Eugene E. Quenemoen, Extension
Economist from Montana State
College will present a visual pre-
sentation on Agriculture Adjust
ments as the major portion of the
afternoon program. The four High
Schools in Richland County have
been asked to furnish Science dis

the agenda made UP by the Rich
land County Planning Board and
the Agricultural Committee of the
Sidney Chamber of Commerce who
co-sponsor the annual affair.

start with registration and a cof-
fee hour at $50 on the 23rd. At
1000 the reports from the 37th
Legislature will be presented by
the Richland County Senator and
Representative. Following each

iod will give those present a
chance to get any points cleared

over during the noon hour, when
they very generously invite the

project into the future with the
adjustments yet to be made.
