S. Department of Labor as eligible to apply for a "trade adjustment assistance." These workers have been or May Bacoma unemployed or "underemployed" as a result of increased imports of refined beet sugar. Their "assistance" may include cash "trade readjustment allowances", training, employment services such as job placement, job search grants and relocation allowances. Now, what makes these people special so that the taxpayers of this country should pick up the tab when they lose their jobs? The average American gets no such assurance that he can get cash and have the DIVISION OP WIUXJPC UTAH SWT SALT LANE CUV government move him to a new location when he loses his job. Certainly those affected by the recent slow-dow- n of oil exploration in the Uintah Basin got no special to make sure they got government hand-outanother job. When will the United States government, particularly Congress, wake up and realize that earning a living is an individual responsibility and not the proper subject for gladhanded - but overdrawn - governments? The funds to assist these 423 families won't be noticed in the monumental federal budget, but if we added up all of the unnecessary and irresponsible handouts, there shouldn't be a problem figuring out how to balance the budget.

However, the success is nothing compared to what it wu five or six years igo. For a few years following the rainbow trout impoundment, Reservoir was at Starvation fishing fantastic. Tho fishery seemed to be doing well until the Utah Chub took over in the reservoir. This fish reproduces rapidly, and in a short period of time it was obvious that the rainbow trout that were being planted as finger lings did not have a chance. Advanced finger-ling- s were subsequently stocked in the reservoir to reduce the mortality of the rainbows. These advanced finger-ling- s could compete better with the Utah Chub. However, the return on these fish was still extremely small. As a means 4 controlling the exploding chub population, the Division of Wildlife Resources acquired walleye from out of state and stocked them in Starvation Reservoir. These walleye were stocked about two years ago, and a few of them were reportedly caught last summer. After sampling the fish population in Starvation last year, fourteen walleye were finally collected in gill nets during the fall of 1978. The largest of these walleye weighed approximately 1.5 pounds. Brown trout entered the reservoir via the Strawberry River and Chamber to hear pointers on hospitality established themselves as a healthy population. Last year the brown trout population was supplemented with advanced finger lings. Interest in trophy fishing for brown trout at Starvation has increased over the past three years, and the Wildlife Board has now made it possible to fish for these large fish throughout the year. Brown trout weighing from three to 10 pounds are relatively common, and a fish weighing over 17 pounds was caught this spring. In addition to the above mentioned fish, the reservoir also contains cutthroat trout, lake trout, whitefish, suckers and carp. Fishing at Starvation is the best during the cool months of the fall and spring. The large browns can bo eaught by trolling around the edge of the lake in the shallows where the brown trout are feeding on smaller fish. Once in a while a large fish is also caught by shore fishermen. Recently, the success has dropped off compared to what it was during April. However, some nice trout are still being caught by the experienced angler. Nik Sorenson C.O. - DUCHESNE Prevent plant disease early Without a microscope you cant even see the tiny culprits that cause plant diseases, yet they can raise havoc with gardens, says Joseph Austin, Duchesne County Extension Agent He warns that once these microorganisms infect your plants, very few treatments are available to cure the disease.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of rainbow trout culture in the United States. The taking of rainbow trout eggs for fish culture began in 1879 at the U.S. Fishery Commissions Baird Hatchery on McCloud River in California. Eggs were shipped to hatcheries throughout the east and upper midwest to satisfy a rapidly growing demand for the fish.
