The farmers who ha iv seed still standing had two wan ings, one Saturday and the de :f inite one Sunday, that frost woul i 1 : come Sunday night, and so littl '. seed was standing Sunday night, The extra days given the farn' ; " J, ers this year amounted to mail' , , U thousands of dollars in extra pr M t duction and income. With see , ' ' selling around 50c a pound, it a valuable crop and a good cro ; will put many farmers out of del r; and well established finacially. t Mr. Carpenter, Weather Man Visi j Tuesday evening Mr. Carpente ' of the Salt Lake Weather Burea was in Delta on a visit to see coi I ditions here, and why the peop! were so anxious to get full info ,l mation on the frost. He met i, ,. our office with Clair Acord, assist ant county agent, and took noti ( for next year on what the farme . ' would want in the way of fro: I and weather forecasts. It was e; plained to him the value of good alfalfa seed crop, and wh: it mean't to the farmers. It wt f suggested that next year the bul j."' etins we receive give the foreca of that particular day, and al: some indication as to what to e: ,', pect the following day. It was e. plained to him, that a light f probable frost would not wor t, seed growers too much, if thi Lf knew the following night would I i warmer. Also he was asked to gi' ' definite information on all ha ,y winds, so that farmers could tal ;i them into consideration also whi I figuring when to cut. 111 Mr. Carpenter was glad to ri ,i( ceive this information and said tip , weather bureau was operated fi; i f all the people and to give the mc'' i ; benefit it could. i. He explained why on certa j nights the forecast was quite : i long way away from the actt temperatures. He stated that m times when there is no danger ' any frost, only one check is ma ' . to forecast the expected temper ture. In a case such as happen! J on Sunday, Sept. 19 when a pre able frost might come, all repor and information were checked !'. three different men to determi, if a frost would come. He stat; that on this particular Sunday ' of them checked the forecast, s-that it was 32-3- and then debat ( for some time whether to relei the warning or not.They knew fn , past experience, that a "probab ; frost warning caused much anxii j and like a week ago Sunday, qu J ; j a few losses. On the other ha 4 had they not released the warn' f and it did freeze that night, tl . would be in a worse position tr h 'j they were. ' I Temperatures May Vary J Mr. Carpenter said temperatu ,'r in a radius of 15 miles of De may vary as much as ten degr f and he asked that farmers sti I their fields, taking readings t j checking them with the local i tions to see if they are genen in a warmer or cooler spot tl 3 the places of the official readii J Asks Farmers to Write a Note ' ....Mr. Carpenter asked if we wc I have the farmers write to him I the Weather Bureau,.. Salt L I Airport, Salt Lake City, and t him if the frost warnings and L weather forecasts did any g f and were of any benefit to growers. He said he would welci any suggestions to better the vice and help the seed growers 1 : they could ! j We Have Learned a Lot I ' i Here at the Chronicle office f have learned a lot about what j; farmers want in the way of tl ' J forecasts, and we hope to in '"' porate them in next year's hi j ling. It seemed to be a pop j thing, and one that the seed g- - ers wanted. When we were in ii, midst of the telephone calls, j i, three phones we have, averi almost 200 calls a day, which H eluded the many people who c; 1 ;A" in the office. Well, it is just 28 days age ;!T, were sitting in the office deci ' : to report the weather forecast ' that time we were sweltering j ' , frost looked a long way off. T' 28 days later, we are still si' : ,: in the office ,and still swelteri ,' j wondering how it ever did get j. : enough to freeze when it di( '?

Gets Koed When Horse Stumbles With the aid of crutches, Ted Knight is back in circulation after an accident last week that threat-ened to lay him up for weeks. Tuesday night, a week ago, the three Knight brothers, Ted, Jim and Russell, were bringing in cattle from near the diversion dam about dusk. Jim was riding ahead, when Ted's horse caught up with him, dusty and riderless. He turned back to investigate, and Russell, driving the truck stopped for the same reason. And there on the road, about a foot from the front wheels, lay Ted unconscious. Apparently his horse had stumbled, and probably rolled over with him, for Ted was dusty, and out like a light for 30 minutes, with a rapidly growing bump, on his head. His brothers brought him to town at once, where Xrays revealed no broken bones. He was in a delirium all night, but by morning was back on the beam. His right knee was badly sprained, but using crutches enabled him to get around. And within the week, he was back on the tractor cutting seed. In the meantime the abandoned cattle seized the opportunity to scatter, and Russell and Jim spent the day following the accident gathering them up again. Skull Valley To Be Re-Seed- ed by Air A project to 15,000 acres with crested wheat grass will be-gin right away in Skull Valley. The project is novel in that it will be done by airplanes, which will scatter the seed over the ground from the air. The seeds are treated with chemicals so versatile that they will be unappetizing to, any animal or bird that might try to eat them. In addition they are packed into tink pellets of clay and dried. This well enable them to get an even start although they do not get down into the ground. The roots will form in the clay ball and grow outward and downward and into the earth where they will become firmly entrenched. It, is hoped that a new, rich grazing land will develop from this experiment. Third Ward R. S.

Pheasant Hunt Opens at Noon A noon opening for uplands birds has been proclaimed for Utah sportsmen this year to give more of the working men of the state a first crack at the upland targets. The noon opening was set last i; week by the Utah fish and game i commission, and is proclaimed for jl the first day, October 30. The final v two days of the three day hunt will be opened at 7 a. m. until 5:30 p. m., closing time for all Pheasant and quail shooting. The Utah pheasant hunt this year will be a three day affair with three roosters as the daily bag, and six as the possession limit. The rules are uniform throughout the state. Usually, with a 7 a.rm opening, the birds are not readily identif-ied. At least many of the hunters who have been apprehended shoot ing hens have given this early hour as an excuse. To eliminate this problem the season was set for a noon opening. Another reason for this change, which the state tried out several J years ago, is that the noon opening I will give the birds a chance to get ut from their roosts into the field. " will also scatter the birds and S've the hunters more sport over a wider area. Heretofore the roost hunters have had the "big thunder" was pointed out. Men working Saturday morning wi'l be able to be on hand for the "fst shoot. It will also give dairy-men and farmers a better chance to protect their stock. Wardens have been active this year arresting violators of the fish id game laws. Ladd Broderick, of Delta was fined 25 and forfeited his shotgun for hunting pheasants out of season. M. E. Ward, Delta, Jas fined 25$ for a fishing violat-ion. Mr. and Mrs. L. Morrison ar ' turning to Huntington Beach, ifornia for the winter.
