Only five counties had a greater numerical influx, but these were all on the Wasatch front and included only small percentage increases. In the 1970 census Duchesne County was listed as having 7,299 persons. As of July 1, 1972 the census figure, according to the research review, was approximately 9,700, an increase of nearly 34. Along the same lines, it was recently reported that the Duchesne County School District sustained by far the greatest percentage increase in school enrollment during the past year, the increase amounting to some The nearest county showed increase. only a 7 These, are just figures, and in and of themselves do not mean too much.

BUT WE'VE been told ever since we were in grammar school of the U.S. wealth of resources. Was somebody kidding us? Not at all.

But even a crash program to cut down the gap between energy needs and supply cannot be successful now without a serious conservation effort in which every citizen must partici- pate. It is little consolation to know that the conservation of electricity will be encouraged by the undeniable fact that users will pay more and more for the operation of their television sets, toasters and electronic ovens. The consumer will pay the mounting costs lied to development of new energy sources. THE POTENTIAL for disaster in our dependence on oil from the Middle East to make up happy domestic deficits is further complicated by adjustments in price and trigger-- political pressures to take advantage of insatiable U.S. demands. The bill for the reckless American energy orgy oyer the past several years is due and payable. The high cost of various natural protein supplements and usage of urea has caused many livestock producers to ponder which protein supplement best suits their needs. The method to use depends on the situation. When cattle have adequate roughage e such as dry grass, straw, hay or corn stalks then the principal need is for supplemental protein. For this situation livestock performance is related to the amount of protein. For this situation livestock performance is related to the mount of protein. Thus when roughage is adequate, protein supplements can be evaluated on a cost per pound of digestible protein basis, according to Dr. Joe Falto 32 range supkenburg. Thus 20 and 26 plements contain about 16 digestible protein respectively what is their cost? Alfalfa hay at 10 digestible protein and $50 per ton, then the per pound cost would be 25 cents. In a situation when roughage is limited, energy is the deficient factor. It may be most economical to provide needed energy as well as protein tnd more pounds of a lower protein supplement can be fed. Usually a lower protein supplement 20 has more grain as an energy vs. 32 source and will utilize more natural protein in its composition. Urea is generally used to formulate the higher per cent protein supplements, livestock producers frequently wonder bout using urea which can be converted to protein by cattle and sheep in some situations along with being cheaper than protein. Urea while being well utilized by feedlot cattle is poorly utilized by livestock on dry grass due to an energy shortage. Utilization of urea is intermediate on harvested roughages such as hay or . e Blaine Casper is still confined to the Vernal hospital where he is receiving treatment for burns received several weeks ago.

NIELSEN FURNITURE AND Protein Supplements Important Essential energy conservation to be spurred by higher costs must do all we can to provide for present and future growth, but at the same time use extreme caution to see that we do not build for a boom that does not materialize. For instance, in 1970 the population projection for the state showed that Duchesne county would show a slight increase in population during the decade, reaching near 8,000 by 1980. State and local planning for this area, then, was based at least partially on these projections.
