Mr.. w. E. Ammons, Contact Re-
representatives., Agricultural Adjust
ment Agency, reminded farmers of
the State that Tuesday, January Is,
1916, is the final date for report
ing performance under the il945
Agricultural Conservation Program.
Under provision of the program,
farmers who expect to receive as
sistance payments under the l945
farm program must file reports of
performance by January Is in order
to be eligible for such assistance.
Performance reports can be made
at the county office or to county
or community committeeman.
Now, that the war is over; the
AAA farm program is once. more
emphasizing longtime conservation
measures, Mr.. Ammons said today.
"As long as we had to keep food
moving to war fronts, we had to
do everything we could to increase
yields and total crop production,
no matter what the cost, Mr.. Am
mons, explained. "Now we have
to start putting back the sod fer
tility to be used to help win the
war"
= The 1916 AA program should be
a big help to farmers in convert
ing their farms to peacetime pro-
duction, the Contact Representative
said. Money authorized by Congress
for the program has been allotted to
counties. AS far as possible, it will
be spent in obtaining the soil i'm
provements needed on individual
farms.
Because the main consideration in
developing 1916 farm plans will
be the conservation needs of each
farm, more farmers are expected
to cooperate this year. At the same
time, farmers will be asked to pay
a larger percentage of the cost of
carrying out practices, so conserva-
ton assistance under the program
can be extended to more farms.
AAA Committees will be respon-
Sible for getting as much conserva-
ton as they can for the money al
lotted to the county.
Each farmer will be able to 90
over his plans with his committee
man, and pick out approved prac-
tees for his farm In order to keep
a close check on practices, the ceun-
ty committee is requiring farmers
who wish AAA assistance to- get
approvay in advance.

GEORGETOWN GOSSIP
Well I guess you know this is
the latest 1--WE, d. NJ M. stayed in
town Saturday night until eight
o'clock for the first time in 1916
wonder what going to happen? E. L.
M. and A. T. L. were taking their
Christmas ogether in Georgetown.
A. T. L. fell for w. A. @. like
ton OF bricks. H. L. d. will have
something to say about that E. L.
M. was really on the ball Saturday
night, was she joyridding? L. G.
don't get around much anymore
since the sailor has been in town,
that's what H. L. D. says.
w. A. @. seems to be straddled
the fence, he doesn't know whether
he is in love with H. l.. D. or A. T.
L.
A. D. M. is getting on the skinny
side, watch out A. D. you had better
see the doctor. w. G. c. has been
worried since she saw that picture
of her sailor with a beautiful young
lady, watch out w. c., he has
monkey on your back. E. L. M.
is very popular and if she keeps
on she will soon be a glamour
girl. j. L. B. looks lonesome since
he got his discharge, wonder who's
going to take charge of him?
L. D. M. says she the key to G.
BIS heart and unlocks' it any old
time, there are others who wish
they were in her shoes.
Tell me how many cars were at
H. L. DIS house Wednesday night?
l think l.. G.. is heartbroken over
that. / guess there will be some
biting and scratching between D.
M. M. and L. M. D. since A. w.
returned from service and received
his honorable discharge.

not provide opportunity for all to
work cannot endure. Failure to use
the full productive power of the
nation is to shorten the future. 1t
is real labor applied to real material
on real machines that means real
wealth. To fail to use such labor
is to make the future poorer in a
material sense, and, when we con-
slider what happens to the mind
and heart of the unemployed
man, it is to make the future poorer
likewise in a spiritual sense. Too
many men who objected quite pro-
perly to the killing of little pigs
were silent in the presence of mass
unemployment in which a mans
self-respect is killed and as a re-
suit of which we failed to produce
necessary goods, as far as true
wealth is concerned, has precisely
the same effect as the destruction
of goods. The sorry spectacle of
idle machines, unused materials.
and unemployed men present at
one time do not makes sense. Our
future wealth is dependent upon
the full use of the machines, full
production of materials, and full
employment.

thlrty-four years in Balivia and
exercised his profession here, know
ing that our native people needed
medical aid, went (to the U. S. Al

carry to humble homes his good
and kind aid. In the unfortunate
days of Bolivia. he went with the
first military forces to Chaco, in
1882, and stayed through their hours
of glory and adversely. Finally, from
funds from his own country, he
erected the Clinica Americana,
where the poor and unfortunate
find a comfortable, warm, and af-
fectionate place"

Crows Provide Excellent Wing Shoot
ing As Outdoor Snort

ing As Outdoor Sport
During the Christmas holidays
give the shootin' iron warm up and
try crow shooting. Many club MEM
bers engage in the activity and find
such shooting not only provides a
great deal of sport, but is profitable
too.
With the club paying a bounty of
25c for crows it pays to hunt the
black rascals.
The past year $40 crows were bag
ged by club members at a cost of
$500 to the organization. Money
well spent too, for these marauders
destroy countless thousands of phea-
SAINT eggs during the nesting season.
Next year the directors hope this
number will be doubled
The predator committee headed by
Russell Montgomery says the club
expended S107.75 last year for the
control program. In addition to the
above expenditure for crows, fox
bounties amounted to $4.00 for 2
fox, S18.75 for rs hawks.
The club pays 25c bounty for
crows and $500 for fox.
By far the best shots were Wilbur
Niswander and Montgomery who as
a team bagged 100 crows and SO
hawks.
Other members who shared in the
program were: Winston Jennings 10
crows, Merit Green 81 crows and 4
hawks, Gilbert Montgomery 5 crows
and A hawks, Wilford Gratz crows,
Lee Wilkins 15 crows, Paul Shulaw
a crows, Ira Wilkins 81 crows, Cleo
Diller IL crows, ROLAND Lugibihl 9
crows, Clarence Stonehill II crows
and a hawks, Games Green 28 crows,
Charles Burkholder 1 hawk, Bill
Boehr % crows and 2 hawks, Norval
Which fox, Bin Edwards fox, Har-,
old Marshall 3 crows, Dick Staley II
crows, Harry Shrider 5 crows, Al
Wilkins 10 crows.
Outdoor cooking books say crows
are excellent eating and tempting
recipes are given. William Dennis,
Luna Pier, Mich, says crows taste
just as good rs squad and he sug-
gests this recipe.
If the hunter has a chance, bleed
the crows, and il it doesn't Interfere
with his shooting, skin the crows In
between salvos. Soak the bird over
might in salt water, drain we'll and
cook the same as chicken, duck, or
any other bird. Bill is a firm belev-
aer in soaking both game birds and
animals overnight in salt water, es-
pecially crows and raccoons.

Too many pork chops transform

charm of yesteryear. Maidens. do
not sell your young beauty for a

Learn the great refusal-the re-
fusal of the rich foods that stay
