were 6 fire calls this week with 4 of those being arson hay stack fires Delta responded to 5 of the fire calls and Fillmore responded to call There were 8 accidents in the county this week with 2 of those being injury accidents Speed Enforcement MCSO Deputies issued 50 citations on overtime speed enforcement shifts this week There were 7 citations written for speeds of 100 miles per hour or fjstcr Deputy Nathan Tmgcy had the high speed at 106 miles per hour Defense expenses high by Knox Huntsman IPA and Millard County are currently in litigation over several issues concerning taxation with the power plant north of Delta The mam issue is the value of the plant assessed on IPP by the Utah State Tax Commission which IPA will be taxed on In past years IPA has appealed the taxable value on IPP which has sulted in their taxes being substantially lowered According to the County Auditor's Office IPA's incessant litigation has cost the citicns of Millard County residents itv external legal fees and expenses $ 226 from the first year starting in 1996 to a whopping S84I075 in 2001 for a grand total of S 2 3985 all coming out of the taxpayers pockets These costs do not reflect the time that our county officials incur while handling the problems It has cost every man woman and child in the county approximately $150 each Details of the current litigation are kept close to the vest by both parties each not w anting to influence the outcome County Treasurer John Hansen is a member of the county’s negotiating team and he said "we hope to soon resolve the issues without additional legal expenses " The county commissioners are also on the negotiating team along with the County Auditor and County Attorney Delta Senior’s Here it is October and the weather is changing we go from air conditioners to turning on the furnace to keep warm We are getting another year older For some reason in the fall the number of people who attend the meals at the Senior center always drops off Some head for w armcr w cathcr in St George and Arizona Some move to be closer to family but for those of us who stay here the work goes on The center serves meals Tues00 PM The sugday thru Friday at gested meal is 225 for those of us who are over 60 years of age Those under 60 are asked to pay 5 25 a meal This is a real bargai n for those of us w ho as w e get older hate to cook This meal serves as the main meal cf the day If we choose we can get by with eating a lite meal before bed time Besides meals some of the programs that are offered by The Department of Aging are Meals on Wheels Fema Homeless Prevention Care giver Respite RSVP Heat Ombudsman help on Elderly Abuse and also Flu shots If help is needed in any of these areas call the center and we will direct you to the right agency phone Flu shots will be given at the M E Bird center Oct the 8 from 9 00 AM to 00 PM and 2 00 to 330 PM at no cost to those who have a Medicare Card People who need help with their heating bills can apply for Heat Program but it is suggested that you wait for the colder weather to apply when the bills are bigger There are different types of Elderly Abuse It can be Physical or Mental and can be in the form of family members abusing the financial means of the Senior Sometimes they are too scared or embarrassed to ask for help but there is help out there if it is asked for We want to encourage all who live in the Delta area who are 60 or older to come and join us here at the M E Bird center for meals and for Bingo on the last Monday of the month do not attach ourselves

Nutrient Content and Value of Compost Last week we focused on the overall history and capacity of compost My purpose today is to present an analysis of the nutrient content of the compost produced by BIOREM and to explain the total value in nutrient terms that this compost will add to your farming operation Nutrient content of compost is a natural product of the decomposition process carried out by the bacteria fungi and other biology present Many farmers have been concerned with the N P K analyses of organic fertilizers but we will clarify today what a superior product quality compost can be As researched this week found an interesting study that was conducted in Sweden over a year period In this particular field believe it has been one of the most comprehensive studies on a basis on the overall results of organic vs inorganic farming Let me share a few things that learned Dr Artur Grandstedt and Dr Lars Kjellcnbcrg have been involved with this project and recently published their findings During the time between 1958 and 1990 crop yields: "Increased 65 overall with the (organic) practices while only 50was achieved with conventional (inorganic) practices The analysis of soil data showed that nearly all chemical (pH P K Mg Cand N)and biological (respiration DHA urease earthworms) parameters assessed were improved by organic fertilization whereas no such improvements were observed following the application of mineral fertilizers ” (Grandsted and Kjellcnbcrg 1997) This is truly an report It was also noted in the study that as crop yields increased so did the quality and nutrient content of the crops produced The main focus of any fertilizer program is to get more nutrients into the plants to further their growth would make the comparison of using a chemical fertilizer to the using of ordinary aspirin to mend a broken bone Sure it can reduce the pain as often as you take it and relive the symptoms of the injury but it will not heal until more drastic measures are taken The bone must be reset to its proper alignment in order for it to be restored to its full capacity With inorganic chemical nutrient application we are relieving only symptoms we are not getting to the base of the problem Any farmer knows that nitrogen is a vital clement in the production of almost any crop One of the most interesting aspects of the Sweden experiments was that although the organic additions were lower in total nitrogen the crop yields were 5 higher than in a high inorganic nitrogen addition Why’’ The answer is found in the soil itself If the plant is unable to get to the nitrogen appl led it docs us no good In fact nitrogen is so abundant in our world that you would think we should never be nitrogen deficient 80° of the air we breathe is pure mlrogcn gas What happened in the organic applications is that the compost increased the soil’s mineralization which is the capacity measure of a soil's ability to make nitrogen available to plants "The mejn mineralization capacity during the 32 year period w as on av cragc 95° higher in the organically farmed treatments as compared to the treatments receiving commercial fertilizer The higher mineralization capacity compensated completely for ihe jbvencc of applied nunetjl nitro" gen in the organically farmed treatment (Grandsted and Kjellenberg 1997) Please he advised that oui intent is not lo convert local tanners to organic practices but only to emphasize ihe importance of organic constituents in maximizWe ing soil potential recognize that optimum yields are probably lound in the
