Public Meetings On Parafhion Weil Attended Two meetings held early in Aug-ust concerning parathion and oth-er insecticides, the first dealing with the effects of their use on the users or people in the vicinity and the second dealing with the formulation of rules and regula-tions necessary to enforce the new insecticide law passed by the state legislature, drew satisfactory aud-iences, according to reports from the county agent's office. Officials from the Utah State Department o'f Health conducted the first meeting. After reviewing all the blood tests they had made on people in this area who had used parathion or been around during its use and had not com-plained of ill effects with people who had complained of ill effects, they said there is no substantial proof that parathion when used as an insecticide and applied in the proper manner will harmfully af-fect either the user or people in the vicinity of its use. Tracy Welling of the Utah State Board of Agriculture conducted the hearing where written suggestions and suggestions from the 'floor were 'accepted from local people attending the meeting. These sug-gestions, along with suggestions from similar public meetings in oth er areas, will be used to formulate rules and regulations" for enforcing the insecticide law. : Milled County lfoxLevy The mL J, c ' y tax levy was set at 9 mui e as last vear, at' a ect ial meeting held wth !cou,:vspvrviissioners LaVar Owens. ksAJ oVle1 "A- - Black' County Clerk' Da,G man, and County Attorney KyOn Eliason in attendance. The breakdown for1 he 1951 tax levy in mills was: General - - - 3.5 Poor and Indigent 1.0 Exhibits 5 Noxious Weeds - 5 County Roads 2.0 Agricultural Aid 5 Water Resources Dev 1.0 A delegation from the Millard County Farm Bureau and other (arm organizations met with the county officers and recommended that 1.0 mill be levied for "rain making" uses on the water sheds affecting this area. By cutting past levies made for recereation and play ground and reducing other levies,"Nhe mill tor rain making was adopted. It is listed under, "Water Resources Development." Mr. Black explained that the reason they took away the levy usually made for recreation and play ground was because officials present understood that communit-ies were using the funds for celeb-rations and not for concrete, per-manent equipment or community-wid- e benefiting projects. The assessed valuation for Mill-ard County this year was $13,468,-000.0- This is an increase over last year.

Recent Alfalfa Seed Stripping Is Explained By Nathan T. Packer Not understanding the reason for the excessive stripping of the blossoms on the second crop seed, many of the farmers have blamed the insects and applied insecticide unnecessarily. Very little if any seed set during the rainy weather or for the three days following this bad spell. Farmers that didn't have an insect problem could have saved themselves money if they understood the condition fully. The reason 'for this excessive stripping was because the alfalfa pollinators were unable to work the flowers in the bad weather and after the rainy spell it took about 3 days for the flowers to become fertilized after it had been cross pollinated. Also the small effect the wind has on setting the seed was cancelled because of the thorough washing of the foreign pollen from the standard petal of the alfalfa blossom. The same conditions were ob-served in the treated alfalfa fields and the fields not treated with in-secticide at this time. The seed began to set on the 3rd or 4th day and has continued to set while favorable conditions have existed. It is desired by the extension service that each farmer obtain a standard bug net so he can de-termine his own insect problems. This would save the farmers a considerable amount of money by eliminating unnecessary applica-tion of insecticide which is an ex-pensive item. The unthoughtful application of Parathion over a large acreage of alfalfa has destroyed large per-centage of the alfalfa pollinators (Alkali bees and honey bees). Tours Conducted On Alfalfa Seed, Halogefon Control A tour on alfalfa seed produc-tion methods and two tours on halogeton recognition and methods being used to try and control its spread were conducted by mem-bers of the county agent's office for visitors from other counties and people here. Severity-fou- r men from Beaver County arid Millard county toured al'falfa seed farms with Rodney Rickenbach, Nathan Packer, and Lee Rogers Friday to see the ef-fects of different insecticides, lady bugs, and honey bees on seed pro-duction. They also visited wild bee nesting sites. On Wednesday, August 8, Har-old Gore, Mr. Barton of the State Agricultural Commission, Bryant Anderson, state weed control sup-ervisor, Lee Rogers, Blaine Robison, and Floyd Hardy toured along the Union Pacific Railroad and high-way right-of-wa- between Delta and Black Rock observing halo-geton spread along the route and spraying with Control of the weed along there is especially necessary because heavy traffic through there can carry seeds into other areas. Monday, sheep ranchers from Sanpete and Piute counties who use the western range here for winter range, came to Delta with representatives from their county agriculture offices to tour range areas in Millard County to learn how to recognize halogeton and to watch methods o'f control being used here. At present it is estim-ated that Millard County has 39 thousand acres of range partially infested with halogeton and 2 mil-lion acres where traces of halo-geton can be found. Parade The parade, Saturday at 6 p. m., will form north of Deseret, proceed south along main street, across the river bridge and turn east and go until it has passed all the cars lined up along the road. After 4:00 p.m. on Saturday all traffic to Deseret must go by way of Oasis. Deputies will be posted ' to guide' traffic to good locations to view the parade. The floats entered in the parade should come in from the north to line up for the parade. According to John Day, parade chairman, the parade will be the longest ever staged in the county. Prize winning floats from the 4th and 24th will be there along with new entries from business, civic and church organizations. Fair The 'fair exhibits will be on dis-play in the Deseret ward chapel. Over 1000 exhibits of handicraft, needle work, and cooking were en-tered last year. The exhibits this years will far exceed that num-ber. Winning items will receive ribbons and prize money. Flower Show There will be both Junior divi-sion and Senior divisions in the Flower Show where exhibits will be judged by state officials. Blue white, red, and purple ribbons will be awarded along with sweepsta-kes and cash awards. Entries will be judged on color combination, proportion and balance, perfec -- tion of arrangement, distinction, originality, and relation of con-tainer.
