March 18th

The annual Girl Scout Fund
Drive started at 900 a. m. March
10th with a kickoff coffee hour
at the Gill Scout Cabin for rs
Sidney business men who will
cover downtown solicitation. Wo-
men volunteers will gather at a

to make final plans for soliciting
in the residential areas. Members

in charge Of planning the fund
drive and served coffee to the
volunteer workers Wednesday

There Is an increasing need for
youth programs today when young
people r spending so much of
their time away from home and
when they have so much more
leisure time on their hands. Thru
Girl Scouting, girls enjoy whole
some recreation, form rewarding
friendships, develop practical
skills and healthy attitudes that
may well determine the direction
their lives will take. It is hoped
that all Sidney citizens give gen.
erously to this most worthy or

know that all funds derived from
this campaign will remain and be
used to continue and increase the
activities of the Sidney Girl Scout
program.

Hearing Under
Way This Week

The North Dakota Railroad
Public Service Commission is
holding a hearing at Cartwright
this week in regard to the Great
Northern proposal to replace the
Goose" with a combination truck
passenger bus service. Large
crowds have been attending the
hearing which began Monday and
is expected To end on Thursday
or Friday.
A number of communities are
opposing elimination of the Goose
and are asking for a modernized
Goose. The railroad presented
their witnesses first and covered
their proposed "Bruck'' schedules.
The Bruck would leave Williston
at sos am, arrive in Sidney at
1910, and Richey at 11:35. The
Bruck would return through Sid
ney at 2:55 pm, arriving at Will
liston at 4;50 pm. Those against
the change commended that the bus
schedule cannot be met.
The railroad testified that their
Goose operation is losing SUBJ
stantial sums of money and the
Bruck would give as good a SER
vice while being more economical.
The Sidney Chamber represented
at the hearing, expressed their
wish for improved service, such as
the "Budd" car used between
Great Falls and Butte. They also
expressed their interest in main
tanning as good or better service
at all points in this area.

Conservation
Reserve Sisq-up
Is Still 0pea

Soil Bank Conservation Reserv
contracts are SIN being accepte,
by County ASC Committees, LIE,
S. Kolstad, state ASC adhninistra.
tive officer, said this week.
The recent publicity attending
the closing OF the signup period
for the 1858 acreage program may
have caused some people to con-
fuse this closing with the Conser-
walton Reserve closing, Kolstad
explained. Actually, he ernpha-
sized, the signup for the Conser-
walton Reserve program will con-
tinue through April Is.
The programs are entirely sep
arate, he explained, although both
r authorized under the Soil
Bank. The Acreage Reserve is am
annual agreement under which a
farmnr agrees to reduce his wheat
acreage and his total acreage of
Soil Bank base crops by the num-
Der OF wheat allotment acres
placed IN the Acreage Reserve.
The Conservation Reserve is a
long-term program to help farm
ers shift general cropland to r
ious approved soil-conserving
uses.
Several new features in this
years Conservation Reserve pro-
gram should prove especially at
tractive to farmers. Kolstad con-
tinued. For example, beginning
this year farmers may enter into
contracts for either S or 10 years
covering land devoted to trees or
shrub paintings for shelterbelt,
windbreak or wiIdlife habitat
purposes. Previously, all tree and
shrub paintings were under 10
year contracts only. The 10-year
requirement is still in effect for
tree paintings for forestry pur-
poses.
Producers may also earn a
higher annual payment for some
Conservation Reserve acreage
County committees may raise the
non-diversion rate to 500 of the
regular rate when all eligible
land is placed in the Reserve or
when land put in the program is
planted to forest trees.
Still another benefit accrues when
all eligible cropland on the farm
is placed in the Conservation Re-
serve and planted to forest trees.
In that case, the County Commit
tee may raise the non-diversion
rate of the annual payment to
1000 of the regular rate. When
these higher non-diversion rates
are granted, however, the County
must determine that
the land or rental value or the
productivity of the farm justifies
such action.
Kolstad pointed out that In ad-
dition to the annual rental pay
ments made ON acreage placed in
the Reserve, cost-sharing pay
ments up to 80% OF the cost will
be made to help farmers institute
approved conservation practices
On the land.
Farmers who are interested in
more information about the con-
,ervation reserve and Its applica-
oility to their farms are urged
visit their County ASC office
At their earliest opportunity.
