Show Page 4 - Millard County USPS Than 197 Apr 2 Dean Larsen Nominated for National PTA Educator Award Millard Places Delta Utah Editors note: Thanks thanks thanks for all the response we have had for our request for the unique volume of Delta area history published in 1923 and titled simply West Millard County Utah This valued little volume has been rightly cherised by many who love this area as it is full of priceless pictures and written accounts of that The following are two choice tions from that volume River about five miles from Delta and canals run to the townsite and to the farms bordering that townsite which was then called Burtner Later this diversion dam was rebuilt at a point farther up the river offering better natural advantages and enlarged as well as the carrying capacity of the canal’s greatly increased ability to accomodate the addition of' the later system of the Delta Canal Co It is thus seen that Delta is a town of about 15 year’s growth beginning from a mere abandoned box car stuck by the side of the railroad track to a town in 1923 of about 1539 people and different business houses supporting a large beet sugar factory and two seed cleaning plants From nothing fifteen years ago Delta now ships 3090 gallons of cream monthly sec- by Frank Beckwith Delta was established in 1908 by the formation of the nucleus of a water system which with additions has now become the Melville Irrigation Company and the Delta Canal company A diversion dam was built in the Sevier 90 cars of seed ships out approximately 30 cars of sheep which have been fed and fattened here and 200 cars of cattle 150 cars of hogs for the feeding of which it has one of the largest feed the yards in southern Utah In farmers and stockmen of Delta fed nearly 4500 head of livestock for the market The first question arising in the mind of the prospective new comer is that of schools Delta has a good Grade well equipped School commodious and with an enrollment of about 471 pupils supplementing that is the High School with 131 students The two buildings occupy an entire block in the central portion of the town School trucks or busses bring the students in from the outlying district daily and return them after school hours has held the position of Chairman of the Town Board of Hinckley and has always been a leader of civic improvements for the benefit of conditions of his comunity and to to his unceasing efforts many improvements have been made Mr Blake’s message to those who are not satisfied with high land values is to come to West Millard County He says he firmly believes that within the next two years (from 1923) land values will be 100 percent higher DACC General Membership Meeting Turkey’s are the future One of the coming income producers of West Millard County will be turkey raising One such gobbler in the area one of the heaviest in existence weighs in at over 49 pounds Mr Joseph Blake of Hinckley owns the critter and claims that climatic conditions in the county are perfect for turkeys A turkey can be hatched in June and sold in November or December with practically no expense for feed For the past four years Mr Blake Dean

goals Dean has served his in several different community capacities He has been a school teacher for 25 years because many settlers are coming in and much improvement is going on It is just a question of a short time until the many improvements will bring the values up to $200 and $300 an acre for the best unimproved land This is very reasonable when you consider the net profit per acre which is shown in many Mr farm histories in this booklet Blake will be glad to see you when you come to West Millard County In the 19th century Karl Waetzel an Austrian invented a machine with which one man

established alfalfa with dormant spring herbicides says Steve Dewey Utah State University Extension weed specialist “Late winter or early spring can be an excellent time to apply herbicides Sinbar such as Lexone Sencor Trefian or Velpar” Dewey says However as stated on the labels of these herbicides application must be made before dormant alfalfa plants resume growth in the spring “Failure to abide by this restriction” Dewey says “can result in serious crop injury and poor weed control” Dewey says the actual cutoff date for use of dormant treatments will vary considerably according to elevation latitude and weather but the cutoff usually occurs before mid April He says that since most “dormant” alfalfa varieties retain at least a few green leaves throughout the winter the term “dormant” can be confusing For Utah it might be more appropriate to refer to alfalfa dormancy as the “least active” or “nongrowing” stage of alfalfa during the cold fall and winter months To determine when alfalfa begins to break dormancy growers need to watch for the shoot growth to resume in the spring Dewey says growers can do this by marking shoots of a few plants in a and field after the snow melts periodically measuring those shoots This consumes little time and provides when a fairly accurate way to determine alfalfa plants have broken dormancy For further information or a Utah Weed
