Horny Soil
Conservation Corps
Has Good Year

With the years end still weeks
away, 1852 has already rung the
bell as a banner year in soil con-
servation in Horny County, o. S
kirkpatrick, Work Unit Conserva-
zionist, of the Soil Conservation
Service, reports.
AS o. November 80, total Of
l81 new cooperatt~s, representing
1920 acres, had joined the Sol
Conservation District program
during 1852, as compared with
172 farmers and 1898 acres in
1851.
By December 81, at the present
rate, Kirkpatrick estimated that
191 farmers, representing 1883
acres, will have started conserva-
ton farming in the district pro-
gram-an all-time high. In addi-
ton, the Soil Conservation Service
has assisted $50 PIMA participants
in planning and applying perman-
ent-type soil conservation prac-
tees on their farms.
One of the factors in the in
creased number of district cooper
ators has been the new system OF
progressive planning, set up in
the Horny Soil Conservation Dis
trict, with the approval of the
board of supervisors, of which H
L. Davis is chairman.
This new system enables farm
er to start the initial phase of a
soil conservation district program
Immediately with one or two prac-
tees and go on from there to the
advanced stage and finally the
basic stage of farm planning in
which a soil and water conserva-
ton program is developed for his
entire farm.
Another factor which is expect
ed to have an increasing effect
in speeding up conservation work
on the land is the recent realign-
ment of SCS personnel. The form
er district conservationists have
been replaced by a smaller num-
Der of area conservationists with
supervision over a larger territory
thus making it possible to have
additional personnel for technical
on-site assistance to farmers on
the land.

Smyrna times., 1952-05-08

on May 1, the second was palyed at
Dover on May 2. Smyrna's oppo-
sition in both games scored II runs
against Smyrna's 1 and 7. Rainy
weather which ~kept the Eagles
from ,practicing is one of the main
reasons for the defeats. In the
first game, which was with Saint
Andrews, Smyrna's team showed
many errors and was unable to do
anything at the plate. Saint An
drews out hit Smyrna 5-3. A hom-
er with two aboard by Saint An
drews' LIE Compte in the sixth ac-
counted for runs.
The second defeat given the Eag-
les was by Dover High-12 to 4.
Both teams hit three times but
again costly errors by the Smyrna
fielders gave Dover the advantages
to bring the runs across the plate.
A homer by JACK Larramore IN the
sixth brought across three runs.
Dave Jacobs pitched for Smyrna
and was credited with his first loss
of the season. Two sparkling plays
by Leroy Everett at short stop
kept Dover from scoring more
runs. The following boys took
part in the two games: Leroy Ev-
erett, Dave Jacobs, James Mood,
Dick Scott. Bill Warner, Sam
Jacobs, James Turner. Tom Simp@
