Announcement of plans to form develop
ment company to attract more industry to
this community is heartening news.
It's indicative of the newly-found initia-
tive and fresh thought that properly direct
ed, can spark tagging economy-not only
here, of course, but throughout the nation.
Our civic leaders have touched match
to the torch They've pointed the path to
economic stability. Now what happens?
Are we going to sit back and let Kelly,
Harry and Reed do the job alone? Are we
going to greet their proposal with skepti-
cism? Will their plan jar loose the lethargic
fellow-do-it attitude that plag
ues SO many sleepy communities from one
coast to the other?
Or will we all put our shoulders to the
wheel and build together the kind of city
men of vision insist is destined for Port Clin-
ton?
AS citizens of this community-and that
covers good bit of territory-we all have
q responsibility to be concerned with busi-
ness and employment conditions right here
at home.
Now, some may say that action on these
conditions should rest in the capable hands
of the Chamber of Commerce We maintain
that's wrong. The valuable work being done
by the Port Clinton Chamber of Commerce
is not enough.
There has been tendency for many of
us to fall into lazy habits and it has reached
the point where good many citizens are all
too ready to pass on responsibility for COM
munity welfare to an organization or an
authority.
When business gets bad we ask each other,
We'll, what's the Chamber doing about it"

gloomy day that puts most folks
in low-down mood and makes
'em sit around and brood. My
wife, for instance, looks like she
has lost her only friend, by gee;
I'm sure poor neighbours full of
fear the sun will nevermore APP
pear; and even our old dog lies
there as though he's burdened
down with care.
But what is there to fret about?
For my part, I could cheer and
shout, cause it's not hard for me
to find some joy in days of any
kind. Just see the silver in this
cloud: Mirandy isn't talking loud,
my neighbor won't come DER
today, the dog will keep out of
my way. The peacefulness and
quietude have got me in a happy
mood; no reason why I should be
blue, there amt thing for me to
do but head for my old rocking
chair and read the morning paper
there, than nap until the day is
done and dream about tomorrow's
sun.

snow as well. And he figures this
snow moisture will mean higher
crop yields later on.
With the tree and buffer strips
taken out of cultivation, only half
of the 100-acre field can now be
cropped. And Jensen plans to sum-
merfallow Is acres of that each
year. Still, he is sure the Is acres
cropped annually will produce more
than the whole 100 acres would
without conservation farming.

WHENEVER I HEAR the words
Contour Farming" or see them in
print, it causes me to think back to
the 1905 when the country was so
dry and windy and the good, val
liable top soil was on the move, pill
ing up along the fence lines and in
other places where it could do no
one any more good.
Contour Farming is a step up on
the ladder of success as far as good
farming is concerned. Here in Crook
County, we have very good soil, red
to be sure, but soil that will really
produce and continue to produce if
handled correctly and not worn out
or overworked by continuous crop
ping.
Soil Conservation Vital
Summerfa1low was the first prac-
tice to prove very successful in this
locality. Now it is almost a must.
Then came comforting and soil con-
servation. Soil conservation is one
of the most helpful and by far the
most valuable agricultural program
to be introduced to us farmers and
ranchers in many years. am certain
in my own mind, that the drouth
years would not have been so dis
astrous and heartbreaking for so
many had the practices outlined in
our Soil Conservation program been
employed
wildly recall during the summer
and fall of 1886, of watching my
fields rise up in the air and go bill
lowing down the valley with those
of my neighbors. The dust storm
was continuous for four days with
out letup, and we were forced to
hang wet sheets at the windows so
we could breathe in the house.
I often thought to myself, ''There
must be some way to stop this or at
least some way to control it to some
extent" But at that time, contour
ing, terracing, strip farming, etc.

Contours, 5000 Trees Needed
To Cope With Problem Field

WOULD YOU TAKE 100 acres of
your farm land and work two years
arranging it so you could crop a
quarter of it year? Harold Jensen,
Sheridan County, has done just that.
And he figures he'll make it pay
more than the whole field would
on crop summerfallow basis.
Of course, there's one catch to
this: Jensen's field is a rolling,
shifting stretch of light, sandy soil.
Farm it in ordinary ways and you
can't hold it.
When he bought the field three
years ago, Jensen knew it had blown
and would again, and he planned
to put the whole works into crested
wheatgrass. First, though, he tried
to get one wheat crop. But when
he plowed the field, it blew so badly
he decided some permanent i'm
provement measures were called
for. So, with Soil Conservation
oS4 WIG dlO, llGIG NOW
he dealt with the field:
First, he surveyed it into even
width contour strips, leaving be-
tween each buffer strip at least
rod wide. The buffers were planted
to crested wheatgrass. Within each
of the 10-rod contour strips right
down the center of each, Jensen left
an additional % feet and in these
strips, last spring, he planted trees.
Each tree strip includes three
rows of trees about IL feet apart.
Jensen planted 5000 in all, using
buckthorn, Chinese Elm and Russian
Olive with buckthorn as the west
row wherever possible. He planted
Chinese Elm in the middle row of
each belt of trees, Russian Olive in
the inside-or east-row.
Though rolling, Jensen's problem
field is not as ruggedly billy as
many Sheridan County fields which
are strip-farmed conventionally. But
he chose comforting over ordinary
stripping for two reasons: Wind
won't have the chance to whip full
length down any strip; water eros
ion will be held down by both con-
tours and buffer strips. The trees
will be an additional windbreak,
Jensen points out, and will hold

Farmers who have raised dairy
calves in portable pens report that
these calves average 28.8 pounds
heavier at six months than those
raised in the barn, probably due to
the fact that pen-raised calves are
unusually free of parasites and dis
ease.

Conserve Moisture
One of the main things that con-
tour farming does for me is to con-
serve moisture. Moisture is one of
the main factors in raising crop for
me, because most of my operation
is dryland farming. Hay, grain, or
whatever crop 1 am planning to
grow, must depend on natures own
irrigation or no crop, so try to con-
serve every drop of it.
1 do not find that it is expensive
to farm on the contour. 1t does take
little more time, but it has for
several years grown better crops, so
one gains on income on the ground
farmed. My younger brother, Wood
row, has definitely proved that corn
can be successfully grown on land
that has reached the point of blow
ing easily, does not absorb rainfall
or snowfall so well and allows the
water to run off in the gulleys. BY
comforting, the water is held more
or less where it falls, thereby soaking
into the field where it is needed.
My neighbor on the west, Pat
King, and 1 have a section of land
leased from a neighbor. This land
has drainage in two different direc-
tons. The land did not hold the
moisture, the run-off was terrific,
and the spring thaws would run
streams as large as creeks. 1t was
discouraging to see all this moisture
leave the land we were trying to
make produce a good crop. We
needed this moisture on the land, not
down the creek.
AS great deal of interest was be-
ing shown in Soil Conservation in
this area, a Soil Conservation District
was established the first to be set
up in Crook County.
Tried Terracing First
Pat and talked over our section
land problem and we called in our
S.C.S. technician, Mr.. D. J. Feeley.
With him and his assistant, we went
over the entire section very thor
oughly. We came up with the idea
that terraces would be the way to
keep the water on the land, so the
terraces were surveyed. After some
more study on it I decided the ter
race method was not the answer, due
to the fact that terraces tend to drain
the moisture from the land. I called
Mr.. Feeley again and we gave this
more study and decided together
with my partner Mr.. King, that the
contours would again do the job. We
set out to run the contour lines and
throw up the high-furrows. This Sec
ton of land has been successfully
farmed on the contour, using any
method of blowing, cultivating, rod
wedding, and drilling, with all op-
erations done on the contour, and ]
can truthfully say that we have
stopped most all of the run-off. We
. have also raised the average yield
per acre by about bushels.
also believe that contour farming
is big help in weed control, due tc
the fact that where soil erosion anc
blowing are under control, the weed
seeds do not scatter so badly. I am Z
firm believer in contour farming be.
cause I have watched it practicec
by my neighbors and have expert
mented and studied it myself. 1t ha.
