County Fights Back As Winter
Continues Tight Hold On Area
Snowfall Totuling 90 inches
Since January II Exceeds
Thut OF 1886 Storm

A real old-fashioned winter
storm, with high winds piling up
large drifts amid bitter cold has
isolated most sections of Garrett
county and has practically para
lyzed all activity. Business is vir-
tually at standstill.
With the storm continuing UNI
abated the county was making
only partial recovery and there
we're indications that conditions
might get worse before they began
to get better.
Around ninety percent of the
county roads were completely
blocked while the State roads crews
we're working around the clock in
an effort TO have at least one-lane
traffic, but this was found to be
impossible as the snow was blown
back into the tracks as soon as the
plows forced an opening.
The picture this morning was
not too bright in regard to state
highways. Both routes 40 and 50
were open. and route 219, from
Oakland to Red House, was open.
From Red House to the West Vir-
ginia line, however, was still closed.
| as was PIG. from Cove TO Kevser
Ridge.
Extra crews we're working last
night on route $50, from Gormania
to Loeb Lynn, and this was ex-
pected TO be open. Route 80 to-
ward Terra Alta, was open, but the
road from Grantsville to Kurtz
Corner was closed
County roads equipment was be-
ing used yesterday and today only
for emergencies, in getting i'll
persons to hospitals, etc They
were waiting for the high wind to
die down before tackling the snow
packed highways.
Utilities for the most part we're
operating on full time basis.
There was a power failure at Kitz-
miller, Shallmar and Elk Garden
until 4 p NJ, on Monday because a
high tension line from Westernport
had been broken by the high wind
and cold A section around Under
wood was also without power for
! several hours when a connecting
pin broke. Workmen reached the
area through Crellin after having
10 walk for about one and one-half
miles
Telephone lines fortunately were
in working order but very much
. overloaded
People Are Understanding
Virgil Steyer, at the County
Roads garage, declared that people
as a whole were very understand
ing about the situation. Only
few calls had been critical of the
efforts of the roads department TO
keep the roads open. Most every
one was aware Of the tremendous
job they were doing,

that between $500 and $4,000 was

Noble County ASC News

The lamb payment rate of 33
cents per hundredweight is de-
termined as for past years on
the basis of the average weight
of wool per 100 pounds of lamb,
the value of lamb wool in rela-
ton to shorn wool, and the
average shorn wool incentive
payment per pound. The aver
age weight of lamb wool per
100 pounds of lamb is assumed
to be 5 pounds for payment pur-
poses. Because lamb wool is gen
orally coarser in grade and short
er in staple length, the lamb
wool value for payment pur-
poses has been set at 80 percent
of shorn wool value. The lamb
payment of 33 cents per hundred
weight of live animal is five (the
average weight of wool in
pounds per 100 pounds of lamb)
times &c cents which is 80 per-
cent of the difference 1913 cents)
between the average price re-
ceived by producers for shorn
wool and the incentive price.
Substantially the same pro-
gram as for 1857 is being con-
tinued for the 1858 marketing
year which began April l. The
wool incentive price is being
continued at 81 cents per pound
grease basis. The payment rates
for the 1858 marketing year will
be determined in mid-1959 when
the average price for 1858 wool
marketings become known. The
wool and unshorn lambs must
be marketed between April l.,
1853, and March 81, 1859, to be
eligible for payments under the
1858 program. Each producer
who owns lambs for 80 days or
more and sells them unshorn is
eligible for a payment. Produc-
ers or feeders who buy unshorn
lambs and later sell them un-
Shorn or shear them and sell the
wool will have their payments
adjusted downward by the
amount of payment due on the
weight of unshorn lambs pur-
chased. Under this method, ORR
