Rodeo Committee meetings are held every month and the wheels are set in motion for all committee activities. Beckstead says there have always been many good, willing workers to take care of the many jobs that go to insure a good rodeo. HK('KSTKAI). ON the history of the Preston rodeo, said Evert Coburn, for one, and Tommy Thompson, actually started the first rodeo in Preston. Everybody came to the rodeo on their own horses. We've had a lot of producers since then and weve built this thing from nothing," he said. Beckstead said the first rodro in the area was the Henry Stampede about 35 miles north of Soda Springs on the Hogan Ranch. It was one of the first rodeos in the entire country but gradually went downhill after a few years. SICII PEOPLE as the Hulls. Tom Handy. Emily and Then Petterborg and Dick Bowden took interest and built the Preston rodeo to the point of popularity it took over from the Henry rodeo. Beckstead said. The first arena was of wood plant and about 20 years ago the committee startl'd to replace the wood with steel bleachers. They replaced a section at a time until a few years ago when they borrowed some $35,000 In complete the arena. The rodeo is able to pay hack some each year on the 20 year loan. Not only has the arena been improved . hv this means, hut the rodeo has been upgraded by better acts, stock and cowboys through an increased purse. installed in the arena are some of the finest outdoor lights available." according to Beck-steaNew lights d.

Horn also suggests permit-in- g pines and spruces grown as specimen trees to assume their natural form, using little or no pruning. If they develop double leaders, remove the weaker or least desirable one. When the tip or main stem has been broken off. frosted or otherwise destroyed, train a neW leader by selecting a strong branch from an uppermost whorl and carefully bend it upward. Use a splint to keep it erect. Slightly head back other branches in the whorl. DO NOT CUT lower branches of young spruce and pine. Cutting detracts from the natural beauty of the tree, Horn says. In the base planting of the home, keep Mugho pines in bounds by pinching out buds or clipping the candles" of new growth. While still soft. theft, accident or death of a key part- ner or employee, amounts to a staggering total.

This makes any pine more compact. Horn advises. Spruces are best if allowed to grow unpruned. However, blue spruce can be sheared in almost any shape desired. Shearing any plant into odd shapes is poor landscape design and not to be encouraged. according to Horn. In the base planting of a home, clip or shear such evergreens as junipers, and Japanese yews to keep them in symmetrical form, induce dense foliage and to keep them in bounds. Shear in early spring before growth starts. Repeat later, but do not shear after July. In southern Idaho, the first shearing is generally about April 15. then again about July 15. lf at Carl SWIFT.
