Unknown Hiinfer Shoots Power Line Down Sunday Sunday about 3:40 p. m. some thoughtless hunter shot the main 44,000 volt line down. This line furnishes power for all of Millard County. This lack of power is very serious to all businesses, especially those carrying products of a perish able nature; to the hospitals; to everyone depending on electricty for pumping their water, cooking their meals, heating their homes, ' etc. , ' Following is a list of towns out of power : Lynndyl, Leamington. Delta, Oak City, Sutherland, Abra-- . ham, Sugarville, Hinckley, Deseret, Oasis, Fillmore, Holden - Meadow, Kanosh Scipip, Flowell and many farms and ranches. . It is very serious shooting lines. Somebody may be on the operating table and may lose their life. At least the person shooting the line dovyi could let us know the loca-tion, that we could get service to the people in a shorter time. There are 50 miles of line to patrol between Delta and Nephi. We had 3 patrols out and one air-plane before we found the trouble. It was necessary to drive to Lynn-dyl and back to switch,. We hope people that shoot lines will stop and realize how serious it is. The South Line running ov-er the, mountain has been taken down by snow slides. There' are 20 feet of snow yet and the threat of more ' slides. There until it is repaired we cannot expect service from the South Line.

Dept. of Agriculture Urges Planting Of Feed Grains Now at planting season for the 1952 crop, we as a nation are con-fronted with a possible shortage of feed grains, as indicated by a recent report issued by the Bur-eau of Agriculture Economics. Plan ting intention reports show that the production goal for the four major feed grains will fall seven million tons short of the 128 mil-lion tons need to avoid any serious shortage. We have already felt the Impact of the low production of last sea-son and with the present intended crop, the reserve above our nor-mal working stocks will be vir-tually exhausted in 18 months. The production of feed grains largely govern the supply of meat, eggs and milk, which are so vitally needed by our increasing popula-tion in high employment periods. Farmers of Millard County are urged by all agencies oil the De-partment of Agriculture to make any possible increase in feed grain production, through increased ac-reage or by better farming prac-tices. It is to the farmers' advantage to see that adequate feed grain supplies are available. They also have the assurance of the announ-ced feed grain price supports. If present plans do not include maxi-mum production of feed grain It will be advisable to adjust plans now at the planting season to av-oid any shortage which might be disastrous in our county. Heavy Snows Retard Power Line Repairs Recent heavy snows on the mountain between Fillmore and Richfield have cause slides and heavy icing on the ronductors that have broken two poles and sever-ed one wire on the 44,000 volt electric power line spanning Para-dise Hollow, according to L. R. Fournier, general superintendent of Telluride Power company. Com-pany crews tried to reach the break with a "snow weasel" but were unable to do so because of the heavy wet condition of the snow. The crew continued on foot using webs for a distance of six miles to Paradise but were unable to reach and repair the damage because of the extreme snow slide hazard. The snow is about 25 feet deep. There would be no escape for the repair crew, should a slide occur. Electric power is being delivered to the Millard area direct from Ne-phi. The power company has doub-led its patrols and inspections of the lines from Nephi to Fillmore to insure against power failure. Repairs to the power line will be made without delay just as soon as it Is safe for line crews to enter Paradise Hollow. Utah State Fair Plans Taking Shape Plans for the 1952 Utah State Fair are rapidly being rounded out. The dates, September 13th through September 21st, have been set for several months. Already many plans for entertainment are being made, and the various ex-hibit buildings are being renovat-- I ed in preparation of what is pre- - dieted to be the greatest fair in the history of Utah. This year the state fair is to be combined with an Intermoun-tai- n Industrial Exposition, and special areas are being set apart for the displays of many of the large industries In the west. It Is expected that this show will prove to the people of Utah and the west, the vast expansion of indus-try in the area during the past few years, and also give an idea of the importance of Industry in the economic life of. our people. Again the various military in-stallations throughout the west will be featured, with many new ideas in all branches of the mili-tary set-u- p on display. Utah's bus-iness is now being aided through the employment of over 60,000 peo- - pie in these various installations, and it will be the exhibits of these activities that will be shown. Plans, are also under way to open the fair with an 80 piece military band from the Sixth Army Head-quarters. Special equipment will be flown from the coast areas es-pecially to be shown at the fair. In addition exhibit space has been allotted to many of the large na-tional manufacturers and produc-ers, anxious to make the people of this section better acquainted with their products. In 1951, the Utah State Fair rea-ched a high peak In attendance that has attracted national atten-tion. Efforts are to better the rec-ord in 1952. State Fair To Feature Farm Bureau The Utah State Farm Bureau will play an important part in the 1952 State Fair. Each year a day has been set aside at the fair for the Farm Bureau, but in the past it was just a desgnation with only a slight program being offered. This year's Fair will see a 'full day's activity, all in charge of the Farm Bureau and Frank Shelley, cofrotnrv nf the organization, has been placed in charge of this new program.
