years of age and under in Crook
county have been adequately im-
munized against the seven pre-
ventable diseases. "But we know
that approximately 77 children
lack protection against polio, 24
against measles, 23 against re-
bella, 27 against mumps, and 63
against diphtheria, tetanus, and
whooping cough," she said.
She urged parents, particularly
those with children who will enter
Crook county schools for the first
time next fail, to check and begin
updating immunization records as
soon as possible. School children,
need at a minimum, four doses of
each of DTP or Td and polio
vaccines, and one dose each of
measles, rubella, and mumps
vaccines.
"Last fall, we found that some
parents had not kept proper
records of their childrens' im-
munizations, so a number of
youngsters had to be re-
immunized to remain in school,"
she said.
Emphasizing the importance of
immunization, Keys noted that in
the event of a disease outbreak in
a given school, children without
proof of up-to-date immunizations
would not be allowed to attend
school until the danger was over.
She pointed to the importance
of full immunization for older
Crook County Public Health
Nurse Marilyn Keys said this
week that immunization clinics
have been scheduled in three
towns in the county. The clinics
will accommodate the needs of all
ages of children and students.
Clinics are being held in Moor-
croft the first Friday of every
month, in Sundance starting May
14 and continuing the second
Wednesday of each month, and in
Hulett starting in June.
Nearly 84 percent of Crook
county's school children age ten
and under have met the require-
ments of Wyoming's manatory
immunization law, but an esti-
mated 93 children still need one
or more immunizations, accord-
ing to the county public health
n~'se.
The immunization law, enacted
by the State Legislature in 1979,
requires that school children ten
years of age and under provide
documented proof that they have
been immunized against polio,
measles, rubella, mumps, dipt-
theria, tetanus, and whooping
cough. Waivers are provided for
children on the basis of religion
and sound medical reasons.
Ms. Keys said a report com-
piled recently by the State Divi-
sion of Health and Medical Ser-
vices shows that 476 children ten
The 28th and 29th of April was
spent in Torrington at the second
annual Dow Chemical Western
Regional Fly-in. This year the
fly-in was composed of an eve-
ning meeting on noxious weed
control which included a lot of
interesting and helpful informa-
tion. Although I believe the in-
formation obtained at the pattern
testing and evaluation program
held the next morning would be
most interesting to landowners.
Especially those of you used to
using the Tordon 2G beads fi)r
Canada thistle, Leafy spurge and
other troublesome weeds.
Most of you probably know by
now that the Tordon beads are
being remanufactered and will be
called Tordon 2K pellets. The
Pattern testing and evaluation
program in Torrington was an
excellent opportunity to see the
new product. It was also the first
time the new pellets were applied
by commercial applicators. ~ far
the new pellets look very pro-
rnising.
The manufacturing differences
between the beads and pellets are
as follows, first the pellets will

High interest and tight credit
are the basis of many manage-
rnent decisions Wyoming farmers
and ranchers are making this
spring. Farm prices are steady to
lower in most cases and fuel,
fertilizer, and other essential fac-
tors of farming have skyrocketS.
Cash flow has been an age old
problem of farmers and ranchers
because producers usually have a
high percentage of their assets
tied up in storage, machinery,
etc.
The young farm family is most
vulnerable because of a large
debt and little equity. The older
farmer or the farmer that has an
established operation and large
equity will probably weather the
recession in fair shape,
This hour of agriculture doom
need not be any worse than
necessary. Sound management
decisions will be the key to
survival among many farmers and
ranchers, young or old, new or
established.

have a nitrogen base instead of
Boron which is beneficial in two
aspects, one: with the nitrogen
base a hundred pounds per acre
application of the pellets will also
apply approximately 15 tx)unds of
nitrogen [mr acre, which is a fair
amount for range grass. Two:
theoretically you should also re-
ceive better control due to the fact
that the nitrogen will enhance the
uptake of the chelnical. So the
nitrogen based pellets shouki be
beneficial in all aspects.
The only downfall I can per-
ceive in the new 2K pellets is that
they have to t)ackage them in 50
pound fiberpak drums due to the
reason that the nitrogen carrier is
soft and would powderize if they
were packed in pal)er bags. It is
unknown for sure right now but I
believe the 2K pellets will result
in weed control equal to or better
than the beads. The actual pro-
cessing procedure of the 2K pel-
lets should hopefully have begun

avoid possible cash flow prob-
lems.
The cash flow sheet analyses
expected income and expenses
for the coming fiscal year. It will
also show borrowing and repay-
ment plans.
The Income Statement deter-
mines the amount and sources of
net income. This is usually
figured at the end of the year but
is a valuable tool in making
financial decisions throughout the
fiscal year.
1. Consider the capital require-
ments for a crop before estab-
lishing a crop plan.
2. Evaluate capital purchases
carefully. Answer questions like,
"'Will custom hiring be better
than machinery replacement?"
3. Carefully evaluate present
inventories. Stockpiling will only
be profitable if product supply is
short and availability doubthtl,
price increases appoaf to be
higher than interest cost for the
holding period, or cash discounts
are greater than interest costs
children, though state law re-
quires protection against the
seven childhood diseases only for
children ten years of age and
under.
"A survey by the Division of
Health and Medical Services in
1978 indicated that immunization
levels for children in high school
and junior high were notably
lower than those for younger
children," she said. "This is
unfortunmte and presents a po-
tentially dangerous situation
since older children are exposed
to the same risks presented by
communicable diseases.
The public health nurse said
college students are welcome to
participate in the clinics since
immunizations are often manda-
tory for college entrance. She
asked that they see her during the
~heduled clinics whenever pos-
sible, but added that they may
make an appointment if another
time is more convenient.

on Crook county's immunization
program and the requirements of
the state immunization law are
available from her office located
at the old county shop building in
Sundance; her telephone number

during the holding period prior to
its use.
4. Always pay high interest
loans first when receiving prompt
payment for produced goods.
5. Be extremely carefull when
considering the storage of holding
marketable commodities. Interest
cost may out weigh the expected
price increase,
Many producers have already
taken these factors into consid-
eration. Some of the suggestions
will not work for every operation,
but with the present financial
situation in agriculture, any sug-
gestion merits consideration.
If producers would like to see
financial systems models, they
are available at the Crook County
Extension Office.
ESC gives labor
force report
Labor force in Crook County
was up 1.9 percent in March,
1980, over the previous year. The
number stood at 2,237 this year as
compared to 2,196 a year ago. A
total of 63 were reported unem-
ployed for an unemployment rate
of 2.8 percent as compared to 2.9
percent a year ago.
Statewide the Employment Se-
curity Commission (ESC) of Wy-
oming reports March, 1980, pre-
liminary estimates of 226,026 la-
bor force and an unemployment
rate of 3.9 percent. The March
labor force was up over eight
percent from that reported in
March, 1979. The March unem-
ployment rate compares with 4.1
percent in February and 2.9 per-
cent in March, 1979.

A white elephant silent auction
Well, hello, finally from your
state representative. I have been
busy being a housewife, grand-
mother and ranch hand for a few
weeks. I have been doing quite a
bit of side work but nothing too
exciting as of yet.
I attended the Nieman Sawmill
meeting on the power plant and
the possibility of a gasohol plant
and have been working on the
money for the feasibility study.
We have formed a committee of
the three sawmill owners, Jw
Nuckolls and myself to try and get
this money and get started on this
very important plant. It has a
great deal of possibilities and
promise for development of our
natural resources in this county.
If we can get it started I am sure
we will see many more such
plants in other parts of the state
especially in South Dakota. The
timber industry is in deep trouble
at this time and has many people
laid off of work in Wyoming,
South Dakota, and Colorado. My
friends in the industry feel it is a
very gloomy outlook at this time.
It again will reflect right back to
us the consumer and we will once
again pay the price.
I also have been attending the
Black Hills Forest Planning com-
mittee meetings along with Frank
and Nels Smith. It is a very
complex process and I still am
concerned over how all of it will
come out in the long run, but the
public will have a chance to
comment very soon.
I was recently relected presi-
dent of Outdoors Unlimited, Inc.
for a second term and just re-
turned from Denver where I at-
tended a meeting on the Alaskan
Lands Lockup and learned that we
are over 80 percent dependent on
foreign countries for minerals.
We have an abundance of min-
erals of all kinds being locked up
in Alaska and Montana by wild-
erness. It is scary to find we
could have problems building
defense vehicles if we should be
shut off from getting these min-
erals from Russia and other Com-
munist countries, but we are not
going to allow development of
these minerals on our own lands.
It is spooky to say the least.
The State of Wyoming has once
again received 601 Energy Impact
Assistance Program monies. This
money can be used for site ac-
quisition and site development of
public facilities and housing. If
you are interested in these
monies, Crook County is eligible
to receive some and you can
contact DEPAD {Department of
Economic Planning and Develop-
ment} for more details immedi-
ately, to possibly be in line for
next years monies as this years
monies have already been allo-
cated, but if this continues an-
other year you might be eligible.
Planning funds may still be avail-
able.
I will be going to Reno Nevada
in June to represent Wyoming at
the Public Lands Meeting of the
Western States Conference of the
Council of State Governments and
give a report on Wyoming's Sage
Brush Rebellion Bill.
The State Forestery Advisory
Board will be meeting in Crook
County on May 20 and we will be
touring some of the forestry in-
dustries and timber projects on
state lands on that day. We are
trying to improve state lands and
increase their output and income
from the timber industry. This
forestry division is also commit-
ted to helping private landowners
with their forestry problems and
with tree marking and assistance.
I have decided to run for re-
election and have announced this
week. I feel I can truly do this
county justice and feel after two
years of breaking in I can serve
you fairly and justly with some
working knowledge of our prob-
lems and our needs. I hope to visit
with more of you during the
summer and listen to your prob-
lems, and perhaps we can solve
some of them. I have been very
fortunate as a freshman legislator
to have entered three bills and
have them all passed. I had one
bill co-sponsored with Bruce Mc-
Million that we lost in the Senate
the last three days. If I return, we
will resubmit to correct the re-
tirement statutes for Game and
Fish personnel and Highway Pa-
trol personnel ofter they retire. I
also feel a personal victory over
passage of the G Form Legislation
as I was not the sponsor but did
go to the Governor and suggested
the Legislation by a past Live-
stock Board member and helped
very hard with its passage. It
corrects the statutes and gives us
the right to use the G Form if we
use it properly and continue to
watch the statutes. I also feel
that at last the rest of the state
finally knows where Crook County
is and some of our needs, and that
I am ready to fight for us first and
foremost. I have developed a
working relationship with the
members of the Senate and the
House and feel I can do a valuable
job for Crook County. Until I get
back from Reno----
