Show f Ib$ Soling Sun The Gunnison Valiev News Wed,. 'June 8. 1988 Farmers will get a break says FmHA Proposed rules, which could assist hundreds of farmers who are behind on their Farmers Home Administration loans, were issued recently, according to FmHA (Utah Nevada) State Director, Lee Hawks. The new regulations will carry out portions of the Agricultural Credit Act passed by Congress last December, There will be a 30 day comment period and additional time for any appropriate changes before the regulations become effective, Mr. Hawkes noted. One of these changes would allow FmHA to reduce the delinquent debt of certain borrowers to help them stay in business. It is estimated that this rule could benefit as many as 280 borrowers in Utah; 130 borrowers in Nevada; and over 16,000 borrowers nationwide. This writedown could amount to $18 million in Utah; $8 million in Nevada; and as much as $2.1 billion nationally. In related action, the agency also proposes to: Make it easier for farmers or their families to lease or buy back homesteads that have been lost through foreclosure or conveyance; Set up a program to help members of minority and socially disadvantaged groups to purchase farmland and develop an outreach program to carry it out; Establish a new administrative appeals unit distinct from the rest of the agency to handle borrower grievances; Certify and participate in state mediation programs. Anyone interested in submitting comments on the proposed regulations, which appeared in todays Federal Register, should address them to Chet Bailey, Department Agriculture, FarmersHome Administration, Farmer Program Division 5019 South Building, Washington, DC 20250.

Most people these days are happy working diligently during the week at their chosen occupation, but when the weekend rolls around - its a different story. Many head for the hills or lakes and streams to indulge in a little soulsoftening recreation. No matter whether you enjoy fishing, hiking, boating, camping, or traveling, we all have one communal need - we have to eat. Dutch oven cookery is becoming more and more popular as people find that they can complete a tasty meal with little effort, utilizing the dutch ovens that are similar to those used by their grandparents. And it seems to be habit forming...once you have been introduced to the black iron kettles and skillets, you find yourself creating occasions to utilize them. The dutch ovens have been used for hundreds of years, and were common during the exodus to the West. The chuck wagons that accompanied the cattle drives of the 1 800s had dutch ovens along, and they were used for stews, soups, beans and sourdough and other types of bread. You can cook anything in your dutch oven you would normally cook in your oven at home, and somehow it all seems to taste better when cooked and served in the great outdoors. Anything that can be boiled, baked or fried can be cooked in the dutch oven. Here are some recipes from an award winning dutch oven cook, Dick Stucki, of South Salt Lake. He and his wife have won many awards in regional and state dutch oven cooking contests. Lets start with an easy one. I have a son, who is single, who throws this one together whenever he gets in the mood for an easy, sweet dessert.

Firewood permits are available locally Connie and Jerry Hansen, the local Area REpresentatives for EF foundation, hope to find families for these students as soon as possible. Host families come from all backgrounds and walks of life, Connie and JErry explain. Sharing your family life with an exchange student is a wonderful way to learn about other cultures and to make international friends. Host families provide students with a bed, meals, and a loving environment. EF Foundation students speak English, are fully insured, and provide their own spending money for the stay. If you are interested in hosting Kaisa, Lutz or one of the other students coming to the AuroraSalina area or would like more information on EF Foundation programs, please contact Connie and Jerry Hansen at The arrival of warm weather in Utahs deserts and mountains revives interest in replenishing firewood supplies for next winters storms.

Some local areas' water storage is critically low The amount of water lost to snowmelt this spring on the Sevier River watershed was less than average because of low temperatures and above average precipitation, according to the U.S. Soil Conservation Service. The SCS reports that at the last weather report the water year total was 92 percent of normal, considerably better than in the northern sector of the state. Streamflow forecasts are very varied with some listed as critically low, especially those from Salina to Mount Pleasant; while other averages are less than half. On the lower Sevier, figures generally range from 60 to 0 percent of average. Lutz Emenputsch Utah's fisheries program is one of the best in nation The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has one of the largest fisheries programs in the United States. Unlike most states that have an abundant amount of water with a lot of native populations of game 'fish, Utah reliesTieavily on the DWR fish hatchery program and the honesty of the sportsmen who draw upon this resource, to maintain this program. Unfortunately, the percentage of uneducated or dishonest fishermen is high enough to force the DWR to engage in a highly skilled and active wildlife law enforcement program. The uneducated fishermen are those who unknowingly destroy a good fisheries program through acts of carelessness. The dishonest fisherman is the individual who is well aware of theregulations, realizes the consequences of his actions, but doesnt care. A prime example is the illegal stocking of fish. In late February, 1988, two conservation officers, along with DWR Special Investigator Dave Hintze, seized several grass carp from a couple of golf course owners in St. George. The grass carp are a prohibited species are illegal to possess or import The golf course owners had allegedly brought the fish in to control an abundance of aquatic vegetation. The fish are native to China Dutch Oven Potatoes 12 potatoes peeled and sliced (or one potato per person) 6 onions peeled and diced ( one half onion per person) 12 pound sliced bacon 34 cup water seasoning to taste Put 14" dutch oven on a hot bed of coals, cook the bacon, add water, then potatoes and onions.

If they end up in the wrong places, they could eliminate sport fishing, said Gary McKell, conservation officer. Other examples of illegal transplants include the fisherman who uses live bait, such as minnows, then upon ending his day of fishing, releases the unwanted minnows (fishing with live bait is illegal). Or the know-it-a- ll who thinks an additional species of fish in his local fishing hole would be great, so deliberately transplants some fish into the local fishing hole. Another violation is the fisherman who fishes without a valid license. Without those license dollars there would be no DWR fisheries program, since license fees fund the Failure to obey the bag limits on individual waters can also dramatically effect the fishing, according to Conservation Officer Brent Christensen patrols Christensen. both Piute and Otter Creek Reservoir, were the typical trout range from 1.5 to 2.5 pounds. If bag limits are ignored, the size of fish will rapidly decrease and the fish per person will also be less. Since some fishermen refuse to obey laws, the only way a good fisheries program like Utahs will work, is with the help from a strong law enforcement program, like Utah.s 1.00-2.0- 0; 0; 0, 0, 45; Salina Creek, Sal10.000 feet, Chicken Creek ina, 8,000 feet, near Levan, 1,900 feet, Reservoir inflow 6,300 acre feet, 71 percent of average; Sevier near Gunnison, 70,000 feet, Clear Creek near Sevier, 18,000 feet; 97 percent; and Sigurd to Gunnison, 36.000 feet, 99 percent 49; 54; Min-ersvil- lbs 700-80- 0 lbs 70.00-74.0- 75.00-81.0- 0, 17-2- 14-1- 0; Large 0.
