ELECTION TO BE
HELD FOR SOIL
SUPERVISOR
An election will be held for Dis-
trict Number Five which includes
the area South of the Old Santonio
Trail through Alto to the South end
of the county for the purpose of
electing a supervisor for the Soil
Conservation Board for the next
five years.
This meeting will be held at
Wells, Texas on October 6 at 2 p. m.
All farmers living within that terri-
tory or owning land within that
territory are entitled to vote for a
supervisor, according to C. Metz
Heald, County Agent. Heald is en-
couraging farmers of that area to
turn out at the Wells meeting. He
says that it is very important that
land owners be very interested in the
election of Supervisors as these
supervisors are very important in
planning soil conservation activities
not only in this district but in the
county as a whole.
