Forecast Says Warmer By 2 Degrees For Delta and Vicinity; May Hold Back j Frost While Seed Ripens Is Hoped A forecast of 2 degrees higher Wednesday night !. than Tuesday night was made by the U. S. Weather ' Bureau forecast center for Delta and vicinity. The Chronicje called Mr. Carpenter at the center Wed-- nesday afternoon, after learning that the official ;.j recording at Deseret Tuesday night was 34 degrees. ji: IS HOPEFUL ji i Mr. Carpenter stated further that there is no evi- - dence to indicate colder weather, in fact it should j keep slightly warmer. It gives a narrow margin to work on but he said he thought most farmers would prefer to work within it. Although no weather man j claims to be infallible, Mr. Carpenter felt hopeful that the weather would keep on the safe side. i:; DAILY BULLETINS . He said he had had a number of inquiries lately, some as far south as Milford, some from Uintah. Knowing that the bumper alfalfa seed crop in West Millard kept farmers watching the approach of frost fearfully, he said the forecast center would start Thursday, Sept. 9, with daily bulletins. CALL THE CHRONICLE The bulletins will be telegrams each morning to Delta, delivered to the Chronicle office, which will gladly answer all inquiries as to what the daily forecast is. Miss Bernice Western, official recorder at Deseret, and W. R. Walker, at Sutherland, will send in daily reports to the center, which will later send back their forecast, based on the local and intermountain conditions. i BIG STAKES ARE INVOLVED Untold thousands of dollars are at stake in this fall's second crop seed which came on late, but is hoped to ripen before the frost. The Chronicel hopes that these forecasts will be of help to the farmers, allowing their seed all the time possible to ripen, h and to cut before the frost does any damage. j Call us any day from now on and we will give ;: you the forecast. i; Relief Societies Of Two Stakes Meet Sept. 16 Thursday, Sept. 16, a convention of the Relief Societies of Deseret and Millard Stakes will be held in Delta at the Second ward chap- el.

Will It ii i Id Road To New Mines The Spor Brothers are readying a power shovel to load gravel on trucks which will be taken out to the new fluorspar mining area at Joy to help build new roads there in preparation for winter hauling of ore. The heavy traffic from the trucks hauling ore has brought the present road down to a very bad stage of ruts and deep dust. This would be impassable when any storms come. The plan, as outlined by Chad Spor, is that the Spors will oper-ate the shovel to load the trucks using the road. All of the mining activity in the area will close down for the necessary days needs to gravel the roads ready for winter. As soon as the road is completed they will resume operations on the new road. The big increase in mining ac- - tivity m the area has brought huge demands on the pres-ents, road, which never was much good in the first place. And the operators can see that it will be necessary for them to do their own work in the area. The road lies partly in Millard and partly in Juab counties and neither county has assumed the responsibility of the roads in the area.
