ticable and feasible within the

agricultural lands within Mont
gomery County. These hearings
are being held in response to a
petition submitted by Montgomery

ty farmers is favorable toward the
formation of this proposed soil
conservation district, the State
Committee will conduct a referen-
dunn. If the majority of the farm
ers residing in the proposed Dis
trict, which includes all of Mont
