are the mechanical features
which are most dangerous ii

DeadIine for Final
AcP signup
Is Approaching

The Big Horn county PIMA
committee this week reminded
farmers and rancherS that the
final date for signing up to par
ticipate in this years agricul-
tural7 conservation program is
approaching rapidly.
Farmers are urged to fit
their conservation practices for
this year into their 1851 pro-
duction schedules to assure
maximum yields from their
planted acres. .
To this end farmers should
take an inventory of the con-
SerVation needs of his farm,
and determine what is needed
to check erosion, what is need
ed to increase production this
year and to keep the land in
condition for continued produc-
ton, the committee said.
The county committee sug-
geStS that farmers consider the
priority of conservation prac-
tices with those most urgently
needed at the head of the list.
With the help of the local PIMA
committeeman, these needs
should be checked with the
practices which have been an-
proved for Big Horn county
and a conservation program
worked out which will meet
with the most urgent needs.
This will result in getting the
most conservation for each dol
lar of conservation funds spent
: and at the same time help most
IN meeting defense needs, the
committee believes.
Full information on the ACP
program for 1851 is available at
the county PHA office in Har-
din. Operators are urged to
stop as soon as possible and
sign their work sheets to avoid
the rush whcih cuStomarily oc-
ours during the last few days
of the signup.
