The soil conservation campaign
closed in Somerset County several
weeks ago with the filing of about
Ats work sheets by $50 farmers in the
county.
Data from the work sheets have
been listed by county agent G. q.

1t is necessary to organize County

community committees and directors
similar to the Corn-Hog and Wheat
Associations under the AAA.
The program is to be in charge of
officials of the association who are
to be elected to community meetings
by the farmers who have signed work
sheets. The filing of work sheets
gives the farmers membership in the
association.
The following community meetings
have been arranged by County Agent
C. z. Keller in cooperation with the
Somerset County Farm Bureau.
Marion, Schoolhouse, Wednesday ev-
ening, July 10Th, 1880 o'clock; West
over, Schoolhouse, Thursday evening,
July 3Oth, 1870 o'clock: Costen, Quin-
ton Hall, Friday evening, July 31st,
1880 o'clock; Princess Anne, Court
house, Saturday afternoon, August
LIST, o'clock.
All farmers are urged to attend
these meetings as new features of the
Conservation program will be dis
cussed and it is also planned to have

the county roads.

each side is strong enough to keep the other from getting away with very much.
 The big question mark Is Mayor s. Davis Wilson, elected two years ago as Q democratic city Comptrol- Ter, elected last November for may or on tho republican ticket, and still . democrat by registration, because he never changed his registry. Wilson operates strong ly pro o.labor administration and months ago joined with democrats and business men to get the C0n- venti0n here.
 Davis wants to run for governor in 1888 and if he thinks this year looks good for the democrats he may declare for Roosevelt.
 He controls some 10000 jobholders from city hall, Q powerful cohesive force, and any such declaration would almost surely mean Q New Deal cleanup in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.
 Barring any such development, 1t seems the contest here will be Q horse race, with present odds slight- ly favoring the republicans. Copyright, lo36, NElA Service, Incl
