Miller Urges Farm
Plan Completion
For AGA by MdY l

Assistance in carrying out
conservation practices under
the 1947 Agricultural Conserva-
ton program will be available
only to operators who sign
farm plans by May l, George
Miller, county AGA chairman
said this week.
The deadline is established
because all plans submitted
must be considered, practices
must be approved or disapprov-
ed and farm allowances must
be established in time to per-
nit operators to plan their
summers work on the basis OF
the amount of assistance that
can be given them, Miller ex-
planned. Any farmer or ranch
er who plans to cooperate in
the program must sign his
plan by May l so that avail
able funds can be allocated to
help everyone. Last year about
600 Big Horn county farmers
participated in the program.
Present indications are that
there will be fewer this year.
According to Miller, the ag-
ricultural conservation program
operates as a partnership be-
tween farm and ranch opera
tors and the government. Op-

orators and AGA committee
men, elected by their neigh
bors, collaborate and fit into
the total conservation picture.
The operators do the actual
work of cultivation, building a
dam, sodding a waterway, or
whatever may have been de-.
cided upon, and the govern
ment, through the AGA pro-
gram, shares the cost.
"Conservation farming is a
major factor in decreasing our
soil loss in the United States
from a million acres annually
to about half that amount at
the present time" says Miller.
Erosion has already reduced
Cur topsoil from an average of
nine inches to six inches.
Through conservation payments
all the nations people are
helping to retard erosion, re-
build the soil and reach bal
aEce between soil depletion
and soil restoration that will

Up and
DOun
the Street

What we want to know Il
whatever happened to those
street signs and house numbers
in Hardin? We thought we were
all set to look like a city. There
was a shortage of materials
two or three times-but We
were under the impression that
the signs had been ordered.
Have they? We don't know
but we'd like to find out more
about it.
Don't forget to vote in the
election for the school mill
levy. The trustees, we hear tell,
will feel better about spending
the money if a goodly portion
Of the voters express their ap-
probation. That we can under
stand.
Incidentally, little paint
and plaster, to say nothing OF
bit of carpenter work here
and there, could do a lot TO:
the grade school building, and
there are other repairs needed
too.
And while we are on the sub
ject of the schools, what about
that playground? We thought
we had started something
there. The phone calls flooded
in and everybody said, Eyes
sir, something's got to be done
about that Well, to date
nothing has been done. We
realize that the weather hasn't
been too conducive to that sort
of work, but the boys and
girls still come home plastered
with mud from head to foot.
What really started us think
ing about that playground sit
uation was the report we had
last week on the work of the
patrons at the Wolf school
grounds. This week We got a
little more information from
one of the helpers on the pro-
position. Said she, when I
saw the grins on the faces of
George Kinney and Vaughn
Shepard as they tried out the
teeter- totter for the tiny tots,
I knew my money was safe
when I bet the little folks
would enjoy it."
We also are informed that
benefit dances were given by
the teacher, Mrs. Dan Eggart,
to obtain funds for equipment.
A basketball outfit has been
purchased and a merry-go-
round ordered
We think the folks who gave
time and materials for the
playground deserve quite a
little credit. Here they are: Mr..
end Mrs. Dan Eggart, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Kinney, MIR. and
