session of the US annual of Agriculture’s Department World Outlook Conference Nov Agricultural Outlook Board chairman James R Donald told conferees to expect slightly larger global crop supplies stronger demand and higher crop prices in 1991 World commodity production will increase substantially in 1991 with crops responding to favorable weather in a number of countries around the world Animal product output in 1991 will reach a new record as red meat recovers and poultry supplies continue to increase Donald said “This outlook points to a year of near record incomes for US farmers" he said Cash receipts will rise with larger marketing and higher prices for a few commodities At the same time production expenses will increase reflecting inputs higher prices for “Even with larger expenses producers will see cash farm income of $55 billion to $60 billion” he said Donald said the 1991 outlook calls for larger food supplies dampened inflation and a slower rise in food prices Retail food prices are forecast to increase 2 to 5 percent US crop acreage will expand for several crops in 1991 as producers lake advantage of more planting flexibility under new farm program provisions Donald said In 1990 farmers set aside from production about 60 million acres including annual programs and the Conservation Reserve Program but planted acreage was down percent About 24 million acres were set aside under annual programs Some of this acreage will be brought back into production next year if acreage reduction requirements (ARP) for program participation are lowered for cotton from the 25 percent for 990 and for feed grains from 1990's 10 percent But for wheat the ARP will be up sharply hen producfrom the 5 percent in 990 ers also were allowed to plant up to 105 percent of their base in exchange for lower deficiency payment acres The“mix"of acreage planted for 1991 crops will shift in response to greater flexibility under provisions of the Food Agriculture Conservation and Trade Act of 1990 and the Budget Reconciliation Act "Producers will be allowed to plant a variety oferops not including fruits and vegetables on up to 25 percent of their crop acreage base" Donald said Soybeans other oilseeds and cotton arc pected to effectively compete for this flexible acreage with wheal feed grains and rice will be In the 1990's US boosted as international trade and farm policy reforms open up world m arkets for US producers Donald said Second measles shot urged The Central Utah District j : “There have been cases where people have burned up all the oxygen in the house” he said Not all exposure to cold can be avoided Brunson said he and some of the firemen fighting the Lance Brunson fire in Fillmore got sick “They had icicles coming off their hair and their hair was white with ice” he said “It’s just one of those ballgames you have to play when you’re a fire fighter” Utah Power and Light Company has had few problems cording to Delta District Manager Vince Crawford "We've had a couple minor interruptions” he said “Some wires did snap because of the cold but for the most part we’ve come across pretty well unscathed” It won't be so for people using electricity Crawford said “There could be some sizable bills because of all the BTUs it takes to heat the homes" he Health is offering kindergarten-ageDepartment children a second round of vaccinations against rubeola or “hard measles" at the usual $300 charge Utah has seen more rubeola cases this year than in any year in the past decade As of last week 135 cases were reported statewide compared to 114 cases in 1989 Both children and adults who have not been immunized once are encouraged to get the vaccination and a second dose is said Rick Crankshaw recommended Health Department immunization pro- gram manager there wasn't enough "Unfortunately money to offer the low cost vaccine to other students Parents of children older than kindergarten age may feel they’re being cheated because they can get the second dose only if they pay substantially more” he said "But it’s a strategy of trying to eliminate measles" Crankshaw said “It will take 3 years but the Center for Disease Control believes that is the only way to control the disease" Adults bom before 1957 are considered immune from the disease which in its early stages has symptoms: cough conjunctivitis a runny nose and fever A or higher temperature usually peaks about four day s after symptoms start Then a rash occurs generally lasting about three days Crankshaw said Nationally more than 21000 cases have been reported this year Last year at this time there were 12237 human intrusion so stay Trumpeter Swans The afternoon of Tuesday Jan 1991 provided a break in the cold weather It was the first day

people to our area because of the services we offer This is not substantiated by anything we know If services are so attractive in Utah why do Chicago etc have homeless there?
