Soil Meetings
Closed Tues
day, March y
Fifteen Sessions On Conser-
walton Program Largely
Attended
1900 PEOPLE PRESENT
County Agent Expects Heavy
Enrolment For This
Year

fifteen educational meetings ON
the new soils conservation program
were brought to q close ON Tues
day, March %. These meetings
were arranged through the county
agents office at st. Cloud and were
probably the best attended meet
ing that were scheduled to cover
the soils conservation program in
the last three years. More than
1900 people attended the fifteen
meetings in different communities
Of Stearns county. In years gone by
the participation in the conserva-
ton program in Stearns county
was splendid. In 1887 1926 farms
were measured and this represents
almost 80 per cent of the farm land
of the county. All indications point
to another heavy enrolment in the
program this year.
For this years program farm
and will be classified in soil depict
ing acreage and non-depleting acre
age. A number of farmers will
already have enough farm land on
their farm in the non-depleting
group to meet practically all Of the
requirements for the program. A
number Of others may have a small
acreage to divert from depicting to
the non-depleting class to meet the
requirements The requirements in
the non-depleting group this year
on which payments are based are
easier to meet than for any of the
previous years. All existing acre
ages Of alfalfa, clover and other
legumes and acreages of perennial
grasses will apply to meet the nom
depicting acreage goal. Acreage
still to be diverted from depicting
to non-depleting can be met by
leaving that acreage idle, planting
to sudan grass. millet or soy beans
for hay, or blowing under as green
manure growth of buckwheat or
small grain. AS in the past two
wears, tree planting on soil depict
ing land will likewise assist in
making up any deficient monde
pleting acres. The payment in 1888
compare very favorablv with the
payment schedule for the last two
years. The base acreages for depict
ing and non-depleting crops for
each farm are being worked out
now and will soon be available for
all farms. Producers who attended
the meetings just brought to a
close will generally have ample in
formation to plan their farm pro-
gram even though the exact base
acreage Is not known. In a short
time applications on the new pro-
gram will be accepted at sign-up
meetings in the county and also at
the county agents office, st. Cloud.

LIFT RESTRICTIONS
Amendment SO Broadens The
Scope OF Service For
City Purposes

In continuing the discussion of
the proposed City Charter change,
we wish to cIarKy-a, misunderstand-
ing. All amendments and repeats
necessary for the election Of the
members Of the Water, Light and
Power Commission win be submit
ted in one unit en- the ballot. and
one vote will suffice for all. AS
changes in several sections and the
repeal Of two sections are neces-
sary to accomplish the purpose,
says the City Attorney, It is neces-
sary to present them in a group for
consideration Of the voters. The
proposed amendments in this
group will include Sections 8, 6,
and 8, and the repeats necessary
will he Sections o. and IS. All 9th
er amendments and repeats will APP
pear separately on. the ballot and
each must he voted upon separate
ly. The proposed Charter changes
will be presented to the voters at
the City's annual election on Tues
day, April 9Th. =.
In the third paragraph Of Section
81, which pertains to the public
utility fund and the manner pres
criIbed for payment, the proposed
amendment broadens the intent of
purpose and lifts restrictions to
cover all funds. This paragraph, in
the proposed amendment reads as
follows: Section 9-(Third para

For comparison the paragraph in
the present Charter reads as fol
lows: THE commission shall pre-
scribe the manner of, and the per
son by whom all water and light
rentals shall be collected. All mon
eys received by the commission OF
any OF its employees shall be turn

be paid and accompanied by a pro
per bill and voucher
In the proposed amendment the
words public utility fund" have
been changed to read funds under
control Of the commission" to Gov
er all funds. It will also be noted
that part of the last sentence has
been Committed, as follows: stating
on it's face the person toEwhom it i.

new amendment 1t would. not lbe

However, the next night at
dinner a family portrait loos-

from the wall and practically

chair. The daughter Of the

Jones, gave one Mortified gasp.
