They have been watched over the years and monitored for disease and insect infestation. For the average citizen, the station appears to be one big garden. But the plan is more By MARK D.

Mr. Whiting said, "Last year hat tomatoes grow best in our climate, and see the most brilliant and colorful flowers for a hundred miles. It's really no ecret. The Utah State University Exten- sion Office started an experimental agricultural station In Farmington we planted and tried 52 in 1920. Back then, the whole idea was to plant different kinds of trees and see if they could grow in the Utah climate. of tomatoes." With this kind of constant exvarieties perimentation the department ts always aw are of Utah's agricultural capabilities. In another area, the station personnel have planted every imaginable type of shrubbery so that the incoming residents can see what looks best and grows best in the county. Hundreds of huge trees, planted in the 1920s, are a constant reminder to visitors that their backyard oaks and spruces are a part of Utah heritage.

Jokingly he said, "If Carter would have gotten the hostages out of Iran, there would be fewer gardens." He emphasized that a lot of people are panicking ab- out the economy and want the security of being able to grow their own food. . I WITH SO many "first time farmers coming into view, Mr. Whiting said a major problem emerges. A lot of them are sincere in their effort to garden, but they dont know what to plant, how to plant it and especially how to take care of it once it is in the ground. This is where the extension service comes in. Under the direction of USU and the federal government, the Farming-to- n office gives advice to anyone who wants to learn about agriculture at home. But the counseling isnt necessarily verbal. ANYONE OF any age can visit the experimental station any day of the week. And this is where Mr. Whiting says "we can show people how to plant just about anything. He stressed that in the last couple of months the extension service phone has been ringing constantly, people asking why their flowers died, why their cucumbers didnt grow as well, why the grasshoppers are so bad this year, and a thousand other problems. FORTUNATELY, the service has been experimenting with different kinds of plants and vegetables since the mid-- 1 950s and they know what will and will not grow in Utah. Mr. Whiting emphasized that his department concentrates on items important to the home gardener or landscaper who needs day to day information about certain plants and shrubs. counties, which means an avcalls a day. erage of People have to realize that they might have to wait in line, he noted.

Mr. Whiling said every year the station has an open house on Labor Day with a large turnout. But a lot of people don't even know the service exists, he noted. "They know BEFORE THE end of the summer. or by the beginning of next summer, Mr. Whiting said he hones his office can finish a lour pamphlet. He said there just isn't enough time to give everyone the place is here, but they don't think they can visit."

It goes without saying. Same Fe Magazine ts Head Counselor Gordon ' Christensen. The average stay is about 6'j months, but Mr. Christensen notes that some stay two years, others two days." The ultimate hope, though, of the two men, is that the boys will be able to learn a trade they can use later in the eyes in life. THE JOB Corp is located near the mouth of Weber Canyon, a large operation with sleeping quarters, kitchen facilities, construction vehicles, a school, bricklaying stations, cement finishing rooms and a medical dispensary completer with dentists and doctors. and parents as well send their children to the project, hoping, according to Mr. Christensen, that the Corp is a better alternative than shipping the boy to some legal detention school. ADMIN. Hufteling said that after the boys leave, "some are qualified to go into the service, because of the trades they have learned at the Corp. Unfortunately, Hufteling said, some are never traceable. The entrants are watched carefully. According to Mr. Hufteling, the Department of Labor screens the boys first hand before they are accepted by the Weber people. Than, after the entrants are assigned to the project, the screeners are required to follow their prog- ress, not only while they attend the Weber Corp, but even after they have left and are on their own. MR. HUFTELING said that because the organization if federally supported, the government wants to know, demands to know what has happened to the boys and whether or not their stay at the Corp Corp entrants can be in a great deal of trouble, he added. Once a boy gets out of the . job corp, having completed both an educational and trade related course, he is supposedly ready to enter the regular work forces. But some problems exist, according to Mr. Hufteling. "Sometimes after they get out, he said, "they don't thing they have to do anything, that the jobs will just be there for them. these situations are a minority in number, though, and added enthusiastically the the Weber 94 percent placement record. Placement bothers all of us," Mr. Hufteling said, irritated that the placement statistics they receive show gradu- -' ates working in service trades Corp has a like restaurant cooks, bus boys, rather than union trades like carpentry and bricklaying. IT TURNS me off to see the list," Mr. Hufteling said. "But we HE ADDED that a lot of the boys do eventually get the positions they are seeking, but some have to wait years. In the meantime. Hufteling said the graduates take another less related job just to make some money and support themselves. "When a youngster is set out as a carpenter," the adm- inistrator said, "he isnt guaranteed a job," emphasizing the need for the boys to be able to handle interview after interview until they succeed. "But everybody now knows, Hufteling added, that an In- terview doesnt necessarily mean a job." MR. CHRISTENSEN said cant guarantee the kids a job, we can only offer them the training. He and Christensen both agreed that the government, who spends about $2 million on the project every year, is worried about the placement averages and therefore wants quick statistics. If it takes two years, they want to prove the the job corp helped get the boy ajob, Hufteling said, adding that most of the kids, if they want to work, can get a job some- where. MR. CHRISTENSEN, who watches the statistics as well, said that in the last ten years 75 percent of all the students there who studied and worked on union trades did get jobs in Layton Canal Back On TracEt The Layton LAYTON Canal extension from West Point to Layton is apparently back on track after an informal agreement was reached be- tween Weber Basin Water Conservancy District officials and the Davis County Commission.

Shepherd Family Holds Reunion The Shepherd family reunion was held tn larimngton from July 24 until July 27. The first meeting was held tn the evening with genealogy the subject. The family has Been Involved in a five year project to complete the Shepherd family history. Copies of the history were sold at the reunion and a res ew of the history was given By Eula Gonct Bar- nett. THE HISTORY Begins with David Shepherd in the Revolutionary tkar and covers three generations of the Shepherd family. Samuel Shepherd fought in the War of 1812 and w as captured by the British. In 1830 he migrated from Vermont to Ohio and took his family to Missouri during early church days in that state, later went to Nauvoo. III. His family crossed the and came to Utah in the !lams 1847. In 1851 Samuel and his family went with a church group to colonize in San Bernardino. Calif.

This concluded the reunion and family members had enjoyed many special experiences and a vrery enjoyable few days together, kj the boys are accepted by the union, the union is responsible for placement, and "the union does a better job (placement) than the state can." BOTH MEN are happy with the cooperation the unions have given the corp over the last 15 years, Mr. Hufteling emphasizing that "without union trades, the job corp would have fallen apart years ago." Mr. Christensen, whose counseling job offers a look at boys from all over the country, said he has seen a lot of the entrants go on to better jobs because of the corp. He specifically recalled one boy several years ago who came to the service with nothing, learned to operate some heavy equip- ment there and is now working as a foreman on a chemical project near Salt Lake City.

He also received a leadership merit achievement certificate in recognition for his personal example and service to the school community. Referred to by High School Principle James Kesson, as a young man with tremendous drive and one which would be sorely missed in leadership at the school, Jaron also was presented a membership to the National Honor Society by virtue of his excellent scholastic grade average through the past two years of study in the International School. JARON, IN addition to these achievement awards, was also recognized for his part in two teams comprised of five students each, which rep- resented the school at the MUN (Model United Nations Debate Council) in Amerster-daHolland both in the year 1978-7- 9 and 1979-8The first year Jarons team won first place in the political debates of a worldwide nature among 1 10 world participating schools from all over the world.

The Copenhagen International High School was the only school out of the entire 10 schools to receive an excellence" rating for both teams at the same time in the year 1 1980.
