Vernon Road To I Be Completed In Thirty Days The new highway lo Salt Lake City by way of Vernon will be com pleted this summer and should be done in about thirty days. The crews are at present oiling in the last stretch of the road there now. This will complete the highway to Salt Lake City and give the motorist oil all the way, and with very little traffic, as compared to Highway 91. Varlo Henrie was in Delta Mon-day enlisting support for a Y near Eureka that would connect High-way 6 to the new Vernon cutoff and eliminate the winding road around the mountain at Eureka, as well as making the road easier to find for those who are not fam-iliar with the present turn off.. The new road will greatly in-crease the traffic through Tooele county and will save almost an hour over the present route to Salt Lake City over Highway 91. 51 7 Volume 42 Number 4 Delta, Utah, Thursday, July 26, 1951 $3.50 a Year in Advance Tliermuuieter Hits 102 On Wed.

AlafalfaSeed Demonstration Yields Results Sixty-fiv- e pounds Of alfalfa seed to the acre or 1000 pounds which do you prefer? That is the difference in seed production between the two dem-onstration cages at LaVar Owens' farm, according to estimates made by Dr. George M. Bohart of the U SDA experiment statinn. About six weeks ago, .two insect proof cages were placed side by side in Mr. Owens 'alfalfa field. In one cage a hive of bees was placed; in the other, nothing but the few Insects present at the time the cage was erected have been inside. Since the area covered by the cages is small, the hive of bees have had to have supplemental 'feeding. The field has been irriga-ted once. Although winds are slightly reduced in speed as they travel through the cages, it is felt that the reduction has been very limited. Many farmers and interested spectators have marveled at the contrast in the seed production of the two cages. You, too, are in-vited to stop at any time and see with you own eyes the results. Public Meeting On Parathion Use Is Scheduled Reports on tests of blood sam-ples from users of parathion and people who have complained of ill effects from the spray from the Delta area, and other educational information on the use of the sub-stance and other insecticides will be given at a public meeting Fri-day, Aug. 3 at 8:30 p. m. in the Delta high school auditorium, ac-cording to Carl Frischknecht, dir-ector of the extension service of the USDA in Logan. Dr. M. E. Bird of Delta will give a report on his experience in this area and officials from the Utah State Health Department will give reports on the subject. Everyone is invited to attend but a special invitation is given to alfalfa seed producers, users of parathion and beekeepers. Mr. Frischknecht has just return-ed 'from a Western States Direc-tors' conference in! Moscow, Idaho. He will give a report on the use of parathion in the Northwest. On August 16 or 17 a public hearing on the provisions and en-forcement of the new insecticide law will be held in Detla under the direction of Mr. Tracy Welling, state commissioner of agriculture. Further details will appear in a later issue of the Chronicle. Protect The Bees To Insure Alfalfa Seed Prospects Prospects for an alfalfa seed crop is good so far this year. Those who have left first crop seed, in most cases, have a pretty good crop and second crop seed is com-ing along very nicely. However, in order to get the best results it is necessary to apply some kind of insecticide or another. The USDA still recommends DDT applied at the rate of 20 pounds of 10 dust or lVi pounds of technical DDT ap-plied as a spray per acre. If hay has come out in blos-som be'fore the insecticide has been applied toxaphene is recom-mended because it has less effect on bees. Aldrin is a new product that is being recommended very highly for the control of grasshoppers. A word of caution would be to be extremely careful in the appli-cation of any insecticide. If they will kill harmful bugs they will kill beneficial bugs and will also, in many cases, be harmful to man and animals. There is no doubt about the val-ue of the domestic lioney bee or the wild bee as a pollinator in alf-alfa seed production. If you kill them you will kill "the henthat laid the golden egg". If you have questions regarding the production of alfalfa seed feel free to call on the County Agent. Hinckley Holds Successful 24th Celebration Hinckley, as hosts on July 24th, completed another highly success-ful celebration of two days. Mon-day night was the opening of their amateur rodeo which has taken the fans by storm and was excep-tionally well attended both nights. The Twenty-fourt- h started at 5:30 a. m. with a salute. At 9 a. m. the parade went down the main street with 47 entries, being the largest Hinckley has ever had. Following the parade was the pro-gram in the chapel with speakers and musical numbers following a pioneer theme. Golden H. Black, as chairman of the county commissioners, was Marshal of the Day, with Mark S. Johnson and LaVar Owens as at-tendants. Mr. Black also spoke on the program. The Desert Sentinels presented a large part of the musical num-bers at the program. Directed toy the Primary the ear-ly part of the afternoon was given over to children's sports with lots of games and prizes. The ball game in the afternoon was won by Lynndyl by a two-poi-lead over the home team. Early evening found that the stands were packed with people for the second rodeo and every seat in the grand stand and blea-chers was filled. After the grand entry a memorial song, "Empty Saddles", was played at the rodeo dedicated to the memory of Fay Webb, who had been one of the star performers at the preceding amateur rodeos. George Talbot started the rodeo dft with his junior' riders who rode successfully a great number of calves. Following the juniors, the regular show went on with events coming in rapid order. Call riding, steer riding, bareback and saddle bronc riding, wild cow milking, calf roping and antics toy the clowns kept the fans entertained. A group of second graders did two square dances at intermission time, directed by Mrs. Bennett, their teacher.

New Safety Law, Effective Sept. 1, To Be Explained The first official explanation of Utah's new Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Law will be given to the people of the state next Wed-nesday in a radio address by Pub-lic Safety Commissioner Joseph W. Dudler, who has been given the sizeable job of administering the statute. His address will be broadcast ov-er a statewide net work in order that the commissioner's explan-ation of the new law may be heard throughout Utah. The Safety' Responsibility Law was adopted by the last session of the Legislature and becomes ef-fective Sept. 1. Between now and that date Commissioner Dudler plans to give the public adequate and accurate information about its purposes and requirements through the state's newspapers and .radio stations and by means of an of-ficial leaflet explaining the law's principal provisions in layman's language. The Department of Public Safety is making the leaflet available to motorists through gasoline and serJ vice stations. Every motorist should be sure to get one and read it carefully Commissioner Dudler said because it contains the information that will help them to avoid los-ing their operator's license and ownership registration under the new law. Lavonne Morrison Chosen to Head Red Cross Group Mrs. LaVonne Morrison was ap-pointed chairman of the west Mil-lard county chapter of the Amer-ican Red Cross this week, ac-cording to Mrs. Sepha Robison, g chairman. Having served as secretary to ithe organization under J. Avery Bishop, Mrs. Morrison has a back-ground in the work that will help her in continuing to run the chap-ter efficiently. Mrs. Robison is re-tiring the position after having served for the past four and one-ha- ll years. Former Residents To Hear Lee At Annual Meet Gov. J. Bracken Lee will be the guest speaker at the annual meet-ing of the former residents of Mil-- , lard County to be held Saturday, July 28, in the Bowery and Grand stand of Liberty Park in Salt Lake City.

Lee will give an address and then prominent people from the county and state will participate. Each town in the county will present a number on the program. Parathion Said Unable To Control Chalcid Many farmers are being told by one another that parathion can be used to irradicate the Chalcid fly from their alfalfa seed fields, ac-cording to rumors heard by Lee Rogers, assistant county agent. Mr. Rogers states that the con-dition under which the life cycle of the fly unfolds completely elim-inates the possibility of parathion being effective in controlling the pest. Only one generation of the fly is produced each year. The fly, which has wintered in such places as chaff stacks and similar rub-bish areas along ditches and fields, will emerge after May 1 to lay its eggs in the alfalfa field. The larva hatches inside the seed and feeds on it where parathion cannot reach it. There is some damage caused by the 'fly present in fields this sum-mer. "Sstng parathion to control it is a waste of time and money," Mr. Rogers claims. Proper control methods are to burn or feed up old chaff stacks before May 1 to get rid of the female fly. Ditch banks and areas where they can winter should be cleanly cultivat-ed before May. Delta First Ward Baked Food Sale Buy baked goods for your week end meals at the Food Sale this Saturday, July 28, sponsored by the Delta First ward Primary.
