High Winds Cause Extensive Damage Mlfalfa Seed The high winds of last Friday damaged the west Millard alfal a seed crop over the entire area. An average estimate is that losses to the farmers were one third of the yield they had expected. Neither frost nor aphids could have done the damage that one day's gale did. The wind had a velocity of 55 miles per hour, though it seemed twice that as cut seed was whirled and beat out. Tree limbs were blown down, power lines down, phone lines down. The most extensive damage was down in fields where the seed was cut in windrows. Some fields Sat-urday looked as though they had been swept with a broom. Fields where the seed was in piles were not so badly scattered, unless there were weeds. Then the light piles sailed in the air. Thousands of dollars were lost as the storm raged all day. One farmer estimates a loss of $10,000, while many confess to 1 to 3 thousand dollars loss. One farmer expected to thresh 300 bags, and got 100. Others are in the same proportion. The weather the entire month of September has been ideal, for ripening seed and threshing. The night before the fateful storm, thf minimum temperature at Deseret was 56. Friday night, following the day's buffeting, the temperature went to 33 at Deseret, and was slightly higher in other areas. ' Since the storm, the weathe has again been fine. Frost came t the night of Oct. 1, temperature of 22, a drop of 11 degrees from the night before. But the damage was then done. The last weather forecast from the Weather Bureau was Oct. 3. but by that time no one was inter-ested. Instead they were wonder-ing just how far their seed had blown.

Black Rock Ranch No. 1 Wildcat Activities End The failure to find oil in the Black Rock Ranch No. 1 located near Black Rock, Utah, has caus-ed the El Capitan Oil Co. Inc. to suspend their wildcat operations in this area. This was the third well the company has drilled ar-ound Black Rock this summer, each of them being a "duster" or dry hole. The first well which they dug was named the Walter James No. 1. and encountered burned oil and was abandoned. The econd hole was called the Taft Paxton No. 1, and found what has been called "an inexhaustible supply of wat-er", but no oil. The third well was the Black Rock Ranch No. 1. The Black Rock Ranch No. 1 was drilled one hundred feet due south of the well which Mr. Wal-ter James et al. drilled during the middle 20's, but failed to encounter the expected horizon of oil. The company rig and drilling crews have not yet left this area, but are expected to return to Kan-sas in the immediate future.

She had endured all the hard-ships of the early settling of Des-eret, when the families had an annual struggle procuring food and clothing.

Leon Hunsaker Is Still A Patient At SL Hospital Leon Hunsaker, who was taken to the Holy Cross hospital in Salt Lake City two weeks ago, is still being treated there.

The old patient is re-ported to be in good health and good spirits, though still unable to use his legs. However, he is hopeful, as he feels he can move them slightly now, and full re-covery will come in time. Spinal surgery and probes failed to re-veal the cause of his condition. His mother, Mrs. Emma Hunsak-er, who has been in Salt Lake with him, returned to Delta early in the week, and will go to the city later this week. On Sunday he was visited by some of his fam-ily, Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Giles, Howard, Ronilla and Renee Hun-saker, who found him looking well.
