These districts are authorized
to secure help from any feder-
al, state or local agencies or
persons who can aid them in
carrying out the district pro-

through the State Committee.
Examples are the aid of the
County Agent in carrying on
the conservation education
work, the experiment stations
in improving methods, and the
Soil Conservation Service in
supplying technicians to help
farmers and ranchers work out
and apply correct conservation
plans for their particular units.
This Service also has furnished
some special equipment.
What work is done depends
on the will of each farmer and
rancher. The districts are pre-

The second is that the number
who vote must be large enough
to satisfy the State Committee
that the vote is representative
of the area.
Following the successful vote
on a soil conservation district,
the State Committee appoints
two district supervisors who
get a certificate of organization
from the secretary of state
and conduct an election for the
three supervisors necessary to
complete the first board. These
are elected for one, two and
three-year terms, but after the
first election supervisors are
elected for three-year terms.
The appointed supervisors are
replaced by elected men after
their terms expire. All super
viSorS must be owners or oc-

On the average, enough rain falls on your
farm every year to make fine crops. But, after
the first few minutes of rain a smooth surface
seals itself, causing run-of. 1t has been scien-
tifcally proven that the same field will NOT
seal itself when plowed with the Graham

furrow every - inches. This method by-passes
the rainfall through the top soil and keeps
a straw mulch on TOP. Upwards of three
times the moisture enters the ground.
If the next day is fair and hot, the bare
soil would soon be steaming and losing its
moisture rapidly. BUT NOT IF THAT

In addition to the fish,
Habrich said, the pond is at

came well established along the
pond, he reported, he has shot
his limit of wild ducks in the

On the strength of that fast ball,

is reflected In the fact that Cary
