW A tj v7r Bruce Barton aboard his to the summer ranges.

Wednesday night, July 2, was scheduled to be the night on which property owners could protest the proposed improvement district. number of property owners have requested improvement districts be formed in some areas of the town where the city could not find funds in A the budget to make the improvements desired. Property owners may request the formation of special improvement districts to cover such expenditures, by Utah law, if the owners themselves are willing to prorate the costs among themselves. Generally, such improvements as street pavement, gutters, curbs and sidewalks are divided in cost among the property owners on a calculation based on the running foot of privately owned frontage. Two of the special improvement districts are the ones on Fifth North between Main Street and First West, and the one on First South which leads to the elementary school. Fifth Norths improvements, the city feels, are warranted by the use the street receives from traffic to and from the high school and the which fairgrounds frequently creates congested parking condiand pedestrian tions, traffic safety hazards. tie-up- s, About 52 letters have been sent to landowners asking that they remove noxious weeds especially musk from their ground, with thistle generally a "good response, according to Sanpete County Commissioner Keller Christenson.

Commissioner Keller Christenson asked if the area really needed curb and gutter. The area in question is the portion of 500 North where the entrance to the county fairgrounds is located. A drive comes off 500 North and fronts the exhibition building, and another drive leading off that street enters the fairgrounds on the west side of the exhibition building.
