served. The duties of Conser.
vation District Director are
becoming more and more de.
manding and time consuming.
It is very important that a
well qualified person be e.
lected to serve in this posi-
tion.
After 'he election at the
Northcutt farm, interested
people will be shown a new
hay baler that should be of
interest to all who cut and
store hay. This equipment
can make a round bale that
weighs 1500 pounds. Since the
bale is round it can be stack-
ed outside or left in the field,
Northcutt has baled a large
field of hay with this baler
and it may be observed. He
also has equipment for mov-
ing these large bales. This
hay baling equipment may be
another way of cutting the cost
of wintering livestock.
The Northcutt farm Is lo-
cated on FM Road 2064 b*.
tween Terula and Troup, Th«
nouse is on the west side of
FM Road 2064 about 4 milts
from Tecula and about 7milM
from Troup.

"Our committee has laid the

mented Mrs. Fisher.
Keep your home healthful and clean,
as you stay comfortable winter
through summer. Electricity
circulates air that's heated or
cooled to the exact temperature
you want. There's no stuffiness, no
drafts. Just clean, even comfort.
Electric comfort conditioning is
quiet, too. And comfort conditioning
your home costs much less than
you think with low-cost electricity
from Seseo.
