The 1856 Agricultural Conserva-
ton Program is now in operation,
according to Otto H. Kersten,
Chairman of the Ottawa County
ASC Committee. The initial sign-up
period is to December 81, 1855.
However, farmers may sign re-
quest for assistance any time dur
ing 1856, but there will be no as
surance that funds will be avail
able after January l, 1856
Farmers are urged to call at the
local Ottawa County ASC Office
during the month of December, if
they have not already done so.
Corn and wheat allotments have
no bearing on ACP Payments.

NOTES FROM OTTAWA -
COUNTY AGENT
FRED GRIMM


Ray Arndt planted multiflora
roses last spring and was back to
order more last week. He reports
they are growing rapidly thus max
ing good fence plus cover for
wildlife. Multiflora rose and trees
for windbreaks or odd area plant
ing are available from state nurS-
cries. See us or Laurel Van Camp
in Genoa for application blanks.
We haven't had to repair the of
flee door because the crowd broke
it down trying to get farm account
books for 1856. Maybe its because
they are also available at the Farm
Bureau Cooperative. Rollie Gratop
of National Bank in Oak Harbor
says he has them ordered too.
Our office has been busily to-
falling up the results of work done
by all the volunteer leaders in CO.
operation with the Agricultural EX-
tension Service. It's rather impoS-
ing to see the results of all the
various committees. Well have a
complete report for you soon.
Gordon Wahlers reports lots of
building activity on farms in the
eastern part of the county.
Willard Smith, a part time farm
er near Rusha Creek, built a
poultry house over plans purchased
from this office. Now he is looking
for pullets to put ia the house.
