Blood Tuesday by a committee headed oy S. M. Jorcensen, president of tho I' tali V.'oulgro.vers' association. The estimates presented show th.it in 1-1 locations in all parts of the state, but largely on the western desert, des-ert, so-called, 3030 men could be em-p'oyed em-p'oyed for a six months' period, vastly vast-ly increasing the worth and accessibility accessi-bility of the forage arrowing there and at the same time improving tha outlook of an industry which at present pres-ent is financed by the government to the extent of 75 or SO per cent. The governor was asked to consider the plan as submitted, ami, if it meets i his apj vo:il, to present it to the proper officials at Washington. Camp locations suggested and the! number of men that would be re- quired to accomplish indicated wo'k at each were presented as follow: Antelope Springs, Iron county. 1931 men for six months; Wah Wah, Bea-1 ver county, 1S9 men; Blackrock, Mil- lard, 223; Burbank, Miliar.!, 351:1 AnUlope, Millard, 411; Trout creek.

The work as outlined contemplates j the construction of 219 miles of pipe lines, 394 reservoirs. 107 wells, 35,000 feet of troughs, G90 miles of truck trails, 234 miles of fence, 2T5 miles of telephone lines, 49 warehouses, ware-houses, 10 shelter houses and T2 spring developments. Mr. Jorgeneen was accompan:ed by J. A. Hooper, secretary of the Woolsrrowers' association, and I. li. Jacobs, 'treasurer and manager of the Wasatch Livestock Loan com- j pany. They represented, ' they to'di the governor, two larger committee, one composed of various stockmen's the forest service, the Utah Education Educa-tion asociation and similar organizations organ-izations interested in the range, and the other the state advisory committee com-mittee on the C. C. C. mork. These bodies have been at work for some time, it was represented, working on the plan and its presentation. It was suggested that, should the federal government not care to undertake un-dertake such a program, as not hav- ing control of the public range, it might be suggested as an alternative j that the state land board might make elections of areas of the range, and I that the O. C. C . and the public I works administration might cooper-j cooper-j ate with the state in the range improvement im-provement program as submitted. I The program was presented with : a resolution which recites that 95 : per cent of the area of the state is ! not subject to farming, and that GO ' per cent of the crops are given over ! to the livestock industry, supple-j supple-j menting and making possible the utilization Kf the forage produced ' on the larger area. ! The statement is made that the large areas are largely without roads or trails and the estimate is present- ed that the absence of such com-I com-I munication led to the loss of 100,000 j head of sheep last spring on the des-!ert des-!ert and along the trails leading therj-from. therj-from. The financial interest of the government in the success of the flocks, through loans made by the Wasatch company of by the rural j credit assoriation, is advanced as a ' reason why the government should be interested in such employment for the C. C. C. The committee also presented a resolution asking for the use of $590,000 for predatory animal con- biological survey. |
