BY BRUCE JENNING The men and women involved in the Utah turkey industry will gather at Snow College Wednesday and Thursday for the annual Turkey Short Course. Bonanza Power Plant conies on line soon BY BRUCE JENNINGS Manti's part ownership of the Bonanza Power Plant 30 miles south of Vernal could begin to pay off in February. That's when Bonanza is expected to go on line, with delivery of electricity to Deseret Generation & memTransmission bers. One of those members is the Utah Municipal Power Association, which includes Manti, Provo, a Springville, Mona, Nephi and Levan. co-o- p Deseret is still testing the Bonanza coal-fireplant and its transmission facilities, Galen Christiansen, Manti City councilman and UMPA board member said. Theyll attend sessions and workshops dealing with production, marketing disease control, research and other topics of interest to the producers of a crop that has Sanpete County among the top ten turkey growers in the nation. The short course will open with Wednesday registration at 8:15 morning in the Snow College auditorium. Miles "Cap" Ferry, Utah's Commissioner of Agriculture, will be the keynote speaker at the first general session. During that session, Richard Olson, an Ephraim grower, will give the National Turkey Federation report and John Hall, a Norbest executive, will discuss next year's allotment to Provo City for some of Provos Colorado River Storage Project electricity. And UP&L is required by law to wheel CRSP power over its lines. Manti City had to buy a small amount of UP&L peak power in December, but is now getting enough CRSP electricity, in addition to the small amount generated by its upper hydro plant, to take care of its customers. One reason Manti will benefit from its membership in UMPA is because of a high finance transaction that only a Wall Street banker could explain. sub-statio- Manti will still benefit, from Its participation, Mr. Christiansen said, because it can trade its Bonanza The statewide campaign against grasshoppers will foliage-destroyin- g be resumed this summer, but in Sanpete County the campaign will be muted because last year's spraying was so effective. acres were Around 100,000 sprayed with malathion in Sanpete during the summer of 1985, said Tom Reeve, county extension agent, who coordinated the eradication program in several counties. "We got most of the insects before season," Mr. Reeve their said. egg-layin- g According to Mr. Reeve, the heaviest infestations were on range lands, although some crop land was also damaged. In Flat Canyon, he said, the infestation was very heavy. On some grazing lands, Mr. Reeve said, the insects devoured foliage plants down to the stems and they invaded some grain and alfalfa fields. Last years spraying involved federal, state and private lands, with the federal and state governments providing much of the funding, but private land owners required to share land. in the cost of treating their Some Sanpete areas will require spraying again this summer, Mr. Reeve said, and he'll be holding meetings to get the program underway. Before the treatment can begin, ranchcis must put $1.33 per acre for the spraying of private land. The private land must be within a designated spray area. Those areas must be at least 10,000 acres in size. The spraying program is planned mainly to protect private and public rangelands, Mr. Reeve said, but farmers who have land within a designated zone can also participate. One site in Sanpete County had more than 100 grasshoppers per square yard, Mr. Reeve said. That kind of infestation can eventually kill forage plants. Eight hoppers per square yard can result in economic damage. Neighboring Juab. Millard and Sevier counties were also hard hit by the insects. Tooele County, the which had the heaviest damage, received designation as a disaster area. Outstanding students d is given, As soon as the sometime next month, the Bonanza power will begin flowing down the transmission line in Salt Creek n in Mona. Canyon to a The UMPA towns will pick it up there. Manti will probably not share in the early delivery of the Bonanza electricity. That wont happen until the Federal Regulatory Energy Administration decides whether or not it will require Utah Power & Light to deliver the Bonanza power to Manti over its lines. afternoon session will be devoted to reports on research at Brigham Young University and Utah State University. Twelve different turkey products will be featured at the smorgasbord banquet Wednesday night at 7 in the Dr. cafeteria. Doyle college Matthews will be the emcee and the Snow College music department will provide the program. The Thursday morning session will have Frank Cook of Moroni Feed Co. discuss the feed outlook for 1986. Other presentations will deal with new equipment now available to producers. Dr. Robert Wamick, director of Snow Field Station, is serving as general chairman of the short course. He explained that while the course is presented for the benefit of the states growers and others involved ir the turkey industry, the general public is also invited to attend. The Statewide grasshopper battle will be resumed this summer 1 Manti High School names Top Templars The transaction had Deseret Generation Sc Transmission selling its Bonanza plant to Shell Leasing, a subsidiary of Shell Oil Co., for S664 million and then leasing Bonanza back for $50 a million a year. Shell gained several tax advantages and DG&Ts customers electric bills will be 15 to 20 percent lower because of the transaction. Mantis share of the savings will depend upon how much Bonanza power it uses. The Manti High School faculty has named two members of the senior class as the second quarter Top Templars. The Top Templars are chosen on the basis of scholarship, citizenship, in leadership and participation to Principal activities, according Lynn Patterson. CRSP electricity has been more abundant recently because of the increased water Mr. supply, Christiansen said, but in time Manti will have to depend more on the power its hydro system produces and Bonanza purchases. Selected for the honor were Dana Cox, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Cox, Manti and Glen Squire, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Meade Squire, 'f Ephraim. Miss Cox is secretary of the Manti FHA chapter and attended the FHA national convention ir. New Mexico as a delegate. She is a member of the yearbook staff and the chorus and band. Mr. Squire is a member of the football, basketball and baseball teams, senior class president, a Sterling Scholar and a member of the National Honor Society. Dana Cox h Gian Squlra |
