FSA SUPERVISOR
ANNOUNCES SOIL
CONSERVING

Farmers unable to participate
in the 1899 soil conservation pro-
gram because of lack of funds for
material to carry out soil building
practices, may now secure Farm
Security Administration loans for
this purpose through the local
AAA committee, Redwood coun-
ty, L. w. Postage, FSA's county
supervisor announces.
According to the county super
visor, the entire amount of the
loan must be used for alfalfa or
clover seed, lime, fertilizer or
other supplies which will be need
ed in carrying out approved soil
building practices. The amount
loaned will not exceed 60 per cent
of the approximate AAA payment
and will be secured by an assign
ment of that payment. In order to
be eligible for these FSA loans, ar
applicant must be recommended
by the AAA county committee
and unable to secure the necess-
airy credit elsewhere, Mr.. Foss-
hage stated.
This is in line with the FSA's
policy of making loans only to
farmers unable to secure credit
from any other source. The bor-
rover who can get the financing
which he needs from his bank or
any private institution, is not
eligible for FSA loans.
All applications for loans must
be made at the Redwood county
AAA office in Redwood Falls.

were close in and seven free
tries of 10 chances.
Hutchinson held a z to 3 lead
at the first quarter, was trailing
IL to II at the half and 20 to 19
at the third quarter. Then Lang
sank his fourth basket making
the lead three points. Schramm
dropped in two free tries to re-
duce the lead again and Ogren
sank a short one to put Hutch in
front. With Ave minutes left,
Bruhn dropped gift shot and the
Hutch fans went wild as Smith
countered Lauterbach's free shot
with goal, making the score
1928 with three minutes left.
Lauterbach sank another after
being fouled but BRUINS lone field
try was timely and Lang's fifth

that their accommodations at the White

when a former King and Queen visited
there. Mrs. Browning answered with a

anything new in politics. Mrs. Moore
told of seeing The Holy Land made by
the Gauci Brothers of Malta, which was

people, and was surely piece of work
worth preserving and making public, and

message should be of interest, especially
to our many farm-interested members.

duty. Last Friday full length 30-min-

The principle character, Old Jeff, a
typical drug store" farmer had little
regard for the efforts of those with
vision when it came to burning off in
the spring time or any other time. He
was thoroughly convinced and hard to
change that his ways and practices
were not the correct way.
About the time that what had once
been beautiful forests were beginning to
resemble telephone posts in a desert
and the gentle slope were becoming can
cerous, Old Jeff saw the error of his
persistent stubborness and joined with
other neighbors to discard for good the
foolish practices followed.
The picture doesn't end here, but we
hope you have the opportunity of seeing
it and profit therefrom.
