SOIL CONSERVATION
REQUIREMENTS STATED

According to information e
ceived at the office of George w.
Gustafson, Secretary of the Agri-
cultural Conservation Association,
sugar beet payments on the 1888
sugar beet crop will not be made
unless the soil conserving prac-
tices are fully met.
Credit will not be given for par
TALLY meeting the soil conserva-
ton practice requirements. 1t is
urged therefore that every farm
err in Big Horn county who an
ticipates producing beets in 1888
familiarize himself with the soil
conserving requirements. This in
formation may be received by con-
sulting the sugar beet fieldman,
the County Agent, or the County
committee of the Agricultural
Conservation Association.
In brief, not less than one acre
of soil-conserving practices for
each acre of sugar beets planted
on the farm for harvest in 1888
is required. Each of the following
shall be deemed one acre soil
conserving practices: Cd Main

When you open a new charge

credit manager is a discerning
gentleman who knows an honest

which convinced him of your in

That agency is dit of 1900 local

with others throughout he world.
So thoroughly coordinated are the
bureaus that former residents OF
Sidney, Australia, or Rio de jan
GIRO, can open charge accounts in
Detroit or San Francisco as easily
as if they had always lived there.
How we'll the system works may be
seen from the fact that depart
