If you haven't cut your seed yet, and hope for a few more good days, the report is def-initely cheerful. Wednesday's Bulletin The daily weather report received Wednesday says Scattered cloudiness with fresh southwester-ly winds during afternoon, becoming light southerly tonight (Wednesday). Minimum 45. The readings Tuesday night at Deseret were min-imum 47, Sutherland, 47. i ' .,. J Telephone Call Sounds Good A long distance call Wednesday afternoon to Mr. Carperiter at the Salt Lake Weather Bureau sound-ed good for local seed men who need but 2 or 3 more warm days to ripen their seed. He said there is a little cooler air coming in, but no indications of frost for several days, according to their findings. The cooler air is along the coast, and so far doesn't tend to move in. He asked if there was any frost reported locally j Sunday night when the temperature went down. We told him no, although some field thermometers i recorded 32 1- -2 and 33 degrees, and some white ' frost reported. We also told him some green seed was cut as the bulletin and local coolness indicated probable frosts. He said the weather bureau could '! not predict closer than within 2 or 3 degrees. Two ' or three degrees mean a lot one way or another to ; any seed grower. i Bulletins Continue ;' The daily bulletins will continue from the Bureau to the Chronicle and we'll do our best to keep them t good, and circulate word when a frost warning comes. In the meantime, farmers will continue to j use their own good judgment. They know in the main, from past years experience, where low fields t may be frosted before a neighbor's. And they know Jl since last Sunday, not to get stampeded too soon before a frost. One of the luckiest farmers we heard of last Sunday was out pine-nuttin- g all day, and came home too tired to cut seed, so slept through to a warm day and bright prospects. j . i Delta Airport To Bo Improved Last week Joe Bergin, director of the state aeronautics commis-sion, and H. T. Bean, of the CAA, and Roy McLeih, chief engineer for the state road commission, met with Mayor Black for a visit to the Delta municipal airport. They inspected the runways, and decided they needed a seal coat. During the past week, a seal coat has been applied at the air-port, under the direction of Lon Wood, and the state road crew. Bids will be called on shortly for improvements to the extent of $16,000, such as hard surfacing around the hangar, and sewerage facilities. There has been a lot of activity at the airport this past week. 75 planes have landed there for refueling, AT26 training planes enroute to China from Canada, via San Francisco. These are planes given to Canada on lend lease, and bought by the Chinese gov-ernment from loans from the U.S. 0. H. S. Football Schedule Set For League Play - The 1948 football schedule for Delta high school in league games opens Friday, Oct. 1, with' Millard high school Eagles coming to Del-ta, Oct. 8 is a bye. October 15 Delta goes to Hinckley for the an-nual tussle with the Mustangs. North Sanpete meets Delta here Oct. 22. And the closing game will be .at Mt. Pleasant, Oct. 29, when Delta plays the Wasatch Academy. The DHS football boys go to Panaca, Friday, Sept. 24, for their annual practice game. Last Friday's practice game, D HS vs. Spanish Fork, gave the vis-itors a 12 to 0 victory. However, the losing score opened the play-ers' eyes to some defects they could corect, and they are all agog for the next gridiron battle. A-lthough both line and backfield of this year's team will average light er than last year's weight, Coach Nephi Schwab says, "football pros-pects are good." A. II.

Payson Topples 3Iustangs by Score of 31 - 7 The first football game for many of the Hinckley players, and the first time for any of them under the lights, was played in Payson last Thursday, Sept. 16 at Payson. These facts, together with the su-perior strength of the Payson team and their extra weeks of practice, were responsible for the above score. The first half was spent by the Hinckley team getting their wits about them and getting the feeling of playing at night into their sys-tems. The second half was much more evenly played, with a fine pass from Peterson to Love, giving our scoring points, and a beautiful drop kick by Peterson accounted for the extra point. Some good football was shown throughout the last half by Pet-erson, tove. Bill Davis. Lee Davis and Carter. It is expected that this experience will make a big differ-ence in the playing of many of the other teams for the next games.
