Stone told the convention that the recipe for ye St. Regional winners from Ephraim Patrick 's meal Middle School to go to state by Randa Black Contrary to St. Patrick's Day decorations seen this time of year, leprachauns are not an important or even relevant part of this famous Irish holiday. Instead the credit must be given to St. Patrick who was brought to Ireland as a captive at the age of 16. His first six years were spent not an auspicious herding sheep beginning for a man whose death on March 17, 460, would later become the only national holiday observed in Ireland. A beautiful Irish book called The Book of Armagh, is a confession written by him in Latin and gives an account of his mission" in Ireland. And he was a very successful missionary. No blood shed, or martyrs made because of him. In fact, a famous scholar of modern times paid this tribute to him. If with St. Patrick, civilization had not found a refuge in Ireland, no man can say where it would be today. this famous Irish Celebrate holiday with a lamb dinner.

From the desk of your County Agent It may be hard to believe that there are diseases of turf that are active during the winter months. In Sanpete we have damage from gray snow mold and pink snow mold. The heavy snow this past winter has created ideal conditions for snow mold damage. These diseases are particularly damaging when snow accumulates and remains on unfrozen turf. The blanket of snow insulates the snow and temperatures at ground level may remain above freezing, allowing the ' fungi to be active at temperatures from 32 to 65 F. The disease may continue to develop after the snow melts in cool, wet sites. Warm (over 65F.), dry weather halts development. The fungi will then remain inactive until the cold, wet weather returns in the fall. These two diseases can occur simultaneously and usually recur in the same location. The control of the two diseases is different; therefore it is necessary to distinguish between them. Gray snow mold produces roughly circular bleached patches up to two feet in diameter. A gray fungus growth may be evident near the margin of the affected area. Dead leaves are matted together, and sand-graisized brown spherical bodies are embedded in the leaf tissue. The grass plants may not be killed by infections. Gray snow mold is severe when turf is covered by prolonged periods of deep, compacted snow. Pink snow mold produces patches similar to gray snow mold, but in contrast a pinkish cast might be observed on diseased turf under wet conditions. No sclerotia are associated with this disease. Snow cover is not necessary for disease development. Pink snow mold will develop whenever our temperatures are between 32 and 60F. with high soil moisure and high humidity. This fungus will be active in cool, wet weather from early autumn to late al recent art works Osral Allred, distinguished Utah watercolorist and art professor at Snow College, will be exhibiting recent works at Snow College. Part of the show will feature works derived from a trip taken last summer to Norway. Mr. Allred is for his fine watercolors, and is the recipient of many awards including Best of Show" in all categories at the Utah State Fair, the Deborah Weisel Purchase Award in Watercolor USA, Springfield, Missouri, and over 25 other awards. His work hangs in the permanent collections at the University of Wyoming, Utah State University and many private collections. Dont miss this exciting exhibit by one of Utahs finest watercolorists. The show will be on display at the Snow College, Lucy Phillips Library from March 8 until March 31. with a reception at the Library for the artist on March 24, from 7 to 9 p.m. one-tim- d e economic conditions beyond their r control asked for a moratorium and reorganization of Farmers Home Administration. Delegates explained that the farm loan programs of FmHA have become a minor percentage of its total annual loan portfolio. There has been a lack of concern toward economically distressed farm borrowers. USDA failed to use any of Sf00 million authorized under the Economic Emergency Loan program and used only 55 percent of the appropriated funds for operating loan to limited resource borrowers who were legally qualified. In other action, the delegates called for increased funding of the Agricultural Cooperative Service, opposed the dense pack basing plan for the MX missile and requested transfer of the Animal Damage Control program from the Interior Department to USDA to assure protection of livestock resources from excessive predators. one-yea- Ready to attend state science fair from Ephraim Middle School are, back; Kent Bean, Manny Mellor, Scott McNeil and Mark Jacks.

Proper turf management in the fall is important in controlling both of these diseases. Avoid late fall applications of nitrogen fertilizer, since this stimulates lush, susceptible turf. Keep the lawn cut in the fall to prevent a mat of grass from developing and avoid compaction of snow. It may be necessary to make an application of fungicides in areas where the disease was widespread in past years. The best protection would have been a fall application of fungicides. However, there a few steps to reduce the anticipated damage. FirsB: 1. Remove heavy accumulations of snow. This can be done by physically removing the snow or by spreading any dark colored particles on the snow. These particles absorb the heat of the sun and melt the snow. 2. As soon as the snow is melted, remove any heavy accumulations of matted leaves to encourage new spring growth. 3. the damaged areas. 4. Remember fall protection strategics for next year.

NFU delegates adopted policy resolutions recognizing the harsh economic conditions confronting family agriculture. Delegates urged Congress to adopt legislation for a minimum price on commodities under the PIK program, to protect against further depression in market prices and allow orderly marketing. They also called for including other farm commodities such as barlev under PIK.
