CHANGE:
It was just about one year ago
that the only cabin boat on the
Gaston Lake area was the one
pulling Eaton's Ferry. Now, the
old place has been covered up
forever and it's nothing unusual
to see cabin boats speeding all
over the place. Things might
be slow right now but don't
be too Impatient, spring is a
round the corner. The pictures
verify the contrast.
A recent tour around the lake

TCBACCO:
An overflowing crowd of tob

at the annual production tobacco
meeting. Due to the unusual
tobacco situation, Interest in
varieties and their disease
resistance was a highlight of
the meeting. It was further
emphasized that we must put
up with the same varieties as
were available In 1963 but hope
was bright that a faw additional

We have a few extra copies
left of the meeting summary
just for the asking.

most of western Utah and
parts of Idaho and Nevada. Re

evaporation. The percentage of

Farmers Hit Hard
Blow By Weeds
Weeds may be hitting farmers
for a bigger loss than they rea
lize.
A. D. Worsham, extension
weed specialist at North Car
olina State, reports scientists
are finding a new side effect
of weeds.
"We have long known that
weeds rob us by taking water,
light and mineral nutrients from
our crops," Worsham explain
ed. "This, of course, lowers
crop yields and quality.
"Scientists are finding more
and more evidence that many
weeds also inhibit the growth
of surrounding crop plants by
releasing toxins or growth-In
hibiting substances."
The growth-Inhibiting power
of weeds has been shown in
experiments on quackgrass and
more recently on knapweed.
Growth of tomato and barley
plants was Inhibited In soils
naturally infested with knap
weed and in soils artlfically
Infested with powdered knap
