Camp Prepared
To Do More Work
This Summer
Because -of continued improve-
ment in methods and a better
understanding of the problems
of thq. farmers of this section
the Soil Conservation Service
here will be able to handle more
work this summer than in any
previous year it was brought out
at a meeting of the Bartlett Soil
Association Wednesday.
The Association decided to be
gin a campaign to acquaint far
mers with the advantages to be
gained by entering farms for
soiLandfwaterwnrIcvititothe
Service in the early summer.
oume iui we auvuncages pointed
out were that planning and map-
ping could be done this summer
and terrace lines determined so
that work would toe ready to be-
gin as soon as crops were off
this fall. Having the work done
this summer will .prevent delays
during the fall and! winter and
assure farmers that the work
will be completed before another
crop is planted.
Pasture clearance and fencing
can best be idone in the summer
it was explained. Drainage chan-
nels can be cut during the sum-
mer and sodded tso that they will
be protected when winter rains
begin.
Believing that plenty of work
arranged for now will keep the
C.C.C. camp here until a district
can be formed committeemen
were appointed to explain these
advantages to their neighbors
anid urge that they make ar-
rangements for their work this-
summer. Those appointed Wed-
nesday we're J. A. Powitzy W. E.
Cox Robert Friedrich Eldor
Lindemann E. A. Limmer R. W.
Persky Robert Spiegelhauer
August Meissn'er Willie Mason
and Adolph Steglich of Bartlett;
Ralph Moore of Friendship ; An-
ion Hrna Henry Tobolka J. F.
Bohac an'd Frank Wilcox of
Granger; Fred Harrison of Jar-
rell and Ed Dice of the Arm-
strong School Community near
Holland.
Those who might hesitate on
account of the expense are ad-
vised by camp officials that all
of the terraces do not have to bo
built the first year. Cooperators
who have already had work done
are pretty well agreed that the
work will pay for itself in in
creased production'.
Provisions of the state soil
act were explained by Frank
Moore technician-in-charge of
the C.C.C. camp and L. W.
Herr.don camp superintendent
at the meeting Wednesday. The
method iof setting up the state
organization' and the .steps neces-
sary for the formation cf dis-
tricts were also discussed.
