ible attendance at sign-up meetings
without the participants making
long trips to the county office at
st. Cloud.
This week beginning on Fri

attend these meetings. The sche-
dule Of these meetings Is as fol-

In 1889 almost 400 farms agreed
to participate in the program and
almost $50 of these were in COM
pliance and will receive payments
hoR lhc past year.
During the past week 1913 Of the
1889 agricultural conservation
checks arrived in the county, ac-
cording to the couty agents office
st. Cloud. This number amounting
to $93,195 were distributed on Fri.
day and Saturday of the past week
This is about one-fourth of the
number to be received in Stearns
county. Representatives of the
state agricultural conservation
committee have assured local Of
ficials that the remaining number
will be paid in the very near fut-
ure
For the year 1888 payments on
the agricultural conservation pro-
gram in the county totalled to al
most $4,000. 1t Is believed that
the 1889 payments when complete
will surpass this amount.
Stearns county All leaders chang.
ed the policies concerning the ORA
matte Festival for 1910 for All club
members. A new understanding
that dramatics is the answer for
a desire to express oneself rather
than compete with another lead to
the decision.
The present policy of All leaders
The Sauk Centre herald., 1940-02-29

is "a To have every club present
a one-act play for their own COM
munity (2) To present their play
as entertainment in two other
communities, (3 To give every
member an opportunity to be a
part Of the play or of the plays
production.
Plans are underway for select
ion Of plays and presentation Of
them.
AS part of the educational pro-
gram on the AAA program this
year, the local agricultural conser-
vaticn committee and the county
agents office are securing the SER
vices Of Mrs. A J. Mcclure. Mrs.
Mcclure will speak at four meet
ings in the county on March 4 and
5. Mrs. Mcclure has a splendid
background for fitting into the AAA
program. Being a farm reared
woman she knows agricultural
problems in detail. For a number
CT years she was active in the work
of the Grand Rapids experiment
station here in Minnesota and
still later while her late husband
was an extension worker at Uni
versity Farm, she was close to the
agricultural problems of Mime
sofa. Since 1888 she has been quite
steadily employed in the field SER
vice of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration. Farm wcm-
en- especially are urged by the
county agents office to hear one of
Mrs. McGuire's talks. The sche-
dule Of the meetings at which she
will speak Is as follows:
March 200 pm. Parochial
school Albany.
March 4 500 p. m. Village Hall
Kimball.
March 200 p. m. Opera House
Belgade.
March 5 500 p. m. Community
Club Room, Sauk Centre.
In view of the fact that the
AAA program affects farm income
directly and that farm women are
primarily interested in farm in
come, a large attendance of rural
women Is expected at these meet.
ings. Consumers in our towns and
cities likewise have an interest in
the AAA program. Fer that rea.
son city consumers are also urged
to attend one Of these meetings.
Well and favorably known are
the benefits Of trees and shrubs
around the farmstead as an aid in
winter and cool in summer, says
County Agent E. c. Lenzmeier, but
we often overlook the fact tina,
the same principle holds true fol
the protection of crops by field
windbreaks.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1940-02-29

A strip Of trees and shrubs along
the windward side of a field will
cast its shadow" Of protection for
a distance of Is to 20 times the
height Of the trees, according to
information Mr.. Lenzmeier re-
ceived recently from Parker o.
Anderson, extension forester, I'm
iversity Farm, st. Paul. Benefits
that come from a field barrier cf
this type include: greatly increased
soil moisture, reduced evaporation,
snow protection for legume seed
ings and winter grain reduction of
wind erosion and soil fertility and
the cooling Of hot parched winds
that often burn up crops about
harvest time.
The means for starting a money
making field windbreak of this
type are within the reach of pract-
ically every farmer this year Mr..
Lenzmeier says. A special prcvis-
ion in the 1910 AAA program sets
UP an allowance of $50 for every
farm which can be earned only
by planting trees. This payment
Is in addition to regular crop con-
troll and soil building payments
and will be paid to cooperating
farmers of landlords at the rate
OF $3.50 per acre where trees of
recommended varieties are planted
in accordance with good tree cul-
ture methods. Trees can be secured
from a number of reputable nurse
ries at rather attractive prices.

Activity and Amount, Value
of Work Shows Increase
Over Past Years.

A $68, 18375 timber business was done
within the Superior National Forest
during the fiscal year ending June 30.
There was considerable increase in
activity over past years, and the amount
and value of the products cut and sold
are greatly in excess of that for any
recent year.
Timber sold totaled 22.858,000 board
| feet and had a value of SAG, 238. "A.
There were $4,000 board feet of tim
Der cut with a vlue of $21, 1881.
It is estimated that in order to cut
and manufacture the various products
listed for the year, 5000 man days were
necessary in addition to an estimated
1000 man days required for the haul
ing of the products.
In the sale of national forest timber,
the purchaser agrees to employ 80 per
cent of his workers from the surround
ing territory This prohibits the i'm
portation of labor, and makes the work
available to residents of forest COM
munitieS.
The timber on government land in
most sales is especially marked fol-
cutting. Brush disposal is carried on
in order to reduce the fire hazard, and
to promote the regeneration of the cut
over area. In all sales roadside zones
are protected from promiscuous cutting
and this policy is carried out along lake
shores and streams.
Practically all of the sales of timber
were less than $500 in value, these being
AL out of a total of Asst. Three were
between $5O1 and $1,000, II between
$1,001 and $1,000, and one was ovel
$1,000
There were $4,000 cords of pulpwooe
sold. Much of it is being peeled a
! this time, and it is estimated that 4Ot
men are employed at this work. In
sofar as employment is concerned aftel
. the peeling ends the middle of August
the pulpwood will have to be drayeC
later in the fall, with an estimated 6,
/ teams being used, and hauled by truck
to loading points, with 40 to so truck
employed. Immediately following tn,

: The bulk of the timber sales, which

r wood contracts valued at 81 for tn
personal use of the purchaser to larg

to cut and remove the product. Eacl

S work is completed. At the end of tn
4 past year this fund totaled $3,3O7.19.
